    1969 Plymouth Barracuda 340 Manifolds

    post a wanted ad here in the classifieds and i'm sure something will turn up. there's a set on e-bay right now. either way be prepared to open your wallet wide. if you don't care about originality or eeking out the last bit of performance 318 or 360 manifolds would work fine, as would...

    Apologies

    PM me a link or shoot one up here. or start a thread asking about it. i don't know what bodywork costs where you are, so you may need some one with more local flavor to answer that part of the question. remember, on the price i can only speak as to what something like that would likely sell for...

    Fair price for push button stuff?

    probably about 150~200 it's a good deal when you both feel like you got screwed just a little bit on the price.

    4speed conversion

    as scody21 mentioned the input bearing retainer is larger on the OD unit. the bolt pattern for the 833 is also different than the 230 so you won't be able to use your bellhousing. you'll need to source one for a OD unit, or one for a 4spd and then have the retainer register enlarged to fit the...

    Did the 1979 Lil Red Express come with an air pump?

    i'd take a lot of the information there with a grain of salt.

    [Found!] A-903 Shifter linkage repair kit

    if the hole size is correct and the price is agreeable it's worth a shot. you may just have to go the DIY route. the last one i did, i just sourced a bronze rod that was close and enlarged the center hole to make it work. the grommets i improvised with some hard rubber pieces from a...

    BBP conversion

    yes, they did make a 10" drum for 73~76. however it is small bolt pattern AND it requires a different spindle, which is the same as the disc spindle in the attachment of the upper ball joint so you need UCA's or the adapter sleeve. back to square one of having to source parts that are NLA, and...

    BBP conversion

    oh, i understand completely. to me the planned upgrade to a dual pot is a must no matter which braking choice to make. if you stick with factory bits, the upgrade is really not all that involved. the parts are out there, and you can put together the correct combo of components pretty...

    BBP conversion

    there is also adapters for the upper ball joint taper to take them from small joint to large joint. so you don't *need* later arms, but if you they're in poor shape and the bushings & joints need replaced it's more economical to go to the later arm.

    yes. common upgrade.

    [Found!] A-903 Shifter linkage repair kit

    as far as i know, nobody makes a kit. the bushing is #2781445 and you can find them on e-bay (or if you're a cheap *** like me, make your own) the grommet is #2781444. they used the same stuff in 3spd column applications up until the 80's, including trucks so that may help in your search...

    [WANTED] Power Steering complete for 69 Barracuda Slant 6

    apologies, i should've been more detailed. you can shorten the shaft and use a coupler (flaming river, universal, etx.) @BergmanAutoCraft probably can hook it up with a top quality coupler and detailed instructions/kit specifically tailored to the install. or just buy a column.

    [WANTED] Power Steering complete for 69 Barracuda Slant 6

    not necessarily, you can buy a conversion coupler for that to make up the difference in length.

    BBP conversion

    they never made BBP front drums for a bodies. if you wanted bigger drums, some cars came with 10" brakes vs the 9's which would entail grabbing a whole spindle set up. which gives you okay stopping power and a parts supply that is rapidly drying up. i mean, the consumables are still available...

    Best intake manifold and carburetor for a 273

    yeah, they're out there and usually pretty reasonable. if someone were trying to keep it on that beer budget, 318 4bbl manifolds show up at the yard pretty regular too-- i have one of them door stops kicking around-- and with a coat of red to match the engine only a train spotter would notice it...

    Best intake manifold and carburetor for a 273

    my only gripe on the commando intake is that those seem to be entering "LD territory" price wise and for that money i think there's much better pieces out there. it also limits you to a square bore (without an adaptor, but then hood clearance could be an issue) if that's an important factor. i...

    Ailing engine (Updated after teardown)

    the clean piston tops and chamber are 100% sucking water. the hi psi is probably from oil. good catch before things went all brown and round on ya. i agree on cometics if you can get them, but if the lead time is unreasonable i don't see why you couldn't just snap another set of felpros in...

    Star Fire Coolant

    ah matey dan! ye back on the rum again and too much sun? c'mon man, we don't need to relitigate the topic that we so recently covered in the past! anyway, lovely maneuver totally avoiding the point and changing the subject. hoist the main sail and tack into the wind! arrr!

    Star Fire Coolant

    dan, not to be rude or disrespectful but your insistence that you have "knowledge about cars" runs entirely contradictory to a lot of the statements you make. let's remember some hits such as: "i don't use a torque wrench" and "avanti's are muscle cars" from your seminal album "DTM summer jams...

    Best Electronic Ignition Setup for a 273

    here's my gripe about the pertronix, say the thing fails on a dirt road at the *** end of hard luck? what are your options? with OE EI the failure is *likely* going to be a ballast or ECU which, and if you've read the syllabus, you should be carrying in your glove box. but in the case of...

    Went to a car show today.

    i admire the craftsmanship and ingenuity. loves me some bass boat metal flake, too. agreed that it need some meats to fill out them rear wheel wells. i see a six pack air cleaner, what's the scoop with the rest of that rig?

    Blue pill or red pill = 675 or 920

    bro, those 920's look tore up from the floor up. if you wanna keep it on a beer budget, snap on those 675's and ship it. there's no telling what could be wrong with those 920's-- janky guides, wasted seats, bad deck, cracked, and on and on. i wouldn't run those without a hot tank, mag check...
