Looks like mine Brake pedal is about 2” higher than yours. Doesn’t seem like much, but, 8” distance from the foot on the gas to the pedal feels dangerous. If I’m right foot breaking, I often catch the side of the pedal with the side of my shoe. Can be quite thrilling. Also, I’m 6’4” tall, so...

Got my photos- let me sure what y’all think. Brake in neutral position Brake pedal lifted up all the way Brake pedal presses fully Distance between throttle and bake in neutral positions. Distance between throttle and brake with gas to the floor.

Man, so nice of you to post those measurements. Very helpful - tomorrow I’ll measure mine and see how close it is to yours. I don’t know exactly what yr referring too - but - I think I get they yr saying there might be an extra piece in the assembly that’s pushing the pedal higher. Maybe I...

I didn’t, but I don’t think this is the original either. There were weird non-mopar parts on her when we got her. She had a GM alternator installed backward with a Jerry rigged bolt for example.

I don’t think so. I feel the pressure build in the system pretty much right after I press the brake. And the brake pressed all the way down isn’t much further down. Maybe just 4-5”.

Let me stick a ruler in there so there is no misleading from the photo. I can say this, I've driven lots of old vehicles in my years, including early 70's mobile home toaters, and this is the scariest break pedal position I've ever encountered.

Oh? Not sure if the photo is misleading. Would you say 10” with the pedal down sounds right for stock?

Took some pics of the break assembly. There is rust in places I didn’t even know :p

Not sure if it's stock.

Hey yall, Got a 69 Barracuda that has a break pedal super high. With my foot just touching the gas pedal, I'd guess the brake pedal is 8-10"'s higher. It's a 3 speed auto with drums. Always been like this, I've adopted a left foot braking driving style just to have a foot closer to the brake...

Sorry - am I posting to the wrong place?

Tried to DM you @cudamark but yr inbox was full. Also, it may be worth mentioning that I'm not going for a tru super six conversion, I just want a bigger carb and more exhaust. I found a super six intake and exhaust manifold a long time ago, but at some point I will likely go Dutra Duals and...

Hey y’all, I got a 69 cuda with a slant six, and my trusted mechanic said the carb is bad. He said the air jet hole is too big from excessive corrosion. It’s a the holly 1920. Would a Carter BBS be a direct replacement? I’ve found this one that says it’s for a ‘66 Rebuilt Carter BBS 1-Barrel...

Ah - so the car was built 9/19/1968 - but the engine stamp says 2709.. Is that Sept 27?

Everything looks close from the fender tag - looks like this database isn't pulling up the modtop stuff - just not sure if this is the original engine.

Just discovered there is a Trenton in MI.

Hi! I'm trying to match the numbers in my 69 Barracuda Modtop. I have a slant 6. The Fender plate is pretty rusty, but it looks like it says: A01 C16 C55 C15 G33 L31 Y2 F6P X2 919 067330 E24 D31 BH23 B9B 144489 I see E24 = 225 1 Barrel 6 Cylinder so I know it's the right type of...

Hi - I need a recommendation for a good car cover for my 69 Barracuda. I live in NYC, and even tho the car is covered in a carport, it's not garaged. Any brand / type suggestions? Oh -and I didn't see a Car Care section, so, I posted in Body. Hope that's ok \\:D/ Drats

Yep - brand new. Registered this morning!

Oh - and we got the windshield replaced! Not too bad for Brooklyn prices - $200 with glass. And the trip looks like it's never been touched.

Thanks for the welcome everybody! Here are some shots from when we first got her out of the garage. You can see rust stains on the rather dull paint. Compound waxing got those off... and brought the paint back to factory brilliance. You can see the dent in the door, the drivers side front...

BillGrissom - not sure of the carb model, was there more than one that came stock? It's been taken off and cleaned, but does idle pretty rough, and has a hard time starting in the cold. I however need to learn what to expect from it tho... This is my first classic car - ever - so, yeah it...

Thanks BillGrissom for all the info. I had the break system checked again, turns out there WAS a leak at the FL drum. It's been repaired, and the system bled. Brakes work a lot better now. Very firm. The pedal is still sitting really high. It's probably 4-6" closer to the driver's seat...

Asbury Lanes! We've had plans to play there - but we're on hiatus while our guitarist kicks some health issues in the ***.

Cool - 'danka!

Hi All! My name is Brain, but I go by Dratsum on the internet. I live in Brooklyn Ny. My girlfriend's (AKA "my wife's") first and only car is a 1969 Barracuda Mod Top with a slant 6. Totally stock. She drove it from about 1999-2005, when she put it in storage after we moved from GA to...

OH - MeMike - I was looking for a complete ignition conversion kit - what kind did you get?

Thanks MeMike - just spent the last 1/2 hour reading yr Victoria thread.. great job man! Wish we had the room to do that kinda work! Living in Brooklyn doesn't make it easy, but I have a friend with a shop who will let me come in and work with him. Petula is my Girlfriend's car - but - I've...
