70barracuda

Custom build. I called them up and they have an order sheet which you fill out. I think it was $450 ish. Whatever they charge for an off the shelf one. The guy told me it was very similar to a blazer with some minor tweaks.

That's the dealership right? 😁

LS swap and running terminator here

I will be there for the whole weekend

Hell yeah. I'll definitely be there.

I never did find out if the electric worm gear is the same. But you can take apart the manual regulator and swap parts. The channel where it rides is just crimped together. Just carefully bend it and you can slide the whole worm gear out. I had 3 different bad ones and made 1 good regulator out of it.

Haven't had a chance yet. I still got the motor torn down for heads and a cam so it'll be a bit before I can drive it. Wheels are 17s. 235 55 front and 275 55 rear Generals.

Another upgrade done. Still a long list to go..

Stopping is almost as important as going fast....almost

Probably been posted before but I was at Raceway park NJ today for the swap meet and this was wayyyy in the corner all neglected. Probably hasn't ran because they tore up the drag strip a couple years ago. Beautiful black interior as well...

Yeah it's the preload inserts for the ball joint. I'm using the 86 to 89 4wd knuckles for the wilwood brake kit. Pipe thread would make sense now that you mentioned it. It looks as though someone put a spot of weld at the very end so I'm just gonna see how it goes as is now.

Cleaning up some knuckles. Ball joint inserts fought me the whole way but I got them out. The last few threads are pretty bad though. Anyone know the size so I can run a tap through? 1 inch / 8 is too small.

235/55/17 front and 275/55/17 for the back

I had 2 water leaks from that area. One was the hood release cable. It was getting wet underneath the hood and traveled down the cable, through the grommet, and into the cab and hit a wire and traveled across till it dropped....that was a fun one to find. The other was the seam of the firewall right next to the clutch master. But again the water followed a wire and then dropped like 6 inches away. I had someone hold a hose on the windshield and let the water run down it like in the rain while I was underneath the dash watching.

So redid most the wiring under the hood including ground cleanup and now it works fine??? The amp wire runs by what I cleaned up. Maybe I was getting excessive interference?

I wish somebody made a modern vintage looking cassette head unit. Even though I bought this one NOS it's still 30 years old. Modern units just don't fit the aesthetic

Having an issue with my sound system. It's a pioneer headunit, 4 pioneer speakers (only doors are run through amp), and a pioneer amplifier. Put it in last summer and it worked great. Now all of sudden it's acting wierd. On radio, when I turn the volume up it will cut out and I won't be able to get it back until I lower the volume. Also sounds real staticy and not great. When playing a cassette tape it's clear as day and I can go as loud as possible. I'm thinking maybe an issue with the antenna or coax? Maybe a ground issue?

I went with the 3.19. I found 3.2 on a couple websites. 3.125 only once. Thanks.

Does anyone know the width of the front leaf spring bushing? I've found 3.19 in and 3.125 in. Need to know exact if anyone has an idea.

I used a propane torch to get mine off. Just burnt it off and then polished and it looked great. Just don't breath the smoke in...

can't even tell I swapped the plugs

I was able to depin and save the plug and retainer. Ordered some new pins and will connect everything up according to your right up. Thanks!

Have the nicer quartz clock out of an 86 and want to put it in my 88. 86 had blue connector with 5 wires, 88 had black connector with 4 wires. Found the gojeep page about the clocks and wiring diagrams and it seems I really only need to connect Red, blue, and ground to make it work. I don't need the dim function. Anyone do this swap? Just want to make sure I'm correct in the wires.

Finally got the new oil cooler in. -10an lines, thermostat, and really nice diverter. Wayyyy better than my old set up.

The first 2 pictures are mine now. Then the last picture is all I can find for replacements. Nothing with the correct speedometer connector and nut on the same cable.
