Thanks. That's what I missed. I didn't see where it says to time it to #6. I new there was something. I have a '67 ford that worked differently. Timed to #1. Runs great.

The manual says the marks should be facing each other. Which is what I expected to see when I took the cover off, with the #1 cylinder up, and the rotor in the distributor facing #1 terminal. But it is opposite of that. So I am not sure if I should put it back together like it was, or turn the...

A strange question. I am putting a new timing chain on my 225. A 1976. not the original motor, so it's 76 or newer. It has the peanut plugs. Anyway. the timing marks on the gears are not right across from each other The crank gear has the mark at about 10 oclock which should be right. But the...

I did that. That made it worse, because there is a texture to them that goes away pretty quick.

Black is perfect. That's the color I was going for when I painted the ones I have. Let me know what you want for them, and if you have both sides so they match, I may be interested in both.

I need a upper door panel for the drivers side door on a 1973 dodge dart two door.. I messed mine up. I painted it and it looked pretty good, but I tried to put a matte clear coat on to match the dash better, and it reacted badly. Now I need another one. It's the plastic panel that the door lock...

I cleaned up the circuit board months ago. soldered some loose pins on the connector. everything was working until the fuel gauge stopped. I am going to replace the voltage limiter. That could be the problem you're having. I've heard those were pretty unreliable even when they were new. The one...

I'll look into these suggestions as soon as I get the chance. I don't know if I mentioned though, The gauge was working fine for a two or three months before going dead. I don't know if that means anything or not. But it seems like it would rule out bad connections where the wire attaches to the...

Thanks for the ideas. I did the ground test and it comes out good. I did the resistor test at the tank, so it should be good from there. It is a brand new tank and sender unit. All new stuff back there. There has been a lot of talk though, on various car channels about an epidemic of bad parts...

The sending unit is new. But that doesn't mean it isn't bad. This seems like the most likely answer, but I hope not. I don't want to end up buying a lot of the same parts over and over finding a good one. I also ordered a new instrument voltage limiter just in case that is causing the problem...

Ground is good. At least it tests good with an ohm meter. Plus I did hook up another wire to ground just in case and still nothing. I looked at the info you posted, and it may be useful, although I hope to figure this out without removing the sender unit. It is brand new which these days doesn't...

Maybe someone can help me here. My fuel gauge quit working. I tested the everything as best I could. I read where you can put a resistor in place of the sending unit at the tank, and a 25 ohm resistor should read about a half tank. And it does. The sending unit read 18 ohms, which is what I...

To me AM is morning and PM is evening. But I don't know much about this internet communication thing. Never had a reason to get into it until now. Usually I just call a friend, or go over and talk to them, but they have nearly all died off by now.

Thanks. I don't even own a smart phone and have only once sent a text message. On my flip phone. That's how out of touch I am with this internet communication thing. I never would have gotten "conversation" out of "DM"

I probably sound like an idiot, but I'm just old. What is PM?

It's a '73 car. As I stated in response to another post, the engine is at least '76, different heads than earlier, the rear end is possibly '72, which may be part of the problem now that I think about it, and the drivers door is from a different car. The window stabilizing part bolts on...

I bled them several times. Ran a whole quart bottle of fluid through it in an attempt to be sure it was clean.

I call it that after finding out the engine is 76 or newer, the rear end is probably '72, the drivers side door is not the same as the passenger side, so I have no idea what year it is. Which is a problem as it's missing the part that keeps the window from flopping around, which is clearly...

First off, thanks for the help. It's great having somewhere to ask these questions. It's been 30 years since I last got serious about working on cars. Second, this gives me a couple of directions to go. All parts and hoses are new, with the exception of the hard lines going to the back brakes...

Not power brakes. Manual. It doesn't seem like it is retracting at times, but what then, would be the cause of that?

I have a '73ish dodge swinger I'm trying to get on the road. New brakes, shoes master cylinder, wheel cylinders. I can't get them to work properly. They work sometimes, then they barely work, and sometimes, they lock on. Bled the master cylinder before installing, bled the wheel cylinders...

That all may be true. But I can't work on the new cars. I can't get my artheritic old hands in the tight spaces you have in the new cars. And if you modify anything you have to know how to reprogram the computer to make it work. I still enjoy the old cars. Tinkering to see how smooth you can...

That helps. It is probably a '75 engine, or at least head. Now I have something else to look at. I'll see what plugs a '75 used and see if that matches. Thanks. My brother put a Cadillac engine in his Ford car hauler truck. So anything is possible with the right tools and skills. Edit- Just...

The plugs I pulled out are autolite 26. There is nothing in the NAPA stores, or any other parts store around here, computer that lists these as the correct plug. All the recommended plugs have a longer thread, and a 13/16 hex, with a gasket. There is no room in the recess that the plugs sits in...

Hi. I'm new here so bear with me if I get something wrong. I have a '73 swinger I just started working on. I was looking for spark plugs, and all the plugs for this cars 225 slant 6 at the store have a 13/16 hex size. They won't fit, as there is not enough room for the wrench in the cavity where...
