    Doug's headers not fitting - frustration

    How do you like the 391 gears? I was thinking of putting them in my 66 barracuda. I have a dyna rear I'm putting in it. I built a 360 magnum motor for it pushing 470 hp. It was a tight fit. Had to go serpentine belt change and a different ps pump.

    Doug's headers not fitting - frustration

    According to your datum sheet which is the same as mine from the front k-frame bolt hole to the l position is 44.85 on both sides. If they are the same on your car then chances are that the tranny crossmember is out of Wack. So I would think to oblong the member holes or maybe try a different...

    Window Glass Question

    Painting is the least of your problem. Is there any way possible to fasten the bracket with small nuts and bolts or screws. If you can use a nut and bolt I would lock tight it in place. This would avoid messing up the paint. Mike

    Window Glass Question

    It would seem your new shells are 3 years newer and won't work unless you do a lot of relocating of the brackets. I have 40 years in the body and fender field and have seen a lot of this. Some people will tell you what you want to hear and then sell you the wrong stuff anyway just to get rid of...

    Doug's headers not fitting - frustration

    I bought Doug headers for my 66 barracuda. Paid over 1000.00 for them and had a similar problem. The instructions where not that clear, So I called and asked what I was doing wrong. Turned out I had to cut the headers apart at the flange and the instructions said to do that only if I used...
