    LED headlight upgrade, why the need for new wiring and relays???

    I've just installed LED headlamps in my 1970 Chrysler 300 and have issues with the headlamp doors as well. Things worked fine when I plugged the old hi/low bulb back in on the drivers side and all the rest were LED. Can you supply details as to the resistor I need and where it should be placed...

    440 timing and pinging

    Thanks for all the input. The pinging was less at night and cool days as expected, but still there under load. The engine temp stays a bit under 180 but there is no nice way to get cool air under that flat hood and still maintain a somewhat stock appearance. The car is a cruiser wih the...

    440 timing and pinging

    Hi, I just joined and I hope its OK to pose a question on a C-Body, a 1970 Chrysler 300 convertible with 440 TNT (Magnum) and added 6-Pack. The question at this point is regarding timing. The car always pinged somewhat but its getting quite bad, even a low loads and RPM. I disconnected the...
