    Squeeling V belt and CVF alternator

    ah l learn something.... many thanks.... probably a gearing problem then.... or indeed it is running on the base of the V due to a width problem. i.e the in-built i'm now worn out and too narrow squeak, is there from day 1 Dave

    Squeeling V belt and CVF alternator

    I'm probably wrong but is the belt shown in the picture inside out....never seen one with the segmented section on the outside, those "toothy" bits usually go into the V of the pulley don't they?? I only ask this because your picture looks to show a symptom we are used to seeing here in...

    Negative Height Valve Spring Retainers

    Crane multi-fit retainers combined with standard or offset locks used to give you loads of options provided you didn't use a combo that causes the retainer to hit the "armpit" of the rocker no idea if they are still made but you could get a mopar sized hole retainer, offset up or down...

    225 still running hot

    yourhigh dollar snake oil dizzy could well have the internals of a vacuum advance dizzy and no vacuum advance in which case there may be little to stop the pickup ring moving. worth just checking that it can't be moved back and forth. i have a similar distributor and chose not to use it...

    OK so does this car have ELB? does it have a computer stuck on the side of the air cleaner

    225 still running hot

    ok so regardless of any degradation. id certainly flush out the radiator heater matrix and block its set up for the kinda fuel you could purchase 40 years ago. which i guess was unleaded fuel with little or no ethanol.. these days there is a good chance that it has some ethanol in it to...

    Brake ground

    take out housing and put it back in with a spikey washer under a nut take out holders clean polish, give the contacts and bulb collar a clean, check that the cardboard/fibreboard disk and solder buttons are good and the spring underneath is not shorting to the wire or the back of the contacts...

    Does This Debunk the "Coolant Can Flow Through the Radiator Too Fast" Idea???

    I guess with a big radiator and really only the very top 1/2 to 1/3 of the cylinder and the head being cooled by the coolant there is less surface area of metal to shed heat energy into the coolant. less exposure to hot metal lower temperature coolant..... that may be more effective at...

    Does This Debunk the "Coolant Can Flow Through the Radiator Too Fast" Idea???

    doing this from memory figures will be a bit wrong and i have taken some liberties to make a point.... its all a bit loose and is based on high school physics water has a specific heat capacity of about 4200J/KG i.e it takes 4.2 KJ of heat energy to heat 1kg water 1 degree C or K so water...

    Does This Debunk the "Coolant Can Flow Through the Radiator Too Fast" Idea???

    I think that the idea that too fast flow through the radiator causes overheat comes from an entry in a book that has been around in its current form since the mid 90s updated and added to, new pictures, new corporate names since then, but the same old text. Its a Good Read Larry Shepherd...

    Strange Headlight problem

    no but it sounds like a short in the floor switch connector or wires check the plastic connector body (3way) has not melted and is allowing one of the 3 contacts to hit the metal "heavy foot" protector edge on the square switch body/mount

    Alternator surging

    seen your video don't worry all OK minor wiggle get 1500 rpm on the tacho and switch on the lights... if it calms down life is good your regulator provides a smooth ramp up and down of charging current for the battery when it has switched the alternator on..... if its switching the...

    Alternator surging

    mine does it mine has done it for 20 years. i have investigated the hell out of it and have come to the conclusion its just like that.... just depends on how charged the battery is and how much load the car puts on the alternator. if i stick the fan on or the headlights it stops then after...

    Solid wire ignition

    the gap works to some extent and you are right a higher voltage can in some cases produce a spark when a lower voltage won't in the old days there was always some fella at a car show with a coil, a plug and wire, on a bench, selling a "spark booster" it will have had a nice box a nice...

    Solid wire ignition

    field if the wire is point to point straight the voltage builds and the spark starts and there is a flow of current you have a field in concentric circles around the wire while the current flows and its size and density is based totally on the current that flows i.e how much energy there is...

    Solid wire ignition

    the only thing an ignition box needs to worry about is 1) Flow through the box to power the coil, when it is on, for the period it is on for. ( dicated by primary resistance and ballast or just primary resistance) 2) The back emf from the primary side of the coil at switch off. this is...

    Solid wire ignition

    i guess the reasons people say NO is radio interference i.e the FCC might be upset :) and if its going to mess with your ECU it will if it isn't going to it won't ECU as in something with a computer in it i doubt the FBO box or a mopar orange box or an HEI would be considered a...

    Petronix Electronic Ignition Any Good?

    Petronix nice and simple but 2 Gotchas apart from never needing to set points again its much the same as a points ignition when you talk about the spark 1) the system uses a Hall effect trigger. this is a special ceramic switch made from 3 pieces of semiconductor, bonded together. The...

    Unsticking an unused engine........

    in ref to question above diesel fuel.... safest can't even light it by flicking in a match or a cigarette waxy stuff.... low enough viscosity to get everywhere but doesn't evaporate much so you don't risk an explosive situation, don't use petrol...! diesel left for long enough grows...

    U Bolts from a Dakota rear end working on an 8 3/4. Has anyone used this or heard of this.

    "BUT I DO NOTE NOBODY ELSE DOES THIS" yeah.... that's what i said :) every other car and truck maker with leaf springs has no problem....... If i was being stupid i would have let you get away with saying chrysler always used round U bolts, in my experience, which i guess will be less...

    U Bolts from a Dakota rear end working on an 8 3/4. Has anyone used this or heard of this.

    pressure applied to the tube under the U bolt U = Force/Area spread the force over a wider area = less pressure i.e a perfectly round U clamp tends towards an infinitely small contact patch on the axle tube massive pressure over a small area causing damage to the tube fat flat U bolt...

    U Bolts from a Dakota rear end working on an 8 3/4. Has anyone used this or heard of this.

    Well all Aussie mopars had "proper" u bolts have a set sitting in "rustbuster" as we speak maybe it was just factories in other lands that did it, or it was a heavy duty or harsh environment option? read a write up years ago by RE in Mopar Action that covered off the benefits presumed...

    /6 rebuild advice

    True not totally necessary but as i'm never sure what type of head gasket is used ....... a monotorque uses plastic or fibre rings around water ways and oil ways some of the older ones use metallic rings as the coolant PH will drift when its left for years a little dash of the magic...

    /6 rebuild advice

    if it has stood for a long time, id expect all kinds of crap in the coolant i'd also expect mayonnaise in the oil filler cap caused by condensation in the block dripping in the oil, for years..... dump both oil and coolant flush cooling system whack in some K seal and plain water for 100...

    Lifter failure

    fair enough being young and foolish i never even used to keep them in the same order if one went bad i.e a none pump up hydraulic i put in a new one and got on with it or took one out of a spare engine so i appreciate fully where you are coming from on that front i did everything wrong...
