May have been from pumping accelerator when trying to start, I don't recall the context, just said he sees it frequently on this model, maybe just noticed a lot of side play and it was air and not gas. I could have had a memory problem on the gas versus air, happens all the time. Agree there's...

I have the same question for my '64 Barracuda, running super rich, let me know how the rebuild or new carb works, or of if I do it first will post. There is a good Uncle Tony's Garage video on the Chinese knock-offs and their shortcomings, specifically the Carter 2-BBl on his '65 Barracuda 273...

Don't know about the quality, but just ordered a set of bosch shoes from this ebay retailer for my '61 Valiant practice car, really reasonable with free shipping: Bosch Brake Shoes for sale | eBay. Anyone know where I can get a grease cap and the straight bar with spring that spans the two...

So much good advice here, really does make your head spin. One very little, but I think effective tip, Harbor Freight has a small telescoping magnet (not the bigger one) that is weak enough to let go on relatively thin bondo'ed areas. Much cheaper than a paint gauge. Check the underside of...

Looking for 14" Rally wheels with 4" circle. Have three but maybe one good beauty ring. Are you selling the take-offs?

Got it, thanks! '65 is close enough except for last year '64 push-button trans.

Thanks for looking, once I get arm off and disassembled will see if I can find a spring somewhere that I can make work. In the mean time I managed to slide the defective wiper arm/blade past the inspector on my state inspection, it does go back and forth with the driver side! Both springs on...

Thanks for the help, I ordered some external springs on Amazon, but they wouldn't fit the dinky classic-style wiper arms. The joint is too close to the mount and there just isn't enough room for the end of the spring, and also too close to the body so would rub, back to square one. I am going...

You will definitely not be able to run wide tires. My '62 Valiant had the adapters and I had to be careful on tire size, and that was with 14" wheels. Here is a pic of my '61 recently picked up in Omaha. It runs and goes into gear, but not drive-able. Next step is ignition switch, master...

Where can I get the service manual for a '64 Barracuda? The mymopar site only goes back to 2005.

Just brought home a ' Just brought home a 64 Barracuda with a bad wiper spring. Still has the original wiper arms, looks like blades are crimped on to end of arm, too, so appears not replaceable. A new blade refill was found for the driver's side (with the good spring) to allow driving in the...

Love the color, inside similar? Send an interior pic. Mine had Oregon plates, last registered in '94 and similar patina.

Here's the '61 Valiant V200 sedan I carried home from Omaha this summer. No enhancements yet other than popping a couple original dog dishes on, and re-installing the shift buttons in the dash. Having a lot of fun freeing up each rusted and stuck part after 30 years of sitting. So far its the...

i got it home yesterday and messed with it some today. First order of business (same as my '62) was to free up the rusted hood hinges. Its a 170 cast iron (I had the alum block in the '62 my grandparents gave me in '74, major head gasket problems there.) Could move the crank by hand when...

Leaving for Omaha tomorrow to pick this one up (they had the model year wrong): 1962 plymouth valiant for sale by owner - Carter Lake, IA - craigslist Floor pans are rusted and engine doesn't turn over but the car appears complete, body panels are still solid, and price was right. It was a...
