I had been in and out of my 73 Valiant 225 all day yesterday running errands and on my way home i start my car and notice my dash lights are VERY bright and my alternator guage is maxed out above 40+ if I have any kind of acceleration going on. If its idleing, the guage reads straight up, but any increase in RPM and the guge shoots all the way up. What could be the cause?

One of the first things many people do to their classic car is to add a tachometer.
I’ve seen many styles and many different mounting locations for tachometers, and I’ve decided I want one for my 1974 Dart.

The next weekend I wanted to take the car out for a little drive and it wouldn’t start. Again I didn’t think much about it just used my daily driver and the ride wasn’t as fun. So in the…

It’s been a year now since i tore my 71 dart apart. It’s on its way back together now. But, after a year, you kind of forget stuff. On the back of the parking light assembly there is a .250 tab that aparently grounds the parking light bulb. Is that true? If so, is there a separate lead that grounds the lamps? If so, where does that lead attach to ground?
