That’s a good point 67Dart273. I need to make sure wires are away from coil, plug wires, etc., especially that pink wire now that I think of it. As far as the fuel pump, yes theres a relay within the harness that I assume controls it but I’m not certain.

Thanks DionR. No, haven’t replaced the sensor yet. I never thought the ECM, hmmm could be. I wonder if a guy can test them?

So, I remove my Quickfuel 880cfm and Mopar electronic distributor and coil from my 69 Barracuda with mild 440 and install the Sniper 4140 EFI and Hyperspark Ignition (Distributor, Coil, Ignition Box, harness) system. Of course, there is no easy switched power so run the pink wire through the...

Excellent, much appreciated. Now, do you see any issues with using the relay with the "diode" in it, the way its wired in the picture? Or, should i just go with regular ol' relay? Thanks.

Appreciate the reply KitCarlson. Forgive my ignorance, but in the pic are these IGN1 and IGN2?

Well, I did as Holley said and grabbed a 5 pin relay with diode built in. I wired it as they said but of course coming from the starter solenoid the screen and fuel pump turned on but cut out immediately during cranking and wouldn't start. I saw another post on a different thread where one said...

I just installed the Sniper 4150 and Hyperspark Ignition in my 69 Barracuda with 440. All went well except for the dreaded 12volt switched source that is required. I have 6 fuses in the fuse box and none that have 12 volts while on and cranking, and off when the key is off. If I use my third arm...

Thanks 67Dart273 for your quick reply, as well as your suggestion KitCarlson. I did just that and started going over major connection points, starting with the battery, then bulkhead connector. Then got thinking about that rattling alternator, so checked it and sure enough........a wire, i think...

Hello. Running original wiring in restored 69 Cuda. Have the usual issues as with any other Mopar I've owned ie: dim lights, slow signal lights with headlights on, voltage shows low at idle, etc, etc. But.....the other day out for a cruise and all of a sudden my voltage gauge tach's hard to the...

Hello. No I wasn't able to get rid of it. Will have to try again in the spring as the ol' dog is parked for the winter now. Frustrating as hell though, but if one thing has been gained is my knowledge of that carb and knowing my way around it. I haven't fired it up in the dark and looked for...

Well....I tried 77's in the primary, left the 84's in the secondaries and found it really lean. Plugs where pretty white. So, went with one size smaller than stock with 79's in prim and 85's in secondary. Found this rich, strong fuel smell, and didn't get rid of my surging issue. I put the 78's...

Yes, I suppose it is two separate conditions. When cruising at say 40mph and step on it, it surges and jerks like its missing, or too rich/lean. The second scenario is at a constant highway speed (70mph) I can feel it surging/hesitating, just not running smoothly. Like its too rich/lean or...

After a few cruises, lowering my primary floats a bit, ensuring my timing is on with 38 Total/17-18 at idle, and setting the idle mix at all for corners and a fuel/air mix of 11hg, it seems the surging is happening under hard excelleration mid way through the powerband and not so much now under...

Nevermind, I see I'm in the Fuel And Air Forum. Thought I was clogging up the Electrical and ignition forum with my carb issue, lol.

Went for a rip last night with the 79's in the primary's, and found that it cleaned up quite a bit, So I went back to the 78's that I had issue with the first go around and fully expected it to be hard starting and backfire through the exhaust again. It didn't and fired right up, idled fine and...

Since I posted last and prior to going for a drive, I plugged my vacuum line from the carb, capped the carb, dialed my light to 34 degrees, brought my RPM's up to 3000 and only had to turn the MP distributor a bit to get it on mark. Idled back down and my initial timing was virtually where I had...

I went back to the leaner 84's in the secondary and kept the 80's in the primary side. I went for a ride and it really cleaned up on the top end but still surging from part throttle to WOT. I came back home and being by myself, I screwed the idle screw in to walk the idle up to 2000 rpm, put the...

I will find total timing out tonight. Been meaning too but just haven't yet. I am running vacuum advance from the dist to the carb. The plugs I pulled where hard to read as they were pretty black for the initial rich jets. I did put 4 new ones into holes that were easy to get at and after a bit...

Hello All. I bought the Quickfuel SS-880-VS to replace the Holley 770 and put it on my bored 30 over 440 with Eddy dual plane, headers, stock heads, RV purple cam, not sure of lift/duration but its not overly aggressive. Fuel/Air at 11, initial timing at 16 deg. 5-6 psi fuel pressure. 3.73 gears...

I do have a shroud, 3 core, 7 blade fan with clutch and 160 stat also. Believe it or not, we get a few summer days here at +33c/91f where at idling it'll hit 190 to 200. It doesn't overheat, but I would like to see the 185 that your getting mcodecuda. I don't think the rad has been touched so no...

Was thinking about one of these from Engineered Cooling Products. From the measurements it looks like it should bolt right in. Will need a new shroud though as mine is set up for the current narrow stock 17.5" wide rad. The price is decent even though it will come from Chicago to Canada. Old...

I have searched many posts on the site and there is great information in regards to what people are using for rads in what body, with what engines. I am looking for ideas of what you are running for a radiator in your A-body with a 383/440 or 426 with an opening of 17"H x 22"W. My current...

Well, got it in and it looks and works fantastic. Lots of room at the back and no butchering of the instrument housing. I had to take the tach apart and remove the chrome trim around the outside and the plastic lens, but after that it fit perfect and with a good hot glue gun and die grinder, it...

Thanks all, much appreciated. I will do the grounding process while I have it out too.

I have searched high and low as I know I saw a thread on this somewhere, but will be damned if I can find it when I need it. The thread stating that this wire may be on the wrong post. When I saw it I ran out to the ol' garage to check mine (69 Barracuda) as I had the cluster out, and sure...

Thanks for the feedback. I cant bring myself to spend $240 plus shipping/duty, etc. for a factory tach from year one or the other chinese ones out there, and ebay has nothing that i'm willing to risk spending money on. So.....went with this. Should be in in a couple of days and i'll be sure to...

Wondering if anyone can help me with a size of tach to order from Autometer or VDO, etc. to fit in the stock opening of my 1969 Barracuda instrument cluster. I took out the glass face to measure the opening and it is currently 2 5/8", but i can open it to 2 7/8" pretty easilly. I cant open it...

Not sure SGBARRACUDA. What's it worth?

Well, took the centre section and axles to my local drive train shop. He thought the axles may have been installed with debris in the splines of the limited slip, but wasnt overly concerned. I had him take the cone style SG apart and found that the pinion gears had a chunk out of a tooth on both...

Thanks fishy68. I started my own thread over at http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?p=1969821280&posted=1#post1969821280
