I have a small 110 heater I got for about 20 bucks at Walmart that I keep in the car. When it’s real cold/frozen out I plug it in and set it on the passenger side floor to warm up the interior before I go out to leave. Works great to not have to get in a freezing *** car and wait for the heater...

One day I went to start the car and it cranked really slow. I had noticed one day about the same time my stereo was making a hissing noise even with it turned off. Turns out after using a test light between the battery positive and the cable and disconnecting things, that the memory power for...

I have had these ugly temporary battery terminals forever and finally decided to do something about it. Haven’t had any problems with them, just ugly. The ground cable was red but wrapped with black tape, so I made a new one with #2 rubber coated cable. The cables are now silver soldered into...

Any of you ever used one of these units? These are most often used in RV’s for the 125 volt to 12 volt converter output and battery charging systems. Also, some use them for large sound systems and hydraulics when at shows. These things kick butt. Up to 80 amp output, and has battery charging...

Awhile back I wanted to put together a fiber optic dash lighting kit for my Dart. One backlighting light source for the entire dash with changeable color filters. Pick your color, swap out the lense and the entire cluster and all gauges are now backit in that color. Ummm Have you ever looked...

I have done a few of these in the past. The cover is flat and made from white semi see through plastic. MOPAR :D

Recently I ran across this while looking into Bluetooth sound devices. I figured not much to lose for around 30 bucks shipped. A guy I know would like to have music other than just the factory AM radio in his all original 1965 GTO without modifying anything in the car. It has about the same...

O’Reilly Auto Parts carries Dorman part number 42187 headlight adjuster screws with the nylon inserts that fit perfect in the A bodies. (They fit my Dart perfectly) They are in the “help” section. You will need two packages to do both headlights. They come with screws and two black nylon inserts...

http://www.mopars4us.net/movies/junk.movI hereby swear I will never buy a Procomp (now speedmaster) product again. Awhile back I bought a 2 stage rev limiter from them that had two dials for liminting hi/lo RPM's They sent me a rev limiter that took chips, so I contacted them and they said they...

Hell of a deal on these right now. GE Lighting H6024NH Nighthawk Automotive Headlight Bulb 43168281539 | eBay SEE POST #2 If I would have known that I wouldn't have posted it.

Anyone have a diagram for this POS before I throw the damn thing in the trash? I bought the 2 stage limiter brand new and they sent me the wrong one. The picture and description were of a knob adjustable 2 stage rev limiter, and what they sent was the pill type. I sent them the picture right off...

I like the stereo in my car to be connected to constant power so I can have it on with nothing else needing to be turned on, and since I have always preferred mine connected this way I never forget to turn it off. BUT, of course since I like it this way and always have, there is a problem doing...

During one 360 degree turn of the crankshaft of an 8 cylinder four stroke engine, how many cylinders fire on the compression stroke? :D So if you got that answer, then how is it that engine RPM's are counted? By 2 360 degree turns of the crank or one? Isn't one 360 degree turn one RPM? Keep in...

I'm putting together this 72 Dart with the 318 for Stephanie (my wife) and am considering the ignition timing for it. It will have a bored but stock bottom end and a 340 style cam in it and HEI ignition with a stock 2 barrel intake and carb. (for now anyway) She drives like pretty much any other...

Hey all, I see that the Pertronics Ignitor III with built in rev limiter is still only available for points style distributors on Mopars and not for OEM electronic distributors. I assume the reason is that the electronic systems have all the extra stuff, like ballast resistor and ignition box...

Do any of you guys or gals have a source for adjustable vac advance cans for the stock smallblock electronic distributors? I can get a stock one locally, but they are not adjustable. Thanks

I want to get my all in timing in sooner than stock and would like to buy from a member. Any of you guys sell them? Factory smallblock electronic distr. I was thinking crackedback sold them, but I thought I would ask anyway just in case. Thank you

If an alternator is AC (alternating current) and DC is direct current, then when AC is converted to DC by allowing current to only flow one way because of the diodes, then this means it only uses 50% of the AC current to make DC so where does the other 50% of the AC go?

So over the weekend I thought I would install my new LED super white LED's in the dash. I have all white guages including the speedometer so this seemed to be a good option and would also take some amperage load off the system. The first thing that I ran across was while putting them in the...

So I go to Procomp's website and find what was supposed to be a dial setable 2 stage rev limiter like the blue one below. Thier website say's this right on the description,,, "Dial in the RPM you desire at the front of the unit, no need for expensive pills or modules to set your RPM." After...

Factory Mopar four pin module with four pin GM HEI ignition module built into it. All the factory pins are connected to the HEI unit inside the box, and it is a direct plugin to the factory harness. This unit can be used with or without the ballast depending on coil used. Plug this in and you...

I think most of us know what a pain in the butt it is to try and tape some wiring up and have it look decent and tightly wrapped, right? Try this, Roll off how much tape you think you may need, and strech it out then roll it back onto the tape roll. This way when you start wrapping the tape...

It looks like a ready to run distributor but we have no idea what it fits.

Ready, go

I wish I had a high def camera now. It's SO easy to test the newly built units with the one in my car. I just disconnect the pickup coil connector from my ECU and plug it in to the one I'm testing and power the coil off the battery. Here ya go. Classic HEI Ignition Systems - YouTube

A few weeks ago I decided I was going to end up with a high energy ignition system in my 73 Dart. Took me a few weeks of planning in my time off here and there, and lots of investigation of schematics for different coil models and designs. At first I was going to use the four pin module like...

I'm pretty sure I have it down, but would feel better about it if I had a proven working diagram for the GM 8 pin HEI module and E-Coil installed in place of the original Mopar stuff. The main reason I want to use the 8 pin is that I would like to look into being able to change the timing...

I thought I might build some HEI systems using the GM Ecoils and ECU then build the parts into a nice looking container for everything with the hookups for power and coil connections on the outside of the case. Something like the picture for the case and everything pre wired inside. Would anyone...

Yesterday I was driving down the road and the car quit. I carry a test light in the car so I find out there is no main power to the relay from the battery because of a cheesy fuse holder in the line between the two. I'm sure it used to be a fusable link, but it was replaced by one of those twist...
