    Plug cleaning

    Unless you are talking two stroke plugs for a bike! Those are not all "Cheap". Many plugs are cleanable for the most part. Very seldom do they "wear out" in daily driver situations.

    Alternator Bypass

    I believe once you do the bypass, the main current will take the easiest path to the battery....not sending all the juice through the ammeter. But you can still remove it from the system.

    your opinion please - just received my restored headlight motor

    The restorer should have clarified to the client that the end result would be rebuilt and fully functional but ugly. If indeed it has been rebuilt.

    Dissection and Study of a Mopar Ammeter

    Here is one of mine that surely would have failed horribly.

    Map light body is energized...

    ^^^^1004 bulbs is what my 66 has and the ground wire was pinched so continuous ground kept the lights on. I ordered LEDS today! Hopefully they work.

    Map light body is energized...

    I just traced a short in my interior lights to a wire I pinched during assembly. They were powered up constantly. Found the short at the sail panel trim on my 66 Coronet. Pinched inside with the speed nut!

    What is this ?

    It is not necessary!

    Starts in all gears

    I will look at mine tomorrow. I'm sure that's how it works. Like I said, my car never had the newer trans and so I think when I installed it, I was lead to use the 3 wire switch for lights.

    Starts in all gears

    Ah, I think the other two wires are reverse lights. So your brown should be it. It's been a while, but I'm looking at a schematic right now.

    Starts in all gears

    I am not sure. I would have to look at my car tomorrow (1966 Coronet). I had to wire mine in as I installed a console with a newer trans. You are on the right path. The switch is likely toast. It should have 3 wires on it. There was a 1 wire switch, but I think it was 67 and back or so.

    Starts in all gears

    I'm going to guess that somebody fabricated that in there as the switch might have failed. Disconnect and see if it starts. It shouldn't. Then hook it up and disconnect the black from ground. If it starts properly, the black was redundant. If it doesn't start, the switch is toast. That's my guess.

    Running great! Then......no start?

    I don't think my 69 has a neutral safety switch on it.

    Mystery wire

    Are you sure that spade isn't actually ripped off the other side of whatever it attaches to? It sure has a square shape to it and I haven't seen anything "bolt" on that is that small. Doesn't the wiper switch have a multi plug and a single or two?

    '70 steering column harness question

    If he cut that close, can you just get the new "clips" and then reinstall them in the plug? With enough patience and effort, you can remove the originals. But it is a pain. Oh, and enjoy Bullwinkle!

    Bullet connectors - correct size

    On my fuse box, the lights / inst cluster are at the very end of the row. I hooked my gauge lights into the back of the fuse box. It controls the circuit and dims them with the controller. There are male spade connectors there on various fuses for auxiliary power. Not sure what years or if yours...

    installing new dash harness in 70 RR

    Is this a car that is in project stage? If so is the windshield out? The reason I ask is if you take the whole frame out and assemble it complete with wiring, cluster and all, it saves a pile of "on your back in terrible contortionist position" time. Then it slides right in complete easy as can be.

    Ammeter heating up.........

    Thanx Kenton. That is what I was thinking of doing. I've read the whole charging system is running through that gauge. Silly.

    Ammeter heating up.........

    There was a piece of the original material both inside and outside of the cluster insulating the posts from it / ground.
