I have used this on some fasteners. It works really well to darken the parts. I have sometimes sprayed them with oil based flat clear after dipping to keep them from getting rusty long term. Looks very close to oil. The oil works great too. Just not as long.

I have used a single hole gasket.....and every time i gave it a shot of gas it whistled. I chocked it up to air moving between the carb and the manifold. Put the 4 hole gasket on and it dissappeared

Curious…did you switch from a fully open base gasket to a 4 hole and that’s what caused the sound? Or just a replacement of the sane 4 hole?

ok well try going back to the old base gasket. Did you make a change from 4 hole to fully open or vice versa?

I will second the choke comment....if that engine is warm....your choke is all wrong. For the whistling....start removing hoses 1 by one and capping the input. That will rule out any hoses. Don't forget to do the choke pull off diaphragm hose. Did you change a base gasket? Use a stethoscope...

This is what I was looking for. Thank you

Good Day All, The stock Chrysler radio in my 69 Charger has an issue. The tuning thumbwheel turns but the tuning needle does not move...consistently. It slips per say. The preset buttons work perfect, sounds good, everything else is fine. I am assuming there is some type of belt or cord in...

Thx for the lead! I have been in contact with them.

Turbine68RT...what vender did you get it from?

Good Day All, 69 Charger. Original Points set up. From the build sheet the car only had the Clock. The clock was removed and a Charger Specialties Tach only installed. It has failed. What is the best place to get either a new Tach only replacement or a new TicTokTach? Thanks Macdon221

The plate will fix your issue. No need to weld the slots. That's the purpose of the plate...to limit the advance to the number on the plate. The initial timing may have to be a few degrees off to get the perfect maximum timing. 68-500 covered this above.

Are they even in business anymore? I keep getting redirected to AMS Obsolete.

The number on the plate is how much mechanical advance you will get with the plate installed. That’s it. So with your 14 initial….set the plate to 18….you will get 32 total. Check with the timing light though to ensure that’s what you end up with. Both of my cars the fbo plate has been bang on.

Good Day All, First, I think I read all the threads on tachs first before writing this. Charger Specialties..."Tach only". Has about 5-7 hours on it of use. Worked fine. Stock 68 440, no electronic ignition, stock coil, stock correct numbered distributor with a pertronix pick up. Worked...

Halifax Hops all the way for your distributor.
