    Big block 67 Fastback Barracuda Not Mine

    Lock, latch, catch, pull, lever... call it what you want. As for the hood, I guess I should have been specific, yes just the inner panel would have the access hole for the light on the 68 hoods. 1967 1968+ Alan

    Big block 67 Fastback Barracuda Not Mine

    In the cars defense... The hood is a 67, 68s had holes for the hood mounted turn lights. You can see the vin tag on the a pilar The car has the 67 only vent window locks. Radio with knobs. When the 68s came out my grandfather thought about adding the round marker lights. Good car as-is...

    What's missing.

    The original poster is talking about a convertible. ALL 67-69 Barracuda/Dart convertibles use the same gasket, the convertible gasket uses the plastic lock strip on all three years.

    Dual ballast Ignition question.

    You are going to get some long winded responses. The ignition and charging are not (directly) related. You can put a 4-pin module one a 5-pin system (dual ballast) You cannot put a 5-pin module on a 4-pin system (single ballast) Alan

    The topless adventures of Cuda Al

    For the most part this brings me up to current, this weekend I'll start on the disassembly to pull the engine. Once the engine (and everything else) is removed I'm going to have the engine compartment repainted. As I'm putting a new k-member in the install will be bottoms up. Alan
