The car is a 64 A Body that had a manual transmission which was switched over to a 65 automatic with the floor shifter.

@One Bullet Barney , any idea where I could locate this?

I just brought home a 64 Barracuda that was rebuilt from the ground up. Looking to replace some interior parts that are missing, but can’t seem to find part anywhere. To the left of the Instrument cluster, there is a square panel (see picture) with just the Headlight and Windshield Wiper...

Hi, what gauge wire is on the capacitor that goes to the positive terminal on the coil? I had to relocate the coil on my 72 Valiant to a more accessible spot. Need to splice and solder a new extension wire to original to reach it.

And for the record, the coil I removed was the original one from 1972.

Hey Rusty first off, thanks for showing me exactly where the bolts were and what you used to get them out. Honestly, this car sat outside for 22 years exposed to all weather conditions. I had to spray Gumout and scrape with a flat head screwdriver to clean over a quarter inch of grease and crud...

I can’t even see or feel where the bolts holding the coil bracket are

I removed the 9/16” bolt from top of bracket in first picture. Other bracket bolt is in that really awkward spot. Red circle around each bolt to point them out

This car was taken off the road in 2000. Sat in original owners driveway until I bought it from the family in 2022. I bought it as a project car. Never heard it running. Sat in my garage for 3 years and now after replacing gas tank and a few other things, have it out in my driveway to continue...

Same car and location? How do you even access the clamp that holds the coil?

I’m currently trying to resurrect a car that has been off the road since 2000. Bought a new Coil for it, but see that the existing one is in a really awkward place butted up against the engine block and behind the Alternator. I’m guessing I would need to get the Alternator out in order to access...

Hi all, I’m in need of a rebuild kit for my 2bbl carburetor. Can anyone suggest a link?

Hey all, Just purchased the PerTronix ignition system for my 65 Valiant. I’m not a mechanic, but watched a few YouTube videos to see how they were installed on other cars. But couldn’t find a video showing how it’s done on my engine. I have a basic idea of where to place it in the...

I would think with the LED’s that they wouldn’t get hotter than the standard OEM bulbs. Correct me if I’m wrong.

My cluster panel lights have not been working. Bought the car over a year ago, and other owners obviously did all sorts of work. Fuses are all in order. I pulled the cluster yesterday and took out the bulbs. 5 out of 6 were 194. One was a 158. Did the prior owners put in an incompatible bulb...
