Thanks man that seriously made me laugh. Now that I had a beer my mind says PCV valve but I don't dare go down there right now.

Man your car is going to look great. I'll be cheering ya on. Funny we had the same car once...

Great minds think alike!!

Damm that car turned out amazing....you did a superb job you couldnt have done any better than what you did. Now i cant wait to go for a ride in it.

Thanks Curtis, hell you can drive it. I'd be scared to drive yours that thing was as fast as it was gorgeous.
I think this real Vegas plate would look stunning on that car..... I still have the other one if you need it

I got a call at work out of the blue......and I can't even think straight now, because my poor Ram may be getting parked outside

Hopefully its a good call out of the blue...not the bad kind.

And so the Cuda is getting a new friend in the garage. Should arrive in 30 minutes or so

Brent, no guessing. Just wait.

gotta see some more pictures

Brent Thanks, yes the call was good news for me....

Tom and Curtis Thanks my brothers, Curt if this other works out I'll pick ya up/put ya up....... man come on bro

Ok without further ado... my new fire wires arrived and yes I did drag home another 4spd car...look for a separate post in 5

Whats the SPD on your Cuda?

C07 so I'm told that's 12/07/1971 door VIN decal says 12 71

Thats sounds right. If it was 813 I'd be freaked out.

I installed the Fire Core wires and they are a little longer than my MSD's, so now I'll look into some new plug wire locating hardware.

Neighborhood kid likes to work on his Dad's and bro's Harleys and came by with an exhaust that had a broken bolt. I carefully drilled it to just below the thread inner diameter and tapped it from behind (then I found my easyouts )

Then Lauren wanted me to get her new dresser upsatairs, so I had the young man return the favor.

I still managed to get a few things done to the car but need to address the carb to see if it's dumping fuel and why it won't adjust for decent vacuum. I have a power valve dummy plug to install while I investigate. Probably just the fuel dumping due to low vacuum at idle

forgot to mention i just made this thread earlier today:

Thanks, PM me for info if you need.

I thought I had a link to the the paint data is in this thread (must have been another thread though) to their catalog etc. It's a Planet Color "Rugged texture" product, Black textured PCR2. Sending a PM with some stuff you might like to see


EDIT: Found it here's the link to the paint found earlier in the thread "It's made by planet color and it's probably not cheap my painter tacked on a few bills over the initial esitmate this is it http://www.planetcolor.com/en/Products/~/media/Shared/Planet-Color/catalog.ashx about 15 pages in. "

I used to pull about 11" of vacuum at idle when I lived in Las Vegas. The car sat for a few years then I finished paint and body and now it's only pulling about 7" of vacuum.... but I'm at 5500ft now

At any rate I put a dummy plug in the power valve, changed the oil and might start to finish items. I need it ready before fathers day weekend.
I'll certainly put some fuel in it and have it out for at least a short drive this weekend so I can change the oil again. I might fire up another Mopar this weekend


EDIT: came home, immediately dusted it off a little,went for some fresh fuel, then put a few miles on it. I got a few looks, thumbs ups, a few comments like "nice car" or "nice ride" feel good. I have some dead/soft header collector gaskets for it too


Took it out again around 9:30pm and had a little fun. Even had a Cop roll up and say it looked and sounded good man, whats in it? Wanna run officer? LOL fuzzy pic ...I was stopped

Decided to recheck the Cuda's origanl parts. I stashed the origianl engine and parts for later.

The starter is dated for 71, so was the cars build
