I feel like I'm back in the 80's – I have this perfect stock radio face plate, and no radio, and need to cut it up to put a retro cassette deck in it (with a 1/8 jack for ipod), but I find it hard to cut up this perfect 70 face. What to do? They only cost 45.00 for after market. Is there a demand for stock face plates vs aftermarket? I would trade if someone wants this.
Also, I did not realize that Chrysler's boards are dry socket and no solder.  That makes them corrode and come loose. I soldered my pins for extra strength. This board also had some alterations that I had to clean up and fix. Now it is ready to last.

DC 1, This has to be done by May - running with no bugs.

Does anyone know if you can bench test the electrical system by powering the bulkhead?

Not sure how many people read this... But I'm wondering with 2.94 rears, and 28" tires what Trany speedo gear do I use, or is there a formula?

Dane

[JB400]

I'm sure somebody has a chart that'll tell you   Did you find a headliner bow?

Dane, do you have a 2 or 3speed wiper? You have one molded plug that goes to the wiper that's obvious. If you have a 3 speed wiper, the switch has, if I recall correctly, has two extra brown wires. If you have one brown wire terminal connector with a slot (which I see now in your picture, you do, it is one of the extra 3speed switch wires. This wire goes to the switch spade that has a raised tip on the side. The slotted side of the plug goes on the side of the switch spade with the tip on the side. As mentioned, you have two wires that go to the 2-prong washer switch. If you let the wires lay naturally, typically those two are the ones closest to the washer switch. Then, by elimination, you can figure the other one that goes to the wiper ( if you have a 3speed switch ).

Hope I didn't confuse you......

Thank you. MSD is changing their colors more and more now. I get tired of their red everything - under my hood and being a distraction from my MOPAR stuff. Even the Cap went light brown - to be more MOPAR

a 3 speed wiper motor would help with the air cleaner clearance

I have not checked that...did the oval air cleaner come with a 2 speed wiper? First thing in the morning I will be checking. Thanks for the heads up.

 as far as i know  , the factory  only put 3 speed wipers , on a  second generation HEMI  Charger ,  due to wiper motor -to  OEM air cleaner clearnece problems ,
