    Made in Japan

    Should I believe this chrome coil is really "high performance"? I get the feeling it may just be high performance chrome. On the bottom is inscribed "Japan". You never know what you're getting when you purchase a "complete" 340--oil pan to air cleaner these days. It's no larger than a stock coil...

    How Much Total (centrifugal) Timing for Stock 318 Build?

    My 273 bracket racer was set up for 35 degrees BTDC total timing (I think that was recommended back in the 1970's for a Mopar small block. Now with a basically stock 318, I would like to ask what total timing some of you out there in the real world are running in stock built 318's? Thank you...

    Am I the Only One (that changes spark plug gaskets)

    I used to run one set of spark plugs cruising Main St. and another set at the drag strip. During the switch, I would install new spark plug gaskets which made it easier to guess the proper torque while tightening while feeling the gasket compress a little bit. Did not hurt sealing either. This...

    Funny Battery

    I have a 48 month maintenance-free auto battery that reads 13.0 volts in the evening and then 10.6 volts in the morning. So I ran the engine for 15 minutes while reading a 14.3 volt charge and then shut off the motor. The battery was back to reading 13.0 volts. I disconnected the negative cable...

    Charging Fine Except Nothing at Idle Speed

    This is a '72 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus 318/auto. I have used 3 voltage regulators, the one that came on the car when I purchased it and two aftermarket units. The same thing with any regulator: no charge at idle speed but charges like a champ at any speed above idle. This change is...

    Do Red Lenses Turn Kind of Black as Years Go By?

    I think I already mentioned this in a previous thread listed under '71-'74 BBodies, but it is still bugging me so now posting to electrical thread. My passenger side tail light lens is only about half as bright as the driver's side. In the photos, it does not show up very well but in person it...

    Occasional no start mystery

    Once in awhile, first thing in the morning, my original '72 318 SSP won't start. The starter spins just fine, but no ignition. I know it has fuel because I first operate the carb accelerator pump by hand to squirt a couple of shots of gasoline into the intake manifold and I can feel/hear the gas...

    Do any B Body models have a turn signal "sound off" feature?

    I know the fender mounted turn signals help one to remember to cancel the turn signals, but an audible "clickety-click" is also a good feature. Do any of our B Bodies (or A Bodies for that matter) use an audible turn signal warning? The reason I ask, just replaced the combination switch on a...

    How to research an AM radio?

    I have a Chrysler AM radio that someone gave me and a have a few questions: 1) How is it grounded, by the mounting stud on the back or the wiring? 2) Is the screw showing on the outside of the case near the antenna an antenna trimmer/adjuster? 3) Is there any reference source available to look...

    How to replace tail light sockets?

    Can't seem to get the tail light sockets in project 72 SSP to accept the bulbs. Purchased some new sockets at auto parts store. How does one swap in the new ones? Any advice or tricks? Could not find a thread discussing this after a search. Thank you.

    Identification of underhood ground wires for 1972 small block B Body?

    Bought a '72 SSP in pieces and trying to sort out the underhood wiring harness and don't want to ground any live wires. Would like to ask how many ground wires there are and where they attach, beginning with the negative battery cable, to an intake manifold bolt or elsewhere? And what other...
