What are the numbers on the AFB? Should be 3854s for 1965, 4120s for 1966, or 4295s for 1967. All will work well. Sounds like intake valves are leaking. Find TDC on the compression stroke and make sure the rotor is under the #1 plug wire. Double check your plug wire positions, VR1 oil is good. That is what I have run for 40 years.

My carb number is 3858. It's back on the car for now. Still have visions of getting it started at some point before pulling the engine.

AI says carbs correct for that car:
Edelbrock Performer 1404 Carburetor: 500 CFM, 4 Barrel, Square Bore, Manual Choke Inlet
Holley 4160 Series 600 CFM 4 Bbl Carburetor
Holley 4150 Series Double Pumper 4 Bbl Carburetor

Anyone else ever asked AI car questions? pi.ai is free. I did catch it making a mistake saying the 65 Barracuda had a 13 digit VIN. lol

Can anyone verify the information that the VIN is on the firewall? I've been trying to locate it.

On a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda, you can find the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in several locations:

• The VIN is stamped on a plate that is attached to the left front door hinge pillar, which is visible when the driver's side door is open.
• The VIN is also stamped on the vehicle's firewall, which is located in the engine compartment between the engine and the interior of the car.
• The VIN may also be stamped on the frame rail, which can be found underneath the car.
