my ‘08 Uplander has been one of the most reliable cars I’ve ever owned. The 3.9l pushrod V6 is bulletproof. I’ve changed out axle hubs, CV axles, a fuel pump, several sets of tires, rotors and pads 3 or 4 times, sliding door bearings, spark plugs and wires, door lock actuators, yet because I’ve...

As an aside, I was changing out the front hub/bearing assemblys on my mid-aughts GM FWD minivan, and I asked a "professional" mechanic friend of mine if I should do things like replace the lower ball joints, tie rod ends, etc., while I had it all apart. He replied, if those OEM parts are still...

Yes. I checked FSM, and .006" is correct. I measured with feelers and I came up with .016" of side play. Trash, in other words. I don't think I want to rebuild this distributor, as who knows what else might be lurking below . . . I'll check with @halifaxhops and see what he can do for a...

I’ll check the specs in the FSM but this is the Rick E distributor I bought two years ago. It only has about 2000 miles on it.

Please see video below. I don’t know what the specs are but it seems like this is probably too much play and I will just end up destroying another reluctor wheel and pick up if I don’t replace the bushing. Let me know please, thanks.

I'm using the kit from Rick's Mopars. Check out details here:

On my 66, it would start sometimes, and not other times. Replacing it with new solved the problem.

Did you look at the photos on post 43 of this link? Those are the only photos I took. '66 Newport 2 Door hardtop

After carefully reading and reflecting upon @72RoadRunnerGTX and others input, my plan for next summer is to relocate the wiring and relays for my headlights over to the alternator side, since they currently sit on the battery side. I haven't had any problems yet, but I do understand that...

Headlight relay add/update?

I've had it on for a year now and not a single problem . . . .

Can you remove and clean the rheostat with electronics cleaner?

1966 Newport with variable speed wipers: I know it's foolish to expect modern day performance from 57 year wiper technology, but is there something I can do to speed up my slow wipers? I'm thinking something along the lines of taking the linkages apart and lubing them, new bushings or...

Broken nylon clip?? Do you have a bore scope camera?

I’ve had good luck so far with my Mopar Performance “clone” kit made by Richard E., sold on eBay as the HiRev 7500 kit. One year so far and not a single problem. Hard to beat $200 out the door and everything included. Some people don’t like them though, so look at your choices and decide...

The video from Dead Dodge Garage is very helpful in understanding how the whole setup works, even if it is slightly different from the C body setup.

I pulled my sending unit and manually moved the arm around to see how it registers. Upon startup my fuel gauge briefly goes to the “true” level and then sinks to about half of that value. Every so often it doesn’t work at all. I think the gauges are just not real reliable.

You should be getting a 5v pulse every few seconds to your sending unit.

I went with a Standard "Blue Streak" coil for my "blue" electronic ignition box. Been working great!

Your welcome. It's pretty simple if you do it the way I did mine. About 7' of 10ga. wire running from the back of your alternator over to your starter relay, plus the fusible link. A couple of butt connectors and you're good to go. The headlight relay is also super easy if you buy the kit...
