    Transmission fluid leak

    Thanks guys. My 66 cuda is leaking horribly and it used to only have a drip issue. 2 years of sitting while I did interior work must have dried something out.

    wiring question

    I appreciate it but I don't have a wiring diagram of my 66 barracuda. And I still wouldn't be 100% off of my own review of it. But good suggestion, I agree.

    wiring question

    Isn't the fusible link link link 40 amps or something? I have everything running through that under 20 amps, so I'm not too worried about that, my goal is to run most of the new/fun stuff through a new circuit through the firewall anyhow. Thanks, glad there were no immediate objections that I...

    wiring question

    Quick question, if I attached a switch to the 2 posts that were the amp meter instead of bolting or soldering then together. On all would work, off it could be a kill switch/anti theft device no? Am I missing anything with this thought? Thanks

    Ammeter to Voltmeter...who does it?

    Thanks for the discussion on this. I made a gauge swap from amp to volt. I'm now planning to cut and sodder the old amp meter wires and run the voltmeter power off the back of the ignition. Any thoughts or experience (good or bad) is welcome. Thanks

    wiring question

    Hello sir, I just switched my amp meter to a voltmeter. I get that I need the voltmeter power from the ignition and plan to work on that. Does anyone know if there is an easy stop on the gauge cluster to get ignition power without cutting into the wires from the ignition (behind the key)...

    Highest Amp Alternator For a 72 Duster
