Re: 1976 Dodge D100 (Californian)

Emissions equipment delete

Hi all 1976 Dodge D100 318ci. As this was a Californian truck it still has all the emissions stuff in place. Not bothered about it being place but most of the vacuum lines have perished, they are currently wrapped in electrical tape. So my question is can I disconnect the equipment vacuum lines (and...

Re: 1976 Dodge D100 (Californian)

Got some new tyres on today, found some marks on the back of the slot mags saying size (15 × 8.5) "wheel dist inc" and "Ontario Cal" so nothing special I'd imagine there were loads of people making wheels back then Rather than stainless strips in the bed I've used the original re...

Build Sheet Decoder

Had this for some time now, not useful to me with previous vehicles or current, thought maybe someone could use it? Can't remember what I paid but they're about £25. Would exchange for truck parts, interior mirror? Drivers door inside opener? Radiator expansion tank? WHY? Unsure which section to pos...

Re: 1976 Dodge D100 (Californian)

Going through electrical tidy up at the moment, both battery cables were toast so made new ones. Instrument cluster pins were either broken or wobbly so had some leccy experts solder those back on. The ammeter is a known fire hazard on trucks (I assume cars too?) Someone had already bypassed it and ...

Re: 1976 Dodge D100 (Californian)

Starting sorting the lights straight away, I wanted to keep the original tail lights rather than put modern ones on so have fitted indicators where the original reversing lights were just by making an adaptor plate and sorting wiring of course.

Re: Saying hello

Thanks for the messages guys nice to be welcomed ☺ On the advice of Stu I think start a workshop thread as some may be interested my garage meandering and also relevant across same era Mopar vehicles? I'll be honest in saying that I'm not a great fan of slot mags but they're very period and budget r...
