Hey I have a 1966 Barracuda. I’m working on being more road worthy. I have some questions about front suspension. My upper control arms need to be replaced or rebuild, what are my options? Can I just buy the parts and have my local machine shop rebuild them? I did the Kelsey Haines brake upgrade...

Here’s a meme I made of my boy Topaz.

I used some cheap kits in the mid 90s. I never had an y problems with them. Only in old timers vehicles or poor ppl that I knew didn’t have the money. Those times I barely made a few dollars to buy groceries. But I felt better for helping the less fortunate.

Local guy has a solid 67 fastback with a 318 4 speed for under 15k. Imo a reasonable price in these here parts.

I do. I don't think that I paid close enough attention to what the OP was saying

Some ignorance about idle timing on this thread. 25* with a mild cam. The engine in question has well over 200* @ 050 duration on the intake. It has 9.3:1 CR. Consider this engine: 10.75:1 CR. 197* @ 050 intake duration. Note that, all else being equal, a higher CR reduces the amount of idle...

I have not been pumping the gas pedal at all. It takes 1 pump and it starts right up, since day 1, any day, any weather/temperature. I gave it 1 pump this morning and that was it, even after multiple attempts to start. Came back in the afternoon, I gave a small pump at the carb to make sure it...

For starters I could go 4 sizes smaller fusible link IF the 12 gauge output wire is the right size. I will call O'reillys & see if they can full field an alt for max capacity amperage. I am running a large cable from battery to the main of/off switch "in" terminal & the other "out" terminal with...

more than most, less than a lot of others. it's not about what i like. it's about what is correct for the application, what fits the budget, the overall build plan and availability. i like light, forged pistons with modern, thin ring packs. but that might not be what's on the menu, so some...

I farted.

exactly! you can buy at least 10 7.25's for the price of a 8.75 and then we get to have the discussion about the difference in power between a 2.45 and a 2.76 the next time. i see this as a win-win

Did you get yourself a barracuda?

Personally the only advantage to using a Magnum block is a factory roller cam, but I don't like the way Magnum engines oil. I'll take the old LA oiling system any day of the week. Tom

dan, that was bad advice and you should feel bad for giving it.

The german also said that those rhymes came off of a fifty seven chevy that had a disc brake conversion kit on it

Just read this whole thread. Great build. I'm about to be starting back on mine soon. I'm assuming since there hasn't been any updates recently you've been pretty busy. Hopefully we will see more soon!

good comprehensive info, much appreciated. I'm gonna need some time to sort all this out. RR

73 duster 340 just factory disc brakes not 4 piston

Only work when l lift up on turn signal lever and when the turn signals work.soon as shut off turn signal either side the emergency flashers quit working and l still have flasher lever out.basically they quit when l turn off signals off.

I googled this first but couldn't find what I was looking for. How many grooves does the crankshaft pulley have for ac? If I were to install a ac system on a non factory ac car do I need to convert to the dual belt set up? The car does have factory power steering. Thanks everyone. The car is a...

Do you take paypal? Interested

health issue maybe?

Lol

Next step. Transmission build. looks clean so far, my wife wanted some ice cream so I went and got that and will get back at it in the morning. The transmission is a 1978 400/440 heavy duty, long tail shaft / rear timing. I'm interested to see all what is inside. All my new parts I ordered from...

Looks great!
