    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Looks pretty decent. Could become a good driver or whateer you'ld want. These days it seems like its all about creating us and them. A lot of folks eat that up. Grievence culture - all created by 'them' Seems common these days that entertainers are assumed to be great philosophers of our time.

    That's a part of being a family, or in more academic terms 'esprit de corp' Sometimes it goes too far, but that's pretty harmless.

    69 barracuda convertible has no dash lights or inside lights when you open the door

    67-69 barracuda the main cable should go from the bulkhead through at least two support clips before entering the fusebox.

    69 barracuda convertible has no dash lights or inside lights when you open the door

    If the FSM diagram is correct, then in your '69 cigar lighter feed X1 and parking light feed L8 come from the same fuse. The fuse list in the 69 FSM says the same. Turn signals are not fused in '69. Turn signals are on a branch of the switched accessory feed Q2. They all share the feed Q3...

    69 barracuda convertible has no dash lights or inside lights when you open the door

    The '69 FSM wiring diagram shows L8 as stop and tail. That labelling is not correct. L8 goes directly to the B2 terminal on the headlight switch. It powers the parking and tail lights, and through the subcircuit starting at the reohstat the instramentation and radio lamp. Stop (brake) lights...

    Here's an explanation of the headlight switch and how the parking lights relate to the instrument lights, and the dome/interior lamp circuits. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/68-barracuda-instrument-lights-not-working.539461/post-1974282292 Here's a 67 convertible with similar...

    69 barracuda convertible has no dash lights or inside lights when you open the door

    You can poke around if you're looking at what is contacting what. Or you can do some diagnosing. Lets start here: Does the headlight switch turn on the dome light? and What does the parking light have in common with the dash instrument lights? -> How did you determine the fuse is good?

    Nominal DC Current Draw?

    Ammeter reads 40 discharge to 40 amps charge With engine oiff, key off, headlights should show about 10+ amps discharge depending on lamp type and whether parking lights go off with headlights on. Vehicle with H4 lamps and sidemarker lamps...

    Nominal DC Current Draw?

    Aw common guys. I've posted this more than once. Both for diagnosing resistance in a circuit and for planning on loads an alternator needs to be able to supply. Do a search. I can't stay on this website and risk having it crash my system - which

    PLEASE HELP IM IN DIRE STRAIGHTSNo spark MSD but test fine what am i missing!

    How could we know that green was blue? and that tan was connected to J2-16DBL* ? We could only tell you based on the info you provided. You should have enough info now to figure it out. I certainly can't see what you have there.

    PLEASE HELP IM IN DIRE STRAIGHTSNo spark MSD but test fine what am i missing!

    Basically Yes. Power in ignition 1 (wire J2) and ignition 2 (wire J3) is used to signal the MSD to turn on. Ignition 1 is power to run the engine and that includes the alternator. One branch goes to the regulator so the regulator knows the system voltage. Another branch goes to a field...

    PLEASE HELP IM IN DIRE STRAIGHTSNo spark MSD but test fine what am i missing!

    I don't k now where what wires have been snipped. Joining the J2 & J3 is fine with an MSD, although not neccessary. My diagram is just a rework of the circuits of interest based on the factory diagram. According to the diagram The ignition feed went to a welded splice. I don't know if that's...

    PLEASE HELP IM IN DIRE STRAIGHTSNo spark MSD but test fine what am i missing!

    All wires connected to the battery positive are hot even with key off. Alternator output is R6 and that you tell us is connected. Field wires J2 branch and R3 connect to the spade terminals on the alternator. The J2 (blue) comes from a splice in the J2 circuit. R3 must go to the...

    It needs to be wired in. Charge the battery on a charger before restarting with the alternator circuit wired up. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/charging-battery-with-alternator-warning.424783/#post-1972341430

    PLEASE HELP IM IN DIRE STRAIGHTSNo spark MSD but test fine what am i missing!

    The running voltage should be between 13.9 and 14.8 depending on temperature. It should not increase in with rpm. It should be the same everywhere in the main feeds. Just as important is the battery draw or discharge. The ammeter should be at zero (centered) most of the time. It should show...

    Left Parking Light Stays on

    The fact that lamp turns on when the key is in run (and start???) makes me think its somehting other than a ground problem. More so if this still occurred with the headlight switch connector removed from the switch. Put the key in accessory position and see if it still occurs. With key in...

    Remove the green wire and cap it. You'll need to figure out what the previous owner did there. That's an F_Up. The heavy black wire connection is better on the engine but it should work as drawn. The MSD 6 unless they've got junky will start with far less than 12 Volts. Go place a voltmeter...

    Left Parking Light Stays on

    It could be a poor ground at the socket or the bulb base to the socket (less likely but happens). However the fact it is on when the switch is off makes me suspicious. https://www.web.imperialclub.info/Repair/Lit/Master/236/page01.htm You can do some checks so you're not throwing darts...

    I think the the only way to learn is observation. Keeping it real neat and orderly helps too. I didn't do that this year. There's lettuce, raddishes, peas, carrots from last fall, some greens going to seed, and hakuri turnips that are also going to seed for reasons I don't know. nasturtium is...
