Here is the other side. This is a 318 valve cover due to the lack of the wire heat shield by the intake manifold choke housing.

Thanks. As soon as it was so observantly noted, I found my originals and ordered some 4 wire repros. I originally ordered a set and received 4 two wire separators instead of two of each. It's correct now...except #7 wire is awful tight.The lengths are close but it always seems that they never give you enough length on some and too much on others. The distributor and drive gear are back in the same position as when I took them out but it would help if I turned the gear back a tooth. The motor ran great with good vacuum.

Looking good John.

Back at it. It's been slow going. Spent all weekend putting the dash together, doing the firewall insulation, the roof insulation and painted the power brake booster and related parts. Nothing went smoothly. There is no instructions with the firewall insulation. The pins that REM provides are not correct. The OE pins are impossible to push thru. I made a tool but still had trouble hammering them in. The firewall insulation are just dropping yellow fiberglass dust like mad. Nothing like OE insulation. The REM roof insulation is cotton. Not like OE and not cut to size.

Just realized that I have to downsize some photos. I will post a couple of photos later.

It doesn't help that I am a little rusty. A couple of tips, make sure your roof insulation is cut to the right size before you glue it up. The last one I did fit perfect with no cuttng...it was not made by REM. The other thing is install your firewall installation before your brake and clutch pedals.
Finally, I bought one of those 180 Watt AM/FM/6 CD changer converted AM radios years ago and am putting it in the Barracuda. While wiring the dash, I decided to see what I could wire from the new radio. The first thing I notice is that the antenna jacks for the FM modulator will not plug
into the radio or accept the antenna cable. Basically, the antenna is rerouted thru the modulator but the hookups are not compatible with any car radio or antenna as far as I can tell? I had to download a photo resizing program to my new computer. If it works, I'll post a couple of photos.

Roof insulation

Brake booster and bracket came back from the restoration shop painted gold and the m/c cast gray...it's engine compartment black now

I had to blast the rust of the trans it was so bad. I painted it with Eastwood rust encapsulator anbd then went with the zinc phospahate. The cast paint just didn't look right but I'm pretty satisfied with the zinc phosphate.

The dash and glove box bezel was redone by GCAR. It came out great. The original was yellow and missing most of the chrome. Gary also polished the lenses and fixed a chip on the bottom edge, painted the trim black and did the glove box trim plate. I am very happy that I found him.

I hope I can get the stereo and CD player hooked up right! It's basically going to be hidden. Talk about a lot of wires! This is just part of it.

For a short while, I thought the new dash wiring harness was not correct. You have to buy a separate one for the A/C. There are connections between the two and you have to use your old one for a template. The new fuse box doesn't come with the A/C terminals and you have to make sure you have everything wired the way the old one was. I don't know how you'd do it if you didn't have a complete old one to go by? The wiring gets a little more complicated with A/C. Also, the new one doesn't come with the maplight wire or the under the dash reverse light wire and you have to save them and plug them in to the right locations. Another dash photo.

Hope they work! The only thing I did to the instruments was paint the needles with a hobby shop flourescent red. This is the same stuff the instrument specialist will send to you if you want to pay $12 plus shipping charges...like I did. I thought they had some special paint for auto instruments.

Wow that dash looks amazing.

JD,
I had SM Electric (turnswitch.com) convert a radio for the Cuda build I finished last year. And it sounds pretty good, so I had them do one for the 1969 Charger in the shop now.

Completely stock looking and the only added wires are speaker wire.

MP3 player jacks included

And until you turn it on, it looks like a 100% stock AM unit

Had the same conversion done to my 72 am radio..done by www.taymanelectrical.com. great sound with a pair of 6x9's 3 way in the rear speaker shelve...just like back in the day but hidden with no speaker grills!

Called my radio man today and my gray wires plug into the jacks on the back of the radio. The antenna plugs into the radio. I bought this setup 6 years ago and put the radio in the Runner but never hooked it up. No MP3 but It has a remote 6way CD changer. I just need to figure out where in the fastback to put the changer.
