    I posted an awful lot on fitting this trans with a stock auto on the floor linkage, trans lines, trans cooler, cooler thermostat, kickdown linkage etc. I included what parts I used off junkyard donors, and decent pictures to follow when doing this swap. See my build thread "67/68/69 cuda...

    AMD versus Goodmark quarter panel skins.

    The goodmark barracuda skins leave a bit to be desired. That said I got them from getallparts.com and they only cost me $125 per side. Shipped to my doorstep via truck freight the total with both skins and a goodmark battery tray was $300. Since my car is a coupe, I just couldent justify getting...

    I'd like to see them rework that charger Daytona casting into a charger 500 and a 69 charger R/T. And turn the roadrunner casting into a GTX

    I found one of these 2 days ago. Actually there were 2 of them, so I got them both. I figured in case someone wanted one and had something to trade.

    67/68/69 cuda dilemma

    I am wanting to start back up with this project at some point in the near future, but life is still getting in the way of that currently. I hope the mods dont truncate this thread, as theres a lot of fab work here on these pages that other people can follow/copy on their own projects. As an...

    Wiring a windshield washer pump

    see the link to my post that CDF244 linked here in this thread. This is the simplest way to add the electric pump setup to a 2 speed manual pump washer system. I did 1 for me, and one for somebody else on FABO.

    Wiring a windshield washer pump

    Keep it 2 speed and wire in electric pump to a momentary contact switch mounted in the old foot operated manual pump housing. I modded mine, and one for somebody else.

    Wiring a windshield washer pump

    2 speed switch does push in slightly but is not an electric washer switch. If you look at how it plugs into the harness if theres a brown wire not plugging into it, or a wire cavity in the plug with no wire in it where the switch plugs in then you will understand what I am talking about. That is...

    Any and all M2 mopar models I collect. But the black cuda w red stripe I do not have. I can offer an M2 Hurst cuda for trade if you find this one.

    67 barracuda notch back window rust repair

    The only way the rust wont come back is to completely remove it. Products like Por15 are just that, Poor. Clean pitted steel covered with a good epoxy primer is the best thing on stuff you cannot remove.

    Fuel gauge wiring question

    Oh I hear you. I have made a grounding strap for the die cast cluster housings on my junk that bolt to the steering column mounting bolts. Otherwise the only grounds the cluster gets are from its mounting screws. Time and age that becomes a problem.

    67/68/69 cuda dilemma

    Well so busy with other stuff I never got to it with the car. I go back to work tuesday January the 9th. Wife and i are taking our Christmas stuff down tomorrow, and monday, and packing it away. It's all good, I enjoyed not having to "work on or fix stuff". I think that's what vacation is all about.

    67-69 barracuda front tire width

    I have not put the car on the road. I may have to trim the lower FWD edge to make it work.

    Fuel gauge wiring question

    The aftermarket fuel gage is likely spliced in to the factory fuel tank sender wire somewhere under the dash, and the wire going up to the cluster is either cut, or was tapped into.

    Fuel gauge wiring question

    I agree 100% on making sure its all hooked up right and has proper grounds first. Back in the late 1980s I had a 68 charger who's gages had a mind of their own. I changed out the circuit board with the IVR on it and problem went away. I was just an 18 year old kid back then. This forum wasnt...

    Fuel gauge wiring question

    Yes my IVR is a homemade deal and not a product by RTS. With a little basic electronics knowledge and soldering prowess you too can make your own Yes the schematic shows 2 grounding points on my IVR schematic one ground point is on the mounting/heatsink tab, the other is one of the pins on the...

    Fuel gauge wiring question

    Those vibrating point IVRs are 50 years old. They fail open and closed. Upgrade to better solid state. Nice electronics project that's about $10 Just because mopar designed it, doesn't mean it was all designed great. That ammeter setup isnt that great. Better off bypassing that firehazard...

    Fuel gauge wiring question

    Yes, I just attach the black IVR wire to the circuit board grounding screw. They must have used a scrap gage. That black wire inside the gage is the 12V feeding the points IVR. You can just bend the points on the wire wrapped bi metal spring out of the way, but I clipped the black wire and...

    Fuel gauge wiring question

    You can also just clip and remove the black wire, and clip the metal spring with the contactor point and remove it, then leave the rest. You want the gage pointer to remain functional.
