    How do you determine stock ride height.

    I rebuilt the front end of my '65 Barracuda this spring. Since the rebuild, I have a tire rub when I back out of my driveway. Both sides will rub depending which way I turn the wheel. Before the rebuild, I did not have this issue. I should have taken some measurements before I started, but, I...

    WIW Old industrial hemi

    My brother acquired an old stationary style hemi engine from the '50s. It was used to power irrigation systems back in the day. The engine is complete from carb to oil pan. It is a non running engine, but it is not stuck. I am curious as to what would need to be done to this to adapt it to a...

    Wanting to upgrade ignition coil

    I have a mildly built 360 with the electronic distributor and an orange control box. Right now, I am running a stock coil. What kind of coil should I be looking for? This car is street driven, never raced.

    Daytona Charger

    Took the wife out to breakfast yesterday morning at McDonald's (nothing but the best for her! LOL!) and saw this parked across the intersection. Just don't see these out every day! I have seen this parked over the there before. I believe it belongs to the owner of the store. He has had it for...

    '65 Barracuda headliner installation

    Well, after I got an estimate of over $300 to install my headliner, I decided to tackle the job myself. Yesterday, I peeled off the lock strip from the windshield to see how hard it would be to remove the glass. It didn't take long to go in and call the glass co. to take out the windshield and...

    Cost of Chrome Plating

    I was just wondering what I should expect to pay to have my bumpers on my Barracuda replated? the bumpers are real straight with no pitting. They look like the p.o. Used steel wool to clean them over the years.

    904 to a833 conversion

    I'm considering converting my '65 Barracuda to a 4-speed. I am considering an a-833. I like the idea of an overdrive. I have acquired the pedals, z-bar and linkage, bell housing, and hump from a '66 Barracuda. Will an a-833 bolt up to this bell housing? It is the stock cast iron bell housing...

    1965 Barracuda steering column seal

    I have been noticing a lot of hot air blowing on me from under the dash. Today , while I was driving, I started looking for the source. It did'nt take long to figure out that it was coming out from aroound the steering column. I knew that the seal was bad, but with this hot weather, it's getting...

    how hot is too hot?

    When it's 90-95 degrees like it's been lately, and driving in city traffic, the temp gauge will register 210 deg. I've never seen it above this. When driving on the highway, 60 to 70 MPH, it stays at 180 deg. When I get some time and money, I plan on upgrading to an aluminum radiator and an...

    Yeah, It's got a hemi.

    It's not an A-body, but I thought it was interesting. Saw this for sale on US41 north of Attica IN. I think if I had this, I would drive it just as it is.

    Rebuilt 360, excessive oil consumption

    I got this engine running about a month ago. I put about 300 miles on it when last night I had to add the first quart of oil. I thought it would get better when it is broke-in. Today I took it on a trip to Edinburgh, 120 miles one way. It ran great on the way down, 60 psi oil pressure at 60 mph...

    The Fish has a twin!

    I had a couple of guys ask me what my car was doing at a garage in Attica. I told them it wasn't mine that there must be another one similar. Well, the wife and I went out for breakfast this morning in Attica, (McDonalds, nothing but the best!) Went by the garage where this car was at and holy...

    It"s alive!

    Started my new 360 today and broke in the cam. It fired right up, but I had #3 and #6 plug wires crossed. After that being fixed, I started the break-in procedure. Everything went without a glitch, except me getting my middle finger too close to the fan. I thought only dumb a$$es did that, well...

    6volt coil?

    Ok, I am in the final stages of swapping in a fresh 360 in the place of a very tired 318 in my '65 Barracuda. I noticed when I was cleaning up the coil, it said it was 6 volts. When I got the car last fall it had the old style breaker point distributor. I did a tune-up (plugs, points...

    oil filter question

    I got my 360 in my '65 Barracuda today and I was wondering what oil filter should I get? It has a 90deg. adapter.I found a Fram PH2870A filter on the shelf that I have no idea what it was for. It spun right on, and the gasket matched perfectly. Is there any reason why I can't use this?

    Early 904/360 torque converter concerns

    I have a '65 Barracuda that I am in the process of swapping in a 360. I know the 360 is externally balanced. The engine builder supplied me with a flex plate with the weights on it. My concern is I have been reading that the snout on the converter is smaller than the hole on the end of the 360's...

    drive shaft question

    I removed the drive shaft from my '65 Barracuda and found out there is a rubber boot on the front u-joint that is broken. I haven't disassembled it yet, but being a relative Mopar Newbie, is this called a u-joint, a cv joint, or what? And also, can I get this at my local NAPA store, or is there...

    333 engine

    Has anyone heard of boring a 318 over .090 to make a 333? Sounds like a little too much to me.
