    Accelerator pump link in Holley 2280

    I replaced the Carter BBD carb on my 1967 Barracuda 273 with a Holley model 2280, specifcally, R-7890. The car has run much better since I did that many years ago. I rebuilt the Holley Spring of 2018, new kit and new (made in Taiwan) floats. Earlier this week, the carb suddenly began to leak...

    Failed heater core- '67 Barracuda small block, no A/C.

    The heater core failed today in my trusty '67 Barracuda. Darn thing only lasted 52+ years! Sopping up the mess now. The car is a small block without factory A/C. My factory service manual's procedure for replacing the core only covers cars with factory A/C. It looks like the procedure would...

    '67 273 valve oil seal replacement

    Decided to replace the valve oil seals today in my 67 Barracuda 273 2bbl. I bought this car with 60Kmiles in Sept 1974 and have owned it ever since, oil seals are probably the factory originals. Oil consumption is up and I’m doing this first because A) it’s easy and B) cheap at $16 for parts...

    Hard cold start- lack of fuel- UPDATED

    I'm trying to figure out a situation I've had for years with my '67 Barracuda 273 2bbl. It has developed a hard starting problem if it sits overnight or longer. The apparent problem is lack of fuel in the carb. I pump the accelerator to set the choke and it will fire briefly, then die...

    Question on changing SB mechanical fuel pump

    I'm about to replace the stock mechanical fuel pump on my 1967 Barracuda, last replaced in 1978. Dumb question... So, the fuel tank is full. When I cut the rubber fuel line feeding the pump, are the fuel tank contents going run out on the floor or is the pump mounted higher than the max...

    '67 Barracuda Service Bulletin 67-25-6

    Going through my old files and I found a copy of this service bulletin and scanned it. When the '67 Plymouth service manual (PN 81-570-7450) was printed, it included no information specific to the Barracuda. This service bulletin has the Barracuda specific service info, such as servicing the...

    Quality time under the car- fuel sender

    After reading many threads here on replacing the fuel sender, I ordered one for my '67 Barracuda and installed it today. Talk about easy! The worst part was cleaning off 44 years of accumulated grime covering the sender and everything near it. The rear axle had a slow fluid leak at the drain...

    7 1/4" axle drain plug gasket. Source?

    The 7 1/4" rear axle is leaking fluid, apparently around the drain plug. The service manual shows a gasket on the drain plug, so I'd like to pull the plug and replace that gasket. I haven't been able to find a replacement part listed by a parts supplier. Does anybody know how to get a...

    Fuel tank sender needed- '67 Barracuda

    My old fuel tank sender has quit sending and I see evidence of a fuel leak at the sender. There seem to be a few different replacement senders offered- any input on what would be a good choice?

    My shifter is nuts!

    Actually, the nuts on the factory Inland shifter keep coming loose. I've had a few instances where a shop put the car on a lift, then commented they found the shifter nuts loose, in one case almost falling off. In each case, they re-tightened the nuts. Apparently those nuts keep loosening...

    Radiator question- 67 Barracuda

    Car is a 67 Barracuda, 273 2bbl. No factory air, but an aftermarket A/C was installed by former owner. The radiator is Chrysler-branded. The upper hose connection is on the passenger side of the tank. All the photos I see of engine compartments with non-A/C cars show the upper hose...

    67 Barracuda Rallye Dash removal ?

    My '67 Barracuda has the rallye dash and it needs work. Recently, both the temperature gauge and speedometer quit. Temp gauge reads about 1/3 scale when ignition off or cold engine, slightly lower when the engine is warmed up, does not respond when the sensor wire is shorted to ground, voltage...

    273 thermostat housing leak- mystery solved!

    I've never been able to get this housing to seal completely and I've been trying for 37 years. It always seeped a little coolant and it was getting worse. Thanks to this forum, now, I know why. I found several related threads here and learned several of you reported your housings were...

    New member, long-time A-body owner

    I'm glad I found this forum. My A-body is a '67 Barracuda fastback, 273/2 bbl/4-speed bought for $600 in 1974. It came from New Mexico via Georgia. It's been a fair-weather driver ever since I bought it. Turquoise exterior/tan interior, console, vacuum gauge. I had it repainted a few years...

    New member, brake master cylinder question

    Hi, all: I'm new to the forum. I have a '67 Barracuda with standard manual drum brakes and I need to replace the master cylinder. The factory service manual says to disconnect the push rod from the brake pedal. Uh, OK...I'd like to avoid that- not sure my hands will fit in that space. I...
