U are correct, connecting a 30 ohms resistor to emulate the sending unit is a great test indicating everything from the tank forward except the sending unit is functioning correctly.. Just my $0.02... :thumbsup:

User advised the rheostat sweeps from 9 Ohms to 72 Ohms, so the rheostat itself is fine and working, not open.. I would suggest that he check the grounds and end connections of the rheostat/sending unit.. Just my $0.02.. :thumbsup:

Another point about upgrading your headlights.. Be sure to double-check the depth of the chosen headlight... Some are quite deep and then this now requires some metal work on the mounting bucket... Just my $0.02... :thumbsup:

Yup... They are pricey but shop around I found a stocking distributor who was open to negotiation... Sold to me discounted, and no sales tax and shipping... Just my $0.02.. :thumbsup:

EZ to calculate... My Holley retrobrights draw 1.5 amps in low beam and 2.2 amps in high beam, and in my configuration running in quad mode equals 6 amps in low beam and 9 amps in high beam. A standard H4 halogen headlight bulb typically draws about 4.5 to 5.2 amps, equates to 18-21 amps in...

My experience with the OE incadescents and aftemarket halogens is that they have a high intensity centerlized, illuminated image. One point I particularly like about the Holley retrobrights is their illumination pattern, it is a broader, well dispersed but not overpowering image. Plus it is a...

Thanks Bob.. :rolleyes: My personal experience of 17 Inches of torque is too low.. The torque spec goes far beyond valve stem length. Tire valve stems can be made from multiple materials such as synthetic rubber for standard passeenger vehicles, motorcycles and even upgrading to brass for more...

Be advised the wiper motor resistor is not just a plain fixed value power resistor.. It uses nichrome wire internally that increases resistance as it heats up as to protect the wiper motor from overcurrent. Just my $0.02... :thumbsup:

BOB.. I must have missed it.. :rolleyes: But what are the torque specs on the valve stem caps? Thanx. Just my $0.02.. :thumbsup:

Double check ur bulkhead connectors... These tend to get oxidized making poor connections. Pull apart, burnish the contacts, slightly crimp tighter the female connector, coat with dia-lectric grease and reassemble.. Just my $0.02... :thumbsup:

NO wiring change required.. As the alternator only outputs whatever current is required... Also now @idle the alternator current output will be higher so less or no light dimming @idle.. Just my $0.02... :thumbsup:

This may help clarify some steering column wiring issues.. Just my $0.02... :thumbsup:

There are (3) similar bulbs that all can work, but I would recommend which one is chosen make sure all of the bulbs are the same #. 1. 158 is a 3.36 watt lamp 2. 168 is a 4.9 watt lamp 3. 194 is a 3.8 watt lamp In closing the 168 would be slightly brighter. Just my $0.02... :thumbsup:

The 194 bulbs are available everywhere even Amazon...

Steer & Gear.. Just my $0.02.. :thumbsup:

Thanx for your comments. But to gain 1-2 HP with just regapping the spark plugs seems meaninless to me... Note the dyno tests themselves have certain tolerances greater than 1 or 2 HP, due to temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and fuel octanes. Note when Chrysler published the HP...

If: 1. The ignition system is working well, not marginal 2. There are no misfires Does changing spark plugs still increase horsepower? Just my $0.02... :thumbsup:

The majority of the posts for this thread has been about talking about different brands and various models... But to me the most crucial task is to remove the spark plugs and reading them to analyze about their condition. Reading the spark plugs can provide incredible insights about an engine's...

To add to Bobs comments.. :rolleyes: Early RF radio transmitters were of a spark gap design.. And during the 50s the US government strongly recommended to the major auto brands to go to graphite-based ignition spark-plug wires as to decrease RF interference for AM band radios. I recall back...

Since I posted about using the tradiional spark plugs(J-10Y & 85s) in my max wedge, I have received multiple messages for guys insisting their engines put out more horsepower using the later spark plugs.. Note that I do agree that the newer spark plug designs can improve reliability and...
