    Yes, that is a stick on decal. Smaller than the original script, so not quite correct. I spray painted the exide battery case black. I got it from Weskcar on e-Bay. Jim

    Some more electrical info. I installed the relay on the IGN1 wire to fed the sniper and voltage regulator. I then did a cranking test with 2 different batteries to see what the voltage was on the sniper 12V feed. Test #1 was with my gutted repro battery with an Odyssey PC 925 battery inside. It...

    1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration

    With the upgraded alternator, I wondered if the electronic voltage regulator would be able to handle the increased field current. Decided to measure the field current on the upgraded one and the restored original. Simply connected full battery voltage to the field (engine not running!!) which...

    the deep insert ones are correct for the front so that the reflector is more vertical. Plus the part number is 2930751 front and 2930 757 for the rear. Interesting about the Fury. Just goes to show anything is possible from Chrysler back in the days!!!!

    If you go with LED headlights, I don't think you would need relays - BUT I havent see the current draw with Holley's lights.

    Back at the Cuda again!!! A couple of things I has seen mentioned on the Holley Sniper forum was low voltage. 1. Low voltage on the +12V Key on feed to the sniper when cranking. Apparently anything below 11 volts causes problems on starting. I connected the IGN1 feed to the sniper feed and then...

    Haven't had time to get back on the Cuda for quite a while due to yard work etc and a bucket list trip to East Africa!!! Fired the engine for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Just used a carb because I wanted to be sure it started right up to get the revs up and break in the cam. Had some...

    Found the coolant leaks after removing all the parts. The cause was no sealant on the threads of 2 bolts. 2 that go into the water jacket!! The root cause was another case of stupidity!! All the other bolts that required sealant has sealant applied!! I think what happened was that I put the...

Still going to have fun and travel...
