I really need some help with wiring my new starter. I am fairly good at figuring out how to do wiring, even with the neither-wholly-Chevy-nor-Pontiac hybrid wiring of our Canadian Pontiacs (specifically my 56) - but this one has me stumped.I went to hook up the wires to my brand new, high-torque mini (...

The guys on one of the Jeep forums I visit have talked about these plug and play relay conversion wiring harnesses for headlights. The seller sells 2 and 4 lamp versions. The headlamp switches are weak on Cherokees and often fail if higher wattage halogen headlights are used so I'll likely buy the 2 la...

Pretty upset with myself about now. I discovered a little while ago that the last time I worked on my GP electrical, I left the battery hooked up (against my rule in the attached garage/workshop I am in) AND not only that, I forgot the key on. I killed my almost new Delco battery since it is almost a week ago...

I put in new springs last year so I know they need to come down a bit. Anyhow, there's an old school spec (certain height at a certain distance from a wall)....

I came across this complete electronic ignition setup at a swap meet. Anyone heard of Stinger? Any good? Worth my while to put in or just resell? I figured the distributer is worth the price of the whole setup so not out much.

With the recent discussion on dash electrical issues, the topic has come up about wiring in relays for headlights (for safety reasons). I did this on my 66 GP a little while back, and Jmont64 asked me how I did it. I thought maybe I should post it on here in case others are interested. Keep in mind, I am NOT a...
