So 3/8 wide it is then, not thick?

Ricky, by 3/8 you mean a thicker belt? Can't really go wider

Why yes I did. Oops!

Hello everyone.

I have never used Marcel Mystery oil before.
I have seen it mentioned alot, throughout the years.

Is this product snake oil or is it magical?

Any thoughts on why it might or might not be good?

Thanks all!

Yes! I also cleaned if the wires on the rheostat as well and got rid of the green corrosion.

Hey everyone.

Anyone know where I can get headlamps that Incan change the bulb in, so not sealed?

Thanks.

Looking for cylindrical motor mounts for our 59 Fury.

After I installed LED's in the dash, I took out the knob and shaft and cleaned it up with some super fine Emery cloth.
After that it rotated beautifully even though with LED's they won't dim unless there's more done to the circuit.

Well we stick with the heavy duty voltage regulator and three wire (batt and 2 field) alternator. I also purchased a new silver 4 post solenoid from Princess Auto. Next will be to fix up all the wiring from that positive post on the solenoid I will be doing a fused junction box for all the 12v lines...

I too being a young 48 years old had trouble changing all three especially that high up center one with the tiny bit of wire. I lay on my back with my head squeezed in behind the gas pedal to get access up behind the console. NOT an easy way to do anything behind the cluster. I changed out the bulbs...

Hello folks. The setup this car came with had an alternator with a built in regulator and also another two wire style regulator. Do we need the external regulator? Our alternator died and now I'm wondering why we couldnt just use the alternators internal regulator. Am I missing something that had to...

Loretta got brighter!

Man that is a nice looking 318.

I will check tightness. I don't like the fact the alternators on a large arm that I think might even have some give when you really tighten the belt. I will also check the alternator pulley.

Thanks guys.

Imagine that wobble being 20-30 times faster as the camera smooths it out so to speak.

Hi Dan.

Yes, it's been upgraded to an alternator. Unfortunately I've taken video but the vibration doesn't show on video well at all.
