Watching too much Barrett Jackson classic cars are gold mines reasonable offers are dead on arrival.

Voltage readings: Battery at rest - 12.5 volts (battery is 7 years old) Battery when cranking - 10.5 volts Voltage at + side of coil when cranking: 8.5 volts (does not start) Battery to + side of coil voltage drop from battery when cranking: 1.8 volts (does not start) Battery to + side of coil...

Yep I agree with ALL of the above....

Looks like battery is 7 years old. And car was apart for a year for full floor replacement recently and I don't think I took best care of battery during that time....

I have ohm'ed the Ignition 1 and Ignition 2 circuits from ignition key plug to coil. They were zero ohms. Positive battery cable to ignition key bat terminal zero ohms. Alternator to starter relay post zero ohms. New ignition switch tested before install: zero ohms when key in run and start...

Any thoughts on why car fires if I unground spade connector on alternator? Weak battery maybe?

Thanks. I have to check cranking voltage. It sounds like starter can spin the engine very fast. I see 12.5 volts at battery car off and around 14 volts when its running. Car can sit for days and starter still seems like spins engine fast. But let me check battery voltage when cranking.

I ran alternator with one spade grounded other hooked to field voltage regulator, reversed grounded other spade and hooked one that was grounded to field wire. This was done when everything was working two weeks back. So it looked to me that neither spade was grounded based on those tests.

1969 Barracuda All wiring is factory specs New alternator and voltage regulator worked for two weeks then developed a no start issue. Coil gets 8 volts when cranking. If I disconnect ground on spade connector on two week old alternator car gets full voltage at coil and fires immediately. I...

The alternator is a 1970 style with two spade field connectors. So I grounded one spade to housing of alternator. Voltage regulator is an original '69 style points type replacement part. Voltage regulator housing has zero ohms to negative side of battery.

I put new alternator and voltage regulator on car about two weeks back. Everything worked great. Then last Friday stop to get gas on way to car show and car would crank but no start. I found if I let go of key real fast let it snap back into Run position I could get lucky and car would start...

I had to put key back in Run position when pushing lock cylinder into new switch housing. That way the little button was able to easily push into the lock cylinder. Once key out of Run position that little button won't push in. But once I figured it out was real easy to do.

Pulled my 1969 ignition switch out. To remove lock cylinder I put key in run position then took screw driver pushed little button in through hole in housing. Then cylinder pulled out.

I don't see no hole in the front of mines? Are those instructions applicable to a '69?

I have the '69 factory service manual. I dont see any instructions in there saying how to take lock cylinder out of switch? From googling seems you have to turn key and push some button in somewhere? A and B bodies same ignition switch and 69 is unique. All I see in FSM is remove collar...

Yeah I gonna have to ohm it all out to pin point the exact issue. Because ignition 2 all the sudden does not work anymore with no prior indication it was gonna fail.

Awesome car. I would wait till engine needs work and go solid roller then.

As of yesterday it appears mine has an ignition 2 open circuit issue because it cranks but won't fire. But if I let the key snap back to run real fast some times I get lucky and ignition 1 goes live while engine still spinning and it starts. Once it starts runs perfect. Original '69 ignition...

Mufflers is a tough one. A muffler that sounds great on one car sound horrible on another. I love the Dynomax Ultra Flo on my Barracuda. So put some on my fox body and they sounded terrible. So swapped on Dynomax Super Turbos on the fox body which turned out great. With 340 manifolds 2...

I don't think you have to pull windshield. You can pull instrument cluster and glove box and reach everything. Pulling steering column frees up a lot of room too. If you pull instrument cluster push towels up under dash frame keep cluster from scratching frame.

Welcome from Maryland USA about 50 miles from Washington DC. Metal work looks spectacular. And very happy to hear your in southern part of country vs the artic circle frozen tundra northern ice burg areas.

Sure. The whole mental attitude strategy its very very very tough to get through. I done giant massive car projects, got my *** kicked on every one of them, never fails, unexpected challenges ect *** kicked bad every time. When I not happy drop tools walk away go rest up come back fresh at...

One step at a time. One small aspect one small mini-project at a time. Laser focus on single aspect, get that well done, not perfect, well done. Then determine next step. Slow methodical. Do not focus on too many things brain melts down gets over whelmed. Narrow, mini sub projects, lazer...

Its a factory AC car. HVAC units under dash rebuilt. Original Air Compressor Upgrade Kit. Custom compressor mount brackets I fabricated which utilize factory idler pulleys and crank pulley. Condenser and hard line from consenser to filter drier I stole idea part numbers from some guy who put...

Car looks great!!!

Around where I live all the radiator shops closed. The one that re cored my original 15 years or so back guy retired shut the shop down.

You can remove instrument cluster, join amp meter wires, and run the engine that way. Just make sure no other dash wires touch ground. The scum bag shop might have amp meter wires on wrong studs behind dash.

Car probably has windshield leak and/or wiper pivots and/or clogged cowl drains. My car had leaky windshield and leaky wiper pivots early in its life and a year ago finally got around to doing full floor replacement. Luckily same floor as a Duster so usually in stock....
