    Ammeter bypass (or whatever you call it)

    All the current from the alternator passes through the contacts at the bulkhead connector. As the brass wire terminals in the connector age/corrode/become loose from vibration, they become more resistant to electricity flow and that causes heat. With enough heat the connector can melt/fires can...

    '65 Belvedere tail panel trim, is it anodized?

    I purchased a gallon of anodize remover online but, many have said Easy Off oven cleaner will do the job. It did take me more than one application to get the anodizing completely off. This can be tested as you proceed by sanding, looking for the bare aluminum "gray" slurry that indicates...

    '65 Belvedere tail panel trim, is it anodized?

    All the aluminum trim is anodized. If you want to polish it just remove the anodize. I used Ever Brite after polishing mine to prevent corrosion. Mike

    your opinion on Sealed power bearings?

    I used Diamond Power brand from E-Bay. Very cheap but, professionally packaged, looked and spec'd good. Made in India but, they do build 100s of thousands of cars there. I couldn't find any other rod bearings for my 2008 3.8 V-6 so I ordered a set and have 3-4 thousand miles on so far (it's my...

    Tach no workee.

    I recently had to replace my never used new Autometer Ultralite tachometer. Just started the car-no tach? What am I missing? I checked all continuities, The fuel pump speed control, tach, and Fast 2.0 all are tied to the MSD tach output. Only the tach does not work. Any guidance fellas. Mike

    Rebuilding carburetors at home

    Oh ya, they took out the acid (probably replaced it with water). That's why it takes 24 instead of 1/2 hours to soak! I rinse them in my solvent tank and brush the pieces as I rinse. Mike

    Rebuilding carburetors at home

    I bought a pail about 5 years ago ($125.00) and decided with the low volume of carb rebuilds I was doing now days, I had to add a chemical surcharge to my billing. Mike

    1966 B body steering column question

    If I recall correctly, the 66 column is very similar to the 65, even using the same TS switch. 67 year began the collapsible style column. Mike

    Pulley Alignment

    This amount of misalignment may not bother operation if you are not driving aggressively. Belt drives can work with small misalignment, not ideal but, it will depend on RPM. Mike

    Change power steering fluid

    You may be able to unhook the return hose at the pump and direct the flow into a waste oil container and plug the tube on the pump. Start the motor and add new fluid while a second person rotates the steering wheel back and forth. Mike

    power steering pump winning

    Are you using the OEM 2004 PS pump? If so, it may be outputting too much pressure for the 1970 steering gear. Just my quick thoughts. Mike

    Coolant Leak at Block Head Junction

    Not really. Chrysler used the same style gaskets through out the B engine production. Did your machinist finish for the steel gaskets or composition type gaskets? Mike
