70 challenger horns

Posted by: | Comments Comments Off
This may be a dumb question but, I do not have any horns in my 70 challenger and was looking for something aftermarket that somewhat resembles stock.
Does any 12v horn work and do I need 2 (high and low).
If anyone has a picture of a stock set-up that would be great.
Thanks

another bulklhead wire question

Posted by: | Comments Comments Off
little trouble with the wire harness... should I be removing this completely from within the inside or shouldn't it simply free from here??

Seems several wires just don't come along with the clip/fastener/whatever it's called....

Finding switched power…..

Posted by: | Comments Comments Off
When i purchased my 73 Duster, it had an aftermarket CD player in it with new speakers wired. The CD player wouldnt power up at first, and after some handy dandy investigation work I discovered the accessory wire on the radio had not been connected. Does anyone know offhand which color wire under the dash may be switched power to turn the player on when the key is turned forward/backward. The CD player works, as I have touched the wire to the constant and everything works well. Also can anyone point me in the right direction to a wiring diagram? Im in need of wiring for the door/dome light switches as well. Also, are these switches available anywhere?

Autometer gauges are ordered- good advice appreciated

Posted by: | Comments Comments Off
I finally bit the bullet and ordered my new autometer gauges from Summit. They are all Sport Comp and electrical gauges, except the speedometer which is mechanical. I also ordered the Lokar 80" speedo cable, which is a little too long, but it was the closest I could find.
Couple of questions I still need answered:

Are the speedometer cable ports on the 727, A833, and 904 transmissions the same? The Lokar cable I ordered fits the 727 for sure, but I have an A833.

Also, can that cable be wrapped behind the dash in a sweeping path, or should I cut it and resolder/weld it back together to fit the car? I don't don't want to get it jammed and ruin the gear in the tranny.

Also, any tips or pointers you all have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
