    harness plug getting hot

    Just a follow up to the ongoing saga.. All is well once again. For starters, the Column had to be removed and was sent off to "Hemi Pete" over in Bridgewater Ct. He found a few important small parts were missing and bearings installed incorrectly from last summers column rebuild that I...

    harness plug getting hot

    Didnt shim it to align with the instrument panel here. The collar around the column for the auto shift was contacting the shaft, so as you would turn the wheel you were getting the scrape noise. The shims centered it up just enough to avoid all contact.

(havent seen or heard from him, hope he's...

    harness plug getting hot

    I was just down in the garage again checking the connections. One thing MIGHT be an issue, maybee not. To align the steering column (centerd) in the collar we used shims we made from washers when we bolted the column back up underneath the dash. Reason being, was getting a loud squeak again...

    harness plug getting hot

    Just completed a few items over the winter, had the gauge cluster out and replaced the circuit boards (rallye dash) and added the LED lights. The LEDS work nicely by the way. Had to wait for a new fuel gauge voltage limiter (solid state) which was the holdup. (BTW positive we hooked up...

    Dull dash gauge lights - rallye cluster

    Appreciate forwarding the information. Details like this are hard to come by and worse yet when your in the garage on a Sunday afternoon and you want it done "now" you'll never have this stuff at hand. Anyhow: The dull bulbs were all brand new replacements. And believe me, hardly used the...

    ground strap on A body to motor??

    I now believe in majic jeannies. Found the cure by chance, hooking up some mechanical gauges and a tach. I had a friend Ed who was up for the summer from Florida hook up the electrical power supply and grounds. While he was under the dash he pointed out some bad connectors, plugs and all...

We have the negative cable grounded to block, but not pigtailed to chassis.Thats a potential issue. I cannot remember ever seeing any nice restorations at shows with the neg. cable pigtailed to...

    ground strap on A body to motor??

    That wire from the wiper to the blower we scabbed off a parts car (was missing from mine) the other 70 duster was an unmolested /6 car we were certain it serves a purpose. On my electrical schematics it shows both motors grounded, but not specifically to each other. The ignition switch is...

    ground strap on A body to motor??

    This is an old issue not resolved.. (gauge works, sender unit Ok, good ground from sender to chassis) Real quick the problem is the fuel gauge works just fine until the motor is started. Then I LOSE power TO the back of the fuel gauge. Its a '70 rallye dash, fuel, oil press and temp off same...

    '70 fuel gauge-weird problem

    Yep, you understand correctly! Thats it exactly. I was wondering if the ignition switch was THE problem.. There is a bit of sloppiness to it. Im not sure I understand why the ignition switch could be the problem, this had some pretty good people stumped on another MoPar website.. Just a...

    '70 fuel gauge-weird problem

    Stumped..My '70 Duster. Here are some details first. All new tank, sender unit, fuel lines. Gauges sent to G car for restoration, and he converted to solid state. Already did the test for the gauge by grounding out, and yes the gauge goes right to full so we know for a fact the gauge works...
