Does anyone know where to find the little stainless steel part that is missing from the drivers seat of my 1974 Dodge Coronet. Or what it is called? I've checked, but it's not on my back. ;)

Finally got some time to do the bearings today. It wasn't that difficult, but I have to do everything on my driveway, without a bridge, so that makes it a bit of a challenge. I found out that the right bearing was still the original (and made a scraping noise) and had been leaking, and the left...

:( The fuel sending unit is almost impossible to reach with the fuel tank under the car, so that's going to be a challenge. :( I could barely reach the connector. I know the previous owner installed a new fuel tank and a new sending unit, but he never tested it before installation. I forgot to...

Well, not to be stubborn by any means, but I grounded the wires to the fuel and temperature sending units and the gauges came alive! I measured about 8 volts with a pulse at both wires. It came on every second. But with the wires installed correctly at both units, the gauges went dead again. So...

So I've replaced the burned Molex connector for Anderson PowerPlugs and although it looks nice, it didn't change anything. So I started measuring from the battery, through the voltage regulator, through the bulkhead disconnect and through the fuse box. 12 Volts at the right hand side of the...

Nice car! Welcome from Les Pays-Bas.

They're used in modelling a lot. Like RC cars, boats, etc. Anyway, I've ordered the (white) Anderson Powerplugs. I'll keep this threat updated.

I'll probably will use those Deutsch DTP connectors, my collegue will order them for me. But what about these XT60 connectors? They can handle 60 amps.

Wow, thanks for the help! I really appriciate that. Yes, I do want to put everything back to it's original condition. I'll try to test the gauges with a battery cell, that's a good tip. I hope they're not fried, the warning lamps aren't working eather, but I'll check. How do I do that? Just put...

Thanks for that video! Those Anderson Power Pole connectors look very good, that might be a good fix. At my job (Caterpillar) we use Deutsch Connectors and I can get these very easily with the right pliers and everything. They're used everywhere and we have them with 8 pin connectors, but I have...

So, today I installed a new voltage limiter, but that didn't make a difference. I wonder if it is the correct one. The fuel and temperature gauges still aren't working, together with all the warning lights, like the high beam, parking brake and oil pressure lamp. The dash lights all work...

Okay, I changed the voltage limiter, but found a lot of other things which I will post in this thread: 1974 Dodge Coronet with extra starter button

Sorry, yes, my gauges aren't working either. Along with all the warning lights. Ehm, what is an IVR?

Finally some good weather today, so I took the cluster assembly out and found the voltage limiter and a lot of things that makes me wonder what people are doing to their cars... Anyway, the new limiter looks a bit different than the old one, but I guess this doesn't matter. That conductor (is...

I haven't got the slightest clue of why the previous owner installed those buttons. Just like toolmanmike says, those buttons should be under the hood for service. Actually, they shouldn't be on the car at all. The ignition key works fine. The previous owner was from Belgium, what more can I...
