FM Bluetooth Radio Conversion
My radio did work, but there's not too many AM radio stations, so what's a feller to do? Get it converted! I had my buddy Rick at Rick's Radio Conversions give it the full conversion, and there's an app for that, too! This is not a paid endorsement at all, I've known Rick for years and there was nobody else I trusted to work on my radio.
Here's the link to the function test done by Ricks Radio Conversions before he shipped it back.

The trunk hinges are a weak point on the 65, 65 & 66 Barracudas, and if they're not broken, they fit so bad that the trim gets broken. Here's a close up of the situation and how you could fix them.

    Does the ballast resistor generate enough heat to melt plastic? I'm thinking of zip-tying the ballast resistor to the ribbed plastic cable organizer in the vicinity of the ignition coil... (the ribbed plastic stuff around a bundle of wires.) I don't want any more holes in our rusty old 1979 Toyota Pickup... so I can avoid more avenues for rust.😉

    3.23 was the standard slant 6 ratio for a manual. Pretty sure my Torqueflte 65 Barracuda had that in too. Changed it for an 8-3/4 with the 10” brakes. That’s the way to go with the V8. Never came across a 3.91 Sure Grip 7-1/4. That’s a rare one for sure. Drag racing with a 7-1/4? Sure to fail 😁

      Holley's are not the 'be all end all' you think they are ? One little pufter intake reversion or backfire can very easily rupture the power valve enrichment circuit and they run like shiat ! Not to mentioned the emulsion tube metering systems sensitivity to changing weather patterns compromised by 6 psi minimum FP needle/seat requirements not often inherent with classic Cars systems ? Just say'in.... while Holley's typically can offer some very consistent fuel metering WoT conditions across the rom range, in my view .... their overall "drive-ability" across more varied road conditions is not stellar. And on the Engine Dyno we have rarely seen any Holley 4160/4150 series outperform a similarily sized Carter AFB/AVS on restoration/mild perf builds for HP/Trq exhibited .... and more recently the AVS2 offerings seem to trump all else including any Holley's ? No wars wanted.... just my opinions/observations Machine/Assembling and then Dyno'ing every engine before they leave.
