Gerald Mines starts in about 1/2 revolution of the starter. Easiest /6 to start that I've owned (and i have owned many). Idles great when cold but as it warms up the idle is erratic at best. A timing light shows the timing to be right on, no deviation. I have soaked/rebuilt the carb (1945)...

Gerald Mine is a /6 4 speed (O.D.) with single square (retangular) headlights. Once I find a decent carb, it will be much better. The 1945 pollution controlled Holley just doesn't idle well. looking at either a 1920 Holley or a BBS Carter. Omni

Thanks for the thoughts Gerald. As I get older I find that A/C is no longer a 'nicety' but a must have (along with cruise control). The article supplied by Big John was an eye opener. As with EV's it sounds like a great idea, but it is not perfected yet. When I add things like A/C and cruise...

Good Evening Maybe you are not bothered by red warning lights, but they they unnerve/aggravate me. I may have solved the issue by replacing the bulkhead terminal on the dash side. Preliminary tests so far have the light turning off like it is suppose to once the engine starts. Won't know...

Try staring at it for several hours.

Craig, I have a mechanical oil pressure gauge so it wasn't to bad, Just unnerving driving 75+ with a oil light on. The relay I purchased from you did the trick. Replaced that at Carlisle Barracks the same day I purchased it. With GPS I just run the car up to speed, set the cruise and...

Late 70's style. Further investigation shows that the cable is apparently about 3/16 short. Perchance would you know what end of the cable has the stop collar? Still diagnosing the glowing oil light. With the bulk head fitting disconnected, it still glows. I am assuming that the sender...

Good Day All Made another round to Carlisle with the '65 Newport. Had some minor issues along the way, 1) The starter relay died. It would work if you waited about 20 minutes. 2+3) I pulled into a Turnpike rest area to 'walk the dog'. Came out, fired up the Chrysler and the oil light stays on...

Don't you ever sleep?

I'll add more KUDOS for Craig. Top shelf guy. Extremely knowledgeable (he's a walking parts book). I have bought from him in the past for several projects and will continue to do so. You will not be sorry. Omni

Thanks Dave. If he doesn't come through they are yours. The 'Barge' ('65 Newport 4 door sable tan) will be in row B 204. Thanks again. I would hate to just trash them, but the time has come to start 'house cleaning'. Omni

Good Day All and Happy Independence Day Last year we stayed at Carlisle Barracks as it is only a couple of miles from the show. There was a gentleman that was also staying there and we were talking about Mopar magazines. I tole him that I had many years of Collectors Guides and other Mopar...

God Day All Just got back from the 'Band Of Brothers' trip. 1600 miles in about 2 weeks. Anyway, opened my Carlisle stuff and I see that there have been several changes. Gate 5 (Calvary Road ?) is now closed. With traffic being re-routed to Gate 3. That will be a mess. The 'Barge' has been...

Thanks to all for your insight. I was concerned about the increased electrical draw and what upgrades to the electrical system would be needed. The link provided by Big John certainly shed light on the subject. Thanks Big John. The 'test mule' would be a one lung/6 manual trans 87 D150. Seems...

Good Day All Never knew something like this existed. Anyone have experience with one of these set-ups? Looking to install A/C on a Dodge P/U (I know not a C Body, but its big enough) with a /6. Thanks to all who respond. Omni
