    68 Newport. Fried ignition wiring harness

    So somehow my ignition wires completely melted and fried. I hope I can just get a new connector with a maybe 6 inches to a foot of wiring and cut out the burnt wires and splice in the connector. Any thoughts? Like 4 of my wires completely overloaded and melted.

    68 Newport alternator not charging

    Losing my mind here. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I had my engine rebuilt, I added a fitech fuel injection, I upgraded the alternator to I think an 80 amp. I have a new battery, i have taken this alternator in previously to be tested. I swapped out the engine wiring harness last...

    Am I doing this right? Searching for battery drain

    Having some bad battery draw. Took my volt meter, disconnected the negative and tested the negative pole on battery against the negative battery terminal and it's showing like 12 volt draw. No wonder my battery is dieing all of a sudden. But wasn't doing this before. I will admit I have a ton of...

    I have a 68 Newport 383. Fresh rebuild, FItech fuel injection. Battery and alternator are a year old. I've had so many problems with this car I don't really know when the problem actually arose. I fix one thing and another breaks. I'm on an endless trajectory now. I've been having to keep...

    Connecting my horn with an aftermarket hub

    I bought a custom steering wheel. It uses their own hub. There's a gap between the horn button and the hub and does not make a connection. I don't have a hub puller in me at the moment but I have the original horn pieces. With the original horn it looks like when you push it in it compresses...

    Wiring a headlight relay

    I tried to tag on to another post but figured I'd just post my own thread. I upgraded my headlights on my 68 Newport. They are very dim. I bought a headlight wiring harness with the new relays. The initial install looks easy and straight forward. I just don't know where to plug it in to the...

    Ready to buy a pertronix, have a couple questions

    I have a 68 Newport 383 4 barrel. I've been reading that the ignitor 1 series can potentially fry out if you leave the ignition in the on position for too long. I've read that may have been on the older models and not necessarily the newer ones. I did a search and tried reading all the...

    Installed new turn signal plate and wiring, stays on but doesn't turn off, should it?

    68 Newport. I installed a new wiring harness and turn signal plate last week. My problem was I had to hold the turn signal on or off, it wouldn't stay on. I ended up breaking the cam even further and had to replace the entire assembly. So now with my new plate it stays on when I turn either...

    No brake lights - could it be cause I broke the turn signal switch?

    I thought my brake lights were working fine before. My turn signals worked fine but the cam was broken on the inside so the turn signal switch wouldn't stay clicked up or down, had to hold it. Well in my infinite wisdom I bought the wrong part and broke the turn switch plate altogether inside...

    68 newport stereo wires, red and orange only

    Just did the ridiculous task of pulling my old stereo out to try and update to a modern stereo. Looking at the fsm and not really getting anywhere. There is only a red and orange wire. Im assuming the strap I unbolted from the back is the ground. I ran out of time to test so thought I'd ask if...
