    65 Barracuda Brake Bleeding Issues

    Hi Guys, my 2.5 year project is almost finished...Once I get brakes to work, I can drive it down the road. Like everything else, it's a struggle. I left the original drum brakes on the car. New wheel cylinders, diverter on top of the rear axle and new hard brake lines. The rubber lines to...

    Instrument lights workaround?

    65 Barracuda. Have the windshield out, so I have access to the back of the headlight switch and the fuse box. Currently I have constant battery power and switched power when I pull on the headlights. The problem is that the tan wire feeding the instrument cluster fuse doesn't show power at...

    First startup attempt, Melted wire....Help!

    First things first, I disconnected the power wire feeding the interior (pictured) hooked up the main battery lead and ground as well as the accessory feed...No smoked fuse. Problem must be inside. In thinking things over, when I first connected the battery in my original way, there was no...

    First startup attempt, Melted wire....Help!

    Thanks all you guys, I have un-hinged the dash and rotated it down so I can get a good look at the underdash wiring. Once again, all of the wiring underneath, fusebox and pigtail going to the rear lights are all new....Plus the Dali Lama said I will achieve perfect consciousness before I...

    First startup attempt, Melted wire....Help!

    I have another idea. I have been pouring over my wiring diagrams and it is not perfectly clear which wire should feed power to the interior. My new wiring harness has a large black wire with a forked connector, my old harness had a short jumper from the starter solenoid to the second large...

    First startup attempt, Melted wire....Help!

    ...is the power wire running to the starter solenoid (on the starter) supposed to show power anytime the accessory wire from the battery is connected to the firewall solenoid? My thinking is that the solenoid power wire should be lit up only when the ignition is turned to start, which bridges...

    First startup attempt, Melted wire....Help!

    thats right Mike, the alternator only has 2 connecting points. In reading the directions for the electronic distributor it refers to the "green wire not used"

    First Time Start....Melted Wire....Help

    No Quick Aw-Haw...unfortunately..There is obviously a problem with the accessory feed to the starter solenoid somewhere. I disconnected all of the interior fuses in order to isolate the short. There are only a few wires going into the solenoid..... Accessory feed from the battery, jumper from...

    65 Barracuda Steering column cover length?

    I am putting together my 65 Barracuda. I need to get the distance from the end of the steering column cover to the power steering pump fitting in order to re-attach my steering wheel. The steering wheel needs to slip onto the splines on the steering shaft at a certain depth in order for the...
