    Duralast......I think I got it from Advance Auto.

    Battery Charging

    Thanks, I thought so but when I checked the Schumacher manual they had you connecting leads to the out-of-car battery and attaching the clips to those. I assumed it was a CYA move but I wasn't 100%.

    Battery Charging

    My Barracuda is presently in storage and I'm about to bring it out for the summer. I pulled the battery out today and brought it home. I've never charged a battery out of the vehicle. Normally, I put the red clip (+) on the positive post and ground the black (-) on the engine block. Where does...

    Corrosion

    Thanks. I had to wrap the bulb in duct tape, I was putting excessive pressure on it. Last time I had the problem, the bulb scattered and sliced my thumb open. A little late to the lubricant party.

    Corrosion

    Is there anything to spray inside a light socket to retard the corrosion? Had a hell of a time removing the brake/blinker light yesterday.

    Brake Light Switch?

    I po Poked my head under there and thought the same thing......"this would have been easier 20 years ago".

    Brake Light Switch?

    Okay, thanks. I see the switch has a relatively long thread area so it can be adjusted to a degree. I disconnected the terminal when I parked it the other day. I thought my charger was malfunctioning, I'd charge it in the evening and turn it off when I went to bed and try it the next day...

    Brake Light Switch?

    Thanks. I noticed that there is play in the pedal that allows me to pull it toward me to better engage the switch. I'm wondering if it should always come back up fully and if it isn't, like in my case, is there a spring somewhere in the mechanism that needs replacing.

    Brake Light Switch?

    I noticed recently that my brake lights would come on when the car was parked. I assume it's the brake light switch and have pulled the pedal up to engage it but it inevitable happens again. I ordered a new switch over the weekend but was wondering if it might be the pedal. I haven't looked at...

    1969 Dodge Dart Gt temp gauge and fuel gauge not woriking

    Is the limiter built into the gauge on the Dart?

    1969 Dodge Dart Gt temp gauge and fuel gauge not woriking

    Try grounding the sending unit with a wire to the frame. If that doesn't work, odds are it's the voltage limiter which I believe is built into the gauge. It's built in on the 69 Barracuda.

    Intermitant Oil Presure Gauge

    OK, this points me in the right direction. I should have added that my fuel and temp gauges don't work. Thanks!

    Intermitant Oil Presure Gauge

    Just got back from a beautiful fall drive in eastern PA with the top down! However, I noticed my oil pressure gauge was jumping to H for a while and then it would go back to it's usual position. What would cause this?

    Bouncing Speedometer

    When I was driving out to Carlisle I noticed my speedometer was bouncing. I also passed one of those digital speeding readouts and noticed about a 5mph difference between me and the readout. Is this an indication of a bad speedo cable?

    Instrument Cluster Voltage Regulator

    So if oil is still working the limiter is still good?

    Instrument Cluster Voltage Regulator

    Is it normal for the limiter within the gauge to fail> And if so, would that effect the Temp gauge also?

    Instrument Cluster Voltage Regulator

    Hey Benny, I'm guessing since I don't have a rallye gauge on my 69 that I have a separate regulator. I've been able to poke my head under the dash and noticed a wire attached to the gas gauge going to a cylinder that I'm assuming is the regulator. However, the regulator I purchased is...

    Instrument Cluster Voltage Regulator

    Thanks, if I'm not mistaken, I believe RedFish sells one.

    Instrument Cluster Voltage Regulator

    On a 69 Barracuda /6, would it be plugged into the dash or the gas gauge? I've been having a heck of a time trying to find it.

    Turn Signal Indicator

    Couple of questions...... I removed the cable and socket from the underside of the hood and unbolted the lamp fixture. The bulb is stuck in the fixture and I'm hesitant to apply any force. I put some penetrating oil around the threads in hopes this might free it. Is the bulb held in via the...
