Licensed reproductions run around $750…

Sorry, I forget what I wound up with in there. I did get it to stop but not sure what size I used…

One of the attempts, I had found the amp gage isolator broken and I made a piece out of rubber and tried it but still had the short. This time I bought and installed a new Amp gage with a perfect isolator, thinking this was the problem. I was hoping someone could tell me how to bench test the...

Can anyone think of a way to test a complete dash panel/ cluster before installing it to make sure it is not shorted anywhere? I’m specifically talking about a 62-3 dash panel. I have built a new dash cluster for my 62 but every time I try to install it I get a short from something. I have tried...

Agggg, another loose wire. Black wire to the ignition switch had pulled loose…

Got one, I’m trying to make sense of it…

No power to either the black or red wire at the flasher plug…. Also found that my wipers aren't working - and they are connected by the black wire. Black wire from the flasher goes to a junction where a line comes off the the wiper switch and another that goes to the ignition switch. Does the...

You know, I used hand signals coming home the other night but it also occurred to me that I bet very few people on the roads know what they mean anymore. I could just see someone running into me no knowing…

Back to the flashers though - is it normal to have resistance across the thermal flasher and none across the electronic? Any conceivable problems using the electronic one in this car?

Thanks panora, I’ll give it a try. Nothing I hate worse than electrical problems under the dash. I’m too old and fat to get under the dash and it’s a pain to keep taking the seat in and out…

That’s a simple enough test for the flasher. Never thought of that. I’ll try it tomorrow, although I am suspecting one of the other two possibilities…. Any suggestions for testing the switch in place?

Yet another electrical gremlin in my 62 Fury. First time out this year and no turn signals (none at all). Thought for once it might be something simple so i picked up a new flasher… Thought id try an electronic flasher instead of the old thermal. No luck, still no signal lights. Bench checked...

I’ve bought from them several times. No issues

Since I started this question, I’m inclined believe that up to the change to unibody construction in 62 the older mopars had body painted firewalls with blacked out inner fenders and radiator supports. Black cars of course excluded from the generalities. Anyone concur?

Not specifically BBody related but recently ive been looking at a lot of older Mopars and noticed a lot of black engine bays. When did Ma Mopar switch to body color bays? Was it with the unibody change in 62?
