New guy 74 Cuda

Just retired from the military and picked up a pretty sweet gig. I’ve been a fan of the Cuda for ever and now I’ve got one.
It is a 74 360 4speed numbers matching 88k Miles.
It has been pampered the paint is 10 years old, tranny was just rebuilt new clutch 8 3/4 rear. Just wanted to say hi.

Man, if it had wings it would fly!! I never could have told anyone what a '74 Cuda looked like, or was until now. I'm a new Mopar fan, lol! Looking at it, blows the doors off the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro for 1974. Can't believe Dodge continued this long into the muscle car era. Congrats on your retirement!

Thanks rat,

i think ive been sold a bill... jk I’m happy with the purchase I just now know why he sold it 😜

So I was having electrical problems, should have just put a bypass jumper under the hood, ha not,
has anyone here heard of a miller c-4113
Well with a little stress and running out of time I purchased a tie rod end puller, drilled a 1” hole through the side and wala. A some what accurate c-4113. It’s used to push the pin out of the locking gear on the stealing colum. The ignition switch is behind that..... it would seem someone has had this off before, there is galling around the pin hole and I had to use a puller on the loving ring as well. If anything this is reminding me of my first... car. 53 ******* 3b with a 302. It had too much torque and tore up everything. Great learning experience.
I have to say this is a whole lot sexier than the Jeep.
