You might make sure that the b-body manifold will clear the steering on the drivers side.

I made my own with a couple of $5 relays. Not very hard if your under hood wiring is in reasonable shape and not too brittle.

Spray some Kroil on the drain plugs and let it sit for a day

I just adjusted mine. Very difficult to get to. I also took the front seat out, makes it much easier. I had my son hold the switch bracket with a screwdriver while I tightened the bolt.

Haha, famous last words…..

$33 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IVKZMS/?tag=fabo03-20 I have bought both of these.

I use gaskets between the heads and exhaust manifolds. Can’t think of a good reason not to.

Also made a calibration box that will work on oil, gas and temperature senders to show low medium and high ( empty, half, full) also available for loan

I don't understand this comment. Getting the gage to read empty when it is empty doesn’t compensate for proper operation.

I used a Meter Match on mine to calibrate the aftermarket sender to the gauge. Not perfect, but works pretty good. I also made a calibration box so you can calibrate the Meter Match without adding or removing gas from the tank. It is available for loan.

I wouldn’t think the long arm vs the short arm would be s big deal. The arm can be bent to sweep the same range. However the non linear winding on the potentiometer that is designed to compensate for the spare tire cutout is a big deal. That can’t be adjusted out by bending the sender arm.

I have a flowkooler on my 360 and it seems to work well. Also went to a high flow thermostat, 7 blade clutch fan and shroud.

If it really is non linear, then this could be a big improvement.

Sounds like the classic ballast resistor symptom. Can you jumper across it temporarily and see if the car runs?

I added a vacuum pump and it helped mine some.

My favorite tool for finding a battery drain is a small bulb, like a dash light bulb. If you have one in a socket with wires on it it is easy. Take off the negative cable. Hook up one wire from the bulb to the negative battery post and the other wire to the negative battery cable. It will...

How about a picture?

Fix one thing, break another often means you disturbed sometime else accidentally when you were working. Look around in areas where you were working. Wiggle stuff in that area and have someone watch headlights. This is a non scientific cheap shot, but it works sometimes…..

Yeah, I tried that. Pretty hard to get to. Moved it about 1/10 of a turn. May have to take exhaust manifold off again to get to it.

Interesting. Looks like a better design than the fake transistor ones. A lot may depend on how well they heat sink the transistor. Can’t really tell from the pictures. When looking at something like this, keep in mind that a lot has changed in the world of semiconductors since the 70s. Most of...

Anybody tried to solve this while the box is still in the car?

My power steering box on my 69 barracuda appears to be leaking around the top cover and the castellated nut that is about 3 inches in diameter. This is the hemispherical cover where the adjustment screw is. I just had the box out to replace the leaking steering wheel shaft seal. It was all so...

One of my son’s friends buys junkyard LS engines, slaps them in his car with a turbo and runs them till they go bang. Then does it over again. Doesn’t even pull a valve cover.

I think the 71 was a spread bore manifold, so that one is different. Seems like there are used aluminum manifolds around not much more than the repair cost. Shipping is a killer though.

Yep, tie to the orange wire, that is dash lights.

Base on the information provided, I would think $32k is a good price for the car. Keep in mind you are not a retailer and will likely not get retail prices for parts. Your question probably depends on how much your time is worth. Do you have the time, skill and space to store a car that may...

You can buy good performing car stereos on Amazon for $30. These are small and don’t have cd players generally. Don’t sweat the odd names. The name brands cost 5-10 times more and are just about the same thing.

I have used these under / behind the seat before. They work great!https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019Z3RFGY/?tag=fabo03-20

I bought the kick panels for the speakers. I bought the ones for the oval speakers as I think the sound better. Buy the speakers separate. You will get better quality speakers cheaper than the ones that come with the kick panels. The only down side with the kick panel speakers is that the vent...
