    Here we go again...

    Eureka!! I've found it (I think). Dirty connectors and two loose wires on the firewall wiring harness. I carefully removed the pins (you can squeeze them with a pair of bent needle nose and pull them out from the outer side) and wire brushed them, they were pretty bad, two on the lower harness...

    Thanks I'll check it out, yes it's electronic, do you know how to test the pickup? By the way nice axes, I've got 4 Fenders from 1972 thru 76 and a Mike Tobias custom 5 string...

    Here we go again...

    Back in sept. I had an issue with the mysterious " engine no spark for no apparent reason". Then as if by magic it would go away. Thanks to some good advice from 67Dart273 and trailbeast I seemed to have remedied the problem, but now it's back with a vengence. This is what happens. I let the...

    Speedo problems

    I've changed my speedo gear down to a 16 tooth and am still off about 10-12 mph @ 65. Does anybody know of a way to calibrate the actual speedometer? There is a brass nut, behind it a small lever that holds the gage needle spring, I'm thinking there is to much tension on the spring and should...

    Who what when where?

    thanks I've got ATF-4 in it but it's synthetic and I've heard not so good for older trannys.

    Who what when where?

    1965 push button in the dash A904. What's the best fluid? ATF 4? Dexron? Type F Royal Purple? Too many choices not enough good answers. Help!!!

    5 volts or 9 volts, that is the question...

    My dash voltage limiter has gone to the heavens in my 65 cuda. It's built into the fuel gauge and both the temp and fuel gauges read low new fuel sending unit ohms out correctly. I did some looking around on the net and found out it's a regulated power, either 5 volts or 9 volts. Anybody out...

    Am I crazy or what???

    Think I got it, timing up to 12 degrees btdc helped the low idle in gear vacuum, but the culprit was a stuck or sticking primary throttle valve. It went into its surge issue after running 10 minutes or so, took off the air cleaner and tapped on the valve body covers and zoom, the left one was...

    Am I crazy or what???

    10 degrees btdc. It's a Crane cam that's just slightly over stock no overlap, I'll get the book out for the specs. Funny thing is that I haven't had this problem earlier, when I first got it running all was good no idle issues, just a little lower idle vacuum which I attributed to the slightly...

    Am I crazy or what???

    Yeah, I ain't surprised, that is next after I check the float settings (again). I've had a 65 cuda with a 66 318 in it since 1978. drove it every day til I parked it to restore it in 90. Took all the hot rod stuff off and replaced it all with as much mopar as I could find, even down to the low...

    Am I crazy or what???

    O.K. Been working on my 65' cuda for--ever. On the road, runs great, fixing the last little things, and now I've got an idle surge I can't figure out how to fix. 300-400 rpm surge at running temp, not rhythmic, vacuum fluxes from 12-15 inhg. Otherwise the engine runs great on the road. Been thru...
