Never say never with a Mopar in the sixties, but I had a very early 68 barracuda that had the thumb wheel radio, so I think the change happened for the 68 model year. There are some heater control differences from 67 to 68, so I think it might be unlikely.

Del, I assumed the “reducer” he was talking about is an IVR replacement? I wonder what he has if that is not what it is? I also assumed, probably incorrectly, that he already had the factory IVR disabled.

If you are talking about the voltage regulator for the gauges, 6 volts is a good voltage. I would wire up the dash on the bench to make sure you have everything right before you install it. You can buy some resistor on Amazon to check the gauges. Tie one side of the resistor to ground a the...

Post what you find out from lemondana. Very interested.

My theory is that the belt drives were designed with non cogged belts. Cogged belts have ~1/2 the surface area to grip. Don’t know whether that is true or not, but seemed to help me. I bought a fractional horsepower belt from Grainger and squeal went away completely. However, they are not...

I have had the ps belt squeal that has driven me nuts. I have done two thing that have helped: 1. Aligned pulleys. Mine were off quite a bit. 2. Bought a belt without cogs. Dayco top cog I think. Those two things have helped a lot. I think it is the water pump pulley that squeals.

I bought some LEDs off Amazon that were nightly rated and they work great. I think mine were bright white, but the blue filters in the dash made them the original blue, just brighter. You might want to pull the dash out some to install them, as it is a crapshoot on polarity, particularly when...

The “car is in storage, so I can’t take more pictures “ is the opening line of many scams.

On a slightly different path, my son had trouble with vagrants when he lived in Texas. He bought one of those “we don’t call 911” signs & hung it on the house. Problem solved.

It’s very confusing. If you have a Ring doorbell already, they sell cameras also. I like the wireless style that plug into ac power. You don’t need to worry about batteries.

The ground on the headlight switch is not needed. The only use it would have would be for the dome light.

Chinese senders are crap. I have had multiple bad ones. Check with an ohm meter before you install it and after you install it. Should read about 70-80 ohms cold.

Hope they were still there…..haha

I was actually trying to bust Rusty’s chops, but I’ll settle for multiple victims…..haha

Looks good for a ford heretic…..

This thread has largely been focused on “tactical” things rather than “strategic “ things. If we were to back up a little bit and take a wider look, I would ask what your goals are? Short term income? Long term income? Capital appreciation? Exit strategy? If you are going to get what you...

On the plus side, my rental house doubled in value over the past five years. The ~125K house is now 250k. I had a stable tenant through Covid, so it made me a bucket load of money. The lower end of the housing market has got jerked up hard since there has been a housing shortage. Diversification...

I have had rental houses for close to 40 years. The environment has changed a lot. Everybody has bad credit now. It is a hard business, but you can make a lot of money. As said above, picking renters is the key. Go visit where they live before you rent to them.

You can buy kick panels with speakers, or just the panels and buy your own speakers. I think they work better than dash speakers and are much easier to install. I prefer the 4x6 over the round ones

I have used a couple of the Bluetooth amplifiers in post 15. They work great. Hide it somewhere, hook it up to ignition power and speakers. Turn volume all the way up and control everything from your phone.

i think that is the way of cheap Chinese stereos. Some don’t last long. Just luck if you get a good or bad one. I have had a similar experience with computer monitors. The cheap ones last a year or two. The name brands last forever.

Didn’t mean to be a jerk, just been through this power steering hose thing a number of times.

I think you are over thinking this one. Go to O’Reilly & buy one for a Saginaw pump for your year car or earlier. If it doesn’t fit, return it. Just my opinion….

As I recall, your year with the spool motor mounts has a lot of room. Many different ones should work. Just get one and try it.

Prayers!

Get a phenolic spacer under the carb if you think it might be a heat problem. A thin one will do.

Just drill a hole in the metal plate and use an extension spring from the hardware store. It works great and is on the inside where nobody can see it anyway. Your rod is probably bent because your mechanism is binding up. Solve that problem and then straighten out the rod and you will be fine...

Some folks will use Coke to unstick a froze engine. Only costs $5 bucks for a couple of two liters. …..and think about that next time you drink some…..

I don’t remember the specifics, as it had been awhile. I think I bought bolts and cut them off so they stuck out of the water pump about a 1/4 inch on the back and the fan clutch about 1/8 of an inch past the nut. Locktite them into the water pump with red locktite.

I think the crackedback headlight harness is a great idea, but you may want to find your problem first before changing a bunch of stuff. That usually just makes trouble shooting harder.
