    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Not sure any of the long distance travelers would want to leave the crowd, or stay sober any longer than neccessary.... However not out of the question. or some WW2 vintage

    Do you mean amongst us, or are you saying the line at the gate will be just as bad as Saturday?

    Since you have it off, remove the cover. I don't think this is the problem but might as well visually check the fusible wires and points. I'll need to reread later what you posted about the high restance when moving wire.

    In the wet. Preferably in a parking lot. You are correct, its hard to get it just right for the worst situations. Those are downslope turns - so the backend is light and already wants to come around. The higher the speed the worse it can be. No road race or rally body used a rear sway bar...

    https://www.web.imperialclub.info/Repair/Lit/Master/ Go to the first "Disk Brake Hydraulics" session. I think its '66. Then go to the '67 and finally the '70 sessions so you can see the changes. No BS. Tech right from ma Mopar for her techs. if you prefer pdf and ypou tube format, go to...

    Tough call I suppose. Is better for the community to have a bunch of empty buildings or not? Guess in this case I'd say better leave 'em empty and let the industry take the hit. Next time they'll build with metal roofs, brick face and fireproof shutters.

    Only real fireworks I saw this week were driving back into town Wed night. While on the sweeper from I-95 onto the vine street xpressway. If I wasn't so hungry I would have found my way to a view spot.

    I *think* even NJ now allows sparklers. The state that requires a firearms purchase permit to buy a BB gun! But with the fire danger, I get it. They got to try to do whatever it takes

    The NAPA VR32 has resistor's underneath? If you open it you'll see points. Very simple system. I'm the last guy to tell you to buy parts and swap as a diagnoses method. Have you tried starting with the VR ign side connected and the field terminal disconnected? If it doesn't start then...

    Cranks but won't start. Unplug ground at field spade on Alternator and it starts?

    My thought is to test whether it relates to the Unlite's power feed by connecting the Unilite directly to the battery positive and then see if it will start. It can't be left like that because it will be powered with the key off. Are you using a piggy back to make the power connection? Those...

    Show this to yourself with the water analogy. Turn the garden hose on with the spray nozzle shut. Pressure in the hose is what? Same as the pressure supplied by the city or well pump. Taking this further, connect the hose to a sprinkler. The pressure in the hose when its running will be...

    With the new Unilite, it seems possible its power needs are more picky than your old one. I've not worked with them, so all I know is what I've read in the instructions and things like that. Its possible there is either internally different than your old one, or something about the wiring is...

    Thanks for the additional info. Now we all know what is on the car. Sorry but at least I missed this part when I was responding the other night. That's what I would have first suspected - ign 1 & 2 wires might be switched Correct for points. Not sure what MSD coil and Unilite will work best...

    Here you go, Piston area and force.

    Sometimes, in fact most of the time, a word will be used that is accepted and understood which is not technically accurate. For example, 12 Volt is accepted as an approximation for system voltage even though in reality the system runs between 14 and 14.8 Volts 99+% of the time. Likewise the...

    Found my dads original 1971 duster!

    This guy was also working on '71, but with a Ralley dash. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/1971-duster.534041/post-1974225570 Some of those have some subcircuits for headlight on reminder and such that can get tricky. If you trouble with one of those start a thread about tjust hat...

    Top right cavity is damaged. Off the top of my head that might be for wire L1. Get a replacement connector. If that is L1 with the AMP Fast-on 1/4" spade terminal, replace with a Chrysler or Packard 58 for 14 or 16 gage wire. Sorry but that's what is needed so it will have a good connection...

    Found my dads original 1971 duster!

    Yes its possible, but probably not a harness problem, but a bench test problem There's a lot garbage online too. Since you want to bench test, you will have to make sure the circuits have a return to the power source. Your challenge will be to understand each circuit you are testing. The...

    Two of those circuits use the headlight switch, turn signals do not. I would start where you know there is power and then follow each circuit until you get to connections that have no power when they should. If it was me, I'd start by testing the horn or measuring voltage at the alternator...

    Of course its not the dimmer switch. That's makes little sense. That wouldn't effect parking lights or turn signals. Glad that person's description clicked with you. Different peaople have different ways of learning, or respond better to different explanations...

    Sounds like it might be in the switch. Dana has disassembled a switch for repair and posted photos. edit Found it 67 Dart Headlight Switch Demystified Removing the switch is a bit of a pain. Need to be able to hold the side button so the shaft with knob will pull out. Then unscrew the nut...

    What regulator is that? It looks like it might be a type that was used with certain special option alternators.

    Probably within spec. Slip ring to slip ring the rotor resistance should be 3 to 4 ohms at room temperature. The carbon brushes work well as a conductor when spinning but can show a lot of resistance when measured with a meter like that. But at least we know it's not open. Good. So no short...
