JoKer's '76 HN6783 Daily

[JoKer]

Great info on features I never knew these cars had! FLASH

Not so much my Daily of late but I hope to change this soon



one of these cars is getting a Wof today! (the other next month)

[JoKer]

Not nearly as exciting as Richard's V8 Build but this is to me



NOS Stock Inhibitor Switch from forum member AvengerParts aka Graeme

Does Reverse Lights & the special thing so it only Starts in Park etc

He has some in stock including some to suit the BW35 (different type)

also note the Peugot Talbot labels! yep there's a story there of Hillman's Company 'demise' or on selling to the Chrysler Corp etc

[JoKer]

Nothing exciting happening just driving it Daily to work & stuff

Nothing much to report though did manage to finally catch up with and meet the owner of this on the weekend

 

Ken seems like a great chap

 

 



He gave me a car for the Humber / Hillman Car club too which Graeme Ekins (aka "avengeraparts" on here) is a part of too, his Hunter is on the right part of their Club Display

 

 

 

Ken gave me their contact

 

Was quite neat to have them side by side & compare the little things like Strip Height & roof colour and even the Later model Towbar option and the "By Chrysler" Badge on his

And I have since learned fro my Instagram post that the Chrysler Avenger is one of the only cars you can operate the Indicators without any key being on, design feature / flaw? Or could have been peculiar to the commentator's car they were working on at the time maybe?

Wife & I bought our first home together, it's also built in 1976


 


The house that is, not my wife LOL

Okie dokie She's been a shed hog since the OS meet & the second Ballast died in June


 


bough those replacements and something was not right

Car would start, run then stop abruptly every time, we'd get rev's, or Idle & same thing every time

Started looking at Wiring / modules coil etc (only seriously yesterday tbh)


 


that's a basic diagram (because I had misplaced my Haynes)


 


Pins are numbered looking at the plug like this


 


We're running this Dizzy (electronic setup from a Series 8 we Installed in 2017)




 


Actual Wiring Diagram (I had to look at my security Cameras to see when I last had the Haynes in my hand... 2x Thursdays ago it turns out, Book was under seat of my Commy LOL)


 


had a mate looking her over, he says "hey you've not got that jumper #5"


 


makeshift Jumper, which I'll probably never upgrade


 


And I've driven my car to work (2.5km / 5 mins) for the first time in 4 months!

cant believe something simple, we've pulled fuel hoses off, checked Carb Diaphragms and traced wires, and all it "seemed to be" (we'll test drive around town for a few weeks first)

was one little Jumper that was never there : super odd!

[JoKer]

Has been running trouble free since

'zaust fell off : check back yard found one, just needs some heat / persuasion to locate right (not quite same orientation as it  came off a Chrysler)

also needed new Tyres (USA Tires) and these came on a recent aqusition

Rolled over another digit : yeah not a major but still a thing LOL


I'm working on the theory it's in the 200's now so 210,000 KM's on the car




 



I drove around the Lookout trying to get the sun and the background just right, but that was about the best of it

[JoKer]

Starter begun making a grinding noises a month or so ago

then stopped

I've never had a spare until my 1st Visit to Ron's horde the other week

so had it cleaned & checked over and half an hour to swap out & back on the road






Quite nice to drive the old Girl for a change

[JoKer]
