    Is my dash pad the wrong color?

    I've only seen the insides of maybe two dozen A-bodies from 67>72, but I can't remember ever seeing one where the dashpad and steering wheel were not same color as dash frame. However, the black pad looks pretty good in that there car. But then I've also never seen; a woodgrain console in a...

    71 Duster carpet 4 speed

    Yes and yes, but if the shifter is installed, it's a lot more difficult, cuz you're not exactly sure where the hole should go. and if you put it in the wrong place, well, that about screws it up. Honestly, I would drop the shifter. Here's how I installed mine, and it went pretty smoothly. I...

    Cluster swap?

    Yes all the dashs will interchange; I have done this several times. But You need to swap out the entire dash-frame else you will be fiddling for days. Unfortunately, this is best done with the windshield out, as there is a row of screws right along the inside edge of the glass. I have tried to...

    Glove box pops open under mild acceleration

    that's nothing, when I pop the clutch, the keys head for the trunk. And later, I gotta go look for them. I finally installed a cupholder and just put them in there before heading out.

    Steering wheel grinding noise.

    Sounds like the horn slip-ring, or the steering wheel itself.

    What does this dash bezel fit?

    But if sorta needs to have a matching dashframe, cuz of the thumb wheel radio. And that also means a matching glovebox and ashtray. I mean if you want to use it for one of your own cars.

    67-69 Barracuda Dash for a 71 Duster?

    I installed a complete 70 Duster into my 68 Barracuda with no issues. While I was doing that, I also had a 67 and a 69, complete take-outs, to chose from. I noticed that every year has enough differences that I had to install completes. Since I had a console column with no ig,sw, I had to cut a...

    Secret Compartment '72 Demon

    I couldda used that trick, cuz at 240 kph,with a WindJammer, my steering got a lil light. I had to slide forward and lean way over the tank. Oh, and if I ever wouldda mentioned that to my young wife, I'm pretty sure I wouldda never got to be a Daddy,lol.

    Seatbelt dilemma

    In Manitoba where I live; if your car was born with shoulder belts, they have to be operational. Up here Shoulder Belts came in 69, although I have a 68 Barracuda, that was fitted for the anchors, but the headliner was installed right over them.... from the factory.

    Barracuda dash

    67 to 69 Barracudas all models; never saw anything but the Rallye Cluster. That doesn't mean somebody didn't put one in there; I mean we usually do it the other way but sometimes a guy just uses what he has.....

    AUTOMETER SPORT COMP SURVEY

    Well it's like a 65 mph speed zone. There's no law against going slower. At least I haven't heard of one. So I often go 55, cuz, well, I like 55. And it's an easy speed for some screwball who just has to go faster, to pass me. But If i go 62 well that just pisses everybody off and they sit on...

    AUTOMETER SPORT COMP SURVEY

    Since you asked for opinions and ideas here goes; IMO, on the street, the only gauge worth having is an oil pressure gauge and only to monitor the change in pressure over periods of time. If the pressure drops while you foot is in it, it's too late, the damage is done. As for a temp gauge, same...

    Removing Pedal Unit

    Push the pedal to the floor, to open up the coils, then stick flatwashers in several coils both sides. Finally pull the pedal off the floor and the spring will practically fall off the pivots. Leave the flatwashers in there cuz if you ever want to reinstall that spring, installing them again is...

    Removing Pedal Unit

    What to watch for is that over-center spring! There is a lot of stored energy in that spring and the pedal wants to be on the floor.

    Procar Lumbar Elite vs Corbeau Sport Seat

    I think they mightabin A-4s. Because of the brackets and adapters, the headrests ended up too close to the headliner is all. Too close for my taste anyway. And getting out of the car,over the bolsters, with the car lowered,without banging my head on the roofrail,was awkward.. I found some...

    Procar Lumbar Elite vs Corbeau Sport Seat

    My experience as well with Corbeaus into a 68 Barracuda; I don't recall what model I purchased,except to say they were highbacks with bolsters. After the install they looked waaay out of scale, Corbeau graciously accepted the return.

    dodge dart rally dash questions

    On the 1-2 shift, my keys fly out of the dash, between the buckets, and into the backseat area. If I had coins in the 68 type dash, I might never find them all. I had to take all the keys off the keyring leaving just the ignition key, and it finally stays in there. I have no backseat installed...

    Fresh Air Door

    I used a small butane torch on the rivet head, then after it cools it usually breaks free. I'm not a restoration-freak so if it doesn't, I just take the door off and get rid of the pins to be replaced with whatever is handy. Once the door is on the bench by itself,you can be mean to it. I...
