I recently encountered the same problem. The paper/thin cardboard under my carpet in the back carpet area was quite warped and crinkley and falling apart in areas. I replaced it with automotive carpet jute backing, which you can buy by the foot through various online sources (I think I used...

Thanks for all the good input, guys. Now I just need to find some time to check out all the suggestions.

I hoping someone can help diagnose the possible cause of a stalling issue I'm having. The car ('66 Barracuda) starts fine and the choke seems to step down and operate as it should while warming up. However, if I step hard on the accelerator pedal before the car is fully warmed up, the car will...

Correction, the body color is PP-1 "Bright Red".

I'm thinking of using vinyl wrap, rather than paint, to clean up an area under the hood (but not so near the engine that heat should be an issue). An exact color match isn't essential, but I'd like to get it reasonably close to the body paint color. Any suggestions on the best way to do this...

RustyRatRod: Thanks, that's exactly what I need! I will get in touch with you privately, but please let me know how much you need for shipping.

My apologies, guys. The image was clear enough when I posted it, but this was my first time doing that so I wasn’t aware that it would be so hard to read once it actually posted. I will try again with something better. Thanks for your patience!

I'm looking for a choke diaphragm link (sometimes called a choke operating link) and the associated retainer clip for a 1966 vintage Holley 1920 carburetor. These are parts 49 and 42 in the attached diagram. Apparently these have been missing since I got my Barracuda some years ago, which I...

Looking for a replacement front parking light lens (right hand/passenger side) for a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda. I believe the lens from a Valiant will also work.

The modified rear glass gives the car an interesting/different enhanced "bubble" look. I always thought that Plymouth didn't quite get the back window shape quite right in production, probably because of the difficulties in casting and shaping a window of that size. If it could have been made...

Found a vintage recipe for sloppy joes clipped out of a magazine or newspaper under the back seat of my '66 slant 6 Barracuda (confirming my suspicion that the car was originally owned by a mom or grandma).

Could you post pictures showing a close-up representative view of each? I'm having trouble seeing whether these are in better shape than the ones I have currently. I'm not too far from you in S.E. PA. Thanks. Steve

I sent a PM a while ago, but perhaps you didn't see it. Which lens is the good (uncracked) one? I need a passenger side replacement. Thanks.

I'm in need of a passenger side parking lens for a '66 Barracuda (in decent shape, i.e., no significant cracks or discoloration).

PM sent.

I'm in need of a radiator in good condition for a '66 Barracuda with 225 slant six and automatic. Located near Philadelphia. Steve

For what it's worth, I recently paid ca. $400 (labor only) to have two bucket seats recovered (including new foam) by an auto upholstery shop. Since I could see it taking 4-5 hours total to do this work, I didn't think it was an unreasonable price. I certainly wasn't inclined to try doing it...

Phishta, thanks for posting the link. I'm still trying to figure out where the ball bearings go. My rebuild kit came with several, but there's no mention of them in the instructions! Rebuilding my 1920 is one of my winter projects. First time I've done this, but everyone tells me it'll be...

I ordered a set of spark plug wires from Rock Auto that were listed as being a custom fit for a 225 ci slant six. The lengths do appear to be correct, but the ends that attach to the plugs do not have the collars that extend out and help seal off the ends of the spark plug tubes. Will this be...

Brand name conventional 10W-30. Has anyone seen any credible evidence that the oils marketed for "high mileage" engines really offer any advantage? They typically sell for a bit more than the "regular" oil.

Looking good... I see that your other project is a '65 Beetle w/sunroof. That was my first car. Of course, way back then it was just a cheap used car. The sunroof was great - I don't think they were too common, as I've never seen another VW with a crank sunroof (fabric, yes).

My wife thinks my car is cool looking and gets a kick out of seeing how others react to it (she loves to tell the story of the BMW owner who followed me home one day and got very excited about my car), but she's quite nervous about riding in it, much less driving it. This is understandable...

Looking for the following items for a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda: 1. Original AM radio w/faceplate (working) 2. Passenger side lower rocker trim strip (good to excellent cond.) 3. Passenger side taillight housing (good to excellent condition) 4. Washer fluid reservoir (non-brittle...

Something relatively easy to check is the ground strap that clips over the fuel line in front of the sending unit. It may have fallen off or the electrical connections become so dirty/corroded that a good ground isn't being established. Unfortunately, that wasn't the problem with mine.

Does anyone have experience in re-installing an AM radio back into a dash that's been cut out to accommodate an aftermarket unit? I would imagine that some type of bracket or other support needs to be added to hold it in the correct position, but I'm trying not to reinvent the wheel. On the...

Thanks for the responses. I've now tracked down other dealer literature suggesting that lighters were standard equipment. But I haven't yet found a stock photo of an original dash showing where it would be positioned. Below the dash would (I think) get in the way of an AC unit. But there...

I've been trying to figure out whether the cigarette lighter on my '66 Barracuda (mounted under the dash below the radio) is original or not. I understand a lighter was an option on these cars, but that they were not too common. The build sheet is under the back seat, but I'm not able to get a...

I had trouble finding these refills also. I ended up getting them at the local NAPA store. They had to order them in, but that only took a couple of days. I think they were a whole $2.98 a pair and they fit right in. Steve

http://www.historicalcarclub.org/club/photos/hccp_photos/picture2943.aspx OK, let's try again. Steve

Here's a photo of my car at the HCCP Ludwigs Corner show last September. Hope this works - first time I've tried to link an image. Steve
