    Dim turn signal on left side.

    This just popped up, everything on the right side is fine. The left side blinks at the same frequency as the right side, but every bulb barely lights from dash, fender, front and rear. Ground issue somewhere?

    Who has auto pilot, do you like it?

    I have always been interested in the auto pilot. I have a 66 300. How well did they functioned back then, I hate a cruise control that pulsates? I am also interested if they are serviceable, and if they are, can they be bench tested. Thanks

    Circuit Breaker for 1966 power seat

    I posted my plans to install a power seat. Now I need to figure out the wiring. It mentions in the service manual that it goes through a 30 amp circuit breaker behind the left cowl. I can't find any exact reference to the power seat going to any circuit breaker in the larger schematics. I...

    Anything else kill a 5 year old battery?

    Took Goldie out for breakfast and wouldn't start after words. I got a jump and drove her home. I thought the alternator was dead and I was running on just the battery. My alternator gauge seemed OK, except reading more to the left than normal. It would read slightly to the right of center at...

    I have back-up lights for the first time

    I never had backup lights, I don't drive a lot at night but I realized it also let's people know that you're backing up, so it's a good safety measure too. I may not be totally done because the sockets are rusty and I didn't replace them. I was going to take a Dremel tool to them later to try...

    Electronic choke thermostat?

    I am tired of the hard cold starts on my 66 300 with a carter AFB. Basically the factory choke thermostat has never worked. I can't seem to find an electronic replacement. I really don't want to pay $150-200 for another factory choke thermostat. Anyone find something that works for them?

    Goldie won't start

    I seem to be having one of those summer. A little back history. I noticed last week I started getting a pinging when accelerating, so I planned on checking the timing this weekend. I didn't make it. It started acting like it was really out of time, barely moving under it's own power. I...

    I can now charge the cell phone.

    The cigarette lighter was dead, and I found it had a bad ground. Once that was resolved I realized the tabs inside were rusty and broke off. Lucky we share the same cigarette lighter with the Mopar "muscle" so they make a replacement. Nothing much but it is nice to check things off the list...
