I painted my Barracuda about 10 years ago. I had a little over a quart of paint left. I just repainted my hood due to some damage and have virtually no paint left. I thought I would buy a quart of paint from the same place so I would have some, just in case. A quart of paint is $200, and a...

I bought a Griffin Exact Fit Radiator for my 69 340 Barracuda about 12 years ago. When I called Griffin for pre-purchase information, a guy told me that their Exact Fit radiators looked so much like Mopar radiators that some people painted them black and 'passed them off' as original. I bought...

I hate to be the odd guy out, but I am not a fan of it up there. I DO like it on the side as seen in several pictures on page 1. It looked good on the Charger because, in my opinion, the top of the quarter panel was curved and smooth.

I think I would agree with that. I have the XE 268 in my 340, and I LOVE it. It has a nice choppy idle, and plenty of power. It might be a bit much for the average 318, so the XE 262 would probably be a good choice.

Call Brewers. I would be shocked if they did not have it.

We just had a bad thunderstorm pass right overhead. Look at the beautiful rainbow that was left behind. Wednesday morning, at about 3:00 AM, a really bad thunderstorm passed directly overhead, and we had a lot of wind damage. My neighborhood was the most affected area in town. We only lost one...

Shiny! Black is unattractive.

I posted about this about a week ago. I bought it at O'Reilly's. Follow the instructions. When you spray it on, you can literally see the brown melting off the letters. The left side of the tire below is after one application. The original brownish letters are on the right.

What hasn't gone up. I am NOT wanting to be political AT ALL, but everything is going up. Over the past 5 years or so, a lot of things have doubled in price, so I am not surprised that HVAC has increased also.

Very nice work!

Wow, I guess I never looked at the 67 fender tags very carefully. WAY different than my 69!

I realize that Fram filters have a bad reputation. I have always used the Fram 43 on my barracuda because of a header clearance issue. The 43 is a little bit shorter than the 16. I bought several of them several years ago, and my car is due an oil change now. I am looking for a replacement for...

You'd probably just see 10 bags of Saline / Silicone.

Welcome! My daughter lives in Barris. They used to live in Newmarket.

Nice. What are a pair of those inserts worth in that kind of condition?

Nice. You gotta love stories like that. I was thinking that a clutch would not be a big problem, but lifting the body? That sounds like a big hassle.

Good idea. I have been cutting a hole in a piece of cardboard.

Not exactly a swap meet, but I made out like a bandit on a 69 Barracuda parts car about 20 years ago. My 69 340 Barracuda had an automatic, but I always wanted a 4-speed. I checked with Brewer's, but it was going to be at least $2500 to buy what I needed. I found a 69 Barracuda FB with a running...

YES. Restore it. When you take it to a Mopar car show, there will be 20 E Bodies, 20 64-69 Barracudas, 20 Roadrunners, 20 cars with hemis, but there will only be ONE 61 Valiant. I think you will be surprised how popular your car will be.

Thanks, Guys!!!

I wrote a rather detailed 'How To' article on the forum about two years ago on how to rebuild a wiper motor. It included details about bench testing. It was an easy rebuild. I could not tell from the pictures what WW motor you have. Take a look at the article. It might help. Rebuilding a 2 speed...

Thanks, @barracudadave67, @junkyardhero and @mbaird. I now know exactly what to do. O hope I can find some of those little plastic clips that hold the wires. It looks like I need several of them. I have two, and they are both broken.

when a bulb does not come on, it is one of 4 things: 1. The bulb is bad. Test the bulb and/or replace it with a known good one. 2. The switch is bad. Test to see if there is power going into the switch. If there is, then a good switch will allow power to flow through it when placed into reverse...

I finally got around to getting the hood mounted turn signals on my 69 Barracuda working. I ran the wires through the hood, but I can't figure out what to do with them after they exit the back of the hood. It looks really weird having two wires just hanging down. If anybody has some hood mounted...

I really don't understand it when people jump the gun and complain about people publicly on this forum before they even have a chance to respond. A person could be in the hospital or on a fishing trip for a few days. And then to leave negative feedback?

Is this what you need? You can have it for free if it is. It’s from a 69 Barracuda.

I bought the same Air Gap manifold for my 340. It leaked also. I tried everything I could think of. I bought a new housing (turned out to be cheap Chinese junk that was never going to seal), new gaskets, and different sealers. I wound up buying a Billet Specialties housing with an O-ring similar...

I went to the nicest car show on Father’s Day. It was given by the church of a good friend of mine. There were no trophies, but there were a few door prizes. The church also cooked hotdogs for everybody and had sodas and potato chips. I had a dozen (or more) people come up to me, shake my hand...

You are absolutely right my friend. The last picture is definitely not camping. It's what I call being comfortable. :) :) This is the way I "camp" in comfort. :) :) :) :)

Over the past several years, I have tried Comet, Soft Scrub, Bleach and several products that claimed they would clean the white letters on my tires. Today, almost out of desperation, I tried some Black Magic Bleche-White Tire Cleaner. I got it at O'Reilly's Auto Parts for only $7.50. It worked...
