Thanks so much for this @Mattax ! When it comes to electrical I pretty much get brain freeze. I was under the impression that the red wire sent power TO the flasher when actuated to complete the circuit. Makes so much more sense that the power is coming FROM the flasher via red wire and gives...

Took me all summer to get to it but I just replaced the turn signal switch in the steering wheel. @67Dart273 you had said potentially something crazy could be going on in the switch. Well two wires (red and white) had insulation cracked off at the same spot (see pic). Even if the signal wasn't...

Absolutely sure of it. The fist time it happened I felt the flasher "click" without the signal engaged. Literally could see the mechanism move and feel the vibration in my hand. The hazards work fine and continue to work fine after all this.

When it popped I was cruising at about 30 mph without the turn signal actuated. Since I've owned the car the radio has never worked and don't believe it's connected. The part that was odd is that the car hesitated and almost stalled for about three seconds after the pop, like there wasn't...

I spoke too soon. I was driving along nicely, heard a pop, and the car almost stalled. The clicking sound came back despite not engaging the blinkers. I managed to pull into a lot hoping the damn thing wasn't going to catch fire and she started running smooth again. Obviously the flasher is...

Thanks for the help y'all. You were right with the flasher. My stupidity led me to believe its only function was to make the click sound. Not so! A simple glance at the wiring diagram should have made that obvious but like I said... stupidity on my part.

Hello Again Forum, I tied searching the site and while I find similar problems as mine I can't find an identical problem/solution. I was driving and used my turn signal. I realized the green signal light wasn't lighting so I tried the other direction and noticed it wasn't either. I placed the...

Final Report! Just picked her up from the alignment shop. Went with Firm Feel tubular uppers and got her aligned. They dialed caster in around +2.5 Deg and 1/2 Deg neg camber. I can not tell you what a world of difference it made. I went from being scared to drive it to weaving in and out of...

I gave them away to a member in the classifieds to get them out of my garage so I'll never have to see them again :thumbsup: Somebody else's problem now! Have me a set of Firm Feel tubulars on the way. Hate getting away from the OEM appearance but if it means it handles better and is better...

Have driver and passenger upper control arms from 73+ A body. I personally couldn't get the old bushings out but I don't have a press. Seem to be seized in the arm. Ball joints are a year old and less than 200 miles on them. Would be happy to give them away before I scrap. In DFW area for...

Once again @72bluNblue you've been an amazing help with this. You're right about pulling the wrong way by the way. Lol. I did try the other and they are completely seized. Even held the torch to get the control arm red hot and no luck getting them out. I swear that's the only rust on the...

I was going the correct way. I flipped the tool to the other side of the control arm. Inside of the arm towards the outside. As you can see in these pics the damn things are just seized in there. Y'all have been giving great advice BUT since I'm replacing the UCA's now, if I buy tubular...

If I can't get it to budge with the puller even with heat. Hack saw, torch, pliers... those old ones are welded on the control arm with rust. Gave it a shot! Passenger side removal tomorrow then time for new UCA's.

Was going great now I'm stuck. Where my fingers are in the pic... is that part of the control arm or the old bushing rusted in? Can't get the new bushings in so I assume this is the old one? If so any advice how to remove. I've already blasted with penetrating oil. Thanks y'all!

@72bluNblu , thanks for putting that all together. Now I feel obligated to give it a whirl your way! I don't have a press and was dreading getting the old bushings out but with that homemade tool I'm for sure more confident, especially since I can just turn the UCA around on the ball joint and...

Okay y'all...made the adjustment to max caster with existing set up. It still looks like I have negative caster according to the eyeball test. I bought the offset Moog bushings BUT what do you all think? If I spend the time to put new bushings in the control arms do y'all think it makes more...

I'll give them a call Monday. Thanks for the recommendation!

@Kendog 170 Let me know how it goes. This is most likely my project for next weekend. Have those same bushings in hand.

@mosleyme, Thanks for this reply. I've called several shops telling me they can align it only to never call back or return my calls. I ended up buying offset bushings and new cam bolts. Contemplating buying a home alignment kit as a necessity if I can't find anyone to work on it. Not my first...

UPDATE I think y'all are on to it with caster. I found a shop in Dallas that works on classics to do an alignment and am am in the process of scheduling an appointment . But decided this afternoon to take a look for myself. The cam nut andjustment assembly is not even close to allowing for...

Very Scary Indeed! I think I'll take it for an alignment first, especially with that positive caster, and have the mechanic (one I trust who works on classics) inspect what everyone on the forum is discussing. I wish I had more pics to share but I'll post some before and afters of what I...

Thanks OldManMopar. They are definitely the 73+ ball joints as I put them in myself. Originally I ordered them for a 67 and that's when I discovered the suspension was something newer and found the 73 e body ball joints fit. This is probably for another thread, but if it was originally a slant...

Thanks Kern Dog! My ignorance there. Part number/cross reference for the upper and lower ball joints were the same as the E-Body so I just assumed (incorrectly). Great to know!

Brand new BF Goodrich Radial T/A. Thanks for the tip and will check out 72bleNblu.

Fellow A Body Folks... I have a 67 Barracuda and somewhere along the line it was converted to front discs. From installing new ball joints, tie rod ends, calipers, and discs it would seem that the upper control arm and upper/lower ball joints are from an E Body, the brake system from an M Body...

I'm officially done with that felt in there! I did see others discuss the long pulley bolts but didn't seem to make contact with anything. Was 100% the felt and the housing. FINALLY got to cruise on a nice soring day!

I know, old thread but spent the last two weeks chasing the same problem. Was determined it was the water pump. Replaced water pump and same squeal. Replaced belts. Same squeal. Took all belts off before replacing power steering pump and no squeal. Here it was the cup and felt behind the...

I recently went through the exact same thing on my 67 Barracuda knowing nothing about the disc brake conversion. These look exactly the same as mine. Found out it was the same calipers as on a 1980 Dodge Diplomat (M body). If you check out Rock Auto you can see in the pics they provide and...

67 Dart273. Thanks so much for this! Installed MSD 8388 ProBillet replacing 5 Point Mopar ignition to get rid of the ballast and ECM. Ended up I had Ignition 2 (brown wire) hooked to my coil initially so was only getting 12v during cranking and as soon as I let go of start the engine would...
