Hi, I can scoop up a 1985 360 engine with 50,000KM for a few hundred dollars. In the future I was planning to do a 408 stroker build. Any drawbacks to using a 1985 LA block? Originally I was planning to go the Magnum route since it already is setup for a roller, but maybe staying with a LA...

I finally got around to installing my D453 doug's headers in my 67 Barracuda but i'm running into some problems. The headers are hitting the steering box (borgeson quick ratio), one tube touches the torsion bar and the rear header tube is touching the steering column. (I'll attach images further...

I posted a thread a few months ago about the sensation of my rims falling off while going into a turn. Every time I go into a significant turn I feel a very serious shake coming from the front-end like all of the lug nuts have fallen out. In my earlier post I received some great suggestions and...

Hi, I'm rebuilding my suspension on my 67 Barracuda and I had to take my Torsion bars out to get to some stuff. While they are out I'm trying to figure out which type I have, do these numbers on them mean anything? It's kinda hard to decipher the top numbers it seems like a either a 8 or a 6 or...

Hi, recently I noticed shaking coming from the left front end (like the rim is about to fall off) on sharp right hand turns (only hear and feel it above 15-20mph) I checked the car and suspension parts over multiple times. I jacked the car up and tried to see if there was any movement pushing...

Hi I'm looking to change my rims, any thoughts on the below options? I had been considering American Racing Salt Flat rims, but by the time the are shipped to Canada, the total cost will be almost $2300 CAD, so I'm considering some cheaper alternatives :) first photo is the current setup:

Hi I'm wondering if 11.2:1 compression is too much for 91 Octane (highest we have available here) to run properly without engine knock (pinging). Engine is a stoked 440 (500 CUI) with edelbrock aluminum heads, roller rockers, RPM Intake custom ground hydraulic cam (540 lift), TTI headers and...

I'm fine tuning my Edelbrock AVS 650 Thunder series carb and I'm showing 10.5 A/F at WOT on my wideband and I was wondering how much a 1 step leaner jet for the secondaries would affect the A/F. I read somewhere that 1 jet size is 0.5 A/F point but I'm not sure if that is correct for this carb.

I have noticed a intermittent "Clacking" sound coming from the driver side front, that goes away when I touch the brake pedal (even ever so slightly). It only seems to do it when I have driven the car for a little while. I have checked the front end, just to make sure there wasn't anything...

My 67 barracuda doesn't have any front/back window trim, are the gaskets in the photo the original (one year only) style or the type that would allow the 68 - 69 trim? Anyone know where I could buy a set for my front and rear window, and are they easy to install?

I'm running lean under load (going up a hill at low RPM), what do I need to change to richen it up a bit? I have installed a A/F gauge and here are the readings i'm getting: - Idle is around 13 - 13.5 - Part Throttle (Highway driving) 13 - 13.5 - Full Throttle 10.5 - 11.5 (so too rich, should...

I have a bit of play in my steering wheel and I'm trying to remove some of the slack from the power steering box. I read there is supposed to be a nut there that can be turned to tighten or loosen the steering slack. The only obvious nut I see is circled in red, but isn't that the adjustment for...

Hi, A buddy of mine is looking into a 69 dart and it has discs on the front but the owner thinks the bolt pattern is SBP. Did they have SBP with disc brakes or are all cars that have disc brakes on the front LBP? Thanks

I'm looking into the possibilities of doing a LA to magnum engine swap. how easy is this, is it just a bolt in or do certain things need to get replaced when switching from a LA to a 360 Magnum engine? My car is a 67 barracuda with a '74 360 (LA Block) with stock manifolds and Edelbrock 650...

I just installed the new hotchkis leaf springs on my 67 barracuda and the car sits even lower then it sat on the tired old springs. I re-used the front leaf spring hangers (to avoid it even sitting lower) now my 255/60 R15's rub on the wheel well lips when I go over a bump. Any suggestions on...

I snapped a few pressed in bolts on the front hanger of my rear leaf springs on my barracuda when I was taking them out. Just wondering if there is a trick to get what is left of the pressed in stud out of the hanger so that I can put some new hardware on it. Is heat and a hammer the best...

I'm in the process of taking my old leaf springs out and replacing them with the Hotchkis sport suspension. I'm planning on using the original front mounting plates since I've read on this forum that the ones that come with the kit sometimes sit too low (about 1 inch) anyways, I'm trying to...

I just installed a AEM Wideband gauge and I'm looking for some ballpark numbers to tune to. I looked online and was wondering if the below numbers are a good starting point for my combo. A/F Ratio @ Idle: 13.5 - 14.5 A/F Ratio @ Cruise: 13.5 - 14 A/F Ratio @ WideOpen: 12.5 - 12.8 Engine...

I'm about to use a piston stop to determine true TDC. I have built a piston stop from an old spark plug and I was just wondering if the engine can be safely rotated by hand with the piston stop in place without it interfering with the valves opening and closing. Any ideas?

just swapped intakes (torker 340 to a Edelbrock Air Gap) and I am trying to calibrate the carb (edelbrock 1806 Thunder series AVS). I richened up the carb a bit because I thought it might have been running a little on the lean side, now it won't idle below 1000 rpm (at highest vacuum reading...

Like the title says, it looks like my upper control arm has seen better days LOL. The balljoint jumped out and after removal this is what I found. Just wonder where I could find a new upper control arm, car is a 67 barracuda with upgraded disc brakes (from 74 dart) with the large balljoints. I...

So took my car out for a short drive and noticed the driverside wheel leans in a lot more than usual, so took the wheel off and here is what I found LOL Never replaced a UBJ before, are they pressed in or do they screw in? The front end (disc brakes) is of a 74 dart I believe not sure about the...

I am having some problems installing my new edelbrock air gap intake (bolts don't line up with thick gaskets) to my stock J headed 360 engine. I have another thread going on this forum called "Intake won't bolt on!". The consensus seems to be to either mill the intake or try to use a thinner...

I'm just in the process of replacing a torker 340 with the RPM Air Gap. I removed the old intake, cleaned all the flanges and installed the correct type edelbrock intake gaskets. I put RTV around the end seal flanges and placed the intake on the engine. The bolt holes seemed to not line up...

Hi, I'm switching the intake on my 360 and with the old intake off I noticed a pink/purple colour on the front of the cam shaft? The previous owner thought it was a Direct connection RV cam (whatever that is) but he wasn't sure on the specs. Could this be a Mopar Purple cam or do all cams come...

Hi, I'm just in the process of replacing my old torker 340 intake with the Edelbrock RPM Air Gap. I have the old intake removed and i'm now cleaning up the head flanges. I noticed these small tabs (see picture). It looks like they are from the head gasket. They are present on all four corners...

I'm just reading up a bit about DIY alignments and I'm wondering how to adjust the caster. From research I found it is best to get as much positive caster as possible usually somewhere around +2 - +4 degrees. But how do you set this..? I found an image that Autoxcuda posted but i'm not sure I...

I just received my Edelbrock RPM air gap intake from summit racing (new in original packaging) and after opening it I noticed it doesn't have the Edelbrock logo anywhere on the intake... It does have the casting number 7576, the RPM Air Gap logo and the Made in USA sticker but I find it kinda...

I'm planning on finally buying the #7576 Edelbrock Air Gap for my LA360 Currently I have the Edelbrock torker 340. Does anyone think the Airgap is the wrong intake to run in a slightly colder climate. I live in Newfoundland, Canada (Spring/summers usually between 10-20 degrees Celsius maybe a...

Does anyone know if the Mopar performance distributor has the adjustable mechanical advance weights (so you can limit it when you are running more than 18 initial) here is a link to the unit at summit. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DCC-3690426/
