Hello everyone, it's been awhile. I've been busy with my Ramcharger, my poor barracuda has been neglected. But I came across someone locally that has, "console linkage from inside down to transmission, several styles dart and challenger all slightly different". When I go over to have a look...

It's actually an 81 Ramcharger I'm working on at the moment, but I was thinking of doing something similar to my Barracuda. I read somewhere on FABO (IIRC) where someone put a small led in the faceplate of the oil pressure gauge. It's what got me going down this path. I had a parts truck for my...

Ok!! Thank goodness I asked. Would have been a drag to have to pull it apart again. :thumbsup:

Ok just to visualize, I'll pull power from choke lead to warning bulb then send it back to the sending unit via pigtail. It'll be grounded through the block at no bring surface. I bought the 192 socket off Amazon it has a negative wire so I just need to cut that wire off then? Thanks again.

Nope. No existing light, I like the idea of a light with the gauge. I'm usually watching the road. I need a bright red light to get me back to reality sometimes! :lol:

Curious on wiring a power source. Should I pull power from the choke to the light and then from the light to the switch (pigtailed together?

I want to add an oil pressure warning light to my dash. What type of fitting should I use to connect both the pressure fitting and the warning fitting to the single port on the engine? Will I need to relocate it? , and does it need to be a specific type of fitting? (ie; does the fitting need to...

Yeah they are gone I never did pick them up. I see parts locally sometimes for a great price but never end up picking them up.I did pick up a pair of complete 69 dart doors for $50 mainly for the window regulators, I was thinking of using them for the 68 Barracuda. But just after I'd bought the...

:thumbsup: Heck I'm gonna try the high temp RTV that Rusty mentioned. I have some anyway. 40 years of success Rusty. Can't argue with that!

Hmm never thought of that. My brain was stuck like a hamster in a wheel on thread locker

Thanks. I guess I should have mentioned that temperature was my main concern in the OP. I know that thread locker would and will seal it, but could be a real bi+ch to remove later on down the road. I'll pick up some of that high temp sealant.

I've used it in for all my high pressure connections with hydraulic and air pressure. Thread locker is an excellent sealant, Check it out, it's pretty cool. What do you use for exhaust studs? My thinking is that the coolant should keep the thread locker from melting? But I'm not quite sure...

What should I use to stop water from leaking from the exhaust studs on small block heads? I've got a few ideas. Red thread locker, muffler cement (says it's good to 850f) JB weld (pretty darn permanent though) i have some thread sealant but I don't think it's high heat, at least it doesn't say...

So I have this air filter housing and I'm trying to find the correct air filter for it. Problem is I absolutely cannot remember where I got it from or what it came off of. I have some pictures, I thought it was off of a B250 so I ordered a filter for it but it didn't fit. PS are there any parts...

Interesting I got mine off of a B300. Also one set is from a 318 definitely one is shorter in length though. Can't remember which came off of what, I think the ones painted blue were from the 318.
