I`ve gone through 4 sets of wires on my Barracuda with the same problem. The boots cook by the headers and the insulation cracks, then they start shooting fire to the closest ground. I`ve found a wire by Accel that has a ceramic boot capable of handling temps up to 2000*. Has anybody used these...

I love vintage electronics and I recently picked up an old pair of 6 x 9 coaxial Jensen speakers in great shape. However, the foam surrounds (while completely intact) were in serious need of replacement. Any heavy bass vibrations would soon render the edges into small pieces. Speakers like this...

I`ve been using the MP chrome box w/ .25 ohm resistor and the unit works great if I don`t let it idle too long. If I have to let the car idle for tuning,etc.,for any length of time, it`ll simply cut off and not start again until the resistor cools or I swap it out. Has anybody else had this occur?

Sometimes while my car is running (it doesn`t matter what rpm) the ammeter will just peg and all the lights ,etc., will get really bright.

My oil and temperature gauges are not working in my 68 Barracuda and if you put a test light to their respective wiring the light blinks every few seconds. I went back to the printed circuit and have power coming in to the fuel gauge which feeds the other two. The third terminal on the fuel...
