Its probably the reason why I have to run at least 92. Oh well, I don't know any honest rebuilders so I'll just drive it until it stops. I've been screwed too many times for large preventative maintenance I can't do. (like when a trans shop charged me $1000 to replace the bearings in my rear...

I just read that running a hotter plug will increase the chances of detonating, so I guess I'll just try the oil fouler with a new plug (same heat range as what I got in there).

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to try the XR5's in an oil fouler and see if it helps. I never had luck finding anyone honest to fix my cars. I always got screwed out of thousands, so I just try to fix them myself and run them until they blow up. For 20yrs, I've changed the oil every...

I have 1 cylinder in my 1970 440 that carbon fouls, almost positive its a valve issue. All other plugs still look great. (Bosch Platinums). Engine has 154,000 miles and car was abused before I bought it 20yrs ago. Per pic, I know I waited too long to check spark plugs. Carbon fouling to...

Just for Devinism

I'm just not good at rebuilding electrical. 90% of time, I destroy it or it just doesn't work. So I'm leaning towards spending the $200 for a new one or maybe Devinism to rebuild depending on price. Anyone know where I can get a new or professionally rebuilt 4 gang window switch for under...

I didn't know these have wire inside. Since only driver side switch isn't working, I'm going to try to rebuild it myself. Do these springs fly off never to be seen again when disassembling?

Switch for 1970 300 drivers side window broke years ago and steadily became worse and worse. It feels flimsy. Like a spring broke. Window still goes down but I have to play with it about 20 times until I find the connection point. Anyhow, the other 3 work fine. Years ago, I soldered the...

Thanks guys! The Ford solenoid is connected to the positive terminal on the Chrysler starter. From what you guys said, this maybe the reason for this weird problem? (see pic). I went thru 3 mopar starters in 5yrs. Had it with not starting when hot, so I put a Ford solenoid on the fender...

I'll place a video if needed but I'm lazy. 10yrs ago, I put a new starter, new wiring with Ford solenoid, then changed starter again 6yrs ago but no change. I put about 500 miles a year on it. Always starts great when cold. When its warmed up, usually starts fast with no wierd noise. But a...

Thanks 3175375. I have a manual and I've looked at it, but I'm too lazy and stupid to understand it. This car spent 10 yrs sitting outside in a field where it rotted the cowl and water got into the wiriing so is it correct to think that the wires are so bad that they are pulling more amps and...

Does the A/C 20 amp fuse only handle turning on the A/C and not the blower motor? If so, where is the 20 amps going to? So bought car from junkyard 20 yrs ago. Wires looked like spaghetti under the dash with some burnt when I got it. Cleaned up and fixed many connections over the years. Heater...

Been using Pertronix for 10 yrs with great success, however I had problems at first. 1) I had to play around with coils to see which one was best. 1st coil burned up on highway and while trying to stall, it blew the mufflers off with huge backfires. Then I tried a Pertronix coil matched to...
