    71 Cuda vinyl top trim

    I have a 71 Cuda that I bought that had been restored by the previous owner. It has a vinyl top on it. I've noticed that the chrome trim from the bottom of the vinyl top does not end at the chrome drip rail on the roof (there is about a 1/2" spacing). Do I have the right vinyl top trim or is...

    Non starting issue

    Battery had about 10 1/2 volts with my multi meter. When jumped, does start to turn over slowly. Battery died?

    Non starting issue

    My 71 Cuda has decided to not start. It has started and ran fine up until a week ago. When I turn the key, the seat belt buzzer and dome light come on like always, the engine attempts to briefly turn over and then I lose all power to the car (seat belt buzzer doesn't work and dome light isn't...

    Rim Blow Steering Wheel

    Does anyone know, was the center cap with the fish emblem offered on the 71 Cuda or was it a 70 option only? Thanks

    Charging problem

    OK guys, I took all the wires loose from the voltage regulator, bulkhead connectors, ballast resistor, alternator and battery and cleaned and lubed everything and re-installed. I also checked all the grounds for tightness. After I put everything back together and re-started, it now runs as it...

    Charging problem

    I'm going to try and ground the alternator from where the green wire connects to see what it puts out when grounded (hopefully 16v). What size wire should I use? Should I ground it to the block?

    Charging problem

    OK, I tested the wiring between the regulator and the alternator again. When I tested the first time, I did not disconnect the wiring from the alternator, but had disconnected the boot from the voltage regulator. This time, I disconnected the green wire from the alternator and inserted my...

    Charging problem

    I checked the resistance again (with the battery negative disconnected and the boot disconnected from the voltage regulator). I found the resistance across the ballast resistor to be 1.5 ohm. I found the resistance from the green wire to the disconnected boot to be 5.1 ohm and the resistance...

    Charging problem

    How do I make a connection with my multi meter into the "boot" with the 2 colored wires at the voltage regulator? If I touch the side of the female connector inside the boot, will that complete the circuit at the alternator if I'm on the same wire at the alternator? Or is there some sort of...

    Charging problem

    OK, I checked the resistance between the stud on the alternator and the + battery post with the negative battery cable removed and there was no resistance (.000 ohms). I then checked the ballast resistor (with the negative cable still removed) and the reading across the resistor was .001 ohms...

    Charging problem

    I haven't found it yet. I replaced the voltage regulator and alternator with no change. The voltage regulator has a grounding strap that is bolted to the block using one of the trans bolts. I also charged the battery and it holds 12.2 volts for a couple of days (without the car running) so it...

    Charging problem

    I've recently purchased a 71 Cuda (340 4 speed) and found myself stranded on a couple of occasions because the battery didn't have enough oompf to turn the starter over. I've charged the battery and attempted to perform a few tests. I tested the electronic voltage regulator by attaching a...

    New in St Lou

    Hello to all. I'm new to this site and decided to join as I'm on the verge of buying my first classic in many years. I'm currently looking at buying a 71 Cuda convertible. While I haven't picked up a wrench in over 25 years, this car has me more than a little excited (the car's completely...
