    Ammeter wires oh so hot!

    Here is the middle bulkhead harness connection. Those 2 connectors in the base look different,why? Not totally sure. But the one on the far right connects to the plug that has the fuse link that was on the car when I got it. The second connector which looks like it’s brass..maybe replaced or...

    Ammeter wires oh so hot!

    So hard to tell how old these are. They may have been done 20+yrs ago but who knows. I looked at that harness again this morning and cleaned off the overdue of electric grease and I don’t see any melting or burning effects,but like you say anything 50+yes old is not new! Do you think I should...

    Ammeter wires oh so hot!

    I was surprised to see the condition of these harnesses. The first one was pretty clean. As you saw the second one is questionable,but you saw it after some cleaning and application of some dielectric grease. The second harness does appear to have a loose (female)connector and I will have to...

    Ammeter wires oh so hot!

    Brought this up awhile back,but I would like to revisit the problem. Ammeter took a dump a while back so on advice of some forum folks I spliced both wires together and currently they are in an accessible spot hanging under the dash. I can reach over on a drive and can barely touch them because...

    Dimmer switch only works on high beams...stumped!

    A little more backround on this issue: Like i said before the car would'nt start so i used the emergency jumper battery to see if it would help,as it turned out it helped somewhat. In hindsight now knowing i had a bad cell in the battery that is why the car had a hard time turning over. starter...

    Dimmer switch only works on high beams...stumped!

    Got on the bird yesterday and discovered that here in the desert that it takes a huge toll on battery's and anything rubber. That said,went and had the 2year old NAPA battery tested and it had a dead cell. A new battery from Interstate took care of that. Now the goofy part,the floor dimmer...

    Chasing the water temp gauge inop issue!

    Well I did the advised test to see if the water temp gauge is dead or the sending unit and when I hooked the temp gauge wire to the battery ground and turned the key,nothing! The gauge did not peg out. I suppose without pulling the gauges and testing directly I might be just chasing my tail. Any...

    383/automatic with rear main seal leak!

    That green is old paint,I have rubbed on it and it is not wet nor does it rub off.

    383/automatic with rear main seal leak!

    The shop did mention a questionable freeze plug. Don’t have antifreeze in the oil. The wetness in the pan gasket indicates to me that the gasket layering with the rtv was not done right. I know these old motors are going to eventually develop leaks but not after the leaks addressed have 50 miles...

    383/automatic with rear main seal leak!

    Kind of a mixed report,had trans leaks at the band adjustment bolts and while fixing those discovered that it’s the pan gasket area over the rear main cap. I don’t think there may have been any rtv run in that area,but I’m going back in one last time making sure the shop does it right and No...

    Fan clutch pro’s vs con’s…if any?

    I don’t believe I’ve ever had a vehicle with a fan clutch. I have seen them on other old cars,but not sure how it works and if it’s more good than not. My big block runs quite warm,but 110* doesn’t help either…. Thanks!

    Factory color codes have names?

    That looks spot on to mine…I get a lot of compliments on mine. Not your everyday blue!

    Factory color codes have names?

    I think it was Haggerty insurance recently said that the old mopars have increased in value 30-40%. For me it’s just dollars that don’t mean a thing unless you are a seller or collector. We are caretakers of these time machines and my hope is that enough of this passion is getting passed on to...
