Re: SD 1992 Acclaim low beam headlamp failure

2004-11-03 Thread Ean Orsel
As far as I know, the running lamps are simply a lower voltage to the high 
beam filament.  It shouldn't have anything to do with the low beams.

The first thing I would expect, is the wiring has a break somewhere leading 
to the low beam terminal on that side.

PS. Did you try plugging the new bulb into the known working plug to make 
sure the bulb is fine?

SD Turbopalooza 2004!!! Saturday!!!

2004-11-03 Thread RACINTRACY
Here's the low down on Turbopalooza 2004, in a neat, easy to read package!!

The Ohio Valley Chapter SDAC end of season drag racing bash, we invade 
Edgewater's Saturday afternoon tune  test.

Saturday, November 6th, 12 noon to 5PM Eastern time. $10 to watch, $15 to 
race. NHRA track, helmet for 13.99 and quicker, cage for 11.99.

The track is located on the South West side of Cincinnati, 4819 East Miami 
River Road, Cleves Ohio 45002. Exit #7 off of I - 74, track phone is 
513-353-4666. No glass bottles, cans OK, adult beverages OK. 

Track is *not* known for traction, if you have slicks, bring 'em.

See: www.edgewaterrace.com

All are welcome, car running or not!!
After racing, we usually gather at a members house for beers  pizza, bench 
racing, BSing and general Tomfoolery.

It's ALWAYS a great time, see old friends, meet new people, match screen 
names to faces.

See MANY TD's - we usually get 30+ cars, this year sounds like it will be the 
biggest one yet, including some seriously fast cars, and we have the 2 
quickest 5 speed TD's around right here in the OVC.



Be there, be there, BE THERE

im sure you all already know this but i thought id throw it out there anyways. from 
what i heard, gary opened up rp because of that exact reason that there was hardly any 
affordable places to get performance parts for our cars. and now that theres a few 
different places to get these parts then he finds no reason to keep going. i know i 
have learned a lot, probably most of my info from thedodgegarage and really appreciate

Re: SD Alternator Options for 2.2 Turbo's

2004-11-03 Thread Paul T. Standaert
Think of it this way--what is there to go wrong inside of these things?  Armature 
shorting out?  Field coil shorting/breaking?  Excessive commutator wear?  All are 
unlikely to happen.  It seems to me that the only thing that commonly fails in our 
alternators is bearings and brushes, both which are easily serviceable by the home 
mechanic at a cost of about $60.  Leaves, bees, etc like to get sucked into these 
alternators via the fan and cause problems, too.  Does anyone know what went wrong in 
the ones they've had go bad?

Most alternators kick the can because of voltage regulator failures, usually caused by 
heat..  We have an external regulator (power module or SMEC/SBEC).

NAPA, along with many others, sell these things with lifetime warranties.

RE: SD Alternator Options for 2.2 Turbo's

2004-11-03 Thread Bryan Lugert
Sounds like you are talkling about a starter.

The parts common to an Alternator are: Rotor, Stator, Slip Ring, Bearings,
Brushes, Rectifier. (and regulator in most cases)

In the Chrysler Alternators the main thing that goes out is the brushes.
Very cheap to buy.
You could get a set of brushes and bearings for about $22.00

In the Nippendenso alternators it is usually the rectifier and brushes.
(bearings while you are there)
You are looking at about $44-55.00 for those three things.

If you are having a hard time locating the parts, I have them in stock at
all times.
Just would need the part # of the alternator to be sure you get the correct
parts.

If I was replacing the alternator in any of our cars I would go with the
Nippendenso because it puts out 120 amps, sure it costs a little more, but
worth it.

There is also an option to get 136 amp alternator to work with out
applications, just takes one small part. :)

I got my bosch rebuilt unit for $70 at murray's discount auto parts with a lifetime

ALWAYS do at discount auto parts stores) so I also got out of the $25 core charge.. 
even has a heat shield built on! it really seemed like a brand new one when I stuck it

So I have a few questions for you guys. Would you be interested in powder coated 
knuckles,caliper brackets,lower control arms,k-frames,etc. ?
What colors would you like them in? Would you like the big brake or small brake option 
? How interested/enthusiastic are you about this?

YES!  Those are the correct terminologies!  I'm in electric motor land yet.  They do 
essentially the same things though.  I forgot to suggest the rectifier that can easily 
go bad too, or turn into a half wave rectifier.  Again, heat on the diodes can kill

Tell us the scoupe on getting the 136 amp ones to work.  90 will always work fine for 
me, but ya never know.

RE: SD Alternator Options for 2.2 Turbo's

2004-11-03 Thread Bryan Lugert
THE biggest thing that kills alternators is jump starting your car when the
battery is dead.
That will blow the diodes in the rectifier.

Also, remember the old test where you would unplug the battery to see if the
alternator (generator) was doing it's job?  Well DO NOT DO IT!  Cars today
are not meant to be run without the battery and you could cause damage to
your cars computer.

136 amp?  I will get all the correct information tomorrow.
It involves getting a 136 amp alt from another Dodge application and then
adding a spacer to the mounting ear. I believe the mounting ear an our cars
is 8mm and the one that I know works is 11mm.  Anyway, I can get those
spacers really cheap.

Pics might be posted tomorrow if I have enough time (and brains)
I am headed to Turbopalooza on Friday morning, so if you need an alternator
or starter just let me know and I will bring it along.
