69 Notch Barracuda - Rebirth
While I was waiting on the dash filler compound to show up, I completed the Mad ammeter bypass... and solved the mystery (I think) of why, one day last summer, my car acted as though I turned the key off while driving. It never happened again, but I’m assuming the main power wire (“J”, fusible link from starter solenoid) into the bulkhead connector was the culprit, since it completely fell apart after I snipped it near the bulkhead and tried to remove the wire. I ran the new main power wires though an existing hole in the firewall, however, since drilling out the bulkhead connectors, IMO, is just way too aggressive at this point and I wanted to minimize disruption (I’ll be installing a new engine harness in a later phase) to the fussy bulkhead system.
