I have the VHX setup for my gauges. I looked at the RTX manual and it looks pretty close to the VHX setup so I hope this helps, as I had a similar issue. First, with your key on, what’s the voltage at the sending unit connector, with it disconnected? I was getting intermittent voltage, and...

Has anyone had their AC hoses rebuilt? Mine look pretty dried out. Does anyone sell new hoses or is a rebuild the only option? If I have them rebuilt, is there anything I need to know ahead of time? If I can’t buy new ones I don’t want to make the ones I have worse as they currently hold a vacuum.

Thanks! Those wires are actually for a compass and outside air module for my Dakota digital gauges. I hadn’t tucked them away as I needed to do some troubleshooting. I’m undecided on the sub. The head unit has an output for one but it sounds pretty good as is, so I’m calling this project a...

Component list with pricing is below. I included my original junk amp in this cost. Rounded everything up to the closest dollar. Retrosound 4x10 speaker 60.00 6x9 Speakers 40.00 16awg Speaker Wire 25.00 #10 wire 41.00 Fuse holder and fuses 10.00 Shielded RCA Cables 20.00 Ohradio Single Din...

Quick follow up for anyone stumbling on this post with questions on the front speaker. This retro sound d-412 is awesome. I wired it into a system a month or two ago and it performs great. It is impressively loud with a 200W amp paired with two 6x9 speakers. IMO it’s too loud to crank all the...

Thanks. I looked at putting it here but one of the AC hoses seemed to be in the way. I’ll take a second look, or maybe put it on the other side of the battery. And by feed to the starter solenoid post, you mean the wire from the battery to that post? Mine looks to have been replaced and is...

Has anyone wired an auxiliary fuse box in? I am going to put my low beams and high beams on relays, and wanted that to look cleaner than just having two relays hanging somewhere with in line fuses. I also replaced my gauges and don’t have the ammeter any more; the ammeter terminal wires have...

Correct. Here is an example off Challenger RTA’s schematic where BJ and RW are referenced. Thanks! I was thinking it was differences between options packages on an e body. Not a different platform… which makes sense.

So I see where it goes to the neutral safety switch on the transmission, and it’s not that plug. That plug’s breakout off this harness goes down below the car, these connectors in question look to be up at the engine. They’re just wrapped together with the neutral safety switch wires. Does that...

So this info was very helpful with a few issues, but I am having trouble identifying some burned connectors in the engine compartment. This is for a ‘71 Challenger originally equipped with a 318, two barrel carb, and 904 transmission. There is a harness on the drivers side of the engine that...

No, I didn’t reach out about it because I figure it’s water under the bridge. If I were to do it again, I might slice a X in the vinyl material under where the vin goes so I could cut out the foam beneath it, but still have the vinyl material under the vin. I think that would reduce the bend in...

I bought it from Year One, who subs it to Al Knoch interiors. I had a question about trimming and modifying it, and called Al Knoch directly. They were super nice and helpful. Also got it back way quicker than I expected. FWIW; I had purchased one from classic industries and waited a year for...

One thing I finished but I’m not completely satisfied with was my vin installation. The vin restoration itself came out great, but when I mounted it, the plush foam below it prevented it from laying flat. I tried twice to get it flat and decided to leave it because I was out of floret rivets and...

After nearly a year of being on a jig in my garage, my dash is fully restored and finally back in my car! A tip I wish I’d had before starting the install would be to trim the foam in the defroster ducts away from the screw holes that secure the dash. The foam would prevent the screws from going...

To clarify my post, the blue should go top right on the connector in this pic. Green goes bottom right.
