Are you willing to share where you found this? I searched with no luck.

I don't mean to rock the boat here. It has been several years since I had my dash out and my memory isn't what it once was. Having said that... I don't recall the 5 OEM bolts having the pointed nose shown in previous posts here. They were black coated machine screws with kept washers...

Sorry but there were 2 different sizes of buttons. Square holes in this gasket would be different also. DMT likely has both and knows what the transition year was. I'm thinking 64 &65 were the larger buttons but I've been wrong before.

It has been 20 some years since I worked in machining cast metals but we still found sand in them. The tool coolant spray would often bring it out. In this case, lower back of an engine block, it's not going to travel. There is no turbulence. Only circulation. The small stuff might lift and...

I was thinking 1/4-20 bolts. The threaded neck of the 'U' nuts wasn't much taller than the head of the bolt. I decided so long as the bolt doesn't come out of the neck, all good. Yeah the heat case and the left fresh air think need to be removed. So if you find you need about 5/8 bolt length...

It is supposed to have a flat hue so it doesn't reflect onto the windshield. Just clean it with a mild soap. I liked the creme type GoJo that had lanolin in it. That and thorough clear water rinse is the only thing ever used on my 67 fish dash. It still looks new. I haven't searched for that in...

In the beginning, Henry Ford got his engines from Dodge Brothers. They were already building reliable engines for all sorts of equipment. Most don't know that Kingsford Charcoal is a spin off from all the waste wood that Henry Fords auto production created. Just a little bit of trivia some find...

You probably already know your 75 model has a white fuse box with about twice as many fuses as the earlier black 5 circuit fuse box shown above. If this is a gauge pod that mounts under the dash, like under the radio maybe, All the power you need is right there at the radio and already fused...

Posting the same details yet again. There are differences between 66 and 67 buckets. Starting at top of seat back... For 66 model, the piece of steel frame underneath the skin is round. For 67 this piece is/was changed to square tubing with holes stamped through for headrest posts. Doesn't sound...

You may find this interesting... For 74 thru 76 models the factory deleted that 3rd lower bolt. 1974 DODGE A Body Steering Column Mounting Bracket - Dart Duster Scamp Valiant | eBay I have to wonder if the assembly line workers had the same problem I had with it. I've noticed aftermarket...

3 holes at column support. The upper 2 have studs from dash down through plastic bushings. The 3rd lowest one gets a bolt up and into a caged or captured nut above a hole. I'm not sure that is the hole in your picture though. One thing I do know... you don't want to cross thread the bolt that...

Yep, all those other lamps in the instrument panel get their power from other circuits. Illumination gets shifter indicator, radio, maybe a ashtray lamp, all on an orange wire. Some instrument panels have 2 connectors with this orange wire in both. Thus gauge lighting on one side but not the...

And all this BS is why my 67 notch fish will likely sit where it has sat since covid lock down. More headache than its worth to try to sell it, here, ebay, craigs list, anywhere. Sure I would like for it to have a happy new home but to leave me unhappy? Feck that. We got our happy from it.

It's simply the nature of us bi-peds/humans to use any flat surface as a shelf. I guess the best example I can present is Jotul #3 wood stove because we own one. It is illegal to place this or similar stove in a bedroom. Someone would throw a robe or something flammable on top of it. "Nature of...

We would joke about it. "If you can't stand behind it and see the radiator cap, it aint jacked up high enough". LOL

To do that my wife would need to snap the pic with her cell phone then email it to my laptop. It's pretty much just a hole punch like tool made of very hard tool steel. I would use vise and hammer to bend factories 4 corners inward back close to where they once were then use the tool to spread...

Difficult to see for sure but looks like the 67 rally bezel has also been cut for a different radio. It might be repaired with a extra glove box door bezel and plastic welder. You have enough space behind to add scabs from donor plastic to make your weld joins stronger than OEM was. The...

Its quite difficult to get a screw to go anywhere but into those slots. The tapered top causes the screw to swim about and find the slots. PIA really. When the aftermarket started reproducing the brackets, they put the same slots in them. Back when I made and sold console brackets (before...

OK, The climate controller doesn't show DEFROST and DEFOG but it does do both. Cycling the a/c compressor on and off in "defrost" mode has been done in about every vehicle with factory a/c for many years. Long before todays computer controllers. The purpose is to defog, dry the air in the cabin...

My brother (actually an electrical engineer in training) says the weaker nut is the mechanical engineer's manner of suggesting/showing a weak foundation, being the way such a large stud is attached. The studs might have been much smaller diameter or even a totally different manner of attachment...

@S'cuder You can use a 10-32 die with a drop of lube to clean those rusty contact studs. It's a tedious chore since a handle wont go there. Fingers only. My 10-32 die from Harbor Freight just barely fits between the studs. The factories stamped tin nuts contact only 1 thread of the stud. Since...

I'm quite pleased to see "heatsink", "finned heatsink", and mention of compound noted on your drawing. Sure some portion of the heat would wick out into the mounting tang of the unit but we must understand that the heat is generated inside the chip. Thus the heat is concentrated in the part of...

Hey, I've been logged in more than an hour and that box that says "page not responding" Didn't show up until I jumped to this "coffee" forum. Go figure. Maybe I can create a listing in the "cars for sale" forum without that headache. Have a great day.

Yeah a crowd of owners/ DIY type do use steering column mounting for a ground point. I had done the same in the beginning. Later it occurred to me that if at some point in the future I might need to partially pull the inst' panel for light bulb R&R or any other simple service I would need to...

I'm closing in on 67 yrs old. I want to sell my last B'cuda and leave the old car hobby in my memories. I'm not physically able to get the car prepped to sell. We truly enjoyed it when we were younger but going to a show or cruise-in isn't appealing at all today.

The downside... no matter how many places you ground the solid state regulator to the cast metal inst' housing, nothing is chassis grounded until that housing is chassis grounded. You'll need to add a ground jumper to batt' negative before attempting any bench testing. Reason being, If this type...

I too prefer the OEM coke bottle green illumination produced by incandescent lights behind blue diffusers. I don't think a poll in this forum could prove which side (OEM or LED), is the minority since not every classic car owner, or even all a-body owners participate and/or would respond to the...

I understand your meaning a tv remote. I'll interpret the comment as a remote that controls how he conducts himself in my hand. It's strange how this website worked fairly well yesterday and sux goat balls today. I have over 20 minutes in creating this post.

I know a guy just like that. He would bang anything that walks, crawls, and half of what creeps. He still lives right behind us but he knows to stay on his side of the property line. I catch him near my back door I'll plant him back in the woods with the 2 huskies. Years ago when we worked...

Good morning @memike I think I can top that although this post will be a bit personal... I had already had my fill of my son and his lazy *** gurlfriend living here. There were several other issues that led up to this. I wont go into all of that. I always leave my remotes on the end table...
