    Blinker switch wiring!! Please help!!

    I suspect some day, someone with a screw loose will read my loose screw story to get some direction in life, yes. I have one of those stalk-mounted-everything M bodies. It broke the beam changer and needs to be changed someday. I think there's a tab that breaks, not sure if that's repairable...

    dry interior plastics

    I'd paint them to seal-in the elements of the plastic and bind the loose stuff to the surface, but I'd still dishwasher them first.

    dry interior plastics

    Some plastics reactivate their plasticity with hot water. Maybe a trip in the dishwasher, but I'd turn off the after-wash heat.

    Blinker switch wiring!! Please help!!

    Chrysler made the non-tilt columns and bought tilt columns from Saginaw Steering since the mid 1960s thru IDK... 90s sometime maybe. Saginaw was tied to GM, they are in most every way a GM steering column. The switches operate the same, their smooth bearing feel too. I would have checked that...

    Blinker switch wiring!! Please help!!

    A 1978 Diplomat/LeBaron electrical manual is likely to be different from 1983, but for what it's worth, the - LF & RF parking lamps = Y/Bk* LF turn signal = LGR RF turn signal = T LR & RR parking/tail lamps = BK LR turn signal = DGN RR turn signal = BR LR & RR brake = W I don't know if that...

    Blinker switch wiring!! Please help!!

    I changed out a turn signal switch in a late 70s Diplomat with the old style column w/o the beam changer, non-tilt. The screw backed out after a short while of use causing the TS lever to flop, as it was before my switch replacement. This time I took a closer look finding stripped threads on the...

    3d printing

    I recently contacted a 3D printer local to me from his website online. For a piece of chromed trim about an inch wide, about a foot long with some surface detailing, I'd be looking at $200. I thanked him anyway.

    Spark Control is the new and improved name for Lean Burn after Lean Burn customers got burn-out syndrome.

    Nose swaps

    Agreed. These cars came from the factory "customized" in the way of half vinyl tops, opera lamps & windows... all that was from an earlier time that trickled into mainstream production. Under all that baloney is a pretty nice body design, for the coupe M cars particularly. Mine already had it's...

    Nose swaps

    My only complaint is that they act immediately instead of a soft on / soft off for the amber flash. New Mazdas seem to have fixed that, their turn signals use LEDs on a smooth increase/decrease of intensity... this gives the viewer's eyes a longer reference point whereas the instant on/off kind...

    Nose swaps

    I use E-code lamps but l dont have a rectangle set yet. My round lite F body car has them and the lens light pattern is much more even and direct with a distinct oncoming traffic cut off than SAE fuzzy beam lites that are the standard for US cars. The E-codes still use an incandescent bulb, not...

    I put in these new LED lites that turn from white to amber when the turn signal is on for my 79. In the running lamp position of the headlamp switch, its almost like they are thin headlights... l like the look

    Take off the vinyl roof and the crossover band, grind off the stubs for the trim clips and go with paint, l like that better

    Nose swaps

    Like them or not, the original over-the-headlight turn signal was on the 1977 LeBarons. It was updated in 1980. This later design wrapped the lens up and over the top of the bezel and repeated at the rear fenders with the taillights/reflectors that ran up onto the top of the fenders. These were...

    FSM Ignition System wiring diagram error in 1978 FSM

    I suspect the arrow is misplaced. I think it should be pointed downward more to the J2 circuit wire. I thought it was interesting, the end result would be no wire grounding the coil, a blasphemy of epic proportions in an electrical service manual.

    FSM Ignition System wiring diagram error in 1978 FSM

    I found an error in the 1978 Electrical Service Manual "Ignition System" wiring diagram, on page HNFG 8 in the wiring diagrams section. It would appear there is no wire going from to the negative coil post from anywhere on Slant 6 models. In the orange box, it says "8 cylinder" with no other...

    Windshields

    I've read that the 88-89 cars used galvanized steel, that this happened when production moved to Kenosha. That might be the answer.
