Since your car is more than 25 years old, NY just inspects brakes, and other than smog BS. Unless you want all that BS, run the tanks inc. with the pump and run a return line and a regulator and you'll be good to go.

Welcome from Northport. I have a 71 Cuda that I FI and used a Tanks inc. tank with an electric pump. I also have a 74 Duster and installed same tank with the electric fuel pump. Since they are not daily drivers, the electric pump makes starting so much faster. The Duster is a carb and what an...

Could also be too lean, caused maybe by a vacuum leak or carbs being lean. Check the plugs to see condition.

Was this a repo harness or one removed from a car? I removed one from a working car and everything worked fine when I was done.

70-71 parts book shows Cuda & Challenger using same tach, no rpm difference. The 72 Challenger was bought for the Rally dash and junked after I removed dash and wiring because car was a rust bucket back then and no after market sheet metal available.

My rally dash also came out of a 72 Challenger 318, but is an 8000 RPM tach. Maybe an early car and they were using left over 8000 RPM tachs till they were exhausted.

My 72 rally has an 8000 rpm tach.

E body plates are u shaped, not flat like the A bodies. A little more involved to make, probably why there not being reproduced.

The condenser being copper may be worth something at metal recycling place. I bring my old metal to a recycler and get paid for it. Of course copper and aluminum bring in more bucks. An old fridge got me $25.

I have a 71 Cuda that had a NOS 70 fender installed with a plate welded in with the gills. I eventually got a NOS 71 fender that I installed on the car. I remember vaguely a little work was done to fit in the 71 headlight bracket, but that was about 40 years ago.

Start with the dimmer switch. Being some 50 years old they are junk to begin with. The thin wiper arm breaks off and that is usually the problem with it.

When I took my glove box out of my car, 71 Cuda, it had in chalk name "Rose" on it. I guess the women making them liked to personalize them.

You mention needs plugs. If plugs were removed make sure you can turn over engine. A friend of mine sold me his 340 Dart and had removed the plugs and engine was solid frozen. I had to bang each piston with a rubber mallet to get it apart. The other thing if it was a racer may have high gears in...

Never liked the round tail lights on any of the 60's cars. But that's my opinion. When looking for a car in early 80's had to be 70 or 71 Cuda. Settled on a 71, because not a lot of choices back then.

How good a piece are you looking for? I have one and if it doesn't have to be perfect I can dig it out tomorow and take a picture. I know its not perfect but it came off a 70 Dart 340.
