Rewiring my EFI Magnum - 1970 Dart Swinger
Did I mention the only reason I took out the cluster was to see if my tach would support 4 cylinder mode? (Because the Magnum computer send a 1/2 tach signal). Turns out it doesn't, so I'll splice into the coil wire.
This opened up a huge can of worms... the old "while I'm in there I might as well..."
-Get rid of the ammeter and replace it with a voltmeter. I had to get a voltmeter.
-Put the LED strip lights in the cluster. I had these already.
-Get the factory oil pressure gauge working. I had to source one because mine was dead.
-Take out the wiper pivots and grease them up (smart move, they were a bit stiff).
-Fixed a few hacked up wires that I had ignored previously.
It was all pretty successful, but make no mistake, I have more hours into this than I would care to admit. Especially that voltmeter conversion, that's not for the faint of heart.
Oh yeah, and I managed to screw up my headlight switch. The spring resistor for the dimmer somehow got some debris behind it and it got caught on the thing it connects to. I've had a spare headlight switch for years so I tried to use it, but it turns out it's for a later car and won't work. I put it back together with the damaged switch, but I'll source another one soon.
