Ok, so I noticed something. The orange wire for the dash lights is coming from the harness to the ignition connector, but there is no wire the seems too line up with it from the ignition switch. I have the 2 small for the key buzzer, and open space (which would line up with the orange), red...

So I'll try the light in the fuse but I did go and get cheap aftermarket ignition switch today. At first it seemed like it would work. Didn't blow the accessory fuse but then it blew the fuse coming off the starter relay. It seems like the wires are a little different in the aftermarket...

Correct, I can manually power things. How would adding a light work? It would clearly turn the light on, and possibly burn it out, right? Power is getting pushed to the fuse once the key is turned, but too much and hence the fuse blows. I've got the dash lights, radio, wipers, ...etc all...

Yes the buzzer does work. Nothing blows until I turn the key as soon as that happens the fuse blows. I can't test to see if the accessories on the fuse work unless I power them directly with a power probe because they only work with power and a good fuse, which never happens. Could a back...

This is on '70 Cuda 440, no tilt, auto. Ok, I've torn apart my whole dash and steering column. Connections appear decent and I've forced powered the dash lights, wiper sprayer motor, road lamps....etc (all that appeared to not work before because the fuse kept blowing) I'm guessing it might...

Thanks, got it! I had to hammer a small screw driver to get the metal ring to move away to access the pin.

I'm trying to get to my ignition switch on a '70 Cuda. I'm having issues with power going to dash lights, road lamps...etc. Every time I turn the key the fuse blows. I've got the steering wheel off, crush can, turn signal cams but it seems like the locking plate is fixed to the steering...

I should mention the fuse that blows is the "accessories" one. The instrument panel one isn't blown but I don't seem to have lights in the speedo...etc. The dome light is also out but I didn't have an extra bulb to test if it was just the bulb or more.

I have a '70 Cuda 440. So I noticed my instrument panel lights don't work, road lamps, and dome light. Also when checking for a parasitic draw there was a huge draw coming from the ignition/starter power wire off the starter relay. Is it possible these could be related? When I put the key...

I was curious what people's thoughts are on the value or decrease in value of doing modifications. I get it if you have a basic 318 barracuda for example and put in 440, power brakes..etc. But what if you have a U code car with non-numbers matching 440? Would adding a rear spoiler, power disc...

Bill, I've looked at hagerty before and I'd assume those prices are based on all numbers matching? Even a #4 was $30k! That's why it is interesting values mentioned have been so low from what I see out there. What is decrease for no number matching motor?

http://www.collectorcarads.com/Plymouth-Cuda/57431 So this can go for $32k too. Curious, is this better?

What do you mean "wrong color"? Wrong B7 color? Or you think it should be a different color completely?

Thanks for all the replies. Of course I haven't see it but I've been searching nationwide for 6 months and it is very rare to find cars like this for less than $25K. Sure you can find plenty of '72-74 cudas in that range but 70-71 not really. I'm confused why some think only $20K? Show me...

geez I never see anything that nice for $10-24K! 10K is crap. I missed a '70 barracuda (cuda clone) w/ 318 stroker and lots of upgrades in disc, suspension, rims for $25K that would need paint eventually.
