    68 Barracuda Front Suspension Rebuild Kit

    I was curious if there was a difference in the year for the tie rod ends and sleeves. I.e. I need either 67-72 or 73-76 parts for those.

    Revisiting this. What about the tie rod ends and sleeves?

    Paint Issue or Something Else?

    Tried to get photos but nothing turned out visible enough to show anything worth looking at. The garage is finished with no exposed trusses or rafters.

    Paint Issue or Something Else?

    I have been noticing pin needle size, clear sap like deposits on my front quarter panels. Garage kept and no where near trees and always appear in same spot. Could this be something coming through the paint and/or body work? Scratching my head as to where these are coming from.

    Boarder Line Low Oil Pressure

    Just to be clear, I have an LA not an Magnum. Not too sure if that changes anything. Oil looks good with no glitter but I am getting a bit of valve tick at temp and only when running at higher cruising mph/rpm. Once I drop down below 2,700ish cruising rpm the tick slowly goes away. I did throw...

    Boarder Line Low Oil Pressure

    Threw some stabilizer in and gained a few psi. Going the heavier weight route when my next oil change is due.

    Boarder Line Low Oil Pressure

    Took it out today to run through the RPM range while checking the pressure. Stays pretty consistence through the RPM range at temp. Where I live is typically back roads and never exceed 2,500 rpm. However, took it out on the main road for a few miles consistent at 50mph and 2,700 rpm. Started to...

    Front Shock Recommendation

    Good stuff here. I was planning on using race ramps to install so weight would be on the wheels during the entire install. Do I need to install with the suspension unloaded first? Instructions on their website do mention polyurethane. Can someone confirm this is accurate?

    Boarder Line Low Oil Pressure

    Throwing in a heavier weight and keeping my fingers crossed.

    Front Shock Recommendation

    Anything to note when installing both the front or rear? Hellwig provides instructions and looks pretty straight forward.

    Boarder Line Low Oil Pressure

    Autometer and replacement the sending unit about a year ago.

    Boarder Line Low Oil Pressure

    Possible. All internal work was done by previous owner.

    Boarder Line Low Oil Pressure

    Appreciate the recommendation. I'm not aware of the clearances nor did the previous owner have this info. Oil pressure has always been this way since the day I purchased it a couple years ago. Do I need to add a zinc additive to these? I currently run Lucas Hot Rod with high zinc.

    Boarder Line Low Oil Pressure

    LA360/10w30 running about 9psi at idle and 25psi at 2,300 rpm at temp. 50psi at idle at cold start. Would running 10w40 add a couple more psi and not be detrimental to any internal components? Figured a heavier weight could help with this Florida heat.

    Front Shock Recommendation

    Noted. So the standard front sway bar would suffice? Would save me a bit a of $$$ rather than going with the wide tire clearance option.

    Also, not too sure if this matters but this is the rest of the front suspension setup. 67 K-member 67-72 centerlink 67 only idler arm 67-72 pitman arm 73-76 disk brake conversion with rear mounted calipers ** 73-76 lower ball joints 73-76 upper ball joints Hotchkis UCA's

    Currently running 205/60R15's with rear mounted calipers. Is the wide tire clearance sway bar a must with this setup?

    Front Shock Recommendation

    Does it come with all the necessary hardware? May check it out regardless of aesthetics.

    Front Shock Recommendation

    Noted. My LCA's are 68 so no go on the QA1's.

    Front Shock Recommendation

    Ordering front/rear sway bars here soon. Looking at Hotchkis and QA1. Any recommendations one over the other or another brand? Hotchkis - front 22385F , rear 22385R. QA1 - front 52861 , rear 52830. However, QA1 may be specific to a QA1 K member.

    Radiator Suggestions

    A lot to consider here. Cooler months/low humidity I run 180 consistently. Now that we are in the mid/high 90's, I'll stick at 180 for a bit then spikes to 210/220 especially at idle/WOT, which is still acceptable but don't want to push it on a long haul. Going to stick with a manual fan/shroud...

    Radiator Suggestions

    Looking for aftermarket aluminum radiator suggestions for a 68 barracuda with an LA360 to beat the Florida summer heat. With and without electric fan as I am considering switching from the current belt driven fan.

    Brake Bleed?

    Brake Bleed?

    Replaced both calipers (18-4067 & 18-4068) and brake hoses (HSP5563OM). After cold start and car has been sitting for awhile, I have to pump the brake pedal a couple times to get the brakes to firm up. After that, everything is good. Assume I just need to bleed them again but curious if there...

    Front Shock Recommendation

    Car was originally a slant 6 without AC. It now has an LA360. No sway bars at this time.

    Front Shock Recommendation

    Rear sits at 26 1/2 with the leafs on P255/60R15's
  28. Mcfarlrm

    Front Shock Recommendation

    Rear leafs are from Hotchkis, which lower 1" from factory (part 24385). Torsion bars, not too sure but they looks to be 1" or slightly smaller.

    Front Shock Recommendation

    So I just looked and it looks like the previous owner removed the LCA bumpers completely. Never crossed my mind to check before posting this thread.
