    WTB Road lamp bulb

    You can get an aftermarket LED bulb that has the glass flutes which appear much like the stock bulbs. LEDs draw very little current and provide a LOT more light output in lumens. They are PAR36 12V DC bulbs and they fit the road lamp housing. Bargain price, too. The application is landscaping...

    Shoulder Belts

    The shoulder belts on E-Bodies are pretty much useless. They cut into your neck due to the horrible mounting point locations. I theorize this was due to a Chrysler belief that they could meet the DOT requirement without a huge effort AND the fact that very few people wore seat belts at the time...

    borgeson power steering

    Same for me, Peter at Bergman Auto Craft is the go-to guy for the Borgeson PS swap. Factory pressure hose fits perfectly with Peter's adapter fittings for return line and pressure hose from pump to box (see below). Most have the Saginaw pump. And the box clears TTI 1-7/8" 440 headers in case...

    E-Body shock absorber selection

    Recently installed the Bilsteins on my 70 Cuda. Best shocks I have ever had. Pricey but you really do "get what you pay for" with suspension. LINK to Front and Rear Kit

    The 1970 Service Manual has diagrams. 1971 may be similar. Check the 1971 Plymouth Service Manual to find out. LINK to Service Manuals for download 1970 diagrams below.

    Windshield Wiper Switch

    Additional info for those troubleshooting their 3-speed (variable) wiper motor functionality. The internal PARK switch is inside the wiper motor's gear drive section and is located under the cover with three (3) x flathead hold-down screws. It is a normally-closed (NC) switch with contacts...

    Salem Oregonians, I need your help. Looking for info on this 71 Cuda I purchased.

    Posting your VIN and fender tag might help with history.

    Grant Steering Wheel Question

    The three nuts should have the beveled portion going into the wheel spokes. Are you using a factory horn cap? The Grant generic metal center cap will not work. You need the factory center cap for 71-74 B/E bodies like this one.

    Voltage Regulator....Where did I go wrong?

    Highly recommend the RTE electronic (solid-state) Instrument Voltage Regulator (IVR3) that Deathproofcuda suggested.

    fuel injection upgrade

    There are many considerations in deciding to go to EFI. Do your research. As some have said, this is a knowledge-intensive upgrade that is expensive as well. Check out EFI Systems Pro. They have a lot of information in the Pro Hangout section and their technicians are available via phone. That...

    Front Sway Bar...?

    Depending on your preference of factory control arms versus aftermarket… Inspect all of your front suspension bushings, tie rods, etc. including the lower control arm bushings at the K-member. If bad then the arms need to be removed to replace the bushings. Good time to add/weld reinforcement...

    FOR SALE A true factory-reference, investment-grade 1970 Plymouth Barracuda – numbers-matching, California survivor

    This thread was very frustrating. Bickering over obvious inconsistencies with the Barracuda for sale. A better approach would have been for the seller to offer up a review by our forum members prior to advertising it for sale. A nice car but the 318/904/7-1/4 would require many corrections to...
