Hey thanks for the plug 65-440 Yes I do radio conversions. Those radios a specialty of mine. Pm for info. Thanks again Rick

I am no expert but I have been doing Electronics for about 30 years now. All sounds great, except, 10 gauge wire to spicing into a 16 gauge fusible link. You need to find a 10 gauge fusible link. If not the 10 gauge wire will burn up your 16 gauge wire after some time under high loads. By...

Neat, what VDC does the light come on at?

Matt, Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! that is the coolest thing ever, I mean EVER! Do you have a part number of the Alternator and the Battery Gauge? how many volts does it take to trip the light on? If there was a coolest award you would get it.... any pictures of the alternator?

Dart Vader, What kind of terminals are you using on the firewall? I am building a mild retro in my 65 Valiant. Putting battery in trunk, power windows modern a/c, big radio, a lot more creature comforts. I am looking for better bulk head connectors. as I will put the fuse box where the...

JD, You should not have any problems at all with 60 AMPS. Its your wiring that may give you problems. I run 90 Watts, in my 64 and have no problems with 45 AMP and stock wiring. First thing you should look at is the firewall disconnects for wiring.

I did almost my entire car with the Packard 56 connectors, there available on the internet, I got my crimper from Del-City. There are a few folks at Carlisle that sell new bulkhead connectors and a bunch of other factory connectors.

I wouldn't go with the "no chance" the Fury did come with a radio even if it had A/C. The conversions that I do are all inside of the radio itself. So if it fits stock then it can be done.

Yep I am the Conversion guy. I don't know if a Fury will fit in a Barracuda 4-5-6 Barracuda's had the shorty Bendix radio. I know a 69 Dart has a full radio. The converters of the 70's will work for you, but it will be mono and only the stock Amp output, I think it was 7watts. PM me for...

Oh duh, cool!

What does Tagged mean?

Yes that is correct.

Erik, Thanks for the Kind words! Duster360, I am located in Virginia Beach, VA. I am still working on a website but I do have a facebook page. Ricks Radio Conversions. I have alot of photos and videos of the process of converting a radio. On the remaining parts of your radio that I use I...

I am starting my own Business Converting transistor radios to AM/FM 180watts RMS 4 channel. My background is Aviation Avionics US Navy 24 years. I was getting tired of having two radios in my car, last Carlisle I saw a converted radio and thought it was pretty easy. So I became an Aurora...

The crimpers, terminals and connectors are called, "Packard" connectors if you google that you can find all the connectors, crimpers, terminals and pins you would ever need.

I have the secret audio sst, I am upgrading to the secret audio srms once it gets here. I love the SirriusXM hook up and iPod and USB setup. Best on the market.

Why would you say that? My 64 Barracuda is 100% stock. Minus this little Gem http://www.classiccarstereos.com/category/Secretaudio-SRMS.html Along with a 6x9 dual voice speaker in the center. Now my 65 Signet is a modified, with full custom radio and power windows!! Gotta have tunes man!

Changed the alternator, works much better now.

Ok, I read you said in another post to run a jumper wire from the positive batter to the output battery of the alternator. should I do this? what does this test?

Well the current meter I am using is good. The Bulkhead connecter has both ammeter wires going through the bulk head connectors. My 65 is different they have there own lug on the bulkhead for positive and negative. The other thing is my harness is pretty brittle, so just because I have good...

Ok looks like I had a bad meter. Readings Engine off Key on Batt 13 IGN 12.6 Running Fast Idle Batt 14.2 Loaded Batt 15.5 ALT 14.2 IGN 15.7 AMMETER at 3/4 Charge side. Running loaded or unloaded at idle Batt 12.4 ALT 12.4 IGN 10 IGNITION seems to be all over the place each...

I to have a discharging problem when anything like the lights, blower, wipers are turned on. I have read some of the posts so here is my story; 1964 Barracuda 273, 2bbl. A/C, P/S, P/B, Intermittent wiper, radio. Readings so far, key on, motor off; Battery 14.1 Alternator B=14.2...

Well I just got doing the solid state voltage regulator on a cluster from a 64 Barracuda/Valiant. I did the modification by Chuck Rivers. Works perfect 4.98 VDC constantly all the time, gauges work nice and smooth. I will be putting it in the Barracuda this weekend I hope. Next is to do...

Fellas, I am installing a voltmeter in a tripod under the dash (along with oil and water) in my 65. Where is a good Hot spot to hook the positive side keyed lead to? Was thinking ignition side of the fuse to then to ground. Anyone have any luck?

I installed the pertronix and saw and immidiate improvement in gas and performance, timing is always on the money each and every time

Do you have a 4 pin ecu or a 5 pin ecu? The Shop manual says to turn ignition switch to on. Then read out pins 1,2,3 (if you have a 5 pin). all should be 12 vdc and all should be within 1 volt of battery. After that read pins 4 and 5 with a meter for continuity, it should read open...

Sounds like you are missing a ground somewhere.

I don't know these newer cars as much but does the left top fender indicator come on when the hi-beams are turned on? If not then my next question is, which fender or are they both on? And kind of what a383 says, you may have a bad bulb or a bulb not seated correctly on the appropriate...

As an Aircraft an Automotive Electrical Technician here is what I can tell you in a few words. ** Does the flasher click when you put the turn signal on? 1) Do you have the correct year service manual for the car? 2) Start in the engine compartment, with a test light hooked to a good...
