    Starter run on ‘68 Polara

    I went to start my car this evening and as soon as I started it, the starter stayed engaged. As soon as I turn power of it continues to crank. As soon as I disconnect the battery the starter stops and the starter disengages. If I re-connect the battery, everything is back to normal. Hit the...

    I think it’s the Ballast resistor?

    ‘68 Polara 383 2bbl. I started down the road to a car show about 60 miles away. I got about 10 miles away from home and I felt a little stumbling. I Stopped to check it out. It was idling smoothly, rev it up, still smooth. It seemed one of the wires on the ballast resistor was loose so I pushed...

    Chrysler Starter disassembly and refresh.

    I figured that since I had my starter out for a refresh I would post some reference for others if they wish to try it themselves. First full disclosure, I am not a professional, but I did take a couple of Automotive electrical classes back in my college days. When I rebuilt my engine 12 years...

    Fuel Sender calibration using Meter Match

    I decided to start a new thread going through my fuel sender calibration instead of cluttering up the fuel sender rebuild thread. Fuel Sender Rebuild It started with my repro sender would never get quite to full. 3/4 was about max. When I was browsing I stumbled onto the thread above and...

    Original Battery Size (Group 24 &27) and cap color Green, Yellow or Red?

    I did some searching and am only finding tidbits of information on battery size and cap color. I am specifically interested in 1968, but would be nice to understand mid 60's through mid 70's. The one think I know for sure is that group 27 batteries had red caps between 65 - 68, and group 24...

    Don’t wanna, but need to pull IP to modify regulator

    Now that I am running after 12 years I already need to pull my Instrument Panel on my ‘68 Polara. As I posted on another thread I was getting some pretty large bounces on my fuel gauge and Temp gauge. Both which are fed from a voltage regulator limiting to 5 volts built into the fuel gauge...

    Manual antenna debacle what’s up? 68 Polara

    I decided it was time to install my new antenna mast. surprise!!! It doesn’t fit. The new antenna has a small diameter threaded screw that is supposed to thread into the base. However my base has a larger hole and is threaded on the outside so uses a cap nut to secure the base? Sometime in the...

    '67 -'68 Polara, Monaco,500, Show me your rear (trunk wire harness)

    A perfect example would be from a 68 Polara DL . After extensive body work in my trunk area,(insert joke here) I am struggling with how the wire harness is supposed to be routed and secured on the trunk filler panel (if that is the right term). My wire retainer straps were gone or rusted away...

    Radio conversion DIY?

    Has anyone purchased an Aurora radio conversion kit and installed it? I am not afraid of electronics and this seems like it would be a fun project to convert my radio for my ‘68 Polara. Any suggestions on what kit to use? There seems to be a few different ones offered by Aurora.

    One time use fender turn signals?

    68 Polara DL. Fender mounted turn signal indicators. I wanted to change the bulbs and clean up the sockets. Problem is I am not seeing a possible way to change the bulb. I actually broke one thinking it would come apart. I have been looking at the broken one but can’t figure out how it is...

    Going through my electrical harness and need to replace some wires, but have a quandary on what terminals to use in my connectors. I ordered some of e-bay that were supposed to be Mopar replacement blade connectors. I ended up with a couple of different types of which are not quite the same. Any...

    Cloth covered positive ignition coil wire

    Does anyone have a source for the cloth covering that goes over the positive ignition coil wire and water temp sender wire? I want to go as close as original as possible. I would also love to find a wire with the molded plastic terminal (coil wire) but may be asking for too much.

    Burnt wires at Bulkhead connector

    As I was cleaning up my harness (68 Polara), which thankfully is out of the car and on the workbench, I see some melting on a couple of my main power supply wires at the bulk head connector. I found a new replacement bulkhead, and am changing it out, but am wondering the root cause. This is the...
