Does anyone have experience with repairing original speedo? I have a 1970 from a Rallye Gauge cluster. Odometer works, speedo needle doesn't register at all, just rests at 0 MPH. Otherwise a great looking original that doesn't need cosmetics. Looking for a recommendation of a competent place...
Hi folks,
I did a complete restoration of my Rallye instrument panel on my '70 AAR cuda. Everything disassembled, properly labeled, etc. then reassembled. My speedo had the needle broken off at some point during previous ownership and needed a new needle, but it still worked fine with the...
Hi folks,
I'm rounding the final turn of my 1970 AAR restoration and finishing up the trunk. Fortunately I had the original space saver spare but nothing else. So I purchased a (facsimile) bottle and strap, and the spare hold down bolt and nut. Have a date correct jack and jack holding...
Hi folks,
A previous owner MacGyver'd a bunch of functions on my 1970 cuda and I've been taking it back to bone stock. I have rebuilt all the gauges, dash panels, switches, etc. I have two questions:
Question #1
I'm wondering if someone can tell me which functions this three wire connector...
I'm doing a 70 'cuda bone stock restoration and rounding the final curve with regards to interior. I'm reinstalling everything after I restoration, including dash, dash instruments, interior trim pieces such as a-pillar trim, door panels, etc. Two years ago I ordered a complete package of...
Not to sure how many of you have noticed that YearOne reduced its discount to EBodies members from the previous 30% to 25% and less. I've not been happy lately with their responsiveness either. Wondering if other members are sensing the same...
I just picked up a NOS 340 exhaust manifold, only because I got it at less than the cost of a heat riser kit alone. I have a matched set of restored coated manifolds already, and want to simply remove the heat riser assembly from the one I just purchased and reinstall in my restored one.
I'm...
I am debugging my harness that has some non-operating lights. One of the lights not working was the glove box, even with a new bulb, while the adjoining map light was working. I wanted to check wire continuity so I tried to unplug it from the common point. Even using a set of long nose pliers...
I have a B5 blue AAR with brilliant blue interior. Steering column was incorrectly repainted silver in engine bay by previous owner. I'm totally restoring the column and I am attempting to determine if the two steering column mount parts in the pic (shown in primer) are to painted interior...
I'm trying to ascertain whether AAR cuda's utilized the frame bracket for the positive battery cable or not. And if so, a picture of the mounting location, as I haven't found a good pic. I've seen various frame bracket listings that specify only 1971-74 and a few that claim 70-74. When I...
I must be dense. On my 70 AAR cuda I cannot figure out how to remove the "L" shaped plastic trim that goes under radio and up and around the ash tray. I pulled ash tray cover/insert. Then on the trim piece I removed the trim screw on the side and the two hex screws on bottom.. Radio now slides...
I'm in the final stages of completing a resto on a '70 AAR cuda. The previous owner had moved the battery to the trunk, thus the tray was gone. I ordered a new tray, brace and bolt hardware, and correct battery cables, but can't find a picture that shows how it is properly installed, i.e...
I am restoring an AAR Cuda and have obtained a fast idle solenoid and NOS dual point distributor to replace those missing when I purchased the car. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find correct way to wire them. The fast idle solenoid uses a blue wire which (from pictures I have seen) seems to...
Was driving home in the 70 cuda (AAR 340/6 bbl A/T) last night. Car in front of me stopped and my motor stalled. Went to restart the 'cuda and absolutely no power anywhere. Tick tock clock dead, no lights, no 'nuttin. Got my wife to come out with jumper cables. No power anywhere to car...
