Maintenance / Re: Headlights causing GEN light?

« on: August 11, 2013, 02:33:53 PM »

I just purchased my 1969 X77D80 Z/28. When my headlights are on they ever so slightly go bright then dim, bright, then dim. Like every half second they alternate. This occurs at any rpm of the engine. I did notice this morning that behind the engine on the drivers side is a "ground strap" that is hanging from the firewall and not connected to anything. It is a fairly good size strap. Could this be a possible cause? Not enough engine ground? Thanks for your input....  Jeff

I ordered a new Holley carb from them at the last minute about 10 days ago. (Mine was diagnosed as terminal.) So I needed it next day, car was in the shop and needed to be removed! I called talked to the guy on the phone at Heartbeat City and he quoted me $795.00 for a #4053. BUT I had seen one on Ebay from them for $695.00. I mentioned that to him. He put me on hold went to they're Ebay site and then came back on the phone and said that I was right. So they honored the $695.00 price and I got that carb the very next day by 11:00am. As far as I am concerned they are "so far so good". First purchase I might say but after this transaction I would buy from them again....very prompt too. I called them just past noon and that thing was shipped that same day.......
