69 Notch Barracuda - Rebirth
I got the gauges all remounted (removed the A/C bank of vents) and hooked up, steering column back in place.. went to start her up and found that I’d connected the alternator wire to the starter solenoid (starter gear wouldn’t disengage when key was in ‘run’ position) post... doh!! :realcrazy: Once I got that little issue fixed, she fired right up with a little starter fluid down the gullet.
Had a great first drive of the season... speedometer, odometer, gas gauge all working now.
Still NOT working were left signal dash lamp, no turn signal canceling whatsoever... quickly found that I’m tired of having to remember to turn my signals off :rolleyes: so tore into the steering wheel the next day.
I knew the cancel cam would be broken, but also found several of the original wires had significant insulation splitting at or near the switch. So, on the way is a new column switch/harness, and a new 13 1/2” wood steering wheel.
