No. The 10x1 3/4” small bolt pattern backing plates are exclusively unique to the A body 8 3/4” axle only. They have a unique offset for the small bolt axles and will not work with any other axle, nor will any other backing plates work with them. However, you can make the 7 1/4” 10” backing...

Hood to radiator support seal in place? Lower splash pan to radiator support seal in place? They help funnel the air through the radiator opening, not around it. And of course a shroud.

And, he actually sent them! Not a lot of folks can say that!

I remember meeting Mike Clifford at the Nats about 25 years ago. He was wheels up even back then, and helped me pick out a converter for my 66.

Yep, back in the 90’s it seemed like I was the only one doing an early A body. Guys at the Nationals we’re waiting for me to show up because they had really nice parts, and they knew I was buying. Besides my friend who was racing her early Barracuda, I can’t recall any early Barracudas, and...

The inside structure is different for all 3 years. I went through this with moparmatt2000 when he was buying some 69!door parts from me. I cut out the entire inner structure for him because of the difference. He can tell you the difference of every door, and how it relates to certain problems...

I liked it!

So, are you saying that a 160 thermostat should keep the engine running at 160 degrees?

If you’re going to scrap them, maybe message Leanna first and see if she wants them. If anybody can make those new again, it would be her.

I give that sweet little ride 2 thumbs up, a great big “atta boy” for bringing it back to life. Welcome to the wonderful world of FABO, and back to the early A ranks!

I would consider changing that rubber line from the pump to the carb, they’re readily available in pre-bent steel for not much money. Stick pumps generally run in the 6psi range.

Drill the spindles?

I used your post here to call him out on the roadrunner chat and modification sites. He disappeared like a bums last dollar.

I just gave my buddy a pair of original 66 springs from a Formula S, 6 on the passenger, 5 on the driver. I’m not saying that’s gospel, just what I’ve seen through the years.

This car has all the formula S suspension parts and the 4bbl engine. You could order all the Formula S parts except for the badging and stripes on any Valiant, or Barracuda in 65/66, it just won’t be a designated Formula S. It will be rarer than an S car tho, which doesn’t really mean much.

The Formula S was primarily a handling package, brought about by the Rallye Pack option from early 65. It consists of…. HD leaf springs, 6 leaves on the passenger side, 5 on the drivers side HD “892/893” torsion bars, .870” dia Front sway bar 14x5.5” steel rims 273 4bbl engine Dash mounted...

Is your radiator support to hood seal in place? How about your lower splash pan seal, and your hood to cowl seal? Without them in place, air cannot be trapped in front of the radiator, it just goes around it. Kinda like sucking through a straw with a hole in it. The idea is to trap air in front...

Wow, that is a sweet little car. Although not a custom, I’m thinking that if this darn car doesn’t sell this year, I might go back to my plan to slam it, put some 17’s all the way around it, 2 tone copper and ivory paint job, and a Gen 3 Hemi!

I gotcher back, brother! I’m grooovin’ whatcher sayin’, and I’m layin down some tasty licks!

There is no trim on the flat straight area, just on the corners. On the straightaway, there’s body plugs that snap into each hole to keep dust and dirt out. That’s it tho, no trim.

I’m switching to the K&N filters. They’re much better made and I’ve heard that Wix is even going downhill

Probably $500 plus. Unfortunately the hood will probably never be used. The S car it’s slated for has been dormant since 1971, because of the aforementioned fender bender. 17k miles on it! 383 4 speed car.

Walking around the Nats swap meet a few years ago and I see a 67 Barracuda hood leaning against the fence in someone’s spot. Super clean hood, and the inserts were perfect. I ask him how much and he says he’s been asking $200 all day but everyone just wants him to take the inserts out, give them...

I’m sure you did as we did, cut the forks off of our parts bike and pound them onto the forks of our “good” bike! Instant chopper! Until you popped a wheelie and the forks and tire flew off and you had to land with no landing gear. Kinda looked like that landing by the kid jumping his bike...

I sure do miss those days. I could’ve been any one of those kids, and did everything shown in the video. Brings a tear to my eye to think that those days are gone.

To answer to the missing pieces…9” drum brakes do not have wheel cylinder push rods. The piston in the wheel cylinder is flat on the outside facing the shoe, and there is a tab on the shoe that is pushed by the flatted piston end. All V8 A body cars came with 10” brakes, front and rear.

Well, when I’m up north working, I can call home, if I stand perfectly still, find a place that has service, and even then it usually drops the call. Internet? Forget it. So, he can maybe call his wife and tell her to pause the shipment, but where’s the package by the time that happens? See...

You’re missing the part where the seller read that the part was not correct for the buyers application, but he already gave the part to his buddy at FedEx to ship. Then he called his buddy to stop the shipping So it wouldn’t be delivered, probably because he felt as if he would refund the money...

I guess if you gave me negative feedback and started this thread before we worked it out, I would just send you the pet and let you deal with it. You’ve been around here, you’ve seen him post….a LOT, so are you in such a hurry to get your money back that you can’t wait until he does message you...

He and his buddies have infiltrated the Roadrunner and GTX site as well, posting that Dart, and a bunch of other wrecked cars as well. I posted a link to this thread and a warning to the members there. Let’s hope this shuts down this bullshit from Mike and his buddy, who’s name is John White...
