    ALERT !! Tragedy !! 67Dart273

    Actually we are just getting a little closer to the starting line. Once the basement is cleaned out, or at least to the point we can maybe cover the lathe, etc, it will be time to demolish. Pull out ALL sheet rock insulation, and at least the upstairs wiring and maybe the basement...

    What is this Voltage Regulator

    Several brands sold them, and Ma had one look-alike and maybe WAS the same they called and MP part. There is a huge controversy, "race only" etc etc, and the bit about "constant output" or whatever is EXACTLY what a VR is supposed to do. Only caveat with those is make SURE the case...

    ALERT !! Tragedy !! 67Dart273

    Couple more of the sled project HF winch mounted above, with a snatch block about knee level to allow more room when "up." and a small block on the sled. The return line does not actually move, is anchored to an eye at the floor level

    ALERT !! Tragedy !! 67Dart273

    Making some progress, and found a temp guy who is a real worker. Got the living room down to wood, along with the smaller bedroom, kitchen, and laundry, yesterday. It was the worst mess. Should get the main bedroom carpet out today. THEN it's on to the basement. Some photos Below...

    Odd ignition and electrical problem

    You can not always tell by looking. Some short across wires due to overheating does not always show up on external appearance.

    Too Hot

    You posted similar statement before about tubes breaking loose from fins. I am convinced that is what happened to my old original 273 rad. It was clean as a whistle and flowed lots of water yet would not cool

    Remember that SB Mopar Hilborn intake "I used to have?"

    Found it today back in the laundry room. Not pretty. I guess it could be made operable, but it will take A LOT

    You also might try the Holley forum. There is or was a guy on there that was excellent EDIT LOL finally remembered his name. Danny Cabrel

    Odd ignition and electrical problem

    You likely either have some wiring hack someone did that is causing some sort of backfeed, or more likely some sort of cross between wires in the harness (such as melted from a previous short) that is causing this. If you do not have one go to MyMopar.com and download a free service...

    What is this Alternator

    I tend to agree. What he is saying, is, this is NOT a native 69 / early type. It is or was, a 70/ later isolated field, sometimes incorrectly called a "dual field." You need to disconnect all connections, get a meter, and determine if the field is GROUNDED. If so you can get the...

    Key issues with my newly acquired 69 Barracuda

    The issues are all right in the switch/ lock cylinder, there is no connection, mechanically, to any lockouts, etc. All I can advise is to get it out, get it apart and examine it. You have a service manual? If not, go to MyMopar.com, they are free. You may have to accept Dodge vs...

    Is your 67-76 A-body windshield leaking ?

    Alternator test procedure

    Sorry this is NOT TRUE If you are going to ground one, it MUST be the GREEN wire that you disconnect. The light blue is switched 12V TO THE field, and by disconnecting and grounding the opposite field terminal (the one where the green was) you are causing full power through the field...

    Alternator test procedure

    Don't discount the REST of it. I have found OPENS in the CHARGE WIRE/ ammeter circuit. In other words, the alternator / regulator were just fine, but the power could not get to the battery. Monitor voltage AT THE alternator stud. If it is way way high, but not charging, you have...

    1970 Chevelle 396 HEI Ignition No Spark

    If you cannot do anything else, pull the dist out lay it on a bench and find some alligator clip jumper wires. Consider pulling it apart if necessary and connect back with the jumpers and device a way to get power to it. These are essentially a Mopar 4 pin box all packaged up...

    Can’t get 1968 BB to crank over

    You either need a helper, or some wire, so someone can read the meter or watch the test light. "Rig" ANY wire you have including an extension cord so you have wire to reach from the rear battery to the front. Now you can test various places. First thing I'd do is do that or rig...

    A scathing review of a POS and dangerous Klein tester

    My best Fluke may not make it. It powers up with a new battery, but it was somewhat warm, and the battery leaked. The others I have in the basement are "smokey." So I thought I'd buy an inexpensive tester to get by until I get something better, or see about getting the Flukes cleaned...

    Benefit Auction for 67dart273

    Unfortunately, not much, tho I do have a few leads to chase down. I've gotten most the kitchen, about all the living room, and quite a bit of the main bedroom cleaned out and the rug out of the living room. I've had 3-4 2 person teams that were essentially no-shows. One day before...

    Factory AC Removal Questions

    Easy. Even for an old guy. Try removing the ENTIRE dash out of a Dakota/ Ram to replace the heater / AC core.

    Reverse lights

    Of course. I don't remember where it's tapped off, maybe right at the bulkhead. The switched power comes through the bulkhead, interfaces with the instrument harness, and connects to the rear harness over on the left kick panel

    Turning key to "run" causes all power loss.

    Explain to me how you are going to find a low resistance drop point with a megger. I have been failed "little" by drop tests. You don't really effin care about proportionate increases or anything else. You are mostly just concerned with an unreasonable drop, and usually the really...

    Vapor return or liquid return line?

    You don't need to go to that work for an orifice. Wix (and others) make several different configurations of inline fuel filters with a 1/4" return already built in. Once again, do not connect that to the vapor line unless you provide a vent elsewhere. That IS the vent for the...

    disc brake pads

    I use semi metallic. Even though the 67 has been apart for awhile, when it ran I could lock up the brakes at 70. Simply a decent quality semi metallic. And I bet you are not driving this thing 200K a year, either

    1965 valiant 225 timing issues.

    Tough to say. I would be heavily suspicious of a carb problem, from what you have described. Idle screw should not need to be "clear out." Carb problem or vacuum leak. Have you run a compression test or leakdown test? Have you determined that all six are firing? One easy way to look...

    Vapor return or liquid return line?

    I am against using vented caps. Too big a risk, if the tank is full, and maybe you park with the filler a bit "down" that it will leak down the side of the car. Either convert it to mimmick a 69/ earlier vent, (tube high in the filler tube) or plumb an additional fitting into the...
