    Proper A/C pie plate for 69 'Cuda 383 Formula S?

    Not sure if this is the right forum, but fuel systems didn't feel right either. We have a mostly original 383 S. The pie plate is as shown below 383 Four Barrel I recently saw an issue of Graveyard Cars where they worked their magic on a similar 383 Cuda, but that pie plate said Super...

    Black out paint behind headlight grill? - 69 Barracuda Formula S

    I know some MOPARS had black out paint near the radiator core support so that you didn't see body color through the grills. True for 69 Barracuda Formula S? If yes, please post a photo or paint instruction for what areas should be black? Thank you Craig

    OEM for master cylinders???, 69 BB Cuda - looking for replacement gasket

    The master cylinder in the Cuda works well, but the gasket allows fluid to leak and made my freshly re-painted MC look pretty bad in less than 2 years. The gasket seems to fit well and the rubber is "soft / pliable", but I'm going to try and find a replacement gasket. Some photo's of the...

    69 Cuda factory tachometer wiring (photo of rear connections)

    During a dash bezel refresh, I ended up knocking the tach needle off. I "think" I reinserted correctly, but now the tach doesn't work. Really hoping it is because I flailed on wiring connections, not tach needle issue. anyone have an image of where the two wires go to the posts on the tach? it...

    How to remove trip reset knob from dash bezel?

    Is it is simple as pulling it off and re-gluing? I don't want to just pull without a bit of confirmation. I want to remove the bezel from the gauge cluster to clean / re-fresh the gauges and needles. Thanks Craig

    Is there a better image / wire diagram that you can point me to? I have this from the PDF of the 69 Plymouth Service Manual. I'm troubleshooting an oil pressure gauge - no deflection issue. I've confirmed that the pressure sensor seems to be good and is sending the appropriate voltage to the...

    A few 383 re-assembly questions

    Please cut me some slack for asking what might seem like very basic questions; I've been away for many years and expect some things have changed for the better. i'm installing new lifters on an existing cam. One lifter failed and rather than just replacing one, I am replacing all. While doing...

    Identify this lifter?

    From a 69 383, (Sorry for posting in the SB forum, but did not see a R / RB specific forum.......). Mainly just trying to see if this is Original / OEM / Aftermarket? I suspect aftermarket since I don't remember seeing the "two tone" look back in the day. It's Hydraulic and surprisingly there...

    Power Steering box turns hard left when steering wheel released - yikes!

    I have a 69 "Cuda 383 that has a rebuilt power steering box. The steering box was rebuilt and unused for ~ 3 years before install and use. Once in use it demonstrated a built in permanent left turn to the steering stop. If the steering wheel is not held static, the wheels turn hard left and stay...

    Every buy from Jims Auto Parts in New Hampshire?

    Mopar Parts | Restoration Parts | Dodge Truck Parts | Jim's Auto Parts Ever buy? Not Every buy............ Nearly every time I call them I either get a busy signal or an elderly lady answers the phone, that can take an order, but has no product knowledge. I've given up on them. Cheers Craig

    Original look tyres for big block 69 'Cuda??

    As we put the car together, we will probably have two sets of wheels / tyres. One set will be 14" ralleys with BFG radial T/As. One set will be body colored 5 1/2" wide steelies with dog dish. Will probably use E70X14s for these wheels. I want to go with original look bias ply tyres for these...

    Your thoughts on 32K mile 69 383 Formula S FB

    I typically HATE car valuation threads, but I'm going to ask anyway. I've connected with a guy who has become a friend that is becoming quite the A body "Cuda guru. He has had 6 or 7 in and through his garage in the 8 months I've known him. He does not do rotisserie resto's, but typically...

    I've found a sweet car I'm considering buying. It does NOT have fold down rear seat option. Would appreciate leads to wrecking yards / suppliers for parts to convert non-fold down to fold down. Even better, would love to buy assembly from someone no longer using rear seat. I'm near San Diego...
