Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

Ok, well maybe my description was a little extreme. I dont keep broke dick **** that cannot be fixed, or at least used for parts to fix other broke dick ****. Kinda like the smoked 360 crank with spun rod bearings. This thing ran so long that way, that the grooving on #6 was .100" deep, and the bearing was gone. Just silver dust in the pan. It went on the scrap trailer, along with offending rods #5,and#6. The short block i got for pretty much dirt, and is basis for my stroker, so a junk rotating assembly didnt matter.

There actually is a difference between junk and junque. The **** people have saved on hoarders like stacks of newspapers to the ceiling, a cigarette butt collection, etc is junk, my mopar stash is junque.

So you're saying it's time for me to dispose of those piles of belly button lint and ear wax I've been collecting? OK. - But I'm not parting with the jar of toenail clippings.

The Barracuda is back together and running again. No leaks up front that I can see. I lost about a cup of coolant when I disconnected the bottom radiator hose. I'll wait to top the system back off until I have a chance to take it for a drive and see if there are any air pockets needing to be filled.

While I was waiting for the radiator repair I got ambitious and swapped out the bad brake switch I had on the F150. I felt pretty good about the day until the cruise control stopped working on my way to pick up the radiator.

Once again...
