    1965 A904 Neutral Safety Switch to 3-prong

    I have a stuck neutral safety switch that seems to be cause of a major oil leak. With my exhaust routing, I've been putting off replacing the NSS as long as I can but the leak has gotten so bad that I don't want to park in anyone's driveway. I know that I can get replacement 1-post switches...

    Caster & Camber VS Height

    I have a 1965 Barracuda that I've upgraded from 9" drums to 74 Duster disc brakes and used urethane UCA bushings from Just Suspensions. I don't have power steering. Having read up on the alignment advice here at FABO and at slantsix.org, I want to my car to have: Camber: -0.25° L / -0.25° R...

    New Upper Control Arms

    Due to an unfortunate lack of tightening of a slider caliper bracket bolt, I am now in need of a right-hand upper control arm. Generally, I've found that most of the UCAs for sale are pairs (left and right) so I might have to buy a pair to get a RH. However, I came across one eBay vendor...

    Alignment Shops in the Niagara Region

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a good alignment shop in the Niagara Region of Ontario? How much time does an experienced mechanic normally take to align an early a-body (1965 Barracuda)?

    LCA Reinforcement Plate

    I'm working on upgrading to slider disc brakes on my 1965 Barracuda. Since I bought a front-end kit from Just Suspensions, I've got the LCAs out now to change the LCA bushings. I see that both Firm Feel and AR Engineering offer LCA Reinforcement Plates. FirmFeel recommends them with a sway...

    65 Barracuda Sway Bar Upgrade

    I added an Addco PN 751 (1-1/8") sway bar kit to my 65 Barracuda may years ago. My set-up is exactly like emsvitil's 64 Valiant Installation. Now that I've got the lower control arms out to replace the bushings, I noticed that the Addco sway bar tabs seem to have been pivoting on the shock...

    Quadrajet on a Slant Six

    While it might seem that a 750 CFM Rochester Quadrajet is way too much carburetor for a slant six, I would have to disagree. Since it has air-valve secondaries, the Quadrajet actually performs like a small 2bbl carburetor. The primaries on a Quadrajet are rated at 161 CFM @ 1.5” Hg. For...

    Intake Manifold Heat

    There is a very good reason that Chrysler designed a manifold heat control device into their intake/exhaust manifold and that Clifford designed water heat into their intake manifold. Many people eliminate manifold heat from their engines in the belief that cooler air is beneficial to an engine...

    Early Mustang Disc Brakes on Mopar K-H Spindles

    I was researching alternative brake options for Mopar Kelsey-Hayes disc brakes and found a few references to the interchangeability of the early Mustang (65-67) disc brakes. The Mustangs seemed to have used the same disc brake hub and rotor assembly from 65 to 67. As for calipers, there was...

    B-Body Rotors on K-H spindles

    I was reading Tom Condran's book (Performance Handling for Classic Mopars) and on Page 5 he writes: I see that Layson's Restorations and the Paddock carry a unicast (combined hub & rotor) verson of this rotor. Has anyone tried this B-Body rotor on their A-Body K-H disc brakes? Does anyone...

    New Brake Data Page

    I've been researching braking options for the projects I have here at home and thought it would be useful to have a comprehensive source for this information. I've just finished the first draft of my brake data page and would appreciate a review. Any comments or suggestions would also be greatly...
