Re: Re;wire new Alt-Reg and Starter

do you still have points? and cheap as they are I would throw a new starter relay on it .take the starter off and have it tested/repaired. check your battery too. it should get you cranking again.

A-108 front hubs

for anyone else needing hub/drum assys. I found a 66 Plymouth fury. it has the same hub and 11 inch drum as my van.SCORE ! so the working theory is dodge ,Plymouth, and Chrysler big cars from the 60s, have the same brake drum/hubs as our D-100/A-100s. :2cents
