    Looking for a guy or business that can button up all the glass on a 71 gran coupe

    I would work on it after work on Friday and then a full day on Saturdays, if no family commitments. What I found when I got burnt out was I took a break, maybe a couple days, a week or weeks. Seeing someone else drive by or a TV show like Vise Grip Garage would sometimes get me going again. I...

    Looking for a guy or business that can button up all the glass on a 71 gran coupe

    I have never installed a back window or front windshield before either. I bought some suction cups from Amazon to aid in holding the glass. I purchased the correct thickness 3M Butyl tape kits 5/16" and some 3M Single Step Primer, 08682, Black Color and one tube of 3M 08609 Window-Weld Super...

    Tough decision Did I make the "right" choice?

    All of the cars are beautiful and what you chose is what you liked the most, plus you saved $7000..

    Sounds bad

    Hard to really hear exactly where the sound is coming from in the video, better being there. But. I would remove the valve covers and check to see if there is any oil up there. Oil should travel up and into the rocker shafts then leak out of them into the rockers to keep it all oiled up there...

    6 pack choke

    You video was invaluable. I made one for my 6 barrel set up and it worked great. I modified your set up slightly by not using the relay to keep from back feeding into the timer circuit. I found an 20A timer circuit with case and added a diode in series with the choke feed to stop from back...

    Engine install question

    I did mine from below, lowering the car onto the eng/trans and K-member. It was super easy with no problems and I didn't have to remove the hood. I used rectangular tubing to bolt to the front bumper bolt holes and obviously a chain and engine hoist. If I had to do it again, that is how I would...

    Dipstick Trans O-Ring leaking

    I bought a dipstick from Mancini racing and have not had a leak. I had bought one from Summit with the rubber sleeve type seal and it leaked from day one.

    Seatbelt Starter Interlock

    I can't help with the exact wiring but I would advise you to buy, if you don't own one already, a factory service manual for your year car. The information is invaluable. Use the link below and you can buy the PDF version. Factory Shop Manuals for Ford, General Motors, Chrysler and Jeep |...

    Cruise Control Problems

    I did and it didn't seem to hold the speed. I found that the vacuum line feeding the cruise unit from the brake booster was squished shut so I think that I may not have had vacuum present. I need to change the vacuum line and retest. The lost motion link does allow the throttle to go fully open...

    Cruise Control Problems

    Hello Old Mopar. My car was originally a 318 2 barrel w/cruise. I saved the carburetor with all linkage from the manifold and I do have the lost motion link. I made a bracket to connect the cruise cable to the throttle linkage. I'll post a picture of it on the carburetor tomorrow.

    Cruise Control Problems

    I am in the process of troubleshooting my cruise unit also. I am retrofitting mine onto my 6 barrel setup. Where did you get a new diaphragm?

    Hand cranking the engine

    If you want to prime the engine to make sure oil has traveled through engine I would just pull the coil plug wire off the coil or distributor and turn it over with the key. Maybe 10 to 15 seconds, let it rest and do it again. That way you do not burn out the starter. That will prime your engine...

    HB1 Barracuda build

    I did not Dyno the engine. I would have liked to but there is no dyno's close enough. My guess is in the low to mid 400hp range. Yes that is a Dakota dash and its the non-rally dash VHX-70D-STD-K-W. I really like that there is a tach and oil gage in the cluster. I really like the look of the...

    HB1 Barracuda build

    Thread locker on transmission bolts

    If the vehicle is not running just put in as much as shows full on the dipstick. Once its running, put the transmission in Neutral and check the level when warmed up.

    Thread locker on transmission bolts

    I believe it is 10-12 quarts. I just checked it last week and I had to add 2 quarts so I think its more on the 12 quarts side.

    HB1 Barracuda build

    Some day I would love to go to Carlisle. I'm not sure if I could afford the gas to drive the Barracuda there.....

    HB1 Barracuda build

    Hello 1973, I did not do the body work but with a help of a couple friends, when needed, I did the rest of the work myself. Without having the FSM and this website, I would still be in the middle of the restoration. That being said, without a family that allowed Saturday's to be Dad's day in the...
