That's a great idea.

No arguements there junkyard. Other things to consider are where are those heads produced and developed. I realise many companies are doing the design work in the US but having the castings done in China due to costs, and then doing machining in the US. Some saving but even CNC machining local...

That's where some good training comes in.

Thanks for the replies. I am thinking I am going to just run it as is. Engine run temps are good and I have seen some people even drill a small hole in the thermostat for other reasons without adverse effects

Morning, windy again today. Getting old, can't stand to be outside, will work on the barracuda today.

I have a Joe's Racing caster/camber gauge. The avatar has Weld ProStar wheels. All I have to do is remove the center caps then the dust caps and the gauge magnetically attaches to the hub without issue. For turning plates, this hack uses heavy, thick garbage bags folded over multiple times...

I think that's the propaganda machine making folks uneasy. I've done a LOT of Stupid Human Tricks without any random things occurring :thumbsup:

I picked this trunk mat up a few years ago at a swap meet and now that I am ready to install it in my 68 fastback I found out it is for the coupe or convertible. It is the heavy rubber one, it has a few small marks on it that you can see in my pictures. $100.00 shipped in the USA look at the...

Maybe my thermostat housing has a cavity for the thermostat that is is larger than it needs to be… thought it was an aftermarket one that was true to the original specs/sizes.

One gotcha on buying pre-coated headers is you might end up needing to ding them here and there. And by ding I mean you might need to beat the living crap out of them to get them to fit. I needed to make power steering and torsion bar clearance on the Doug's that going are in my 71. If you're...

I Absolutely agree with Demonracer leave the original hood untouched. You can also order a fiberglass hood with the scoop already installed and save yourself a lot of labor. They will put it in the correct spot if you are going to use a stock transmission mount location.

Doing sheet metal today, the filler panel for the cowl. Hindsight tells me i should have made multiple panels.

Lubricate the bearings on the blower with Break-Free. It dissolves the varnish lubes the bearings

I have my limiters off of the transmission to the cross member.

Too funny. I am still weight limited so I had to call in a friend to help me pull my A833OD so I could figure out why it is getting stuck in 4th. No idea where I would be without friends.

Agreed. I grew up around firearms but have no clue whatsoever how to handle a handgun. Frankly, they terrify me. Im my mind its too easy to make a mistake..

this thread really went off the rails, it's kind of a shame.... anyway, my personal preference for a 90% street driver, I don't like high RPM's on the highway, I've been soothed too much since I started driving in '91 from my duster with it's 3.23's and factory A833OD, 5th ave's with 2.24...

Two different trunk mat materials were available in 1968 depending on vender availability. Only one is available today.

There is something called a freezer alarm. Could save a feller some grief..

Find yourself a used copy of Holley Carburetors and Manifolds by Bill Fisher and Mike Urich, any edition. You're buying for a good intro into how carbs work and the diagrams, not the marketing content. Alternatively for less, the smaller Holley Carburetor Handbook, Models 4150 & 4160...

I thought you used a pilot bushing not a bearing?

Oh, God! That ditty is so damn annoying...I can't hit the Mute button fast enough!

They are a blast to drive.

diameter?

Yes only read 1/2 so far.

You’re one of the lucky one’s

1968 Barracuda NOS Passenger side Grill In the factory box In very nice condition 800.00 plus shipping

Good guess but not correct. -7 is the revision C is the dichromate finish The number underneath is the date code. For example, from the 2018 catalog. So either the current revision changed meter blocks etc, or the photo is wrong because the marketing staff is clueless. My bet is the latter...
