    Slant Six Oil light coming on — need a new pump?

    About those sending units... if you or anyone else wants to replace them instead of getting a mechanical gauge, keep this in mind... the replacements they sell down at the local parts stores are not so great. About 3 years ago, I had to replace the one in my 77 F150. It was leaking. Pulled it...

    Can you really pull a battery cable and the engine still runs?

    Seems if your battery is already full and your ammeter is resting in the middle, then the alternator is no longer charging and it's only running any load that is on the car. In this case, the voltage spike would be minimal to non-existant. However, if you start the car and the ammeter is...

    It's no wonder the Slant 6 is so great!

    When I turned 16, I inherited a 73 Gold Duster with the Slant. It was an extra car at our house. Had been sitting in the garage for years due to a burned ballast resistor and I figured it out. I had to drive that car for a year. Hated it. The only good thing about the car was it had an...

    Don’t Convert to R134a

    Short on Circuit 7 (not six) - 1974 Plymouth Valiant Scamp

    Well there's nothing absolutely suspicious looking about that mess! :lol: Do you suspect that was taken apart previously? I bet whoever did that was probably chasing blown fuses for some time and never thought to look in there!

    Short on Circuit 7 (not six) - 1974 Plymouth Valiant Scamp

    I would start with disconnecting everything in that circuit... put in a fresh fuse and then go back and reconnecting things. This will not identify a problem with wiring leading to the item. It will only identify a problem with the item itself. Look inside bulb sockets such as the trunk...

    Short on Circuit 7 (not six) - 1974 Plymouth Valiant Scamp

    Is it possible you mean circuit #7? In your photo, you have fuse 7 empty. Fuse #6 in that photo is the first one top left, and is fused for 3 amps. The items you mentioned... trunk light, buzzer, E-Flashers... are non-switched items. The items Townsend quoted you from the book are all switch...
