    Replacement 1970-only Cuda Fuel Cap 1-1/2" Are they crazy?

    I had to go and check it. It is a 1 3/8". I did this a long time ago. Mid 70's. One of the first things I did is change the gas cap to a Flip up gas cap. This is the original cap. Just had to correct myself. I stand corrected.

    Oil and Temp gauges

    The volage regulator for the gauges regulates the voltage to 5v. 12v just fries them.

    Alternator overcharging

    The voltage looks to be about 1 volt high. But that could depend on the battery's state of charge ( That I would check) or the demands of the other components. It still should come back down when the battery is fully charged. 14.4 to 14.7. Check the field wires from regulator to the...

    Alternator overcharging

    This is where the factory ground is for the chassis. The battery negative and the headlight ground is there. Then there is the negative battery cable on the motor. Then the alternator mounting hardware is the ground for the alternator. The body is the ground for all others. It wouldn't...

    Alternator overcharging

    The steering column connector. At a minimum replace the Acc black and Batt feed red connector with Anderson connectors. The rest should be ok, not that high of a load. 72RoadRunnerGTX has showed this fix before. Replacing all connections.

    Alternator overcharging

    At this point, it is better than is was. The bulkhead connectors are the problem as any of those connections. for now keep them clean and tight. Maybe later reroute bypassing bulkhead connectors. You are now feeding all loads through the both battery and alt wire feed off of one fusible link...

    Try lacquer thinner. Dampen a rag and keep it damp. Give it some time and rub. Don't soak it.

    74 Challenger Door Window Glass

    This might help. Not sure what plate you talking about. Picture? Parallelism and Primary Seal (1) Raise window completely. (2) Loosen screw at belt on upper end of front track. (3) Align and set front edge of glass to “A” pillar and top edge to roof rail weatherstrip creating a parallelism with...

    LED conversion of brake and turn signal bulbs

    Pull the fuse see if turns off. Unplug this connector under the steering column. If the fan stays on, you have a short in the dash wiring harness. If not it's the ign sw. The blower motor is feed from acc side of fuse box. It's a misnomer showing battery. Not directly connected to battery...

    LED conversion of brake and turn signal bulbs

    In shot you have a short. Bad ign sw or melted wire from battery to amp gauge feeding the acc side of sw. Or the wiring was altered at sometime.
