With the wire off of the sending unit, you should be completely disconnecting the circuit, but apparently there is still enough current flow to make the gauge to register over half full. Maybe a weak short to ground in the wiring between the gauge and sending unit terminal? Are you running a...

With the key off, does the gauge drop to empty or does it stay at just over half?

Yeah, I gotta admit that I get a weird sense of satisfaction out of cleaning up old crusty fasteners and then threading them back in by hand. I sometimes think that my Lang thread restorer set might be the most used set of tools in my garage. Lots of memories of wrenching with my dad when he...

"I chased all the threads so everything could be hand tightened." It's reassuring to know that there are others out there with this OCD tendency...

No, it was originally GK6, Autumn Bronze Metallic.

I used to own it's Plymouth cousin...

Maybe an excuse to buy another tool... https://www.homedepot.com/p/Channellock-12-in-PVC-and-Oil-Filter-Tongue-and-Groove-Plier-212/332482602?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US

I was curious about the potential differences, so bought AMD and OER bumpers for my Cuda this summer. Based on the numbers stamped on the back, it appears to me that they are produced by the same manufacturer, although the back side of the AMD bumpers had a different finish. The AMD bumpers...

:thumbsup: Very nice!! Would be cool to see some pics of it from back in your high school days.

Set of original 1972-74 Cuda Challenger cowl vent screens, part numbers 3500760 and 3500761. Good condition with no missing or broken tabs or cracks. Some minor overspray on both pieces. $65 for the set, plus shipping. Parts located in Seattle, WA

Hopefully your original carpet is still in good shape. Would be a cool and seemingly pretty unique feature of these early build cars to be able to retain.

Looking forward to it. I have been following your build thread. You have a very cool car (even cooler now that I know it's an early build car) and I'm definitely jealous of how clean that thing is, being a So. Cal car.:thumbsup:

Thank you! I wasn't aware of the carpet issues either until I switched mine. After opening the box I started ranting online about "incorrect" reproduction parts and got a bunch of responses from guys asking WTF I was talking about, stating that the partial ribbed heel pad was correct, and...

Cool, IIRC, you would be the fourth instance I'm aware of to support this 1970 early build variation. At least three of the four were Barracuda/Cudas, but not sure about the last one.

Oops, fixed it. The 5 that I added to the end is actually in the Build to Spec. For column. @Surfcuda, any chance that you have the original carpet still in your car? I have seen a few cases now where early build 70 cars like ours had carpet with a different rubber heel pad than was used on...

I found the Broadcast Sheet for BH27G0B116007 in the back of one of my seats.

I would use this, Rust Prevention Magic (RPM - 8 oz.) Seems kinda spendy for a 4 or 8 ounce can, but a little goes a long way.

:welcome: Nice score!

:welcome: Great story! I also bought a 70 E-Body 383 four speed car when I was a senior in high school and still have it, but mine wasn't nearly as nice as yours and still isn't almost 40 years later...:( Looking forward to some present day pics of the red car and some of the purple one too!

Have they always been inaccurate, or is this something that changed more recently? I'm betting on bad ground connections between the temp and oil pressure sending units and the block. Maybe someone used teflon tape or too much sealant on the threads? If they have always been inaccurate, you...
