Perhaps I can teach you something.....if you're willing to...

    wiper ballast

    Your phrase: "but I am electrically challenged"........is an excuse....the fix....learn...the fundamentals of electricity such as Ohm's Law...which defines the relationship between voltage (E), current (I) and resistance (R). Yes...resistors have different values depending on application and...

    Curious about the zinc in break in oils......

    OK....."they" state that it has ZDDP levels that exceed the limits for SM oil......BUT .....WHAT are the ZDDP levels that are exceeded??? Define the limits...without any numbers, how can comparisons be made?? It's like saying how high is up?? Without numbers the information is...

    Curious about the zinc in break in oils......

    Zinc bearing oils, AKA Zinc Dialkyl Dithio Phosphate, the zinc and Phosphates are in molecular form and are not filtered out as the oil passes thru the filter media. Depending on brand of filter used, the MICRON filter material can vary an a micron = One micron in decimal form is 0.001...

    Ready to run dizzy, two wire

    You were correct....it was time to take out the trash.....all of which included your profundities and platitudes about obscure references to ignition system operation listed in unknown publications and references. The very least you should do is give credit to the author of the source you...

    Are A833 gears synchronized?

    The usual way to modify a 4 speed transmission was to grind every other tooth off of the gears's brass synchro ring on the main shaft gear (2-3-4) and grind a steep bevel angle on the brass sliding sleeve on the corresponding main shaft coupling to allow the operator to shift without using the...

    Are A833 gears synchronized?

    The gears, both on the main shaft AND their corresponding gears on the counter shaft (with the exception of the reverse idler gear) are in constant mesh. It's the synchro rings and sliding sleeve that couple the appropriate synchros to the gear selected take the abuse The grinding noise one...

    Ready to run dizzy, two wire

    She called and said: keep providing a critique aimed at those "self proclaimed experts" that have no clue as to how an ignition system is supposed to operate....both fundamentally and actually....using correct names for these components....... BOB RENTON

    carb spacer

    FYI....by adding volume to the intake manifold below the carb, will REDUCE the mixture VELOCITY by creating a pressure drop as the mixture expands.....and a slower mixture velocity can lead to uneven or non uniform cylinder filling. The idea is to keep the velocity high from the carb to the...

    Ready to run dizzy, two wire

    But with a magneto, NO external wires or COIL is required or needed....the magneto is self contained...no external power is required .....the dwell and high voltage windings are all done internally.......no muss no fuss....be the first to show your buddies how simple and ignition system can...

    Powermaster 165A on 1971 charger with AC?

    Question....are you planning on doing some arc welding with the 165 amp alternator? Definitely over kill for a 383 car with A/C...factory was only 46 amps. You do not need to accommodate all electrical loads only 50% of total with the diversity factor added in....it's ok for some of the power...

    Alternator bracket 440 A/C

    The BEST thing for you to do is use the information provided by 72roadrunnerGTX, for this gentleman has explained how the system operates, with examples. If you, personally, have any comments or questions of the application of electrical engineering and system calculations including of how...

    Replaced the alternator and voltage regulator in my 66 Dodge Charger and it’s still not charging. What else could be the problem.

    Its highly likely that you were sold a newer "rebuilt" square back unit....that would require one (of the two field brushes to be grounded) especially if you only have one field wire connection to the original alternator....a green wire. (If it's a dual field and one field is not grounded, it...

    Water pump question

    WHY.....the replacement pump (8 vanes) will be just fine, as no one has x-ray vision to know whether you have a 6 or 8 vane pump.....besides the 8 vane pump will move more coolant, in both velocity and gallons/minute for best teat exchange......but if you want superior coolant circulation, a...

    Stripped Holley carb fuel inlet

    You must have misunderstood my reference.....the accelerator pump holes for the elastomer inlet valve and outlet passage are NOT drilled.....you do not need a pump gasket or housing mounting screws.....NOTHING IS NEEDED, except for the float, float inlet needle, float adjustment nut...

    Which power steering fluid to use?

    How about considering an API IsoVis # 46 HYDRAULIC OIL....alternate IsoVis #32 or Iso Vis #68 it's designed to use on vane pumps or slipper shoe pumps. It's blended with anti foam, anti wear additives plus it can operate at 200 degrees oil temp at 1500 psi...... BOB RENTON
