    71 340 E body w/factory A/C. Has anyone ever "up'd the ante" of the blower's output to move more air?

    Thanks for the prompt reply, and the schematic. I did a little Youtube surfing and along with this, I pretty much understand it now. Cheers! Dave

    71 340 E body w/factory A/C. Has anyone ever "up'd the ante" of the blower's output to move more air?

    Hello Katfish, I've finally got my system recharged and running (somewhat) normally. I checked voltage at the motor and at the resistor and I'm only getting about 7.8 volts! No wonder it's so wheezy. I ran a wire from the battery to the blower motor and the difference was immediate and as you...

    Woodgrain Steering Wheel Restoration

    B5, I used a guy down in Ohio, who is a GTO guy, but he did a phenomenal job on my E body wheel for my Cuda, and also my B body woodgrain wheel for my Road Runner. Al Tepper is his name. As EV2 mentioned, Doug Lepak is the guy for concours type stuff, and his work is flawless, but expensive. Al...

    1970-1971 B'cuda windshield, door glass sets

    ECS Automotive Concepts Talked to these guys at MCACN. They'll have what you need, although it's generally 4+ weeks and pricey. Quality costs $. Good luck! 🤞

    Does Anyone Know A Vendor That Repairs/Restores OE A/C lines/Hoses?

    Thanks Chally, TonySRT, and MoparLeo for your replies. Looks like Cold Hose is the place I need to contact. I'll be using R12 in the system for the re-do. I'll likely pull the heater box and rebuild that as well since my blower motor is a bit noisy. Again, thanks as aways to folks on here who...

    Does Anyone Know A Vendor That Repairs/Restores OE A/C lines/Hoses?

    Looking to find a provider that repairs (or restores) original equipment A/C lines/Hoses? Looks like Classic Auto Air no longer offers this service. Does anyone have a source they've used for this? Looking to keep the OE system on my Cuda as close to original as I can. As always, thanks for any...

    Looking for A Source That Restores E & B Body Cassette Player/Recorders

    Does anyone know a source for repairs/restoration of Mopar cassette players/recorders that were used on E & B bodies in 71 - 74? I have one that looks good esthetically, but know it needs the internals inspected and repaired. At the very least the belts are likely glue-like. Any references...

    Fire extiguisher location

    I have a 2.5lb Halon type that I "mount" to the carpet directly behind the drivers seat with velcro. No drilling. It's low enough that if in a (!) hard collision, it won't become a projectile. It's mostly hidden from view but can be easily removed for nit-picky type shows.

    71 340 E body w/factory A/C. Has anyone ever "up'd the ante" of the blower's output to move more air?

    Guys, thank you all for your replies. :thankyou: I'm a bit slow on my follow up. I am running R12 as the system is all stock. Based on some of your replies, sounds like I better check voltage(s) at the motor at the different speeds. I believe the resister IS working as the speed does change...

    71 340 E body w/factory A/C. Has anyone ever "up'd the ante" of the blower's output to move more air?

    Question for any E body HVAC savvy folks or restorers who have done their own rebuilds... Has anyone modified the system to get the blower (motor and/or squirrel cage) set up to move more air into the cabin when operating in the A/C mode? My simple mind says perhaps a faster spinning motor, or...

    Fire Extinguishers

    I have black 2.5 lb Halon extinguishers in all of my cars. Mounted behind the drivers seat on the floor near the kick up. I bought this cool looking label on eBay with chrome finish and black lettering with the Plymouth logo that made it look like a dealer option part! (Sorry, I don't have pic...

    Working on my E-Body Mopar, Aluminum carve designs.

    Lee, these latest improvements are spot on! The alterations to the Road Runner shock design and placement, exhaust changes, and clean up of the underbody area are all huge improvements. I love the front shot of the 71 Cuda as well. When you finally sort these out to your liking, and are ready...

    Working on my E-Body Mopar, Aluminum carve designs.

    Wow, looks really nice! A couple suggestions if you'll permit me? (Honestly, I'm not sure how difficult it would be to do these...) 1) The shocks seem too long and extend too close to the ground. 2) the area between the Dana center section and the shocks would look better in the lighter color...

    Working on my E-Body Mopar, Aluminum carve designs.

    These all look great! Some very nice work. As Rich said earlier, you've got to do a 71 Cuda! I'd take a couple for sure, and since I have a 69 B body, I'd love some of a Road Runner too!

    F8 Metallic

    Dadeo, recently read the Hemmings MM article on your Challenger. Absolutely stunning car! My painter did something similar on my F8 70 GTX many year ago when he added some pearl into the paint, and it really did pop a bit more in the sun. Hopefully, I'll get to see your car around town...

    FOUND E Body Inside Hood Release Cable, Bracket & Handle Assembly

    Looking for a OE 73-74 inside hood release cable with handle and mounting bracket. I believe these were optional on Challengers (and likely Barracuda/Cuda) in 1973 and 1974? The photo below shows one in the vertical position just above the e-brake release. I would like retro-fit one on my 71...

    FOR SALE The great used wiring harness sale

    Matt, I know this thread is E body centric, and not to hijack it, but... might you have a 69 B Body non rally dash harness, specifically the map light harness or even just the socket and pigtail? I have the bezel and switch. If so, will you be at the WPC meet on Sunday? Since I'm local, I'll...
