Looking for the air cleaner and valve covers. Also might be interested in the intake manifold, carb and possibly a set of heads. So I should back up here a bit. The car is a 65 Barracuda from the AZ / CA area that is a really clean "survivor" car with no apparent rust. It has what I believe it...

Can any one tell me if this Hurst floor shift pattern was a stock item? I've looked at any number of first gen Barracuda interiors and never seen it. Sure looks like it could be stock though.

Just over 4 years ago I purchased a 1965 Barracuda that is a very clean Tucson car. It was advertised as having a Commando motor. I was suspicious of that, but the price was right and it's been a very fun 4 speed driver. Last fall I took it to a good Mopar shop here in Green Bay for a valve...

My 67 resto mod Barracuda is not getting fuel. It wants to start with starter fluid / gas in the carb but won't run. Tomorrow I am going to make sure it has gas in the tank and check the fuel filter. IF it still won't start Id like ideas on what else to try. I suspect it is the fuel pump but...

I have a 1965 Barracuda very original with what I believe to be a 1966 Commando in it, I mean I believe it is a 1966 motor from the block castings and similarly dated heads. It is not a Formula S car and there is factory tach (I have since added a period correct looking Sun tach). Simple...

Last September I picked up a 65 Barracuda and I'm trying to figure out exactly what I have. The car is in nice condition and appears very original but who really knows on a 50 year old vehicle. The price was right no matter what, my desire for info is for curiosity not value. The fender tag...

i just recently purchased a 1965 Barracuda with the 273 Commando. The speedo is not functioning - all zeros on the clock. Where do I start with diagnosis and repair?

after owning a 67 Barracuda for 8 years (which I still have) I just picked up 65 as well, very fun to drive! However after filling up the tank, I found out the gasket on the fuel gauge sending unit is leaking. It looks easy enough to replace, but I've never done it before. How do I get the...

I have a resto-modded 67 Barracuda with a built small block in it. The car currently has a built 727 with a 8 3/4 Sure-Grip with 3.23 gears. I'd like to do a 4-speed swap but that's out of question as she loves the car as it is. So I am thinking about a lower gear ratio (she will never know Ha...

I have a 340 punched to 417 attached to a 727. It appears they is a small leak at the main seal when the engine is running. To correct this does the engine need to come all the way out? Or can it be loosed / unbolted and pulled forward a bit to access and change the real seal? I assume the...

I'd like to get one of those battery topper that re-create the original Mopar look. Can anyone tell me the correct color of the filler caps for a 67 Barracuda?

One of my "Barracuda" badges fell off and a couple more badges are loose. What is the best way to attach them? The one that fell off just seem to be glued on with no backing nut or device of any kind. The others seem to be glued on with a small metal part on the inside body panel. Also my car...

Regulars on this forum may recall a week or so ago I posted about suspected fueling problems as the 417 stroker I have was idling poorly. Well after a few day of back and forth here the car idled and ran great. Well after taking a neighbor couple for a super fun ride Sunday it would not start...

I'll try a two for one here. In a prior post I asked about the correct oil to use in my 340 / 417. One response asked if I had a flat or roller tappet cam. I need an education here, I am not sure of the difference or desirability based on application. CAN someone ID the cam for me? Comp cam...

This might seem like a strange question but I am uncertain of the best oil to use in my professionally built small block. It's a 340 punched out to 417, balanced and blueprinted. Although I use the car as many weekends as I can (local cars shows), it only have 2500 miles on it in those fives...

A month ago I was driving and some white acrid came through the firewall. Thinking I had an engine fire I pulled over to check it out - nothing. A short time later the alternator failed, which I replaced. However it is still not charging the battery. I replaced the regulator, started the car and...

This weekend I'll be looking at a 67 Barracuda that may be of interest to me. It's got the 273 4bbl solid lifter motor in it and so far my research indicates a mopar fans have love/hate relationship with this motor. Either it's a great little screamer or not enough cubes. It's an automatic car...

I have a front suspension question that is a mystery to me but may have a simple answer from those on this forum with a lot more knowledge. The car is a 67 Barracuda notchback and the space between the tire and the top of the wheel well is about 1/2 inch different between the left and front...

First of all thanks to those all who responded to the earlier thread on my 471 HP smoking 340. Gold medals to BossVegaV8 and Oldmanmopar who correctly diagnosed the problem as a sucked intake gasket. The motor is in the shop with the intake manifold off, there was no locktite on the bolts and...

I have a 67 Barracuda with a professionally built 340 that has been bored and stroked to 417 cubes. Dyno'd at 471 HP 533 torque and it appears to make every bit of that, easily lighting up both big BF Goodriches through a Sure Grip rear end. The motor was built in late 2006 and all...
