65 Barracuda daily driver
So I last minute remembered/ saw somewhere that the "Mopars in May" thing was going on Sunday about 45 minutes away in Ontario, so I hopped in the Barracuda and went. There were two early Barracudas (and one pretty rough one for sale that I didn't even care to take a picture of).
I mostly went to find a better fender than the one I got on the car right now, but couldn't find one. Not much sheet metal at all. But I found some other cool things. A dash clock, that I don't know yet where that's gonna go, an oil pan and pick up. The oil pan looked right to me and the guy sad it was for a 318, but I noticed there aren't any holes for the for the gaskets in the front and in the back?! I'm thinking it might be a 360 oil pan?! Anyways, I found a driver side exhaust manifold for 15 bucks! The oil pan was the most expensive thing for 20 bucks!
Also picked up this old ECU for 5 bucks! Took out the new junk that I bought at O'Reilly's and put the old one in and it runs great!
There's a thread about how the newer ones have fake transistors that are really more for looks than anything:
1974 Brain Box saves the day.
Like I mentioned I bought the blue one at O'Reilly's and then I saw one on Rockauto that showed a photo of a box with a Motorola transistor. So I ordered it, but received one that was identical to the blue O'Reilly one. I complained and they gave me my money back and didn't even want the ECU back. So now I have two new spares for just in case!
