Very nice, such an original and unmolested E-body is a rare find. Congrats and welcome!
Your garage art suggests a former left coast connection???
Yeah, same here. The needles snapping off is pretty common when they start jumping around. In my case, lubing the cable didn't solve the problem, so I had to have the speedo rebuilt.
My guess is that your speedo is on its last legs, but you can remove the cable at trans, chuck it into a drill motor, and test as suggested above by @Katfish to eliminate the gear in transmission variable. Removing, cleaning, and re-lubing cable can also be done. If those two things don't work...
Thanks for the reply. I'll have to dig them out of the bag corner of my storage space to get the part numbers, which I probably won't get around to for at least a few days (or more)...
I have a set of four 14-inch rally wheels (large bolt pattern for E and B body Mopars) with trim rings and center caps (72+ acorn style) taking up storage space and would like to unload them. Is there any market still for 14-inch wheels? They have tires on them that hold air and would be OK...
For procrastinators like me, the price on these has gone up in the last couple of weeks. Get All Parts currently has them listed for $626.
Maybe Heminut's post is driving up demand...
Yup, I blew up the one in my first Barracuda, 71 318/904 car. Had pieces of gear shrapnel sticking out of the rear cover. I replaced it with a junkyard 8-3/4. Finished bolting in the new rear late one night, excited to drive my car to high school again the next day. Took it for a quick trip...
Awesome! Thank you Sir! I've been sitting on the fence about buying one of these for some time now, so am very interested to follow along and see what your thoughts are. :thumbsup:
So @RonnieT how do you fit in with this car? Assuming you are not the current owner, as you don't seem like someone that has owned an E-Body for the last 22 years. You just marketing this thing for someone else?
There are many things about this car that are not "factory" beyond the claimed dealer installed add ons and a BC/CC repaint.
Good luck with the sale. Looks to likely be a fairly solid and nice driver, but I think you chose the wrong forum to try and market this car as "a true factory-reference...
Interesting idea...
Would have to think about how to modify this setup for Plymouth E-body use since the gas cap for Cudas is accessed behind the rear license plate.
IIRC, the nut on the backside is not fixed in place. Once you loosen the bolt, you should be able to move it. May be stuck in place and will need a few taps to loosen it up.
