Could you post a pic of the broken stud position on the trim?

So after initially scrubbing this idea for Steve for his 67 Barracuda with 15" sbp wheels, I had a thought. Get this wheel which will fit in the trunk well and buy a 4" to 4.5" adapter. That solves both problems! 1" 1960s Mopar Chrysler 5x4 to 5x4.5 WHEEL Billet Adapters SAE 1/2x20 studs/nuts...

You are correct 33IMP ! I thought Steve had converted to 4.5 . I missed the sbp 15" Sorry Steve!!

Hey Steve, Not sure if you remembered this but MoparMatt2000 put me on to this for a spare, 24" and will fit the spare wheelwell and keep a flat trunk floor. Aluminum Lincoln town car spare. There must be hundreds of these cars in salvage yards in Toronto as they were airport limo's I'm...

Awesome! Very clean car and love the "wheels up" pic. I've always said Plymouth missed the mark by not making this body style and the convertible in Formula S trim.

That is sweet!!

That's exactly the experience I had with my unit also built by Spectra who also made my gas tank RRR. No issues with mine either.

Agreed but just pointing out that if he wanted to, it could be done by the op himself. I do get your point though.

I think the person/business that prepped the parts for shipping is directly responsible and should make this right. No way were those parts making it back to the customer unscathed ,packaged the way they were.

Here's my grill sections, done at home with no special tools but, a lot of time and patience and, they were the originals and pretty rough after 50+ years, especially the headlight trim bezels.

BTW, folks, A few years back I posted a trick I discovered for painting the black stripe on my 68 Barracuda Grill, trunk trim and console lid. I completed this about 6-7 years ago and black stripes are still perfect. Here is is again for anyone who's interested. These grills and exterior...

The parts can definitely be repaired.

Hey RRA, I just used interac at the local post office.

Have you priced upper and lower 1968 Barracuda trunk trim lately? Here's what it costs to replace. Pipe is cheap and almost indestructible insurance in comparison. https://www.classicindustries.com/product/all-years/plymouth/barracuda/parts/ma1867.html

Nope! I used them to ship parts in tubes. Unless something changed in the last year or so... EDIT: Hi Mopar Head, just checked on-line and you can still ship in round tubes. You may be charged a little more because the sorting machinery has a hard time moving a round tube so its sorted by...

Hey folks, I found a sure fire way to ship trim to be restored to protect it from damage. Use black PVC pipe and end caps. Lots of different diameters available. Tell your supplier to re-use it to ship back. Best part is you can use it around the house for repairs after you get it back!

Yeah, you're right, nothing is easy. I remembered this from helping my brother as he is a Ford fanatic. A lot of the 8 and 9 inch ford rear ends are shared across the car and truck platforms so check fittings for the Ford Bronco as well.

Hey barbee6043, I'm thinking the Ford F-150 pickup uses the same vent tube fitting. See here for details. Cheers! https://www.lmctruck.com/1973-79-ford/drivetrain/fc-1973-79-rear-axle-breather-vent EDIT : Just re-read your post and I now see what you are trying to do. I would see if...

Easy peasy! No issues what so ever.

Here's what I would do in this situation. Start the car and wait until it dies. 1. Pull an ignition wire off a spark plug and have someone turn the engine over while holding the boot close to a metal surface on the engine. If the ignition is working , you should see a spark at the boot...

Just in case you were wondering how the system sounds, here's my 68 Barracuda the first day I took it out of the garage after completing the re-assembly of the car.

Here's a great article from Holly on headers. https://www.holley.com/blog/post/long_tube_vs_short_tube_headers_which_is_right_for_you_/#:~:text=The%20rule%20of%20thumb%20is,produce%20better%20top%2Dend%20horsepower.

Wow! Its amazing what a vast improvement you made with a sawzall and a 4 lb sledge!

Well... I chose shorties for a different reason. Ground clearance with a 4-speed. The driver side pipes with the long tubes just hung too low for me and didn't give me the look I wanted. No argument that there is a performance trade-off by not using long tubes but I don't think its a lot. My car...

Here's one site that has reproductions. No heat riser that I can see though. 1968-71 340 Exhaust Manifolds Duster Dart Plymouth Cuda TA AAR Challenger GTS 70 – Mopar Hoods Here's the option I chose. Worked out great for me. https://www.ttiexhaust.com/TTi34025.htm#pricing

Agreed Steve! Here's a pic of mine mounted directly to the floor with a gasket between it and the lower firewall/ footwell .

Agreed! This has all the symptoms of bad connections, especially grounds.

If I remember correctly, the gas pedal assembly has a mounting pad that bolts directly to the floor with a gasket between the bracket and the floor. Carpet goes over the bracket.

Here's a very correct reproduction. 2889951 - 1967-76 Dart, Barracuda, Valiant, Duster; Windshield Wiper Arms; Anco Style; Pair
