I am considering running off more of these battery cable kits. First off, thank you to those of you that have purchased these from me in the past. I will be gaging interest before rounding up the materials to make 7 more kits for purchase. These are available for 67-72 small block V8 A body. I...

I got a mini denso alternator from a 92 Dakota V6 I parted out. I was wondering, is it internally regulated or not? If not how easy is it to put an internal regulator in it. I have saved it because I was thinking I could swap the pulley, swap in a built in regulator and install it on one of my...

I have a 1969 barracuda with light package. I recently removed the lights on buzzer pn# 2983330. I cannot find this PN anywhere. I can find a different one for 1969. Then a different PN for 70, and another PN for 71-75. The bracket for this thing was rusted into the dash, so I believe it may...

This thread is for converting the more abundant standard dash 68-69 dart/valiant thumbwheel AM radio to a harder to find 68/69 rallye dash radio. Its actually quite simple really. You dont even need the rallye dash chrome mounting plate, just the stock 68/69 dart/valiant radio, an adaptor...

Are these really decent?

I am interested in buying a 68 dart thumbwheel radio for my 69 barracuda. Can i mod this to fit a rallye dash? Or would it be easier to just wait on the correct radio.

The cost of buying a new repop positive battery cable is a bit crazy, i can make one of these myself. Got 2 questions for y'all though. 1. What is the gage used for the positive cable ? 2. What is the stock length of the positive cable from terminal to terminal for V8 A body cars 67-76 ...

Hi Y'all, Since i dont have my instrument cluster completely back together, i decided to add some hidden non stock niceties. One of these is an alternator fault light. I am using a mini denso alternator which has a spot on its built in regulator for an indicator light. It a pretty simple...

I am looking at shift lights. Specifically the proform one. Anybody here that can tell me if this is a good one? I plan on hiding this under the dash, and putting the actual light inside the parking brake indicator. Thanks Matt

Hi Y'all, I am restoring the rallye gage cluster on my 67 cuda. I did all the usual stuff. Cleaned and repainted the housing with bright white paint, got brand new lenses, and bright green LEDs, got rid of the blue diffuser covers trying to maximize my lighting output and be able to read the...

Hi Y'all, I am mocking up my engine and wiring before i blow it all back apart and start smoothing , sanding and painting my engine compartment. Ran into a bit of a problem i had bought an aluminum radiator, and man is this thing thick. With my water pump and pump pulley there is probably...

Hi Y'all, I am in the process of modifying my engine compartment harness to add in an 8 gage wire for my denso 50A alternator, finish my ammeter bypass circuit on the engine side, etc. 2 questions, My new alternator being an internally regulated denso type, i bought a denso style plug to...

Hi y'all, I have a starter cable routing question. I have a 67 barracuda i have removed the slant 6 from it about 6 years ago during my slow moving resto project. I have gotten to the point that I am currently mocking up the wiring for a V8. The question i have is, how is the starter battery...

I work in the airline industry for a living. One of the things we do on the heavy check line (overhaul) is EWIS. "Electrical Wiring & Interconnecting Systems". This is a cleaning and inspection of the wiring harnesses, and connectors for dirt, corrosion, chafing etc. Anything that can degrade...

There has been some discussion on another thread about using maxi fuses to replace the fusible links in our cars such as the fusible link for the charging circuit, alternator direct to battery. As well as for the body harness. I have looked all over the net and cannot seem to find a fusible...

Hi y'all, I have a 50 A mini denso alt, i just bought #8 gage wire to run it to the battery. According to powermasters website 50A up to 105A across a 4 foot to 7 foot run requires a #8 gage cable. What i bought was marine grade fine strand OFC copper wire along with the crimp n solder...

Anybody concider using marine grade trip resettable circuit breakers when doing their headlamp relay mod? Typically if theres an issue with a short they will not let you close them until the problem is fixed. I think this may be a better idea than fuses as you dont have to replace burnt fuses...

I am going to be doing the headlight and high beam relay modification. I know how i need to wire it up, wondering about the relays tho. What amp relays typically should i use. 12V 40A ?? Or is there something else? I plan on running halogen lamps either sealed beams or H4 type 55w/65w...

Hi Y'all, I am looking at my year one repop engine harness alternator output wire. It looks to be 10 gage to me. I am going to wire out the amp gage setup that goes thru the bulkhead so i will be running this lead directly to the starter relay lug with a fuse link. According to some...

I know this sounds stupid, and i should know the answer, mebbe i am thinking about this a bit late at night and am overtired, however when dealing with spark plug wires, Is the wire with the lowest number of ohms resistance is the most efficent transferring spark? Thanks Matt

Ok folks, I am looking at 50 amp compact 1 wire denso type alternators. I can get a nice one new for a good price. What i need to know is if 50 amps will be too small for my application. The stock alternator when it was a strippo slanty was a 25 amp roundback. I know this had to have been...

I was looking at lithium ion batteries, as a friend of mine has a harley davidson softail. He ordered one of these. It was about $200, so its not cheap, but had 525 cold cranking amps, and is 2Lbs. I looked into the car sized ones they are around 12Lbs, super expensive, and have around 1200...

Looking for a compact lightweight nippondenso alternator to fit my 318. Around 65 amps. Anybody know which one fits, and what its out of. Any custom pulleys and brackets to make it work? 65A is more than plenty for the electrical setup i am running. Thanks in advance Matt

Hi Y'all, I am building my 67 cuda with a 74 318. The 318 was an A/C equipped engine, and my cuda had a slanty. I have a set of non A/C alternator brackets, and bolts, however i need the spacer tubes that go on the pivot bolt for the alternator. I can make these if someone has all of...

I will eventually add a factory tach to my rallye cluster. I have the correct color and gage wire already ran for this, i need to know what kindvof ends i need, and if its idiot proofed, which end is on what wire etc. The wires are factory color code dark blue and medium gray. I have...

Repop rallye dash tachometers, are these any good? I am not looking for shitty assed comments about how they are made in Chinna. Most of the repop stuff is Chinna , or Taiwan. What i am looking for is actual user experience with one of these. Good, bad, or otherwise. I am not...

I found lots of general info off the net in regards to building one of these, seems pretty easy except for one thing, i have a rallye dash with the IVR located inside the gas gauge. After removing the gas gauge from the cluster, i carefully unbent the tabs on the sides of the fuel gauge ...

I have dewired the amp gage out of the dash wiring, and the only additional power requirements i will have on my barracuda will be an electric fan. I dont plan on adding A/C or radio. Car was radio delete anyways. I prefer the roar of an unmuffled V8 to a stereo anyways. What.do y'all think...

I am looking for a source of the mopar distributor nylon shaft collars for the V8s. These used to come as a service part with a thrust washer, and a roll pin. My dealer says i can now only buy this as part of a new distributor. Well no thank you. Somebody has to make this part. Anybody know a...
