    Fuel tank sending unit

    If it really is non linear, then this could be a big improvement.

    Tell me about your ballast resistor failure.

    Sounds like the classic ballast resistor symptom. Can you jumper across it temporarily and see if the car runs?

    Battery/Alernator issue

    My favorite tool for finding a battery drain is a small bulb, like a dash light bulb. If you have one in a socket with wires on it it is easy. Take off the negative cable. Hook up one wire from the bulb to the negative battery post and the other wire to the negative battery cable. It will...

    Wiring Issue

    Fix one thing, break another often means you disturbed sometime else accidentally when you were working. Look around in areas where you were working. Wiggle stuff in that area and have someone watch headlights. This is a non scientific cheap shot, but it works sometimes…..

    Power Steering box leak on top?

    Yeah, I tried that. Pretty hard to get to. Moved it about 1/10 of a turn. May have to take exhaust manifold off again to get to it.

    Interesting Summit Ignition Box

    Interesting. Looks like a better design than the fake transistor ones. A lot may depend on how well they heat sink the transistor. Can’t really tell from the pictures. When looking at something like this, keep in mind that a lot has changed in the world of semiconductors since the 70s. Most of...

    Power Steering box leak on top?

    My power steering box on my 69 barracuda appears to be leaking around the top cover and the castellated nut that is about 3 inches in diameter. This is the hemispherical cover where the adjustment screw is. I just had the box out to replace the leaking steering wheel shaft seal. It was all so...

    Tear into it, or bolt in and go???

    One of my son’s friends buys junkyard LS engines, slaps them in his car with a turbo and runs them till they go bang. Then does it over again. Doesn’t even pull a valve cover.

    Advice needed on manifold repair

    I think the 71 was a spread bore manifold, so that one is different. Seems like there are used aluminum manifolds around not much more than the repair cost. Shipping is a killer though.

    To Sell or Part Out my 68 Formula S Barracuda?

    Base on the information provided, I would think $32k is a good price for the car. Keep in mind you are not a retailer and will likely not get retail prices for parts. Your question probably depends on how much your time is worth. Do you have the time, skill and space to store a car that may...

    WHERE DID U PUT UR AFTERMARKET STEREO & SPEAKERS

    You can buy good performing car stereos on Amazon for $30. These are small and don’t have cd players generally. Don’t sweat the odd names. The name brands cost 5-10 times more and are just about the same thing.

    WHERE DID U PUT UR AFTERMARKET STEREO & SPEAKERS

    I bought the kick panels for the speakers. I bought the ones for the oval speakers as I think the sound better. Buy the speakers separate. You will get better quality speakers cheaper than the ones that come with the kick panels. The only down side with the kick panel speakers is that the vent...

    Disc Brake conversion power master cylinder question

    Mine didn’t have the plug you have. I think that is a manual brake master cylinder. I bought a power brake master cylinder that has a shallow bore, so I don’t need the plug now. I am still having issues. The pedal goes all the way to the floor with the master cylinder off. The booster appears...

    Ignition problem

    If I do another car like an a body again, I will buy all the M&H harnesses from year one on sale, then replace every one and enjoy not chasing electrical gremlins all the time…..

    Ignition problem

    That means that one of your ignition switch circuits is not powering your coil. There are two power sources for power from the ignition switch. One supplies power during cranking, which bypasses the ballast resistor. It is called Ignition 2, Brown wire One supplies power in the run position...

    What are you using for 8 3/4 pinion seal?

    Watched a couple you tube videos for the sleeve it went on easy. Used the leather seal because I already had it and didn’t want to wait for another one. Can’t really return little stuff to rock auto because of shipping. We’ll see how well it works. Thank to everyone for all the advice!

    What are you using for 8 3/4 pinion seal?

    Got my yoke off and it is a little grooved. Can feel it with a fingernail pretty easy. Ordered the sleeve and the seal from Rock Auto and I got another one with a leather seal! Ouch! Thought I ordered the rubber one. Going to look again & see if I can find the rubber one. What does everyone...

    Electronic ignition problem on new install

    Sounds like you don’t have the “run” ignition wire hooked up. There are two ignition feeds, “run” and “start”, called Ignition 1 and Ignition 2. Blue and brown wires I think.

    340 vs 360 confirmation

    My 340 manifolds are what you described. I was using a stock exhaust which necks down to about 1 3/4 or so at different places, so I decided it doesn’t matter. If you search the forum, sone folks use jeep Cherokee passenger side manifolds the can be modified with a little grinding to be 2 1/4...
