    Daytime running lights.

    I don't remember seeing DRLs until the late 90's/early 00's. One thing they do- make it easier for LIDAR to clock you.

    Repro radios

    Jeeps have standard punch outs, though, don't they?

    Repro radios

    Yeah, I ain't payin' even the $750 sale price. What I did do for my 70 Bee (with the same dash), is make a substitute plate with "standard" holes for a generic aftermarket radio. I used a veneered desk drawer divider that was pretty dang close to the factory woodgrain dash.

    Boxing in rear deck speakers ?

    Let's talk about $10,000 speaker wire. Because you really can hear a difference between that and lamp cord. ...or so some people say.

    Boxing in rear deck speakers ?

    Look at the speaker specs and it will mention a cabinet size, or say "infinite baffle".

    Boxing in rear deck speakers ?

    ...but nevertheless a true statement, just without the industry specific terminology.

    Boxing in rear deck speakers ?

    Speaker specs should show ideal cabinet volume. Although... Lots of speakers designed for cars are designed to use the trunk volume as an enclosure, no matter the size. A decent somewhat high wattage 6x9 probably needs a box about double the size of the "standard" 6x9 boxes you see that are...

    Recommend me a locksmith to redo my locks?

    Glove box uses wafers. Not nearly as easy to find or work on as the pins in the other locks. You can swap them around in order to get a few to work, but you have to un-peen a bunch of fiddly things to get at them and then hope there's enough left to re-peen them back together.

    Recommend me a locksmith to redo my locks?

    You can do it yourself. Search FBBO. You can 85% make any trunk key work in your trunk lock. ...or you can figure the pinout and make a correct key (also for glove box). Vintage Mopar locks other than ignition are relatively easy to work on. You may need extra pins, though. I have never...

    Lightweight car batteries

    Yeah, even the one in my lawn mower, despite being 20 CCA rated or more lower and considerably smaller...spins faster.

    Lightweight car batteries

    Trying to find CCA equivalents on Lithium batteries is kind of hit and miss. Even using Amp Hours sometimes you have to calculate from Watt Hours.

    Lightweight car batteries

    Just bought a Lifepo4 batt for my Sportster. The AGM battery that was in it is literally 3 years old this past summer when it started not holding a charge. Not too happy about that. The lithium batt was $113 vs between $59 and $89 depending on the brand for a traditional or replacement AGM...

    Rejuvenating old batteries

    Let me see if I got this..... A used car dealer routinely "reconditioned" batteries using methods that have been known to last "a few months, tops"?? Can't say I'm the least bit surprised.

    1974 Charger Horn

    That's odd- even on SE. I wonder if there's' a common option group that included a dual note horn. The single horn on mine was a kind of low blat. Adding the second, high note horn made it MUCH more noticeable.

    1974 Road Runner Tail Light Removal

    Yes, pull the wheel.

    1974 Road Runner Tail Light Removal

    I agree, I think we're at checking or at least inspecting the turn signal switch.

    1974 Road Runner Tail Light Removal

    Is the bulb oriented correctly in the socket? Is it the proper bulb? Are you sure both filaments are good? Does the same thing happen when you put the bulb from the side that works, in the socket on the side that currently doesn't work? Do you get 12v on the wire on the side that currently...

    Lithium battery

    Season 2 of my mower with the slightly underpowered lithium batt. Started right up after being dormant for several months. Didn't even sound slow like the lead battery usually did on first start of the season.

    Mopar electronic ignition ECMs: Which to consider and what to avoid!

    The first thing that comes to mind- is that actually grounded good? Looks like a lot of bracketry, and the ground is on top of the paint. I was never able to afford the DC/MP kit, so all my conversions were done with junkyard parts and home splicing. Most every ECU failure I've had was preceded...
