Car will start in any gear position. No reverse lights. I need to figure out what the prev owner did to bypass the neutral safety switch circuit and fix that. Then hook up the neutral safety switch. That should get me reverse lights.

Thanks, The shifter is in the column. But at one time before I got the car, it had a floor shifter. Some mods were definitely done to the wiring. right now everything seems to be working fine. It will be pretty hard to find the "Jump" to ground. I haven't had a chance to see if it will start in...

So, I traced the wire that goes to the neutral safety switch. The 3 wire plug is not even hooked up to the Switch on the Trans. Previous owner must have grounded it somewhere and after moving things around the connection got fixed. So now I can start it with the ignition switch. Now I just need...

Update: I am able to run the car by putting ignition switch in run position and then jumping the Starter relay. If I turn ignition switch to start, I get power to both of the lower terminals on the relay. but power is not going to Starter Lug on relay. It is starting to look like a bad starter...

Do I need to ground the ignition switch for test purposes? I have it hooked up but not installed in column yet. Short is gone but it will not engage the starter in the start position. Thanks. Also 2 more weird points: 1: There is power to the Starter Post on the starter relay even when in run...

I Got the wiring upgrade done. There's definitely a dead short in the ignition switch. I will order one and take it from there.Thanks for all the replies so far.

Okay thanks, Is this regardless of what type of distributer is installed? Does it being extremely hot indicate a short?

Okay thanks, I wasn't sure if the Balast resistor was normally hot. I really appreciate the replies on this as I am pretty poor at electrical/wiring. The MSD system was in the car when I got it but I will try to compare the wiring to their website. I also need to ID the distributer.

Thanks, The conections are crappy especially where the Fusible link fried. That was where the Red wire runs to the Amp Meter. I will find the short before hooking the Battery back up.

Any thoughts on this?

I am getting ready to do the MAD upgrade. My dart has an MSD 6A ignition unit installed and everything was working fine until: 1. My Dart wouldn't start and the Key would not engage the Starter. 2 I left the key in Run and jumped the Starter Relay but the car would not start. 3. The Fusible...

I wiil start the new thread. I got the 3 connectors pulled in the engine bay but no sigh og Burning. I think the Fusible link was what was smoking. It feels pretty "spongy". It's real tight in there for pictures and to work on it.

Okay thanks. I will try today. This car also has an MSD ignition system. The weird thing is that the Ballast resistor was left hooked up but never seemed to be a problem. The wire that smoked is definitely one of the 2 that go to the Ammeter. Myinitial guess is that I have to do the MAD bypass...

Could you please tell me where the dead short was? Thanks. I am going through this problem right now. my 73 would not crank so I left it in run position and tried to start by jumping the Solenoid. She would not fire up. Then the connector at the bulk head started smoking. I disconnected the...

Title is clear. Fender Tag is in tact but no build sheet. I will post more Pics this coming week but the underside is clean. The interior is pretty sweet too.

1973 Dart Swinger: Here we have a Beautiful Muscle Car. It is worthy of all your local car shows and turns heads everywhere I go. This beauty has been in Surry Cty, NC its whole life. Low Mileage 67,000. New Paint Built 318 V-8 with Lunati Purple Cam. 727 Torque-Flight Trans. Nice interior. This...

I'm going from memory but I believe that's a Clutch type Sure Grip. I'm not an expert on this so hopefully others will Chime in.

I would pass on this Demon for now. Stick around the Forum and learn everything you can. Like Fender Tag decoding, Common failure issues and repairs and most importantly values. How to check for "hidden" rust. This is a patient man's game. Run your Passat thru the winter and try to build a...

Congrats to Brad! Couldn't have happened to nicer Guy.

I have a good friend that is a welder. He built his own Rotisserie to work on his old Ferd Truck. I'm pretty sure he'd sell it or build another one for you. PM me if you want me to get you in touch with him. I will call him this afternoon and make sure he's down with it.

The Green "Go-Daddy" one almost flipped over. Way to Go J.G. for adding some excitement back into the Sport:hello1: If it was like that every week, I'd watch every race in full.

Passenger inner Fender. I'll probably move it to the firewall when I paint the engine Bay.

I would try wire brushing it and see how hard it is to get off.

Gonna start gigging again after 4 years of Trucking. I am so Stoked. Here's a Pic of My favorite Bass. It's a 1st Generation Jaguar. It's Like a Fender Jazz on Stearoids

Okay, I got ya' I gotta agree with 67dart273 then. I thought you had modded the cold air blend door already. You're on the right track now.:glasses7:

How bout the heater control valve? I'm not positive but You should a Vacuum activated valve that controls the Water flow to/Through the Heater Core. Might be cable activated. Can't remember exactly. I once bypassed it with a deep socket and 2 hose clamps and got perfect heat.

Sorry to hear this bad news. Prayers sent out from NC.

You can also readily pick up Vintage cloth covered wiring. To me the Cloth seems almost identical to the sheathing on the rods. My son restores old lamps and radios so that's how I "discovered" the similarity. All the above ideas sound great too.
