    What’s everyone using to fuse between the alternator and starter relay

    Why run a breaker at all?? The fusible link was to protect all the wiring under the dash, bypass that, and there's really no need on the run from the alternator to battery post/starter sol. Just make sure and size the wire right.

    "Home-Brewed" Battery + and - Terminal Blocks Finished Photos Added

    In my car, it's maybe 18" of #2 from the battery to the starter solenoid. So that voltage spike is totally localized and is not sensed anywhere else along that 18" of #2? Just at the solenoid and then is somehow attenuated in a very aggressive, exponential fashion, so as to be totally gone 18"...

    "Home-Brewed" Battery + and - Terminal Blocks Finished Photos Added

    Run a #4 wire from the Bat+ on the starter solenoid to a power dist. block, it's the same as being connected to the battery directly. Some anal retentive instruction writer is going off the rails here.

    68 Barracuda Fastback Courtesy/Dome light Sockets

    I need one, it's the part that goes right on the picture you posted. I have one that only has one of the mouting ears so it won't lock on anymore. Where'd you get the little gasket at? Let me know how much you want for it. Thanks

    68 Barracuda Fastback Courtesy/Dome light Sockets

    I need (1) glass housing to go on there. One of the ears on mine broke, so it only hangs halfway on.

    Vacuum advance pod

    I ended up getting a VC-167. I know there's a spec chart out there for most of the cans, my question is more related to what would be the "right" one for a 340 with a pretty run of the mill cam, I usually have about 15-16" of vacuum at a steady state cruise rpm of 2,000. I have an OD so my...

    Vacuum advance pod

    What's the correct vacuum pod for a 1970 340 with electronic distributor? I was going to grab a VC-187

    Vacuum advance pod

    I have yet again a dead vacuum advance pod. I've gone through at least 3 in the last couple of years. Anyone else experience this? Is it just the ethanol that's eating them up?

    Conversion to intermittent wipers

    I know this is kinda old, but I was wondering if anyone ever made any progress on this?

    Headlamp switch new multi-wire connector FOUND

    Easy there Captain Happy, I just asked because that Standard Motor Products # when searched, seems to be for a whole lot of other cars. Just asking.

    Headlamp switch new multi-wire connector FOUND

    This fits our headlight switches? Say for my 68 Barracuda?

    Switched to HEI

    I kept my female wires, and just got a coil wire that had male on one end and female on the other.

    Switched to HEI

    I'm running 8mm wires, Accel 5040K wire set.

    Switched to HEI

    So I finally took the plunge and switched over to the GM HEI module. I have to say, why didn't I do this earlier? I got the little aluminum adapter plate from Mopar HEI Conversion and an AC Delco D1906 module and a HEI e-core external coil and hooked it all up yesterday in about an hour after...

    Wiring up an FBO ignition box

    You want to jumper the blue wire that goes to the blue/brown double wire normally through the ballast resistor.

    Wire Gauge

    I would go with 8 gauge, you can get a maxi-fuse holder but I wouldn't. Just run the wire as short as possible and protect it with wire braid.

    Wiper switch getting hot

    Is it normal for a variable speed/3 speed wiper motor switch to get quite warm after running for awhile? After, oh say 30 minutes of running, the turn knob of the switch gets pretty warm in my 68 Barracuda. Didn't know if that was normal, or if maybe I had some resistance issues at the...

    You can get relays to do that.

    How to install blower motor relays??

    I'm having a hard time coming up with a way to keep the existing 2 way wiring, one that goes through the A/C-Max A/C and the one that goes through the Heat/Def. Where I currently have my relay, just downstream of the L-M-H switch but before the 3 prong connector won't work when I put it on...

    How to install blower motor relays??

    I was getting a feedback loop through the "High" dark green wire that wasn't allowing the relay to turn off so I think a 20A diode there will fix it, since if I pull the dark green wire off of the resistor pack, everything works great.

    How to install blower motor relays??

    I think I have it figured out, I'll put up some detailed diagrams of what I end up doing. To do it right, you need 4 relays, 3 for A/C mode, and 1 for heat/def mode. As it seems that when on heat/def mode, even high speed runs through 1 of the resistor coils via the 14BR wire instead of...

    How to install blower motor relays??

    I guess I'll see what I can figure out on my own. I will do what most people don't, and actually post back as to the solution, not just say I fixed it without explaining how.

    68 barracuda, but the diagram a few posts up is the same as mine.

    How to install blower motor relays??

    I should add that as soon as I move the switch to medium or low and then turn the key off or put the controls on off it stops working. I thought about trying to figure out where it's backfeeding and put in a diode.

    How to install blower motor relays??

    Can anyone put a diagram, using the wiring diagram from the repair manual a few posts up, and show exactly where to put the relays at? I tried putting a relay using the dk green output from the switch as the trigger wire for the relay and the load output from the relay I butt connectored to the...
