I know the title doesn’t make sense, but hear me out. We are redoing the entire wiring system on the 68 New Yorker. I’ve completely omitted the original ammeter and had the cluster itself rebuilt with a voltmeter in place that functions, looks and reads like the original. It was a complete...

Here’s what a NY looks like after sitting for a year with no progress The good thing about tackling the wiring now is that the car is completely gutted to the core. I got lucky and have a friend coming by to tackle the job. He’s starting out with the dashboard since that is the easiest...

Well fellas, it’s been a great run these past 4 years now. I never thought that this far into my build I still wouldn’t have driven it yet! After a lot of thought and contemplation I’ve decided I can’t do everything by myself. I’ve now decided to search for helping hands and folks who have...

Began to tear into the factory wiring harness of the 68. Amazingly the rats didn’t chew it up, and the tape loom, although crunchy was still intact. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am - this wire looks BRAND new for its age. Now to replace all the blade connectors and install them...

Oh boy! The part I was dreading the most, I’m now face to face with wiring :confused: Since my old bulkhead connector was absolutely garbage (sabotaged by a really BAD ammeter bypass) I just bought a new one. Starting off with the engine wiring, then I’ll move onto the headlights and...

About a year ago, I had my instrument cluster FULLY restored by Redline Gauge. These guys did an absolutely fantastic job on everything. It definitely wasn't cheap (about $1,200) but to me it was worth it. Especially because my work on this car is a labor of love - not concerned about making...

Welcome one and all to my never-ending shenanigans! Been thinking about it, would like to know what you seasoned vets think is the best way to wire up my 440 for break in. I've got my distributor situation figured out, have a new battery, starter relay and a remote start switch aka the fabled...

We have been steadily making progress on the 2DHT New Yorker, hoping to have it out by May! I think it’s very possible… trunk is now welded in, going to work from the rear forward. Next is to tackle the roof, a lot of rust around the front and rear window… going to cut some pieces of metal and...

Currently stuck trying to remove the rear quarter glass window motor / regulator mechanism. Do I need to loosen any part of the window track in order to make clearance for the window motor? Or any tips you may have? FSM isn’t very helpful for removal of these motors…

Work on the 2DHT New Yorker has been off and on for the last few months and it’s quite unfortunate that it’s just been sitting waiting to be wrenched on once again. Going on 42 years now that this beast hasn’t ran! Had a dream about it running last night… hopefully a sign of what’s soon to come...

Hi all, I'm getting a little ahead of myself as I'm nowhere near the point of installing a custom system into my 68 Chrysler. I would however like to have a good plan for when the time comes! I saw a video on YouTube (I'll attach the link below) of an awesome 1968 Chrysler 300 with a killer...

Good day to you all once again and welcome back to my endless questions . SO... for today's episode, I'd like to address the power seats in my '68 New Yorker. It is a split bench combo, and the driver's seat is the only powered seat. I am 6'2" - and whoever LAST drove my car some 40 years ago...

I've seen a few cool cats put LED strips in their instrument clusters on here and I really love the look! Do the strips also work to light up the radio and HVAC controls? I'm interested in doing this on a 68 Chrysler. Also, how do you go about making a proper connection to power the LEDs...

I’m restoring a 68 New Yorker and I just purchased a C Body engine wiring harness for my 68 but it doesn’t appear to have the portion for headlamps. Is it 2 separate harnesses? If so where could I purchase the headlamp wiring? Mine is shot and chewed through by rats
