Hi mate, Not sure how far you've got with this... and I'm not quite sure what you're referring to, but I can guess... This is for a second fuse box, and you want to know what fuses to use (rating, type, etc?). The fuse box cover normally gives some idea, or the owner's manual. The workshop manuals d...

Not sure how straight forward the swap is, as I haven't done it, but it shouldn't be too hard to find a more gutsy alternator if required. The main things to check are that the mounting is similar enough, and that the electrical components are the same (ie whether the regulator is internal/external,...

Hmmm, I'm not certain whether the dizzies are the same, but I'd be careful making the assumption based only on the cap and points being the same. It's possible the parts are interchangeable, but the dizzy itself could be different, either subtley or majorly. Perhaps someone with more wisdom on here ...

Nice find! Note though that Galants may be listed under Chrysler Australia:

Mine is desert orange and is listed here, not under Mitsi.

Do you have to use two hands because the button is hard, or because the brake is too tight? You can loosen it off at the back wheel... Or get a new assembly. The button is only to release the ratcheting stop and release the brake...

It should be a good day... weather seems reasonable! Who's going? I'll be there in my Gal...

Yeah, the US is good for bits and pieces. A real capitalist society: "Of course we can help you with that sir!" :-)

Where do you get bits from Dave? Any websites in particular?

Nice ride! Welcome to the forum.

Yeah, a bigger alternator is a good idea... it's easy enough to get one re-worked. Mine's up to 55A, but even that is on the low side :-) There's info on this in the electrical thread... feel free to take a look.

Have fun with your build!

Tis very nice indeed! This shows what can be done... I think we'll need to make a concerted effort to do a calendar with more than one copy for 2016 :-)

Cool, the pic certainly helps! I'll refer to the wires coming out of the unit rather than the ones coming out of the connectors. So, if I have this right, the connector on the left is all on it's own and is irrelevant here? Looking at the conneector on the right, the red/yellow/white/blue coloured g...

Nice... nah I didn't see the LC there. Bugger! I was on the lookout for anything of relevance to the site too. Oh well, perhaps another cruise soon... There are a few interesting things coming up, like All Jap Day and All Chrysler Day, both in March. And the R&R Rendezvous in April. Plus plenty ...

Hey Angry, welcome to the site! I don't know exactly the details of the audio head you have, but am happy to take a few guesses. You may also be able to Google-search some stuff too. It sounds like you have the Acc, Pwr, light and earth sorted. With the speakers, they should all have a pair of wires...

Okay, I know I've been a bit slack in getting these up, but check 'em out :) https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t31.0-8/10479919_10152427881211653_498355884243727811_o.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t31.0-8/q82/p417x417/10915001_10152427880141653_17200...

Nah, not totally incorrect... R12 can't be bought or sold any more, and is no longer being manufactured (not anywhere that trades with us, anyway!), and so all that's left is all there is. So, unless you are a fridgey, it's as rare as rocking-horse poo, or for all intents and purposes, it no longer ...

Ah, the joys... all I can say is that after driving my GC for so many years, my arms are pretty massive

Yeah, I saw that one too... thought it might have been my old GC, as I had one the same colour many moons ago, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't. I spoke to the guy and he was surprised I had one the same colour, as he hadn't seen another... Looked decent though! Had a 2.6 conversion. It was the one we ...

So... how did the calendar look?

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good Christmas and that Santa brought you lots of cool car things! Just wondering if anyone is going to Jaf's Last Cruise tomorrow night? I'm thinking of heading along. I'll probably join in with the Chrysler Club guys... it'll be great to have a bit of Siggy/Galant r...

Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Hi guys, yeah, Flexible Drive Agencies do this kind of thing (including re-working old gear if new ones can't be found), and also do speedo cables, accelerator cables, etc. Pretty sure they're in every state too...

Well, I'm certainly a purist... my first baby was a GC Galant, and I've stuck fairly well in the Galant/Mitsi camp since. My first was a sweet little ride, ran like a dream and was a whole lot of fun! Had to sell her eventually, as we had too many cars taking up our front yard, and my current orange...

Hi Jack, Given that you've investigated all the electrical stuff and ruled that out (buying new components), I'd think about checking your carbie next. Not only the fast idle, but also things like your fuel mix, blockages, etc, as these things will affect the cars' abilitiy to start as well as to id...

Hi everyone, As the weather starts to warm up, I reckon we should think about organising another Adelaide cruise... anyone keen? Anyone keen to suggest dates in Nov or Dec??? We could make it a Christmas gathering... Also, have you seen the All Chrysler Day ads for next year yet... looks like they'r...

Yikes, that's nasty! Normally the usual suspects like Sprint and Repco help with this gear, or you can get stuff custom made too (or DIY, as Tandanus suggested). I normally try to use original where I can, but have done some heater lines in insulated copper pipe before (my dad's a fridgey and is a m...

Hey all, just thought I'd share a problem and solution I've had ongoing for a while now... Basically, for the last few months, I've had an issue where my Gal would suddenly lose power and the revs would drop off completely, only to come back after a couple of pumps of the loud pedal. I'd thought it ...

I agree, it could well be the auto choke... it's important to pump the throttle before starting to engage it. It could also be that the auto choke isn't set up properly (fast idle adjustment), etc... it's certainly where I'd be looking first.

Following on from the last couple of responses, I'd be going through a systematic approach to diagnosis. Confirm power is there, then work back from the battery - is there power going to the solenoid? Is the car trying to start? Do you have a spark? Is there fuel being pumped? Hopefully it should be...

Hi guys,
Thanks for the tips. I think I'll give the Astron cap a try first of all, and see how that goes first... I'll let you know how I go!

How about radiator caps... what are other people running? 14, 15 or 16 PSI?

Hi all, just a got a quick question... I've been having trouble lately with my oil filler cap, in that it doesn't seem to last very long. I replaced one a couple of years ago (it had cracked), and since then, I've found myself needing to replace them every few months, as they rattle around. Has anyo...

Hmmm, strange... do the revs actually jump, or is it the tacho that's jumping? How long does the burst last? Could be a bit of faulty wiring going to the tacho...
