The only way to see if a battery is any good is to fully charge it, then get it load tested. If you charge it up, say overnight, then bring it to a battery place or an auto supply store, or even to a local garage, they will test it for free, it only takes 10-15 sec. to do. Sometimes, if the car is not used for a long while, the parasitic draw of…[Read more]

Just one question paul. Your are on here early morning .You are on here late night.When do you sleep.

Ricardo,  Couldn’t tell from your post what your vehicle is, but if it’s VW powered, your problem could be the pilot bushing for your starter motor.  This little “gremlin” is a bronze bushing pressed into the transmission case.  When all things are perfect obviously no problem, but the little rascals wear out in time.  When they are worn the arm…[Read more]

No problem Rocky. Glad to help!

Greg,Congratulations on the pending birth! Exciting news!Those t-shirt and hat ideas are several years old.Near as I can recall, there was never enough interest to go to production with any of them.Sorry.

Edsnova,

Still have this for sale if anyone knows of someone looking…I’m going to drop the price to $6000 which should be a pretty good deal for someone.

Paul, you have a real knack for searches.  I was on JEGs several times and couldn’t find the complete list of wiring.  You hit the jackpot!Thank you!

I searched on ebay electral wire found several auctions with an asortment of colors.. I didn’t scroll down very far to see if they were offered any other way ..

I’ve got a trickle charger and some distilled water. Pry off your lids and see if your plates are all under water. If not, and usually it’s just one, top ’em up. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

I keep my Duchess and my 65 Plymouth on chargers.Both batteries are over 6 years old (at least!!!)

I think you may have gotten a weak, old or bad battery.  I’d take it back while it’s still under the best warranty.  Most batteries have a pro rated warranty so the longer you wait the more you’ll have to pay.  I think within the first year they are almost 100%

Thanks Bill but I really don’t have the money for a prebuilt harness.  That’s why I’m looking for spools of wire.

Did my dash with a ready made harness.

46* sunny and warm enough for me.  Took her out for a short ride, only ’bout 1/2 hour but loved it.  First outing for 2012 too.  Hot a few  looks but who cares.  She purred like a kitten!

Took Scarlett out today. 1st ride in 2012. It is in the low 60s here in the Ozarks with lots of sunshine. She sure was glad to get  that winter dust blown off. I sure hope all the other members here get a chance for a ride even if it is a short one.
