    [SOLD] 68 BARRACUDA GILLS

    I have held onto these for many years but never got the car to mount them on. These gills are in exceptional condition, with a little of the black paint flaking. One gill has ten bubbles on the end that are about the size of a pinprick. Hardly noticeable once mounted on a car. Parts are in...

    carpet installation question

    Finishing up the carpet installation on my 69 cuda. On the door sill area, does the carpet lap over the pinch weld or do you lop it off even with the top of the pinch weld? There was no carpet in my car when I bought it so I have no way of knowing. Did not want to booger up my aluminum sill...

    1969 barracuda body stripes

    About 2 months ago I applied a set of red 3M factory style body stripes to my barracuda. The drivers door was not fully latching at that time, but I foolishly applied the stripes anyway making sure they aligned horizontally. So last night I adjusted the door where it closes properly, and you...

    Clutch pedal sticks in down position

    Never dealt with a problem like this before - restored a 318 barracuda where the previous owner had put some type of racing clutch in it. It took incredible foot force to depress the clutch pedal down. I replaced the clutch with an OEM style standard duty clutch. I also put new bushings in...

    Cannot match rear brake hose

    I am trying to finish my 69 barracuda. Rear hose appears original as does the bracket which is attached to the body supports the end of the hose. My original bracket is indexed for a hex ended hose. All of the parts stores list a hose without a hex end. Any suggestions? See photo with...

    73-76 lower control arms with sway bar tabs

    This is a set I got some time ago when i pulled the disk brakes off of a 73 Dodge Dart Sport. One arm had some pitting on it, but both were from the same car. These will need to be re-bushed. Only one pin as the host car refused to give up the other one. Should work fine with your old ones...

    Wanted: 68-70 340 choke assembly

    Hi, I am looking for the unit that uses two bolts to fasten to the intake and is flat across the top. The opening in my intake for the choke assembly is level with the carb surface so the choke must be flat on the top or it will interfere with the AVS carburetor. They repop these for 55...

    Motor mount bracket difference - 318, 340

    Please help! Doing my first MOPAR project and noticed that the engine mount bracket, on the LH side, removed from my 1969 318, does not fit my 1969 340, which I plan to install in the car. The 318 motor has 2 bosses with 4 holes on each side, but the 340 has 2 bosses with only 3 holes on each...

    How to prime oil pump

    I am on my very first LA engine rebuild. What is the best way to prime the oil pump and get the engine primed? Can you install the cam without the oil pump gear drive so that you can prime the engine fully assembled (minus distributor and intake), or does the oil pump gear drive have to be...

    Factory tachometer

    Don't know what this originally fit. It was at one time wedged into the front center of a 69 Barracuda cluster, but it is too long to fit in from the back. It is a 5000 rpm 8 cyl tach. Numbers on the side are SW960CE, 3489788, & 82886. Has good needle bounce, does not appear to ever have...

    Wheel cylinders for 11 inch drums

    I bought a 65-70 B-body 8.75 inch rear to wedge under my 69 barracuda. The rear came out of another A-body car so I do not know the original application. It also came with massive 11 inch finned drums. I have tried to replace the wheel cylinders, but all of the chain auto parts stores have a...

    Is a 69 cuda dash pad different?

    I want to buy a red dash cap for my 69 barracuda but was told by the vendor that the 69 a-body one only fit the duster, dart etc. Is a 69 barracuda dash pad any different from the ones that are sold as 69-76 a-body?
