65 Barracuda daily driver
Haven't had much time to work on the Barracuda, but the other day the engine shut off while driving - luckily it was just in a parking lot and not on the freeway. Turns out the nut holding the positive wire in place came off the stud, because there was almost no thread left. I was able to fix it temporarily, but decided to replace the coil. First I thought about replacing it with a Pertronix Flamethrower or a MSD Blaster, but none were available locally and it's not really a race car and so I just went with Napa Echlin IC27 that cost me about 30 bucks. I bolted it in and now the car starts immediately at the turn of the key and idles much smoother and also runs better than it ever has. I'm almost happy that I was finally forced to fix it!
