I have decided to convert to modern bucket seats for safety and comfort reasons. I am asking $500 for this front bench seat, plus applicable shipping. Pickup in the Greensboro, NC area is preferred if you are close enough. The seat is both large and heavy, making packing and shipping rather...

When the rebuilt engine was put into my '68 Barracuda, the original harness was still in place and it was adapted by the mechanic to work with the MSD 6425 CD ignition box. I carefully removed the front and under dash harnesses as part of a complete replacement of the car's wiring. The kit I...

I jumped on a chance to buy the Procar seat brackets for my 1968 Barracuda because JEGS had them for a good sale price. The 81340 and 81341 are listed as the suitable Procar part numbers for this model year ('65 - '69 inclusive). When they arrived, I checked the fitment and was surprised. The...

Hi all, I have not yet removed the package tray from my '68 notch back Barracuda. It is faded and I am considering options for replacement. I am not sure I want to replace it with a stock type or make my own out of a hard board material. With other model Mopars using a metal package tray, has...

This pair of rims has been sandblasted and repainted. They were part of the original set from my 1968 Barracuda. I went for bigger wheels on the back, making these redundant. $60 for the pair + shipping (PayPal please)

This may seem like a silly question to the veteran engine guys here but, it is plausible to think that a hairline crack in a head can be repaired? If so, any suggestions? I had acquired a set of 'J' heads from a 340 (casting #3418915) from my local mechanic back in Canada for a small amount of...

This was the original 2-barrel carburetor from the 318 atop my 1968 Barracuda. The fuel lines and the choke coil are included. The shop manual identifies the carburetor as a BBD-4919S because it was on a Canadian car with an automatic transmission. $60 + shipping (PayPal please)

This is the original air intake from the 318 in my 1968 Barracuda. The oil filler cover is included. $50 + shipping (PayPal please)

My mechanic could not make the (correctly specified) Hooker long tube headers fit. The new header option did not require the use of these 11030HKR (3" to 2-1/8") reducers. I will throw in the copper gaskets I bought separately. $30 + shipping (PayPal please)

This re-manufactured fuel pump was never used. I opted for a mechanical Holley pump instead. I am asking $125 (obo) and will ship it for that price. I use PayPal.

This thread is specifically directed to owners of 67-69 Barracudas with small block engines and headers. My 0.040" oversized 318 has been converted to a 392 stroker and it produced 428 hp on the dyno. A column shift A-904 transmission (rebuilt) sits behind it. I learned the hard way that basic...

Greetings earthlings! I have been away long enough (5 years) that it was appropriate to reintroduce myself. My original location was just north of Calgary, AB, Canada. I have been living in the Lynchburg, VA, USA area since July, 2010. I am back on the site because I finally brought my 1968...

After coming down to where winter is mild compared to that in Western Canada, I went looking to replace the 1994 Suburban. It has always been a secondary vehicle back in Alberta but it is my only vehicle down here. I discovered, much to my pleasant surprise, that car dealers were willing to...

Hi everyone, It is rapidly approaching the end of my second week of work in Forest, VA. I have not posted for a couple of weeks because of my relocation to Lynchburg, VA to take a new job. It was just over 17 months without a job and for anyone interested in the previous history, please see...

After >15 months without a job, I was invited to an interview for a position in Forest, VA in mid-May. The interview went very well. Unfortunately, my wife and children left while I was away and I have not seen them in a month. For many reasons, life between us had been getting more and more...

It was a lovely May 8 morning from a sunshine perspective but the damp wind made it rather beastly cold and the thermometer did not reach 50F. Still, there were some nice Mopars out. The 1969 convertible w/340 needs a lot of work and T.L.C. but will be a nice showpiece when complete.

Well, I am kicking myself for not locating Consolidated Compressor in Calgary before today. I took a number of parts in and used one of their outdoor sandblasting stations. I cannot believe that I was actually trying to grind and buff (wire brush) parts clean, The outdoor stations have enough...

Having gone through the good advice of a couple of threads regarding tire sizing and wheel backspacing, I would like to get other input regarding the choice of Center Line rims for my '68 notchback. Here is the car (first post): http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=88867 I...

Not far outside Calgary, AB is the town of Vulcan. It was named for the Roman god of fire. Of course, they have done their best to capitalize on the Star Trek name association, complete with a replica of the Enterprise from the original series. Yesterday, Leonard Nimoy showed up for a day of...

After some fruitful discussions with another FABO member who has the same car body, I am getting a better understanding of the rim backspacing and maximum tire size that will fit under my car. I know for certain that P255/60R15 will just fit if I have a rim with 4.5" backspace. I would love to...

This clip might fit in the News & Politics forum, but the guy at the centre of this story is more than worthy of our group ridicule. Rifles and propane tanks simply do not mix. http://home.mytelus.com/telusen/portal/NewsChannel.aspx?ArticleID=news/capfeed/national/n042021A.xml&CatID=National...

When I have completed rebuilding my 318, I am hoping for around 350hp from the engine in my '68 Barracuda. That being said, I want to have the A904 rebuilt because it is the original and I do not know its condition. I will probably have a Stage 2 valve body and a shift kit put in. The shop in...

With spring taking hold and summer within sight, the Mopar owners will be polishing up and prepping for the cruise season. For those who do not get snow, there is less of a seasonal change that for the rest of us. I wanted to start a thread where people would list a place they had travelled...

Hello to all, Tomorrow, I will be going through my third telephone interview with a company in Sioux Falls, SD. I am asking for your thoughts and prayers around 11 AM CST (noon EST, 10 AM MST, and 9 AM PST) when I will be going through the experience. After an impromptu interview with the HR...

I scored a rebuilt Holley "Blue" fuel pump and a used Holley regulator for less than the cost of a new chrome mechanical pump. =P~ Now that I have the items in hand, I am seeking input from anyone who has installed an electric fuel pump assembly in a '67-'69 Barracuda engine bay. (Mine will...

I am forced to replace the timing chain cover for my 1968 318 engine due to corrosion of the water jacket holes in/out of the water pump assembly. There are no indicators on the front of the cover plate for use with setting timing when I start up the engine again. The problem I am facing is...

My son and I attended the World of Wheels car show in Calgary, AB this afternoon. Here are a few Mopar-only pics for everyone to enjoy. :rock:

After going through the details of the "My potential compression ratio" thread started by Octanejunkie and making use of the Keith Black web site noted therein, I am back to considering domed KB399 pistons again for my 0.040" oversize 318. Thanks to the contributors to that thread because I...

I just missed out on a chance to bid on a 650 cfm Thunder AVS with minimal run time on it. Is there anyone else wanting to part with one of these (or perhaps the 500 cfm version of the Thunder)? How about any new or nearly new Performer units (up to 750 cfm) in excellent condition? Please...

If anyone has an RPM Air Gap (7576x) or Performer RPM (7176x), I have a 318 to be mated with 340 heads that would provide a good home. My preference would be for the Air Gap (cool looking and compared in detail to Performer RPM in other threads) but I will not specifically shy away from the...
