    Spark Plug Wire Heat Shield (‘Socks’)

    My car has been through a rough couple of weeks. Radiator replaced, alternator replaced, now getting to maintenance items and see the heat from the exhaust manifold has destroyed my spark plug wire boot (driver side, closest to the driver). Any of you have luck with those heat shield socks...

    Voltage Regulator Mounting Screws

    Any chance someone could share a pic and/or details for the mounting screws for a 1968 voltage regulator? I don’t think the one screw I have holding mine to the fire wall is correct (the fact there is only one is a tell tale sign)

    System voltage is low - Battery not charging

    In addition to my radiator issue, I discovered my battery is not charging in my ‘68 300 either. I went for the easy fix and got a solid state voltage regulator. No luck! Volts are still between 11.8 and 12.2. Went and got a remanufactured 55 amp alternator at the local Napa, installed it and...

    Spark Plug Wire Replacement

    I will be doing some maintenance next weekend including new distributor cap, rotor, and plugs. My question is should I also do the spark plug wires at the same time? How long do plug wires last?? Thanks for any knowledge you are willing to share.

    Electric Fan Wiring

    Hello! In an effort to fix a hot start issue I have been having with my EFI, I am contemplating the installation of an electric fan. The EFI unit (FiTech) does have fan control, but I am unsure of some of the other wiring for the relay and where to pull the positive side from. I have a 1968...

    Headlight Bulb Supplier

    Can anyone point me to a good supplier for headlight bulbs for a 1968 300? I am potentially looking for both the low and high beam bulbs. And I am not against swapping out the old for some new low(er) voltage LED bulbs, I just want them to look like the vintage ones. Thank you!

    Flasher Unit

    turn signals and flashers are still out on the 68 300. I fear the culprit might be the turn signal switch in the column. I did find a supplier on eBay, but hoping to keep that as a plan B because of the cost of the part and not wanting to tear down my steering column. My ideal plan A is the...
