65 Barracuda daily driver
No, it's electronic ignition, electronic voltage regulator and matching alternator. Despite the problems I've been having, my stubbornness is unmatched, so on the way to my band mate's house on the way to a gig the car stalled and wouldn't start. Pushed it off the road next to a red curb (!) and called my band mate to pick me up. Played the gig and got back sometime after midnight. Weird thing is that the battery appeared to have died and it was barely cranking, which hadn't been the issue previously. I had one of those small, but powerful battery packs, that my neighbor borrowed me - hooked it up to the battery and the car started and I was able to drive it all the way home. With very dim headlights and no turn signals - hand signals instead. But amazingly all the way home, about 3 or 4 more miles. Ok, so the charging system seems to be problematic and I still think the new alternator messed everything up. The guy at the parts store didn't really know what he was doing, so when it was tested recently, I think it was showing an error code, but they guy said it was ok. I'll be out of town for a couple of days, but when back I will take Salma to a shop where will get the attention she needs haha. By the way, that dolly has moved furniture, engines, transmissions and bass amps! Also, I followed up on the TTi exhaust and I was told I was going to be shipped on Monday! Still waiting on the rebuilt transmission, but I really want to install the small block this month!
