I'm up in Wilmington. I really think this car could use some new wiring and probably a timing adjustment but I've been insanely busy with work so I've been putting it off.
67Dart, It's not coming out of the alternator it's just sitting on top. I think it used to be the temp sensor which has a different wire now.
I also ran a wire off the connection at the resistor in order to get 12V to the the carburetor's automatic choke. That wouldn't change the voltage at...
The fusible link for the upper contact melted. So if I'm reading correctly the problem is not enough resistance in the alternator and replacing the fusible link would not solve the problem. Might as well buy one of those new alts with the built in regulators.
I have the old shift linkage hooked back up now but the transmission still has what I believe is the B&M control lever so when connected to the column the travel of the indicator isn't long enought to line up with PRND12 and now I'm finding there are several control levers out there in various...
Thanks for the help guys. Since I'd rather spend the money on a new fuel sender and whatever will keep this car running cooler I'm going to hook up the old column shifter linkage. Luckily it was in a bag of spare parts that came with the car!
We learn something every day. Previous owner had installed a B&M floor shifter and hooker headers. I dont know how adjustable these cables are but I'm about to find out. The cable was left very long and actually came about an inch or two away from the exhaust so after my third outing with this...
Just following up: I Installed a kickdown cable and today it passed inspection and is now tagged and legal to drive! Now all that's left is replace the fuel sender, speedo, radiator, shocks, and get it painted and sealed up before winter.
I haven't tried that. To be honest I'm not keen on testing the limits of this little 7 1/4 differential. When I was cruising really slow around the neighborhood and I switched it from 2nd to D it really struggled like when you upshift from 1st to 3rd on a stick. I thought switching from 2nd to...
Over a year ago I picked up a Barracuda that was someone's project. They had intended it to be a gasser with a welded diff (which was broken when I got my hands on it) I got it running with a new carb and some minor engine work and replaced the broken spider and ring gears. Now I'm wondering...
Replacing spider gears that the previous own had welded together. I got a new kit from motive gear and it came with this lock pin which is not going to fit. Previous owner used a wood screw. Suggestions? I've also found the right side spacer is cracked. Can I find a new spacer or just stack up...
I got up today and checked the fluid with the engine running, added another quart and looked under the car with the trans in neutral and saw that the shaft was spinning but the wheels were on the ground so that's not good. Gonna pull the cover off after work.
Hey guys, I bought a 66 Barracuda a while back and have been mostly concerned with getting the engine running. Today I decided to see if it would drive around the parking lot so I put it into gear and it didn't budge. The previous owner installed a shift kit (it was originally a steering column...
I'm looking for someone with a set of turn signal indicators that would be open to loaning them to me for a few days so that I can make casts of them. I make moulds and resin casts for a living and I've noticed that these parts are fairly hard to find so having a mould of these handy for folks...
I have a 66 barracuda formula S and the dash is awful. It's cracked, and missing pieces. Are there any alternatives besides building another from scratch? I know the earlier models use different dashes but are they compatible?
Thanks!
