I'm considering upgrading the stock .87" torsion bars in my '65 FS to a bit thicker bar, possibly the .89" if I can find some. This is a restoration, it has the original 273 4bbl, but I am including some upgrades. These include KH disc brakes, 15" radial tires with rallye wheels, and Moog...

Witchboard, What car are you having the problem with?

66fs, Thanks very much. Now I understand how the ball could fall into the box, I'll follow your advice.

Instead of starting a new thread, I thought it would be best to stick with this one. So...I fixed the leak on the countershaft, but I also have a very small leak at the reverse detent assembly. This assembly appears to have two gaskets, one on the plug and one on the base. I have the gasket...

Looking for a L/R set of torsion bars for my '65 Barracuda project. 629/629 or 894/895 stamped on ends. These are .890" diameter. They also come new as Mopar set P5249150. I have PayPal will use F&F. Thanks, Bob.

If you have not found a pair yet, I have a set I would sell for $50 plus shipping. Mine are 892/893; .870". $50 + shipping from 94526.

Sounds Lile the tank's not venting. Have you blown compressed air into the vent tube to make sure it's clean? Does Pennsylvania have the body seal on the gas pump handle like CA?

Thanks for the feedback. So, if I want the ad to be current, show up as new, I need to create a whole new ad, right?

I've got parts listed that didn't sell, and they are way past 30 days. As a Gold member, how do I "bump" (relist) these ads? 2nd question, when I bump the ads can I reduce the price as well?

OK, I'll bite, how do you know?

I'm getting close to installing USTC subframe connectors on my '65 Barracuda FS project. The reason for installing them is to (hopefully) eliminate the body flex that causes cracking at the base of the rear window. My body man did put extra welds in the corner joints, but also encouraged me to...

Yes, my Pertronix Ignitor II is installed in my stock dual point distributor. I wish I could help but I am not familiar with what you have there.

I have a Pertronix II installed in my '65 FS 273 factory dual point distributor, and am attaching photos. Hope they can be of help. This is a "lobe sensing" type. Bob

Place a want ad here on FABO, someone will have one. Forget trying to repair it.

They look right, Is there a part number stamped on it?

Wanted: Exhaust Manifold Gasket, right side, early 273 P/N 2465842, no heatshield. Looking for decent used or new. I have a later 2951285 NOS gasket with heatshield to trade, or will pay cash through PayPal. For my '65 Barracuda FS project. Thanks, Bob. This is what I have to trade...

My '65 Barracuda front buckets have listing wires attached to the springs under the burlap from the factory. Does anyone know why Legendary instructs you to add them on top of the burlap?

Thanks very much for the details on the installation, it looks great. I'm doing one seat at a time so I can refer back to the second one if I need to, along with pictures of course. I still have to strip the first frame of the old material and prep and paint. I've watched all the appropriate...

69FBCuda thanks for the reply. I'm looking at mine and these things look very challenging to reinstall. Did you use new cording at the ends where the wire wraps around? Did you need to bend the wires around the cording, or did it clip on?

I've started restoring my '65 Barracuda front buckets with a full Legendary kit including foam. My buckets are original and they have fine wires woven in the burlap about an inch apart (see picture). I asked tech support at Legendary about these and they said they were not necessary. This does...

I did see that in your post. I would like to find the proper spring though, if I can. Classic Industries shows these: https://www.classicindustries.com/product/md475010.html?source=wishlist Of course, they're on back order!

hemi71x, When the hubs with rotors are mounted on the spindles, and caliper(s) bolted on, do the seals or caliper rub the hat at all? If not what is the approximate space between the seals and rotor hat?

I'm restoring the front buckets from my '65 (12-4-64 build date) right now. They each have two track springs (the long ones) and two release springs. Post #4 above, from a '64 Barracuda, shows one track spring in the picture. Since there is a provision in each seat for two track springs, I...

Saw these R1 rotors on Amazon, and I have a Prime account so thought I'd give them a try: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGT58D5R?tag=fabo03-20 To make it easy to check the fit without using a hydraulic press to mount them, I took some old hub bolts and ground off the knurling just enough to be...

So...I went ahead with the patch method on the leaking countershaft. I cleaned the area several times starting with acetone and ending with brake clean and compressed air in between applications. I used Permatex for Gear Oil, and cut a patch of .030" gasket paper exactly 1-1/8" diameter, which...

Yes, the caliper tip is rubbing too. My theory is that people with project cars (like me), buy the parts but don't install them immediately. They sit on a shelf until needed and by that point they can't be returned. Add to that the difficulty of having to press out and press in the lugs...

A follow-up to my last post, #25 (above). I did order and receive the rotors from Rock Auto. I received machined hats even though cast hats are shown in the listing on RA. These have the same problem, the diameter is too large and rub on the caliper seals. I have a large measuring caliper...

Within the last 3 years, I've bought 4 pairs of new machined hat rotors, and once mounted, all rubbed the seals. Sent 3 sets back for refund and cut the last pair down on a lathe to clear the seals. I have two pairs of used swap meet hubs with cast hat rotors. Both pairs were on their...
