1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration
Dash is now out
The bulkhead connector suffered the dreaded meltdown a couple of years ago. I will definitely be eliminating that problem during the restoration!!! Will involve several modifications:
1. Send the instrument cluster to Redline to have the ammeter bypassed and converted to a voltmeter. (Will also have them convert the voltage regulator for the gauges to solid state plus some other restoration work)
2. Install an 8 Ga wire from the alternator direct to the starter relay battery terminal and install headlight relays in the engine compartment to remove a lot of load from the bulkhead connector. These were purchased from "crackedback" on FABO. His kits are top quality and well engineered.
