I found the parts page for the accelerator linkage. It shows the plate (14-11-25), and looks like just one used. Thanks Ulf!

So...it looks like the two smaller plates secure the vent window casting to the doors. The other plate does line up with the holes on the firewall at the throttle cable opening. Does it mount on the outside of the firewall or inside? Just one per car or two? I may have got the second plate...

Finally got my FS back from the body shop after 3-1/2 years. Glad to start in putting it all back together! Working on the doors right now and installing the handles; locks and such. In the parts bag for the right and left doors I have these pieces (pictured). I can't figure out where they...

Looking for drivers side door latch mechanism for my '65 Barracuda project. Mine works but the white plastic slider doesn't spring back as it should, and the plastic is worn.

I've got new upper and lower ball joints that I purchased on eBay back in 2010 in a front end rebuild kit. Don't know the brand, but they seem to be very good quality. The balls are tight, and I see no plastic anywhere on the joint when I move the ball. Is there a way to determine if they are...

I spoke with Accurate on a complete exhaust for my '65 FS. They didn't like that I have an NOS Mopar resonator (new in the box), and even though they sell them at $499, I only got $252 taken off to delete the resonator from the full system leaving the cost at $1,316, plus the shipping of $250...

Sounds to me like the engineers had been considering an external reverse lockout for '64-'66, and decided it wasn't necessary.

What Mopar used a reverse lockout as you describe? Not one in '64-'66, the years this Z-Bar fits. Trying to picture how it would work, so with the clutch depressed, it would stop the engagement of reverse gear? How does it know if the car is moving or not?

Tommy, I doubt it, that's built into the transmission.

dano, I was just looking at it again and came to the same conclusion. I'd like to know how Jeff's is set up, where exactly does the spring attach on his car. Picture?

Eek, I agree, its not used. I have a feeling they originally thought a spring would be needed there and then realized it wasn't, but they had the bars made up, just used them, and the hole didn't affect anything.

Here are pictures from both the '65 service manual and parts manual. Notice the hole does not appear in the parts manual (pg 6-2), but does show up in the service manual (figure 5), with nothing is attached to it. It certainly could be a spring hole, but why doesn't a spring show up in either...

Dano, Yes I'm aware it is "correct" according to Brewer's site, and I'm not questioning Brewers. But look at Jeff Alder's pictures in post #5. The hole is not there. I'm thinking maybe there was a use for it in '64 or '66 cars, but works for all 3 years. As best I can tell, there is no use...

Murray, No, not the small holes for the wire retainer for the bushings, that's not what I'm asking about. I'm referring to the hole on the far left side in the picture, its about 3/8". Can't figure out what it's for, '65 parts book doesn't show it, but yet this is used for '64-'66.

I'm converting to 4 speed from a 903 auto in my '65 FS w/273. My Z-bar is the same as the one in this picture, it has a hole in the very bottom, below the stud for the clutch rod. The '65 parts book does not show the Z-bar hole, the service manual does, but it isn't connected to anything. The...

Jeff, Yes, I was going to buy new rears springs, its not about the money. Peter at Bergman told me that I'm better off keeping the original springs if they're in good shape, and they are. He's had a lot of issues with new springs being too high, and unless I want a "jacked up" look, and I...

I spoke with Peter from Bergman Auto Craft today, he called me back, nice guy. He recommends the 1.08" bars and Bilstein shocks. He also surprised me and recommended I keep my original 6 leaf rear springs, (which are in very good shape), and just put new interleaf liners in them. Does anyone...

Thanks for the info. I'm getting in touch with PST and Bergman Auto Craft. I really didn't know much about the KYBs, and I wanted to install some new shocks when I put the rear axle back in so I could move the body around (the front is on casters still) I feel kind of silly now that I find...

"The KYBs will ride rough" Others have said that too. The KYBs are said to be adjustable, right on the box, if they ride rough, won't the adjustability help with that?

I really appreciate the torsion bar feedback. To add perspective, (I'm in a reflective mood so skip to the bottom if easily bored) allow me to share a little bit of history of this car and how I came to own it. In April 2002, I found it sitting in an industrial park in Newark California, with...

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?
