Obviously attach the ground wire to the housing of the light. I really like the look for the part number I gave you a it pretty much looks like all the old style under hood lights
I put a few in other cars. You simply need to order one that has a built-in Mercury switch and you just run a power wire back to either the battery or the fuse box. Light bulb frame is screwed into the hood and is grounded that way. Classic industries sells a universal one which is part number...
I was actually considering that but decided to leave things original since it's a matching number car and I even have the original carb, brake booster and master cylinder with their brass tags still intact.
I didn't find a really good video for putting quarter glass in but here's how I did it. I first bolted the regulator in and inserted the arm into the body slide while I put the regulator in. I then put the track in after I'd already greased it and only secured the bottom bolt loosely and set it...
You don't know how hard I looked for a good trail duster or ram charger but living in Ohio they were rusted far worse than the comparable Chevy's or Fords. The Plymouth trail duster was my first choice
I know it's a little off topic but I'm splitting my time between the cuda and I'm building a 78 Blazer to run my grandkids around in the summer and we're doing major surgery this weekend. Lol
Thanks I do have a 1973 shop manual. I just had bad memories for my last car which is a 67 RS SS Camaro with electric windows and I had 26 hours in getting quarter vent glass and door windows to line up. Absolute nightmare
No sorry I got a couple three threads that I started over the last 12 months and used them as updates the car is now nearing completion. It was a total basket case when it was started a little over 3 years ago
It's going to be slow progress on the cougar for the next few months. I just finished my excursion rocker panels and cab corners and I've got major body work to do on the old Blazer. Lol
I decided not to use the Magnum 500 rims as I have on the 73 cuda and put the original date coded steel wheels back on. They were sandblasted and painted and I think they have a very nice look. I need to get some new dog dish caps
I decoded the wheel section of my build sheet with a friend of mine who is quite knowledgeable about mopars and it turns out my car came with black steel wheels with the dog dish type hubcaps. I guess it'll be an interesting look.
Well I'm away from home for a week or so so I really can't get to the build sheet. I have a set of correct Magnum 500 switch actually wear and tear but they're not correct for the car and it really should have road wheels, Rally's or steel wheels. I was just hoping someone knew what the codes...
My 72 cuda has black steel wheels with small hubcaps. The build sheet under the code w says 01 and under the section that says road wheels I can only make out an eight and cannot tell what the second digit is. I'm kind of surprised it has steel wheels with all of the options that the car came...
I had to put the cuda restoration on hold for a week or so to take care of maintenance on one of my other vehicles. Nothing like putting rocker panels on an excursion.
