Thanks dvw... it does have spark and wants to start. It does that giddy-up start... almost starts, but not quite, then almost but not quite. Give it a few and it starts. But once it is vapor-locked, it runs REALLY rough under load. If I let it cool down, it runs great... again.
Well, your right about the fuel. Today's ethanol fuels boil out and I did (mistakenly) fill the tank with an ethanol mix. AND yes, I can see it boiling in the clear filter. I burned out the ethanol, well, most of it anyway, and even with premium (non-ethanol) fuel, it still boils.
We are not in...
Hey all,
1966 Charger with a 440 - New Edelbrock 750 AV2 carb. New mechanical fuel pump. - Total rebuild including the transmission.
In the garage, it starts and runs great. On the road, until it heats up, it runs great. Run a mile and stop for a bit and it is obviously vapor-locking. The...
Ok... so the defection bar is a bimetal bar the moves based on the amount of heat. That is regulated by the fuel gauge in the cluster below the alternator gauge. It has an extra deflector with contacts. This gauge drops the voltage to 5v max. That gauge often fails to regulate the voltage after...
Pnora, the FSM i have DOES show the backup switch but does not show the dashed line for the bypass for automatic trans. If you have a scan of that, I would like to see how it is supposed to be annotated.
Hey 66JS... here's what I used. I think i paid something like $30 for it. Even so, it does not take much energy and took some time to perfect a weld. The wire is so hair-thin that the weld sometimes did hold very well. So to ensure it didn't come apart with use, I also put a bit of conductive...
Hey all,
for what it's worth, I used Visio and re-crafted the 1966 Charger wiring diagrams by tracing and redrawing the map... but with color and gauge-by-line-thickness lines. After rebuilding all 3 of my Charger wire harnesses, my backup lights would not work. Troubleshooting, I found a...
BTW... there are no dumb questions here. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, started with a lack of knowledge and experience, and had to grow into their skin. Never be afraid to ask.
Hey all,
So I am still missing something. I missed the part where I should have bypassed the resistor in the install of this distributor. I bypassed the resistor now and things are OK. But I have a follow-on question. The distributor I purchased does not have a vacuum advance. What is the...
Hey all,
It's been a while since I replied to this thread. I wanted to come back to finish the story of this repair. Terry sent me wire... thank you SO much. I got a micro-welder and it worked great. Took a bit of getting a handle on it but I got there. I was able to repair one of the gauges...
