Okay newbie has read 100 threads, and every time there are so many options that my head spins. I want to buy a "bolt-on" head and cam combo that will last me until I either build or replace this engine. Here is what I have: stock 318, '69 edel 1406 carb (600cfm) edel 2176 intake (performer)...

So I jack up just one side, put it on a stand. Mark drive shaft and tire, and turn the wheel while counting revolutions of both wheel and shaft. I did this several times and got the following results: 8 wheel = 11 shaft 5 wheel = 7 shaft This figures to 1.375 and 1.4 respectively. WTF? What...

So what I have is a 1969 318 Barracuda. Its only got 114k on it so I am not going to go past the intake until I need to. I think the accelerator pump is gone; I have to roll on the gas really slowly or it will stall. The only mod it has is dual 2" exhaust with high flow mufflers. I want a bolt...

69 Barracuda variable speed wipers. Sometimes (5% of the time), the park feature works. Most of the time, when I turn the wipers off they stop right away- so I have to time it so that they are not in my vision. Other times, when they have been off for a while ( a minute to a day) they will swipe...

Slowly bringing this thing back to life. For now, I have it on the road. I have put dual exhaust w/ stock manifold, and on the intake side I have a K&N and drilled the airfilter box out a bit to let it breath. Thats it and thats how I am going to drive it until I get more cash. After recent...

For a 69 Barracuda with the push button heater controls: I bought a "working" part to replace mine that had fallen apart. Only to find that it was about 5 pushes away from being in the same shape as my old one. So I pulled the back off (it was half off already) and found the wafer boards as in...

I have some surface rust- none of it is deep enough to even get a piece off of- you can scrape at it and sand it and not get any to come off- it is all very very superficail- but it IS there. I am slowly working on the car- and concentrating on the engine, suspension, safety issues, etc. I want...

Last night my wife and I took the 69 barracuda for its first mission since we have owned it- to a local pizza place for some beer and a pie. We took a taxi home. The car would not start, no lights, etc. After reading this morning about the ammeter problems and the fusible link I went back to the...

Trying to keep this car all original but I want headrests for safety issues. It has the front split bench with a fold down armrest. I have seen a few headrests for sale for '69 Barracuda, but how do I install them? Are there kits available? I have searched for a while now on this forum and the...

So here are two pictures: one that I pulled off of another thread, and then one of my car (69 notchback) in my shop. Mine is the hardtop- the one that needs painting. I think these are the same color- I have read that it is called Olive Green. What is the code? Is it F3- that looks much...

Hi- FNG here, and I just bought a 1969 Barracuda. I have wanted one for about 20 years now and just found this one. It is a 318 automatic. I will read as much as I can on this forum to figure all this stuff out, but I have a few basic questions as I get started... My mission is to...
