    4 pole ballast resistor/electronic ignition

    I carry them around with me too, but I also carried them around 40 years ago when my 'Cuda was a daily driver. They always went bad, especially the module. The first time it went bad I was more than 100 miles from home and thank god I still had the old distributor with points in the trunk! I...

    Still using an ammeter, but it doesn't work? Might be good to check wiring soon.

    It's so scary to let someone else work on your car. So glad you didn't have a fire!

    Parking Brake Pedal Doesn't return

    My car was doing this. I just had to adjust the length of the cable. There was too much slack in it. There is an adjustment under the floor pan. This is not the correct diagram, but it is similar. I had to shorten the cable and the pedal returned when released. The parking brake works perfectly...

    Excellent suggestion. 👍

    Seat Belts 70 Barracuda

    Thanks. Those look good, but no one seems to have them. I ordered some C01s and I'm going to try to put some collars on them.

    Seat Belts 70 Barracuda

    Speaking of bolts, has anyone had an issue with the shoulders being too long on the C11 bolts used for the rear seatbelts on the sides? A couple of years after I replaced the front belts I decided to replace the back seatbelts. I had a terrible time getting the rear seat out. Then after I...

    Seat Belts 70 Barracuda

    I just used the bolts that were already there. Since you seem to be missing the shoulder bolts, the correct ones are given in MoparCarGuy's post above: a C11. If you decide to put the reel under the carpet, you have to use one that does not have to be level, or it will not work properly. If you...

    1970 Challenger trans question

    I agree. It doesn't cost that much to rebuild a 727.

    Seat Belts 70 Barracuda

    The factory shoulder belts are unusable. They don't retract and you are trapped. I replaced mine with a three point harness. If you put the reel under the carpet in place of the original lap belt reel it looks as if it came from the factory. I used the original shoulder belt mounting point for...

    Exterior emblems...

    Same here. Heat guns always took them off. After reading these I am grateful that I bought original emblems at the dealer in the 1980s. They still look brand new.

    Gauge Restoration

    That sounds great. I will do that.

    Gauge Restoration

    Yes, that was the first thing I did when it was jumping around. First I lubricated it, then I replaced it and had the same problem. But thank you for bringing it up. Who knows, it may be twisted or something. It's definitely worth a try.

    Gauge Restoration

    Thank you. The tach is good. I had it refurbished back in the 90s. My problem is neither the clock or the speedometer work. Another of my hobbies is antique furniture, including clocks. While I have only repaired 19th century mechanical clocks, I may be able to figure out this clock, but I don’t...

    Gauge Restoration

    Thank you. Unfortunately this is who my friend said he had so many problems with.
