Good afternoon all.
I am in want of a fuel gauge for a 1966 Barracuda. The voltage regulator doesn't have to work, HOWEVER the gauge itself to the sending unit needs to work.
Thank you
Thank you and everyone else for all your help. Hopefully the new limiter and new board will solve some issues. Just wish I didn't have to wait on parts this close to end of season in NY.
That was going to ne my next question. Would it be better to use the caps instead of the ting terminals? And where do you find such a wire. Also need to find a board with the third hole.
Welp, it appears my cruising season is over. Tore the dash down and installed a spare fuel gauge I had. The original one had the wire for the gauge broken and the other issues with the limiter. I picked up a limiter from classic industries(complete junk) hooked it up everything worked as it...
As far as I've researched the 66 barracuda has the limiter in the fuel guage. I've had this dash apart before and located no external limiter. Also if I have my information correct based on previous posts. To install the external i just need to cut the wire inside the fuel gauge then hook a lead...
1966 Barracuda.
Does the IVR have any effect on the rest of the dash? Recently my fuel gauge stopped working but the rest of the dash was working properly. Last night driving my car home. The temp gauge will not go above the cold line. While running and the oil pressure will not go above the...
1966 Barracuda, I loaded the car up on my trailer to bring it home. The fuel gauge worked when I loaded it up. I unload at my home the needle pegs to the full then fell right out past E. The temp sensor guage is working as normal. I picked up a new fuel sending unit as im going to put a new tank...
Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a 1966 Plymouth price schedule book either original or remake. Also looking for restoration guide for 1966 Barracuda.
Thanks
UPDATE!!
I replaced the alternator and redid the connectors going to it. The car now charges when I hit the throttle. Unsure if it is a thing with old cars or not but it doesn't read 13+volts at idle. Also the ammeter works as it should shows draw when I turned on the radio,wipers, lights. I...
DAMN BULK HEAD CONNECTION!!
Upon doing a more extensive inspection of the R6 wire at the bulk head I noticed it was corroded beyond belief inside the plastic housing. To the point that I cannot get the wire out without cutting. Sprayed cleaner and worked at it about. Finally got same current...
In addition I just tested with car in run position:
Battery 10.6
Blue wire @ voltage regulator 9.8
Green wire @ regulator 7.8
Black battery wire @ alternator 5.6
Green wire @ alternator 7.8
Ammeter 10.2 on red 10.0 on black
Im attaching some photos of the alternator (the connector at the alt...
