Yes, but I ruined the prop and the shaft it was on.

I have been working on updating the wiring on a-body AC system. Tried to use quality parts that are reasonably priced and available. Mopar push button vacuum switches come in a few types. What I used for the wiring update was the later / re-pop style. This five button switch has three lugs...

Its a dead brainier. Since you have an 8.8, that is the way to go.

Back in April I broke my Grandpa's 1940's vice. I was trying to take off a jet ski's prop.

It took me 20 years to find one. It was in a 65 Barracuda. It sat on my shelf for 10 years. I sold to some on this site. It ended up in Europe. My advice would be to upgrade to an 8 1/4 or 8 3/4. Finding a suregrip for an 8 1/4 will be a lot easier than a 7 1/4. Doctor Diff has 8 3/4...

Long a go I gave up on finding the original clips. Now I just look for universal clips that would do the needed job. Crest Automotive is local to me and is a supplier to body shops. They have a web site . Universal Type Moulding Fasteners - Collision Repair Fasteners - AUTOMOTIVE FASTENERS...

I have married the two together. Its hard to find the correct outer wheel. This one I made with an AMC center. Its easier to find Chevy truck 15x8 outer hoop and then use mopar 15" centers. Also new outer 15" hoops can be bought and then reuse Mopar 15" centers.

I removed the resistor spring wire and installed a jumper wire the same gauge as the rest of the wiring.

Last winter I made new wiring for my 65 coronet. I wanted to make some changes and up date things. This is a list of some of the things done. Wires colors and size (gauge) are all the same as factory. Factory wiring diagram is mostly correct except for the changes I wanted to make. Drew...

I narrow and straiten 8 3/4. This one I'm putting together right now. For me its easier to body work/ grind the rust out then DA the finish, because its thicker metal.

Thanks to all who contribute to FABO and allow me to learn some thing new and be able to keep my old junk running. I have put together some information that some might find helpful. I have not completed the how to make a gauge tester like the C-3826. Fuel gauge calibration If you have a...

I am currently working on making my own wiring harness on my 65 coronet. I chose to do this because I wanted to make some modifications to the way it is wired. I also am adding relays to these: headlights, high speed on the heater/AC blower motor,, Ac clutch, power top. I have been planing...

I have been messing with milkstone remover to remove rust. You mix it with water in a plastic barrel. Works nicely to remove rust. First soak the part in another barrel that has a mix of lye with water to remove paint. Picture is a rusty fan shroud soaked in milkstone remover. I had...

I'm adding factory Ac to my 66 Signet convertible. Planing to update the AC wiring with some relays. Its a slow work in progress.

Hi, First off I want to thank you for continuing to make parts for our old cars. To me it looks like (top picture) they are both A-body evaporators. 65 to 72 is one style 73 to 76 is another. They are not very different from each other. But I don't think the will interchange due to the...

On my 65 coronet, ten years ago, I was having all kinds of electrical gremlins that were causing crazy issues, especially with high humidity. After many hours of testing I tracked it down to the original printed circuit board. I confirmed it being the problem by removing it and replacing it with...

Just found this info on a 1992 Dakota tach, and thought I would share it. https://www.allpar.com/threads/1995-dakota-help.238556/

Sorry to dig up an old thread. Just thought I add some info. Just doing research in to updating my 65 coronet and 66 valiant blower motor with a relay. On another site it recommended using a single five pin relay right before the motor. This allows the switch and resistor like normal until HI...

Nice to see you got your truck up and running. The dakota's SMEC computer controls the tach. I messed a little with a stand alone tach driver but did not have any success. Did not spend much time on it. Not all of the Smec for the dakota's have the tach driver in them. So when cloning you...
