    need help Bad-excuse me for being stupid

    Nothing wrong with Autolite plugs. In fact, I won't use anything else....in anything I own that uses spark plugs. My 440 had Autolite 85's in it when I bought it. The car wouldn't run for squat, and would constantly stall. I replaced them with 86's, and it's been running like a scalded moose...

    factory chrysler stereo questions

    Thanks Jim. My speakers don't have the amps on them. That, as far as I know, is Infinity only. My truck didn't originally come with the Infinity system. Geo

    Redfish, thanks for the help, man. I guess nobody else on FABO knows anything at all about Chrysler stereos......or perhaps it depends on who is asking. I greatly appreciate that you took the time to respond. Have a great day bud! George

    Radio reception question

    Corvette distributor sheilding was installed because the Corvette body's firewall being fiberglass didn't isolate the radio from ignition noise, it had nothing to do with reception whatsoever. The fiberglass body on the other hand DID reduce radio reception, so the GM engineers installed what is...

    Painted amber bulbs

    The painted ones (1157a) didn't work very well, or for very long as you can see. The paint used to peel. The preferred bulb was the 1157NA (Natural Amber) and lasted as long as any clear bulb would have.

    Finding the right spark plug for your 340 or 440 HP ..

    I don't know where you got this info from, but, for example, the Autolite #86 is the plug recommended for 69 Corvette with SHP 350. Maybe the application is the same for 318 engine, but that doesn't mean it's a "low performance" plug. Best of Luck to you if you decide to spend unnecessary funds...

    Finding the right spark plug for your 340 or 440 HP ..

    I've been using Autolite plugs for 30 years. BB Mopar #65 SB Mopar #86. Those 2 plugs seem to last the longest, and run very well. Good Luck! George

    Headlight question 69 Dart340

    And if that doesn't work, check to see if all the wires are pushed onto the headlight switch correctly. Sometimes the wires can come loose from the shell and not make contact to the switch. George

    Theft prevention.

    Insure it for full value, then, if it gets stolen you simply build another one. I parked my gold 69 Swinger 340 all over the place. Just locked the doors and took all my stuff with me. It was insured for $30,000 which was more than I sold it for. Same with my Corvettes. I insured the last one...

    Wiper Motor Park Switch

    The park sitch is located under the flat cover of the wiper motor. Basically just a couple of flat steel "switches" tell the motor to park. There are also a few different positions for the park switch so the wipers will set in the right spot on the glass. Take the cover off and check it out...

    New Emergency Flasher Switch?

    If you open the switch up it is very simple inside; just a few brass contacts and a slide. You can clean the old grease out, clean the contacts, regrease it and reassemble it in about 15 minutes. George

    Battery

    Sure will work. It will appear as though it is on old battery, BUT doing so is EXTREMELY dangerous, and I would recommend NOT doing it. Buy a new one if you like the look of the old style battery. George

    Cuda overcharging? Please help...

    It might be something as simple as a weak battery. Let it go for a couple of days and see if it settles back down. The system might just be doing it's job and recharging a low battery. George

    Saving speakers

    In my opinion, those Jenson speakers were THE best sounding speakers on the market at the time. I wish I still had some for myself. I never knew you could buy repair kits for them. Thanks for the tip. George

    rear ground wire 69 dart.

    Snake- The "ground" for the tail lights and the plate light comes from the fact that the light housings are grounded to the body. The light sockets for the tail lights have metal feet that retain them to the back of the light housings, and provides the ground. The plate light is grounded as it...
