Thanks gents

I’m curious if the bucket seats in my 67 barracuda should have plastic spacers on the seat to floor bolts to get the seat rails off of the carpet a bit, or not? I’ve restored a few b bodies that had spacers, but this car doesn’t although the carpet was super mousey from being in a barn for 30...

Good info, thanks Eric

I’ll pull the glovebox liner so I can have better access to the resistor etc for testing. Dumb question here fellas but for the sake of learning, what exactly does the heater resistor do? I’m assuming the 2 wires in the resistor have different resistance to deliver “low” and “high” speed power...

No draw with the fan switch turned off, and yes I’m testing with the key in the run position. The ground sounds like a possible culprit; how does the blower motor and resistor ground? Is there an easy way to put a jump lead to ground and see if that solves the issue, and if so where should I...

I’m troubleshooting a few small electrical issues with my newly purchased 67 barracuda. One of the last issues is that the heater blower isn’t working. I pulled the heater box when I bought the car (it had a big mouse nest in it) and put all new gaskets, etc in the box. While out I put power to...

Perfect, thanks dadsbee. I figured that line faded out towards the bottom. The passenger side is similar but not as bad.

My 67 barracuda fastback is an unrestored car, and is really solid except for 2 rotten spots; 1 in front of and 1 behind the bottom of the drivers side wheel well. I’ve made tons of repair panels over the years and these will be easy, but I had a question. There is a body line that goes around...

So I picked up the suggested edelbrock 9266 spacer and the bolt pattern on my AFB and factory intake are quite different. I could maybe butcher this spacer but it won’t be ideal just the way the correct gasket overlaps the 9266 for comparison. Am I missing something? My buddy who is a retired...

Oh, and yes of course I do have an FSM.

Where do I measure to determine the size of booster that I have? Mine is the original and my car is a formulas S 67 with a commando engine.

Cheers!

Does anyone know where I can get one of these insulators?

I’ve got a vacuum leak in the factory brake booster in my 67 barracuda, and I don’t have vacuum assist on the brakes. I’m guessing there is a diagram issue. This type of booster is the 2 part booster held together by a removable band clamp. Are these boosters rebuildable or does a guy need to...

I rebuilt my factory 273 commando engine from the 67 barracuda I bought last fall. I have broke in the camshaft and lifters, set the timing etc and the engine runs and sounds beautiful. Today I started the engine and let it idle to get another heat cycle into it while I tweaked a few things...

Thanks for the replies, and yes I’m aware of tge specs and it’s way out of spec. Not even worth spinning up on my Sun synchrograph to see where the curve is at. The vacuum advance plate has zero play other than rotational so that is good. I’ll contact the recommended gent and see what he thinks...

I’m getting very close to being able to fire up my 67 barracuda for the first time since I bought it. I pulled the 273 commando engine and had it machined, rebuilt the heads, etc and I’ve now got everything installed and I’m ready to break in the cam and lifters since I had them ground. Anyways...

Thanks for all of the info gents. See 273 pushrods for solid lifters easily available? I do see them for hydraulic lifters, but of course I have solid ones.

Are 273 and 273 commando pushrods the same?

And again, my engine is the 273 commando; are the valve lash settings different than on a regular 273? I know the cam durations etc were quite different.

Another related question for setting the valves once installed. In the FSM and online it says to set them hot, but of course I’m reassembling the engine after a full rebuild. I’m guessing setting the valves to the same specs cold will be good enough for a start to break in the engine, and then...

My apologies, I just saw it as the thread had been reported; my bad!

Cheers

is there a problem with my post?

Just reassembling the matching number 273 commando engine in my 67 barracuda. I had it machined. When I bought the car last fall it had been sitting for years and someone had broken into the barn it was stored in and stole the air cleaner, rocker covers, and the rocker valve assemblies years...

I know this is an older thread, but I just hit the jackpot on these dealership books from a friend. This group has the desireableyears from 67-71 and also has the full set of smaller “fast facts” books for each year. Needless to say I am thrilled to have them.

I’ve got the dash panel out of my 67 barracuda so I can clean everything, check the switches and wiring harness, replace the bulbs, etc. My car is an unrestored car that I bought off of the original owner this fall. The car had been stored in a Quonset for 30 years, and the mice had gotten into...

I would definitely buy a replacement switch if I can find one which is why this convo started in the parts wanted forum but I thought it might be worth exploring the possibility of fixing the one I have if I can’t find a replacement

I have been chatting in the parts wanted forum with some members who suggested I move the discussion here in the electrical forum. I’ve removed the dash and gauges from my 67 barracuda for a refresh and a cleaning. I doubt anything has been removed since the factory as I bought this car from the...
