    73 barracuda tries to run only in the start position.

    Next if you have good voltage at the red wire. Unplug the yellow wire in the starter relay. Turn key to start and check both sides of the brown wire. The brown wire from the plug, feeds slot 22 the brown wire from the firewall to the ballast. Here again. If there is not the correct voltage on...

    73 barracuda tries to run only in the start position.

    There could be a 1 volt loss. That better than 6.5v coming from slot 22 the brn wire. Check the red wire at the plug under the steering column. Keep it plugged in. use a Paper clip if need be. And check both sides of the plug. If there is not the correct voltage on both sides. Unplug and...

    73 barracuda tries to run only in the start position.

    In short. 1:RED wire 16 Battery power yellow dot to splice one feeds fuse block. Check the battery terminal at the fuse bottom of the fuse block for voltage. If it's not same there as the battery, there's a bad connection at 16. Don't forget to check the motor and chassis ground by the...

    73 barracuda tries to run only in the start position.

    Follow the dots. Understand how it's wired first. Blue charge circuit, yellow battery supply, red ACC circuit. Headlight sw is feed from splice one under dash. One word explains the wiring and connections. Inadequate! Read Description and follow the dots. The wiring is not heavy enough and the...

    Lower valance trim and lower grill section, was it an option on 72-74 Challenger?

    I could be dead wrong on this. Someone was telling me. Sometime ago I came across that. It seem to me it was more so if it was a coupe, hardtop or part of a package. Some packages were only available with a certain model. Did the Deputy get it? I think for 71 it was A46 69-71 Molding Package...

    Engine idle not working

    Is there an electric choke on that? The factory manual would show how to trouble shoot it. Not sure how to do that. I would have to check. Other than in a x period of time it should open.

    Choke working correctly?

    Engine idle not working

    I'm sure there are others watching. They too will chime in. I tend to agree with that. It's valve train related. Lifters collapsed , pushrods, rockers arms or lose shaft? Or the timing chain jumped. When you get through the electrical check. Keep in mind anything can happen. Then you know...

    Engine idle not working

    Not that this is your problem. Yet, If there is low voltage from the system I will not run good, I'm putting it here so you have it. At the battery the voltage should read 12.3 -12.5 v give or take. When charging it should be 14 v. Depending on the load. This is for stock Mopar charging...

    Engine idle not working

    I would say the plugs are good. It looks like there were on a long good run. Might be a bit hot or lean. But then I had plugs that look good but they were cracked.

    You figured the video out. It's there.

    Engine idle not working

    That would eliminate the cars wiring, with the exception of the wires to the distributor, coil and ICM. And the grounds. The battery and alternator is good right! You could run a wire to ground bolts of the ICM and Voltage regulator then to the motor and or to the battery, there is a motor...
