    Generator to alternator

    Hey everyone, I realize A bodies didn't really have this problem, but figure someone must have done the swap at some point so I'll post my question here. I've got a '62 Chrysler, 361 with points and a generator. I'm looking to do an electronic ignition conversion so I obviously need to swap...

    Rally dash harness vs standard dash

    Hey all, how do you tell the difference between a wiring harness from a rally dash vs one from a standard dash? I'm putting my '67 Barracuda back together and I can't tell which harness came out of it. I've got a bunch of harnesses here from number of different A bodies but I'm not sure which to...

    '68 steering column .. what's this do?

    Hey all, I pulled the column from this '68 Valiant I bought for parts and noticed it had an extra electrical harness snagging it up. I thought maybe it was a '68 only thing, but the floor shift column I pulled from my '68 Cuda doesn't have it. So what is it?

    Issue with turn signals in 70 Dart

    Alright, after doing numerous searches here I still cannot find a thread with my similar issue. My turn signals quit working on there own last year, as in they wouldn't blink when I pushed the lever. I figured the relay went out, so I swapped it out with a known working one. That temporarily...

    Grounding the instrument voltage regulator

    Are you not supposed to ground the instrument voltage limiter? I did a bunch of reading here before doing so, but I may have fried it. My problem is the fuel gauge doesn't work. While re doing the car (1970 Dart, standard cluster) I installed a new sending unit, new line, new ground strap at...

    Bypassing neutral safety switch - 65 Valiant

    How do you bypass the neutral safety switch on a 65 Valiant? I don't care if the car starts in gear or not for now, I just need my reverse lights to work. Or would this particular switch not have anything to do with no reverse lights? Anyone? It's the single prong unit like this..

    65 Valiant 273 auto - questions .. not starting, and dying in reverse

    Like the title states, the car is a 65 Valiant, 273 2 bbl, column shifted 904 automatic. It's that 65 year 904 which is half cables, half linkage. Sometimes when I turn the key, the car won't start. It's not like the starter cranks, I just get nothing as if the battery wasn't hooked up. It's...

    Gas gauge and temp gauge only half working

    The car is a 65 Valiant V200, 273. The gas gauge only works half the time, and sometimes it works for a long period of time, and sometimes it kicks in and out, and then won't work at all. I pulled the sending unit out of the tank, cleaned the connection point, which made it a little better, but...

    Turn signal question - 65 Valiant

    I replaced the entire switch component inside the steering column, but turn signals still do not work. Tail lights come on with headlight switch, so I know it is not a burnt bulb problem. Nothing happens when I try the signals though. Is there a turn signal relay anywhere?

    Starter? Coil? Bad ground?

    Just recently the car has been having starting problems. It is a 318 with headers, with electronic ignition, Mopar Orange box, stock coil, and a standard size Mopar starter. The car will start fine on a cold start, and I can drive it anywhere. As soon as I shut it off, and it is warm, it will...

    Anyone know Toyota engines?

    A friend has a 1976 Toyota Chinook (small camper thing), with a 20R. The alternator is dead, and I know it supposedly is hard to match up alternators because they don't all plug into one another in Yota's. He also has a 1981 Toyota 4x4, with a 22R that just cracked the block, but has a newly...

    Show me your stereos in your car

    Anyone got and pics of their sound systems in their Mopars? I don't mean newer Mopars, I just mean older ones that originally came with say an AM radio. I want to put a CD player in my Dart, but I'm not going to cut up the dash at all. I was thinking of putting it in the glovebox and maybe...

    Polarization, not getting a charge

    After switching the /6 to a 318, hooked everything back up, everything worked like it should. I put in electronic ignition, orange box from Mopar Performance, just a stock coil. Put in an alternator that i had used before on the /6, and not a new battery but one i had used on another car...
