1965 Barracuda......advice needed.....

[Banjoman09]

Why don't you try ordering one for a 66 Barracuda from Rock auto. I'm thinking that would help solve your problem. Also
make sure your wheel is pointed straight ahead when installing the new switch. Is your wheel centered when driving,??. If not that will affect how the switch cancels out when turning back straight, .

Yes.....always centered when wheels are straight; I will try Rock and see....thanks.

I tried to look it up- I dont see it. You may have to give a part number please....on Rock?

Maybe we are on the wrong foot; that is the spring that goes on the back of the wheel. Maybe a canceling cam; but I need the switch. Thanks.

Yeah, you are correct. My fault. I should have known when I saw that spring thing with the part number we were looking at!

Theres something funny going on here; I have ordered two of those switch's and they are NOT like mine; #2822170. My switch is larger than these replacement switches. Thanks.

 

[pishta]

so they are smaller..will they absolutely not work? Is the ID the same? Got any pics of both installed with the obvious issues identified? Thats a stumper....

 

[Banjoman09]

I did post two pics on page one- thanks.

Banjo man
The switch # for a 66 B-Cuda is listed under "interior", as a turn signal cam. Std PN# is [email protected]. Airtex wells PN is 1S7689 (TSR105) @ $2979. Those are both large cam switches.
They worked for me on my 66.
If you order use discount code #8779793779044641 in the "how did you here about us" ox at check out.

Thank you much/ will check it out in morning!

 

[Banjoman09]

Dave- I looked at these; they are only the "cam"...and I need the whole switch! Any more ideas? Thanks!

 

[Banjoman09]

So are you saying that the "cam" at rock is actually the whole switch? Thanks

 

[grimreaper]

I finally found the information on the replacement turn signal cancel cam. This guy got fed up with the quality of what is available and made some high quality replacements. I'm not sure this is still current but it is what I found in the packages of my spares.
A good cam is made by David Koldos (115 Hill Ave, Elgin, IL 60120-4412, (847) 888-2652 )

Hi- if I can close this post I will- tell me how? Maybe you can look at my "second post" under this one....thanks!

I purchased mine from Napa after frustrating experience with online orders.
Had it in stock and matched mine perfectly.

If the plastic is broke and you still have the pieces you can weld it back together with mek. I rebuild my 69 chargers grill using this stuff. Just google mek and buy a small can from depot. Then try to find some of the same type plastic and melt it in the mek and then apply to broke pieces. Good as new.

MEK is great stuff. I've seen the pics of your repairs using it.

For folks that haven't used it, be EXTREMELY cautious with it. It's flammable and don't inhale the stuff.
