    Air/Fuel meter seems non responsive

    Years ago on the advice of a fellow car guy, I installed an A E M air/fuel gauge. I was having detonation issues and thought that the gauge could help me tune my way out of the problem. Over the years, I have enjoyed having this gauge because it showed in real time what was going on. You could...

    Headlight switch.

    Hello, I have a 72 Duster out back and can't get the headlights, turn signals or taillights to work. The car sat for years before it came here. Long story short, this was a project for my brother in law who later lost interest and sold it to me. We put it together on the cheap so there are parts...

    67 Dart: Temp and gas gauges dead.

    Hello, I have a 67 Dart that will be getting a fresh 360 in about a month or so and I want to get the car ready for the transplant. For awhile now, the temperature and fuel gauges have not worked. I need to get at least the temp gauge working for this new engine. The new one is a 1990 roller...

    Really weird ignition issue...

    Hello, This car is a 1972 Plymouth Duster: Years ago, I swapped in 1979 360 from a van, later I swapped in a reproduction 340 cam from Mopar Performance. It has a Weiand 4 barrel intake and I had a Holley 600 4 barrel on it for most of the time I've had the car. Today I changed to an...

    Lightweight Lithium car batteries

    I'm thinking about replacing the battery in my car with one of these lightweight Lithium batteries. First off, these are SAFER than the lithium batteries of the past! The models that I am looking at are constructed with Lithium titanate, a component far more stable and safe than any other...

    Cranks slow with the key, fast at the relay

    I’ve had this issue before with these old cars. From inside the car, I turn the key and the starter spins over slow. When I take a screwdriver to the relay… It cranks over as fast as you’d expect. The battery is fully charged…. The car is a 72 Duster… It isn’t anything wild. It was a...

    What was the year that the A body cars had this feature?

    This design with the power input and output mounted to a more positive terminal…. It sure seemed like a better design than the one that followed.

    What ballast resistor do you use for the aftermarket electronic ignition system?

    First off....YES, I did do a search of this. The info that I'm seeking wasn't clearly listed. For years, various vendors offered a factory appearing electronic ignition conversion kit for these cars. It featured a distributor, a 2 pin ballast resistor, a 4 pin ECM and a small wire harness with...

    Starter relay conundrum

    Here is a new one that I've never seen before.... It pertains to a 75 Power Wagon of mine but since the electrical systems on cars and trucks are so similar, I figure that it applies here. (I did post this in the Truck forum as well) The truck is a 75 W 200 Power Wagon (1978 Grille) that was...

    Wire harnesses. When did the design change?

    I sold a 65 Valiant convertible to a guy and will be helping him get it running. I got it in pieces so I am not all that familiar with how different it is from the 67 and later A bodies...of which I am much more familiar. The buyer is less experienced than me and is looking to me to steer the...

    Replacement 2 speed wiper motors

    I am interested in hearing from members that have installed NEW 2 speed windshield wiper motors. The one in my '70 Charger was moving slow and then stopped working. I had a nice looking one in the parts shed so I tried that one. The motor makes noise like it is working but the wiper linkage...

    Testing a charging system

    My Brother in Law's 72 Duster has been at my place since 2007. He recently said he wants to use it as a fair weather Daily Driver at his place in Phoenix AZ. He likes these cars but has always had me around to guide everything and advise him. Once he takes the car, he will be on his own. I'm...

    65 Dart. Brake lights and dome light stay ON....Why ??

    I am just getting this old neglected beater running. 1965 Dart, originally a slanty but when I got it in 2015, it had a 318, a slip yoke 904 and a few hokey "changes". I have erased some of the crimes and got the thing up and running. The dome light and brake lights seem to stay on all the...

    2 speed wiper motors and ballast resistors?

    I have a 2 speed wiper motor and the porceline ballast resistor is cracked. I'm curious if these are similar to the resistors used on ignition systems. Anyone know?
