Yup, good grounds are important. I added two grounds from the instrument panel frame to the chassis.

Before pulling the instrument panel please disconnect the battery. And Dana is correct, check the light switch "dimmer" switch. All the way counterclockwise just before the click to turn on the dome light.

It just doesn't make sense. I think you're right...voodoo.

. Steve, I've sorta been following along. I haven't driven my car in a couple weeks. Out of town for work and way too hot. So, today I get in, fire it up and the damn tach is reading high :BangHead:. It shows idle around 2K when I know for a fact it's not over 800. On my drive I had it...

My first look would be the starter relay for a ground.

@Wrivera that's a very generous offer from @Mattax. He knows wiring, for sure!! Shoot Mattax a PM and touch base at least. Thank you for your Service!! I'm retired Air Force myself. Never stationed at McGuire / Fort Dix though.

Thete was a FABO member selling starter stud relocation kits that put the studs horizontal. Haven't looked to see if you can buy them anywhere else. [SOLD] - Mini Starter Terminals

Should bolt right in!!

The dimmer switch is where I would start. I remember having an issue years ago. Can't remember if I replaced the dimmer switch, or cleaned up the contacts. My memory isn't the best....too much fun the late 70's early 80's...

Awesome, glad you found the issue. Do you think it was a combination of both?

Let us know how the eddy works. Hopefully that will clear it up!

I just watched your videos. Sure does seem like the can is putting in mega amount of advance.

Steve, Usually, Vacuum Advance is not "figured" in on Total Timing. Generally, we look for something around 34⁰ Total without vacuum advance. We set timing with vacuum advance disconnected. Most folks set Total and let Initial fall wherever it lands. Initial + Mech = Total Or Total -...

My 5.9 likes a ton of initial also. Funny, I was just working on my timing today. I set it back to 20 and I'll see how the plugs look after some drive time. The plugs definitely showed too much timing at 30. It got me to thinking about accuracy of the timing light and I found this thread. No...

Thank you! Oh yeah, those protesters were fun, lol. I've seen some recent pictures of Greenham and it doesn't hardly look the same. Glad to see the American car scene is going strong. Electric cars....our president is trying to shove them down our throats also. Maybe some day they will...

@exile uk I served three years (1987-1990) at RAF Greenham Common in Newberry, Berkshire. Had a great time visiting around England and Wales. Some day I'll make a trip back to visit.

Yes, 0.6 ohm coil without a ballast resister.

I really like this article. Take your time and read it through. I used the 7805 digital voltage regulator to feed 5 volts to my fuel and temp gauges. Get Engauged: So you think your oil pressure...

Yeah, that hood paint is astonishing!

...and because the Amp meter is always hot, be sure to disconnect the battery.

Where are pulleys measured? Is it the diameter of the entire pulley or is it the bottom of the "V" slot?

Good thinking!! I still have the original braided ground from head to firewall, but added 3 additional grounds for good measure. One from battery to core support, one from instrument panel to dash, and one from fuel sending unit to frame.

Oops, forgot the link. I bought one similar to this off ebag. It's been going well for 3 or 4 years. Mopar Voltage Regulator Electronic Solid State & Correct Restoration Look | eBay.

Two changes fixed the flickering lights on my 66 Barracuda.: 1. Bought a headlight relay kit from @crackedback. Really quality stuff and if you need any assistance, he is willing to help. 2. I bought a solid state voltage regulator similar to the link. I keep my original in the trunk in...

Rick Seaman is a FABO member. Not sure if he does factory restoration on radios but he does upgrades inside the factory case. https://www.ricksradioconversions.com/prices.html

My 66 Barracuda fuse box attaches with one Phillips screw into the bracket. Never noticed how the bracket attaches. BUT it is a BIOTCH getting the fuse box lined up on the bracket.

Search for a wiring diagram for your car. Mymopar.com had them but they recently revamped the site and I haven't been on much since. I don't know about the 73, perhaps there is a trace on the circuit board that connects when you cinch down the nut. That's how the 66 fuel gauge gets power...

@slantsixdan posted a link to them awhile back. I bought a few from that company and they were great. I'll see if I can find the link.

Work through what Del, @67Dart273, posted. I know it seems like a lot but take it one step at a time. If you have a question about one step or need additional information about a step...just ask.

My guess is @cosgig would have one.
