It's a handy little tool. Saves a lot of frustration.

Best $8.19 you'll ever spend. https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-65750-Windshield-Tool/dp/B000CODS80

Probably blew the fusible link. Low battery voltage will result in higher current draw across the link.

You need to find someone that specializes in vinyl repair. The upholstery shops I contacted trying to find someone to fix a dash pad I had out of a Cuda wouldn't touch it either. I ended up finding a guy who ran an independently owned business as part of the "Fibrenew" franchise. He did a great...

Looking for an OE trunk latch for a 73 Barracuda. Plus the rod if you have that too. Thanks, Bret

If the timing chain jumped a tooth retarding the cam, the ignition timing will be way off as well since the distributor is driven by the camshaft. Something to look for.

Have you considered the possibility of a blocked exhaust? Maybe a heat riser valve stuck shut? Or along those lines an EGR valve that's stuck open.. or since you had mentioned messing around with the vacuum lines early on, maybe inadvertently hooking a vacuum line that has full manifold vacuum...

"I added a ton of premium fuel and additives over that 1400 mile trip" Those additives likely consisted of a fair amount of alcohol that may have caused any rust in the fuel tank to let loose and find it's way to the carb. Not saying you didn't rebuild the carb correctly, but it's easy to leave...

Already have the levers but will consider anything you might have. Thanks, Bret

3M adhesive spray on both sides. Don't be in a hurry. Follow the directions and allow the spray to get tacky. Once it stuck down, place some small welding magnets on the overlay in a few places. The magnets do a great job of clamping the aluminum overlay to the metal backing plate. Prior to...

Go to any Mopar show and people of all ages crowd around the e-body Challengers. The others, not so much...

Sounds like you've pretty much exhausted the "throwing parts at it" method of troubleshooting. :) I'd suggest finding a competent shop that does diagnostics and have them hook up an oscilloscope to the engine. Misses at idle are usually simple to diagnose. It's the intermittent misses or the...
