Having returned from our trip (just under 3,000 mi.) I will say that I like my '68 headrest a lot! The wife was happy too :) It did take some effort, and some A-bodies only advice, but was well worth it. I hope that having documented the process may help others as well. One small thing I would...

Oh, that's interesting. It looks like there are about 5 notches, and about an inch apart? I measured up from the bottom of the rods on mine, and figured one notch at 2-3/4" up would be just right for my head. Maybe make a couple of more right around there? Could be pretty sketchy trying to...

Oh, one question. I also was confused about the direction the spring clip faces concerning the notches cut into the stainless steel rods by the factory. The installation in my pics is correct, it's the only way they can go, and is seen in 65Vals pics as well. But the notches in my '68...

Thanks for the post 65Val, your pics really helped me out! Nice interior too (with correct for '67 headreststs). What I have done is only because I've had so much trouble finding a pair of '67 headrests, so is only a compromise at best. Now I get to hear every "car show genius" that walks up...

I still don't know how that odd third hole on the large black plastic part is oriented when installed. Does anyone know? I am about to install the seat kit this weekend and that would be good to know, but hey, it's a 50 - 50 chance right? Meanwhile, I did hack off the long rods from my brand...

Maybe one of the kids got tired of waiting for the inheritance? Easy inside job, at least easy to get in over your head!

Sorry for all the posts, but there is yet one further mystery... what is that third small hole in the large black plastic part, and how is it oriented on the seat?

That was it! Now, to actually do the work, ha ha! It will be slow, as there just aren't enough hours in the day. I will post as progress occurs.

Or maybe they go with the metal clip and two screws, mounted from below?

The lower picture of the '67 bench headrests has two brown oval pieces which may go directly under the chrome bezels as guides? If so, maybe that's what my smaller black pieces do also? I'm at work now, but will have alook when I get home later. Thanks Mattax!

Thanks Super-Cuda, One huge problem I've had is just not knowing what fits what. I did see a couple of '67 C-body headrests on ebay, but they were very expensive and worn out. I passed on them since I didn't want to "spend good money after bad" as they say. I did try to get B-body headrests, as...

Having been unable to find '67 headrests for my '67 bucket seats, I have decided instead to convert a set of new PG Classics '68 bucket seat headrests to fit my '67 seats. Maybe it's been done before, but I don't see any mention of it, so here's what I am doing. I have ordered the '68 headrests...

Mancini advance is from Tony's. Was swiftly shipped too!

Stunning service bulletin halifaxhops! I'm still wondering about that one. Maybe just the thinnest layer spread with my pinky finger? I struck out this time with Napa, but I have ordered the correct vacuum advance for this distributor from Mancini Racing; Mancini Racing Distributor Vacuum...

Oh man, what a roller coaster ride! If this keeps up I'm going to need some drammamine, lol! At least I had an afternoon of believing I was the right color. It was nice while it lasted... I also realized, after carefully relieving that area of interference on my vac advance with pin grinder (it...

Oh, that's interesting... I'll be sure to mention it to the "your cap should be tan" guys, ha ha! Btw, my 30 years in storage plug wires looked great, but were stuck like someone glued them on at the cap and plugs. Tore a few in half trying to get them loose! Definately greasing ends of new...

My Napa buddy came through, and I got what I asked for; Echlin ECH AL124 Cap - $17.00, ECH AL125 Rotor - $6.49. As I was told, they are for "1967 273 Dual point". I still don't know if that means "Prestolite" parts, or that I have a "Prestolite" distributor, but they fit, and it appears they'll...

Thanks for the info guys! I've been talking with a buddy of mine who works at a local Napa over the phone, and he's put some effort into finding an answer, so I'll be checking in with him, this after noon to see what he comes up with. Hoping for a moderately priced, readily available (lol?)...

Hello, 4 months later, and I'm back! Over the winter I tore the engine down to cast iron block and reciprocating assy., replacing all servicable parts, cleaning, painting etc... and now I'm about to put dist. back in, (after relieving some material from the vac adv., and replacing the washers...

Mike in WA State is an expert (85 year old) cast iron welder. He just welded my 273 Commando manifold. Probably a bit far away for you, but I just thought I'd get it out there. He has a lifetime of experience. Cast Iron Repair Specialists

Wanted; one pair of bucket seat headrests for my '67 Barracuda. These are 1967 only and will have a 7-1/2" center to center measurement of chrome posts. Thanks, Ed

Here's a pic of the Pertronix 1385LS installed in my (1967 273) IBS 4013 cast iron dual point distributor. Seems like it fits to me... with rotor and cap on, the shaft spins freely, no problem. I did find slight interference between the vac adv arm and the adv plate. You can see it in the...

Turns out, the new headrests I got were for 68-70. I didn't know 67 is one year only, and unavailable. Luckily PG Classics accepted them back for full refund even though purchased last June or so... Awesome customer service! I removed the back covers and peeked inside my seats, they do have the...

I could use a set too for my 67 Cuda bucket seats. Pearl white would be nice, but I'll take what I can get, lol! Looks like they're one year only. I heard 67 b-body is the same. Not sure if that's right.

I installed my Accurate LTD system over Labor Day weekend, last September, then took the Barracuda for a 500 mile cruise which included "The Rod Run To The End Of The World" in Long Beach WA. Overall. The system is great, very thick aluminized pipe, with nice hangers. It fit pretty good, but...

Well, I finally busted a move and ordered a Pertronics kit. All that is now available is the 1385LS. Hopefully it will work in my distributor. The ad says it will, but doesn't mention the specific distributor numbers. I will post results soon. Hoping to install this weekend, if parts arrive in...

You can count me on the "got my foam from Legendary, waiting for seat cover" list too! Covers are scheduled to ship 10-30-21 (ordered 6-1-21). Hoping for the best... Also hoping my '67 Barracuda non-headrest buckets have the internal brackets on their frames for mounting new re-pop headrests...

I was real lucky to get a pretty nice and complete set up, (including hubs) to work with! FABO has been priceless in guiding me along too! It would be a nice addition to this thread if anyone knew a good source for the KH lug nut studs. I don't recall seeing them listed. I found that my right...

It's probably just me but... In reading this thread, I never could understand just what constituted the rotor for the KH conversion. I am converting my '67 to the KH discs so I ordered rotors and got just the discs themselves. Yesterday I got to doing that part of the job and, just to...

Wow, I stand corrected (and it's about time)! I've been a Mopar guy since my teens in the mid '70's. I've never had an LD4B, but they have been legendary since I can remember... I have had that D4B on a 318 in a '64 Valient that I drove for over a decade and although it was pretty normal to...
