I have a 1971 Plymouth Cuda. Stock is a 383 HP big block, 727 transmission, 3.23 Sure-Grip diff (489 case). It is a 2-fender tag car (highly optioned). Highlights are A/C, power brakes, front disc brakes, rear defroster, and AM/FM radio. I bought the car complete and drivable.
I am doing minor restoration work as well as some performance and efficiency upgrades. What does this mean? I love driving the car and it appears to be a numbers-matching car so I do not want to ruin it. Therefore, the 727 transmission and 383 block will be removed and set aside. In their place will be a 47RH transmission and a 400 CI Big Block. The 47RH with Ultra-Bell and upgrades along with the 400 BB with either a 451 or a 470 stroker kit will go in their place. I don't know if I'll get there but hopping that when done I might be able to hit 20mpg on the highway (3.23 gears, OD and lockup and a well tuned carb are going to be key).
Thanks, John.

In this video I show the AN fittings used and how I bent 5/16 copper nickle tube to go from the AN fittings, around the distributor and down to the fuel filter. Then I start up the car. I checked for leaks off camera and there were none so I would say the AN wrenches did a good job of allowing enough torque to tighten things down...

Thanks for sharing John. Very nice installation, very professional job. Certainly a nice upgrade. Thanks for the tips on the Speedway wrenches. 🔧 Have a great day.👍🇺🇸👍
Thank you Ed. Much appreciate you watching and commenting.
Very nice car, beautiful. 👍👍 Thanks for sharing John.
I agreed. It was nice seeing the other E-Body at a car show.
We've all had to make a bunch of weird fitting combinations to get the things we want. Your bent hardline from the filter to the fittings look good. I'm assuming you're running a regulator somewhere? You may have mentioned it and I forgot. That's generally the last thing before the carburetor to keep exact set pressure, and no pressure drop that most stock and aftermarket filters cause by their restrictive nature.
I'm not running a pressure regulator yet. It is on the " to do" list. I've watched your videos and I've started looking for a good dead head regulator as the stock tank and pickup don't have a return line provision. Any recommendations??
@@Scarlet_1971_cuda stock tanks aren’t a concern really. There is a very cheap way to add a return line to one of you find out you’d be better off with a return type system. For the deadhead stuff, I’m not overly picky. I have a very cheap Holley 12-803 on my truck. As I start working through the next tuning videos I’ll be releasing, you’ll see that I switched to an Edelbrock 8190. Is just a bit higher quality and it’s made in the US and a much better regulator.
Thank you!!
Woohoo, no leaks!!👍👍
YES!!! I was very happy that there were no leaks on the first try!!
Awesome video JOHN. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend.
Thank you very much!!
Great Job!!👍👍
Thank you! 👍
Cool! Have fun with your AVS2!
I plan too. Thank you for all you help. You have a great channel full of good info on these Edelbrock carbs.
Same carb I have! I think you are going to like it alot
Thank you. I think so too. With the stock intake manifold, heads and exhaust, I just don't think it will breath enough to justify a 750 or 850 CFM carb. I'm really looking forward to it. Now if my delivery will just get here...
Looks good
Thank you!!
Great video John. Glad to see you're still at it. 👍🏼
Still at it. Finances are very tight right now so it is going slow, but it is going... Thank you for the encouragement.
Awesome video JOHN. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night.
Thank you very much. Looking forward to getting the fuel line on. UPS was supposed to deliver 2 days ago... still waiting...
Nice video 👍
Thank you
Hi great video thanks. In your video it showing the black stock alternator positive wire still hooked up along with the new 4 gauge. I was under the assumption that the 12 gauge black stock alternator wire should be left disconnected. Can you confirm? Do you still need to jump the ammeter at the dash?
In my situation I have both connected. Why? Because I have not bypassed the stock AMP meter. Therefore, since in general electricity takes the path of least resistance, only the amperage needed by the electronics, laps, radio, etc., that is needed by that equipment takes the stock 12 gauge wire. All the other Amps go through the slow-blow fuse and to the battery. In my case, if I removed the stock wire, the car wouldn't start as there is no other wire providing that function. My setup is not a complete rewire/re-do. It just keeps the extra amps from burning out the wireing.
@@Scarlet_1971_cuda Okay thanks that makes sense. I am running a Fitech FI throttle body which is wired separately. I added a relay box and bypassed the ballast resistor. My car starts no problem and the system Is charging. In my case would there be any benefit to reconnecting the 12 awg wire?
If all your lights, gauges and such work, then they are getting power from some other wire and you should be fine so long as that other wire is of the appropriate AWG to support the load. In a stock system, that is the only wire providing power to the dash and everything feeds off that wire. If it is working without it, you should be fine so long as your replacement wires support the load.
This is literally one of the best working project series I’ve seen for something extremely useful.
Thank you very much. I hope you start hooking up some of the simple sensors this week.
I have added links to the crimp tool, pins, sockets and connectors used to attach the sensors to the data logger in the video notes. I hope you find it useful.
Thanks for the links. Back when I was an intern, built several instrumentation cables with the 14 sets of shielded twisted pair 22 awg wire into the MIL-DTL-38999 (Series 3) connectors. Later got to use the MIL-DTL-38999 series 4 connectors on test equipment. When using the same shell sizes on the same equipment, I ordered the different shell/connector keying so they couldn't be connected to the wrong place. For my car stuff, I have been using the metri-pack connectors to save some money compared to the Deutsch connectors and crimper prices. I think most of the sensors are also metri-pack 150 connectors.
@zerogmopars746 I'm glad to do it.
Looks great! I like the sealed panel mount circular connectors too. What crimping tool are you using for the circular connectors? Some of those (DMC) crimpers are really expensive.
@zerogmopars746... Thank you. I'm using the JRready crimper. At $130 it is not cheap, but it does 3 sizes (12, 16 and 20) so if you need all 3 it is better than paying $45 per size for individual crimpers and it comes with a nice case to store it in. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CL1S23MS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 If you have won the lotto, then the official Amphenol Sine unit may be for you at almost $1,200!!! www.waytekwire.com/product/amphenol-sine-systems-ca-5d12-universal-hand

The hole on the bottom is for an l shaped bracket that mounts to the floor.
Good to know... Do you have a picture or a link showing the bracket. Obviously it is missing on my 'cuda and if it is supposed to be there, I would like to see if I can find some to put them on.
Have you done the overdrive transmission swap yet? With your electronics skills, you could use the 46/47RE transmission. Are you going to data log all the sensors that EFI uses? O2, TPS, Air Temp plus extras like Fuel pressure, Flex Fuel sensor, Knock sensor?
I have not done overdrive transmission swap yet. I picked up a 47RH and put an Ultrabell housing on it. I need to figure out the torque convert, the cross brace situation and then a shorter drive shaft so there more $$$ involved than I have right now. For the data logger, I have it set up for Date, Time, Engine RPM, TPS, dual O2 Sensors (it is a V8), MAP x2 (one for reference on for manifold), Fuel pressure, Oil Pressure, Trans Pressure, Oil Temp, Trans Temp, Coolant Temp and send it to a display as well as write it to an SD card. I am also collecting ambient Air Temp and Humidity but the sensor I'm using is not under hood rated. I'm not going to go EFI. I like the simplicity of a Carb.
@@Scarlet_1971_cuda Sounds good. With the trans governor pressure and temp, MAP, RPM, and TPS you have good info for overdrive and lockup code. Cope Transmissions just posted some info on the overdrive swap, but he used the adjustable pressure switches. The RE trans has the pressure and temp sensors inside the transmission, but would have to monitor the trans speed sensor and PWM the governor pressure solenoid.
Nice!
Thanks!
Looking good! What pressure sensors are you using? How expensive are they? Also, What tools are you using for the PCB layout? I used to have a student version of OrCad and P-Spice (like 30+ years ago.)
The pressure transducer senders are cheap Amazon specials. I paid about $15 each for them. This is the oil pressure unit - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Y756B5V. They are +-2%. I have no idea how long they will last on the car, but for bench testing and a proto type I didn't want to go expensive. The good news is from the Arduino perspective the 5v sensors are all the same. PCB layout - I'm using KiCad v8.02 (www.kicad.org/). It is free and fairly easy to use. DigiKey has some footprint files that can be integrated so you don't need to create as many footprints. However, once you have created 1 or 2 footprints on your own it turns out to be really easy, just a bit time consuming... There are also a large number of helpful youtube videos on KiCad to help you if you get stuck.
@@Scarlet_1971_cuda Thank you, that's some great information. I'll have to try the Kicad software.
This is the KiCad tutorial that I used to get started - ua-cam.com/video/vaCVh2SAZY4/v-deo.html

I 100% Agree. Thank you!!
Hey John. The headlights look great! You've pretty much convinced me to do the same on our 71 ragtop. I noticed the link you provided is down. It looks as though the listing was removed. I found the same set on Amazon though, can't wait to try them out!
Bummer. I guess that is the problem with posting links. They are helpful but only for a short time. Glad you found them on Amazon.
hey, im trying to find these anywhere, including amazon. can you share the amozon link or item number please?
In an ocean of ‘70 Cudas the ‘71 is my fave. This colour/billboard combo is also my fave. Beautiful car mate! BTW are those 16” rallyes.? 👍🇦🇺
Very sorry for the late reply. I will try to do better.... Thank you very much!! I agreed the '71 is my fave as well. Those are '17 Year One Rallye wheels. I have a video on them. 8 inch wide in the front and 9 inch wide in the back.

Wish the car show was in Oklahoma. After looking at Scarlet, I’d buy you a beer, or three 😊 - Always enjoy seeing her in the wild 😊
If I get 500 subs I'm be taking her to the #nonamenational... If I get the subs it would be good to see you.

How’s the Mopar attendance at the show? Any other Cudas?
No other 'cudas. There is a 73 Challenger. The only other cuda I ever see is a 70 at Gator Harly Davidson.
