I thought I'd write up how I rebuild the temp gauges for our MoPars. Start by carefully cutting the outside protective wrap at about 40 inches from the bulb. Then coil the tube around your hand (starting at the bulb) and put it in an ice bath.

I just finished installing a remote start switch on the inside firewall pad, just left of the clutch pedal. My battery is under the seat and it's a real pain to disconnect it, everytime I park the wagon in the shop. i've seen too many vehicle fires to feel comfortable leaving everything connected when I'm away. I decided to go with 4 ought (4/0) conductor from the back of the switch to the starter. I used my existing YnZ Wiring cable that came with the '40 Plymouth wiring harness because it already had the correct terminals (battery post and 3/8" end) to go from the battery to the switch. I've never had any electrical problems since the install a few years ago, however the YnZ conductor is obviously less beefy than the new one (2/0?). I know with 6 volt you want to minimize voltage drop, so I was thinking about replacing the other 3 ft cable with 4/0 conductor, but wire this large is pricey, so if it won't matter, I'll obsess on something else and leave it alone! Opinions?

Wondering if there is anyone in West Michigan who may have access to a brake adjusting gauge for an old Plymouth for a friend of mine who doesn't get around the web so well? We're in the Sparta area, but willing to travel to save a ton of time getting these adjusted the right way. Looking to purchase, rent, borrow or whatever we can work out to get this job done. Thank you, Dave 'davitlee'

My local supplier only carries 18 and 20g steel, what do you use for patching body panels?

My temp gauge always reads hot but my infrared temperature gun gives healthy temperatures at the radiator, hoses, and head. I was at a show recently and talked to another flathead owner who said he resolved the same issue by putting a 1/4 ohm resister in between the sensor and the gauge. Anyone done this or have thoughts about it. I'm running a 218 block with 12v and original 12v gauges in my '57 d100. -steve
