    Distributor cap conversion?

    Kinda…I’m no expert, but I believe there’s a HEI conversion for the distributor that uses a larger cap. People on here have done that conversion

    Brake light switch wiring

    Pink is always hot. As mentioned, check the fuse. If worse comes to worse, you can temporarily run a fused hot wire to where the pink wire connects to get your brake lights working

    Firewall connectors

    Dumb question…..don’t the older B-bodies have larger wires & connectors at the firewall? I think Big John over in c-bodies posted about this???

    fuel gauge needle fell off

    Crap! I don’t know, but my first guess would be super glue and align the needle far left when off???

    Throw the BOX!!?

    My 2-cents? I've heard problems with newer orange boxes. The only time I burned up Mopar ignition boxes is when I pinched the main blue hot wire under the corner of the intake manifold (short). Having said that, I've personally run MSD boxes (no ballast resistor) for a long time now with very...

    Need some help guys

    I think he's got power into the ammeter, but no power out of the ammeter

    Need some help guys

    I am no electrical whiz...but I think the answer to your question is "yes". Somebody jump in and correct me if I'm wrong, but I "think" the ammeter still acts as a main power connection, even with the "bulkhead wire/ammeter bypass" wiring modification. Unhook the battery first....then run a...

    The Accel plugs are shorter, but still use the same hex

    70 Road Runner - Plug & Play LED Tail/Stop Lights?

    This has been INCREDIBLY helpful!!! If I'm understanding this all correctly (?) 1. Not all LED 1157's fit. I kind of figured this out when I looked at superbrightleds.com. They all had the same socket, but different sizes. 1" diameter sounds about right. superbright had one 1" dia. LED bulb...

    Headlight Buzzer/Courtesy Light Wiring?

    I'm working on something similar right now. 1970 has a key/headlight buzzer...one buzzer, two functions. I have not seen them reproduced and the NOS ones I've seen on Ebay were about $125 range.

    Adding Electrical Circuits

    OK, I almost understand....if I run a whole fuse block to be hot during start/run off a signal from the + of the ignition coil, I don't need any additional relays for things I have running (fused) off that fuse block, correct? Whoa...it's a long list and I'm trying to add up amp loads... Engine...

    70 Road Runner - Plug & Play LED Tail/Stop Lights?

    1970 Road Runner - I'd like to make my tail lights & brake lights brighter. I've been looking at some 1157 LED bulbs and searched the forums here. I saw a reference about "LED turns signals won't work". So my question....is there a LED 1157 tail/stop light bulb that can be installed in a 1970...

    Adding Electrical Circuits

    That is WAY over my head. I know almost nothing about wiring. I did install some type of "ammeter bypass" a few years ago so power doesn't go through the amp meter (I think that's what I did) and it goes through a really big fuse instead (100A I think?). It is a 1970 plymouth road runner with...

    Adding Electrical Circuits

    Thanks Mike. I've started reading up on relays. I have a follow up question.. So, if I power one fuse block through a relay, & I get that relay signal from the + of the ignition coil (relay signal when in run or start).....and I want to power my 2 Holley blue fuel pumps (3A draw each) through...

    Adding Electrical Circuits

    I don't know much about electrical stuff. I've added a ton of additional electrical equipment (2 electric fuel pumps, nitrous, bottle heater, purge valve, gauges, line lock, etc). Just about everything is wired "+ of battery to fuse to switch to electrical part to ground" and the wiring looks...

    77 Cordoba Smoke from steering column turn signal when turning right

    These guys are correct. You have a short memory n your steering column wiring. There are two harnesses that run down the column from the key/turn signal switch & end up by your feet at the bottom of the column. Wires often melt right at the connectors by your feet, but can melt anywhere. If not...

    440 misfire gremlin.

    the plug on the right looks oil fouled, so maybe a bad valve seal on that one cylinder? Maybe try one of those anti-foul things that screws over the electrode tip
