me with some of it. It's the same ol' problem though...when you got time you
got no MONEY.....

I've had 2 68 barracudas (slant 6, and 318), 68 charger R/T (440), 69 GTX
(440), and I still have my 67 Dart GT convertible (340). Having kids put my
hobbies on hold for about 10 years, so doing a proper resto on the Dart has
been a long time coming.

Yes, 8 volts. It was the dumbest setup you ever saw. Why it wasn't
converted right to a 12 volt I'll never know. The thing would just die on me
all of the time. I sold it off and got a '73 Nova. It sucked too and blew up at
52,000 miles. Then I got a '68 Dodge Coronet....loved that car!

My first car was a '49 Chevy Deluxe. 6 volt converted to an 8 volt
and it still sucked. Those old cars need 12 volt to be worthy.

Reminds me of when I was living in Seattle and had a '53
Cadillac. When I got it back from a transmission shop they had stolen my new
battery and put their old weak one in it. I also parked my old Caddy on an
incline and would push it to begin the coast and it would start at about 5 mph.
I only had to drop it in second and wait...
That was my first car and it was awesome: 27 mpg and air
conditioning and automatic and all the other happy amenities they stuck on
them. It had a generator, not an alternator.

Thanks, Snookfever! I rode all day today and parked about six
times.
Each time, I scope a small inclide and park on the upper end.
Only had to
really push start it once. But, it'll be good to get the starter
functional
again.

If you have trouble finding brushes.... look for a shop in your
area that
rebuilds alternators and starters. I rebuilt my starter with new
brushes
from a local shop.

replace the solenoid. Has 12 volts ? Pull the starter and the end
cap. Clean
and rebuild. New brushes needed.
