Unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore. There were some Ford speakers in the rear also and the center speaker was a bit rough and needs rebuilding. Rather than spending the $ on the rebuilds, I put in the aftermarket bluetuth Antique Audio unit and new speakers.

Next ?, what type of paint are people using on the transmission when restoring them?

I saw an article written by someone and they excluded the 11" rear drums from the setup that I have, however, his article appears to have been done in general, so it didn't delve into special orders. I'm not sure where the article and research was from and should have bookmarked it. Now, it's...

Got the inside done, now working on the outside. It was restored back in the early 90's by someone and now I'm taking it the rest of the way. Hopefully have it done by Veteran's day.

It was spec'd w a 8 3/4 w 3.55 gears. However, the rear drum brakes were 11" brakes, which appears to verify what you've said, as the setup as per specs calls for 10" drum brakes. That coupled w the fact that the tranny has a date code of January 22, 1971 and a build date of February 9, 1971...

Can anyone help me out on the correct markings for a 71 Cuda with a 4 speed 3.55?

This is what it looks like rn.

Are you serious? Please let me know if you still have the parts, I'd be willing to purchase em from you. Can you DM me w your info, I'd love to chat w you. Thanks Matt

Now that's something you don't see every day. Nice catch!

Do you have any pics?

Confusion on my part.....you mean the switch isn't plug it in and go? Could this be why I'm chasing myt tail? Every time I fix one thing, another goes wrong. I'm running in circles. Does anyone have a pic of the modification you're talking about? I've put in two new switches...

I just replaced the TS switch. Had multiple gremlins in the system, bad dimmer switch, bad wiper switch, etc. Now, everything works as it should, however, it's dependent on the hazard switch being in the right position. If it's too far in, the turn signal light comes on, if it's too far out...

Did you figure out what the issue was? I'm having the same issue.

@EW1BH27 I am having similar issues as above. This is from a 71 Cuda and has the original wiring harness. The motor - 3431077 The arm - 2822 289 The wiper switch - 2770380 Are these compatable? I've tried 3 different 0380 switches and none work properly. Also tried two different motors.

It seems like it's a situation where you get what you pay for here. Thanks for weighing in.
