Let's put it this way...I don't think you can go wrong with the comp 268AH. It's a nice step up from the stock 340 cam which is pretty mild. And a bit more lift than the new (old) MP cam I have.

I get the joke!

I noticed that too? Just use the "kit" number P4452761. Good cam but very old design.

I agree. The aftermarket designs have computer aided profies with faster lobes. My current favorite cam is Comp's magnum muscle 268AH-10 for a relatively stock LA engine with 9.2 or higher compression. A good bowl porting and three angle valve seats on stock heads is worth the effort and...

Been reading reviews for the Ramman which are mixed. I like his videos and he has been doing the brake booster/master cylinder/caliper restorations for many years. Before I send my precious Midland power booster and super rare master cylinder to him, I want to get members feedback. Please post...

Can the original disc brake master cylinder for a 69 Barracuda S car be used with rear disc brakes? If I remove the inline proportioning valve (using the available one piece rear brake line) I do not see any reason that it would not work. The dr. diff rear calipers would not require a large...

This COVID-19 stay at home order has allowed me to get back to assembling a '69 340. The body is '69 Barracuda S fastback, 727, 3:23, 245R60/15 rear tires. Engine is rebuilt 020 over short block 9.5 compression, 69cc X heads with bowl work/steel exh. seats and slight clean-up cut. I need to...

Yes, my installer used tape to hold the gaskets in place against the body then work the glass in the grove with pull rope. The rear gasket was a real hassle. When done the tape just gets trimmed with a razor blade. And yes, the rubber does not lay perfectly flat on the dash.

It's possible Precision has made mold improvements since I bought my gaskets over ten years ago, who knows, but the old gaskets fit poorly and had the same part number as their current gaskets. WCRD690 windshield WCRDB3847 back glass. You can't tell how good they will fit until you actually...

Thanks for the feedback.

Sure wish I had researched here before paying to have my new windshield and cherry fastback rear glass installed. My 69 Formula S is being restored at a shop and I have been supplying the parts I've purchased over the years as needed. I used old (new in the bag) PC (Taiwan) gaskets (my bad)...

Thanks for the lesson, I think. Yes, my heads were bowl ported. They were cc matched (68cc) and hardened exhaust rings installed. All separate jobs. The head builder called it a stage one. I agree no one has the same stage one work. But most gear heads understand that when someone says...

No racing intended. I had the shop rebuild the 340 to 9.5 static compression and had the hardened exhaust rings installed in addition to stainless valves for todays crappy fuel. I'm old school and we always called it pocket porting years ago. But now folks say "bowl ported". The plan was to...

This is the type of feed back I'm looking for. Thanks

Thanks!

Thanks rumblfish360. "stage one" is a term used by engine builders when referring to minor porting of heads. For instance, a simple pocket porting job. Typical Stage two would be further porting into the runners or increase in valve size either one or both valves. Gasket match, etc.

I'm looking for feed back on the Comp Cams XE262 as compared to the popular XE268 in a 340. If your trying to torgue up a 340 the XE262 seems a better choice to me based on spec's and comp cams free online dyno graph. My engine is 9.5 compression with stage one X heads. Anyone used this cam?

Hi, my name is Bill and I live not far from you. Pictures tell the story about the kind of work you do. I've owned a 1969 Barracuda Formula S fastback since 1994. The project stalled out for many years but now that I'm retired I have the time to get it finished. With the engine out, the next...

You did a great job of documenting your disc conversion, thanks. Pictures made it helpful too.

Thanks to you all for a warm welcome. O:) I will post some pics soon. Boy, some of you have a long list of rides. Here's my current stable, from the oldest to latest... '69 Barracuda Formula S fastback '99 Mustang coupe '01 Dakota Quad Cab '07 Saturn Sky Redline...

Your a funny guy...let me check to see how much wine I still have after the big Earthquake. House is OK though. Stuff fell off the shelves in the garage but the Bcuda was in the middle of the gargage so nothing hit it. :prayer:

I've got a good used pair of A Body hinges for sale. Will bring them to the Wine Country Mopar meeting this month. Bill

I'm the third owner of a highly optioned 69 Bcuda Formula S 340 auto Fastback that I bought in 1994. This is a numbers match car with all the original body panels and glass. I have all the original sales documentation, window price label and Broadcast sheet. The two son's of the original...
