    Bulkhead connectors orientation on schematic

    Yup, take a look at the plug and READ THE LETTERS and the schematic will, suddenly, make sense, especially when the wires are so old that you can't distinguish the colors anymore. Ford and GM schematics are the same as well. Hell, even Freightliner, Navistar, Hino, Toyota and on and on use the...

    Ammeter bypass (or whatever you call it)

    I've seen a couple of ammeters fail. They were left in the circuit when the owners replaced their stock alternators with high-output alternators and that 60 amp ammeter blew out just like a fuse.

    Good Source for re-chroming bumpers.

    "The new bumpers are thinner metal, cheap chrome and often wavy and imperfect" I totally agree. That's why I never replaced mine. Never had them re-chromed, either. If I did, I'd lose my 1972 coledge parking stickers ;-(

    4 speed oil

    That's strange because when I opened up my 4 speed in '69 to replace a chipped gear (due to a missing thrust washer on the end of the cluster gear -- factory error) the trans was filled with gear lube, not ATF. I've been running 80-90 lube in there for 56 years and it shifts just fine. It was...

    Random 68 to 70 picture thread

    Ordered this one in January 1968 and took delivery in early February. Still own it. This picture was shot in 2017, BTW.

    AGM Batteries in older cars

    I've had an AGM battery in one of my Magnums for nearly 12 years now and the car starts right up every morning, even in the winter up in New England. It has far outlasted ANY of the lead acid batteries in the rest of my fleet. The best ones only last about 72 months before the starter starts...

    1966 Fender tag decoding

    691 is the code for a dealer executive order. The description says Expedite. Turnaround (in 1968) for this type of order was a 2 week delivery. Normal orders took 4 to 6 weeks at the time. a "6" under the "d" is drum brakes Disc brake cars came with 10 inch rear drums and drum brake cars...

    1966 Fender tag decoding

    No, it was the 8,855th car off the line that year. All Chrysler plants started the yearly numbering system with 100001. Ignore the leading "1" to get the correct number of vehicles each year. .......and special ordered cars usually had option 691Expedite at the bottom of the Monroney label...

    Is there still a National HEMI owners Assn. or a registry?

    Built it in '64. Was painted in Agawam in '72. Had to re-paint it (everything but the ribbons and caricatures) after blowing a tire on the way home from Louisville, KN outside Hershey, PA in 2008 and taking out the right quarter. Ya can't "blend" Kandy Tangerine very easily. It's easier to...

    Is there still a National HEMI owners Assn. or a registry?

    I used to belong years ago but it wasn't a late hemi that qualified me for membership. I had and still drive a hemi powered, channeled, '34 Ford sedan. Met Roland once, talked to him on the phone a couple of times. Also belonged to Northeast Hemi Owners Assn but they were so disorganized I...

    Header Gaskets question(s)

    Me, too but no star washers, just stock setup (but I have cast iron stock manifolds). I cut the tie-bar between the ports, though and I put a thin film of high temp RTV on the surface and give it a chance to set up before starting the engine and blowing the gasket out. I was in a hurry once a...

    Header Gaskets question(s)

    If you can live with the studs (vs. bolts) things are a LOT easier. Using bolts requires draining the coolant because some, if not all, the holes are open ended into the cooling system. I use plumber's thread sealant or aviation gasket cement on the studs when I install them in the head to...

    Map light and dome light wiring 68 B body?

    The harness is original. I never changed it and I bought the car new so I know it's original.

    Map light and dome light wiring 68 B body?

    Perhaps my switch is bad because the map light never worked unless the door was open or the thumbwheel was run to the end of it's travel. With the switch in the opposite position, it never worked/works at all regardless of the door switches or thumbwheel being set. There's only pink and yellow...

    Map light and dome light wiring 68 B body?

    The map light only comes on when one of two actions are taken. 1. you open the door 2. you rotate the thumb switch to activate the dome/courtesy lights. All the map light switch does is DISCONNECT the map light from the courtesy light circuit. Pink is battery-hot fused power and yellow is...
