    No power to start - what to look at next???

    Starting issue, 68 newport 383

    I wouldn't date a woman who was a model who enjoyed drowning puppies in a river. Don't focus so much on the shiny stuff, instead worry about the stuff people can't see; that's usually more important. Get the insides right, then make it pretty.

    Starting issue, 68 newport 383

    I'm also thinking a bad ground at the Voltage regulator could keep it from charging, but I'm far from an expert.

    Starting issue, 68 newport 383

    If you're getting good voltage at the stud on the back, check the other end of the wire. Could be your culprit.

    Starting issue, 68 newport 383

    Definitely check over all the main wires first, make sure everything has a clean and solid ground. If you already had an issue with a non-charging alternator, and it's doing it again, I would absolutely suspect the wiring from the alt.

    Starting issue, 68 newport 383

    Could this be related to your recent headlight relay installation? Did you replace the battery cables?

    Dissected ac/heater control unit

    In my searches, I found the following part numbers: 587564, 2820487, 3895033, 2571501, 2096084, 3431020, 3502126, and 3895790 are all interchangeable for the same part. That's how I scored mine so cheap, it was the same part as a Van.

    Dissected ac/heater control unit

    I did the same to my switch on my 68 Newport. $40+ for a new HVAC switch was hard to swallow, but I'm much happier now.

    Pertronix trouble shooting

    I had started to think you changed your name.

    Pertronix trouble shooting

    Because you gave him solid advice on not being a douche. Then he ignored it and did exactly that. Then he complained about people ignoring advice.

    Oh, the irony.

    Pertronix trouble shooting

    I feel your pain. When I joined here after buying my 68 Newport (3832bbl/727) I knew NOTHING about these cars... Now I'm at the point where I can time it and tune the carb in a matter of 10 minutes. When you have time, and you're not wrenching on the car, read through as many forum threads as...

    Flickering Dash and Headlights '66 300

    Oh joy. Well, I need to get back there to replace the bulbs in my gauge cluster anyway, as well as to get my dash pad off, so I'll just bump that whole thing farther down the list of priorities.

    Flickering Dash and Headlights '66 300

    My dimmer was pretty wonky at first, but I gave it a couple rounds of the old "back and forth" and it works great now. It's just the flickering of the actual headlights, they will actually go completely off, but if I lightly touch the switch, they come back on. Once I finish the trunk, I plan...

    Flickering Dash and Headlights '66 300

    I'm considering doing this upgrade myself. My lights have started flickering again. I am going to replace the hi beam stomper, and if I can find the actual dimmer and headlight toggle somewhere without breaking the bank, then I can start driving at night.

    Flickering Dash and Headlights '66 300

    ...or the switch itself has dirty contacts? Work it on and off and see if that helps at all. Purely anecdotal, but that was the issue with my car.
