    Where to find 65 barracuda wiring harness

    M&H produces harnesses that are EXACTLY like the factory harness - same connectors, same wire colors. You can use your factory wiring diagrams to diagnose issues. Be sure to call M&H before buying - they don't sell direct, but they are the most knowledgeable in finding the correct harness...

    how to bench test a 70 Dart instrument cluster?

    Update - the new replacement gauges are considerably different that the stock ones, and are, I believe, superior in function. The issue is that the IVR for the new replacement gauges is different than the IVR made for the stock gauges and the two cannot be mixed. You have to be clear which...

    Spark plug wire routing for a 340 small block.

    I don't know what exhaust system you have, but anything that is even vaguely shaped like a drivers side 68-70 340 manifold those would not work with - wires need to stay higher then drop right down to the plugs. I have seen various header routings that stay above the head ports that would have...

    I need some fuel sending unit experts please

    you have to be careful with the new IVR units and the new gauges. There are transistorized IVRs that are made to work with stock gauges, and identical looking IVRs that are made to use with the new replacement gauges. The two cannot be mixed. Call the company that makes the IVRs to discuss.

    Sealed Beam Headlights

    Yeah, lets install ridiculously bright headlamps so we can blind everyone coming towards us (even on low beam) and get our cars wrecked when the oncoming traffic can't see anything... This trend has gotten way out of hand.

    Factory ammeter

    So a lot of folks have a gauge cluster under the dash, so I have been installing a high quality, modern ammeter (along with a volt meter) under the dash for some time. You can use he original ring connectors and then just leave the factory ammeter in the dash for looks. Between the ammeter and...

    Odell IL on Rt 66

    Part of what I liked about 66 is that a lot of the restoration and preservation work, even the Rt 66 museums, tend to be local efforts by primarily volunteer organizations. It keeps the vintage feel of a lot of these places alive...

    Rear window defroster

    My 1970 Swinger came with a rear window defogger from the factory. Pulls air through one of the rear deck speaker grilles and blows it out through a long slot vent in the center of the rear deck. No heat involved, but it does a great job of circulating the warming air in the cabin to blow on...

    Spark plug wire routing for a 340 small block.

    Straight boots don't have to be a mess... I think the key is the 2 wire loom for the front wires in about the location of the original factory valve cover looms and then a 4 wire loom at the back to set that up:

    67 Barracuda Heavy Electric Load

    Unless it's wired to a source that is always hot. You could disconnect the battery and see if the needle stays in the middle or drops toward D, right? I think that I would disconnect the power wires related to the fan set up and then see how the ammeter reacts. I think that would tell you if...

    67 Barracuda Heavy Electric Load

    That does not sound like an ammeter. Right after start up with an ammeter the needle should head toward C as the system recharges the battery. Either the gauge has been converted to a voltmeter, or the alternator is not charging to recuperate the system after the drain to spin the motor.

    67 Barracuda Heavy Electric Load

    OP - Does the wiring for the regulator (wires to triangular plug) appear to be a part of the M&H harness (wires coming out of the wrapped harness)? If so, again, I would bet that the upgrade to the later voltage regulator was done by having M&H build it that way, which is an option that they...

    What is this part.

    back to post 6 - not the defrost, but the rear air circulation fan in the package tray that blows internal air on the back window. The bezel below the switch should say "REAR AIR". Do you have a blower fan under your package tray (look in trunk)?

    67 Barracuda Heavy Electric Load

    wires are sized by load. Stock wires were sized by Chrysler to handle the load that they were built with. There are ways to isolate additional loads from things like electric fans, but they can't just be patched in to the original circuits without bad results. Is there an amp gauge in the...
