Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor - February 22, 2025 - Hour 1 - Finding Spark Plug Wires for a 1961 Rambler American - (855)560-9900 24/7 Hotline

Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor begins the show in a no-nonsense mood, fueled by a dose of chicken soup from Research Kathy. He quickly shifts to the topic of car batteries before taking calls. Key Takeaways from the Show: Car Battery Maintenance & Misconceptions Many drivers don't realize that a car battery can die simply from lack of use. Driving only a few miles a day or letting a car sit for extended periods can cause battery depletion. Batteries need at least 35-40 minutes of driving at highway speeds with some electrical load to recharge properly. Solutions for Low-Use Vehicles For those who don’t drive frequently, solar-powered battery chargers (plugged into the OBD-II port) can maintain charge without needing to drive. The host’s shop uses automatic battery chargers to keep low-mileage customers' batteries healthy. General Battery Advice If a battery is over four years old, replace it before it fails. Modern cars have many electronic systems that drain power even when parked. Visit AutoBatteries.com for information on choosing the right battery. Call-In Segment: Finding Spark Plug Wires for a 1961 Rambler A caller struggles to find plug wires long enough for his flathead six-cylinder engine. Ron suggests checking Standard Motor Products for the correct part number. Alternatively, he recommends buying a universal set for a Chevy small-block V8 and cutting them to the correct length. Conclusion: The show blends technical advice with humor, emphasizing battery maintenance for modern vehicles and addressing a classic car enthusiast's problem. Ron's expertise and straightforward approach make complex car issues easy to understand.
