    Mopar A-Body 4-Door parts....Save them?

    OP, I have a modest collection of mopars but 3 of them are More Doors, one of which is a wagon. I'd be interested in door panels, arm rests, and arm rests brackets for a 1969 Dart I'm building for my daughter. I think 67-75/76 dart would work. Trying to retain the blue interior them, but...

    TorqStorm® Slant 6 Supercharger Kit

    My daily driver is a 66 Valiant MoreDoor with a hot-rodded slant six and floorspeed, and I have a 66 Barracuda with 6.1 based 426 gen3 hemi. I must say that I like driving the slant just as much as the hemi. They each have their perks. That said, I'm very interested in this product. I want to...

    Rear Swaybar options w/ RMS StreetLynx

    I've been experiencing major understeer and some body roll in the autoX and my front tires (Nitto NT555, I know not the best autox tire) were rolling over, even inflated to 40psi. I thought I'd start with stiffer springs, better tires, a fatter front sway bar, then a rear sway bar. I've 4 corner...

    Rear Swaybar options w/ RMS StreetLynx

    Any of you cats running (or know somebody who does) a RMS StreetLynx 4-links with the perches moved inboard for bigger tires w/ a rear swaybar? If so, what are you/they running? I have a 66 Barracuda with RMS front and rear that's been mini-tubbed with boxed-in frame rails. I want to run a sway...

    66 Valiant /6 hood clearance

    That's a nice clean signet! You'd catch a lot of folks by surprise if you turbo-ed it and kept those wheels, lol! I'm very interested in the turbo idea but figure that would be way down the road when/if I get around to going EFI. The NA 390 is my stepping stone for now as I currently have the...

    66 Valiant /6 hood clearance

    Thanks for the compliment and the advice Fury. Playdough is simple enough. Those wheels are 17x7" 5 on 4.5 Mustang Bullitt style wheels I got from Wheel Replicas, though they kinda look more like Boss 338s. The deck and head are shaved to a 9.5:1 SCR, and balanced crank/rods; heads have...

    66 Valiant /6 hood clearance

    Hey Folks, I'm gearing up to do a 4bbl/header upgrade on my 225 /6 to unlock my build. Here's what I've got and what I want to do: I have Clifford shorty headers, a Clifford 4bbl intake, and a freshly rebuilt Holley 390. I have a stock hood with matting. I want to run an air box or plenum (carb...

    Supercharged 6.4L in a 64 Valiant

    Looks great man, very nice work! You've probably got something already up your sleeve, but definitely install weld-in frame connectors. I'm curious what you do for exhaust manifolds/headers. I couldn't afford custom made headers and used SRT8 Jeep manifolds. Earlier this year, after 3.5 years of...

    QUESTION:1966 PLYMOUTH VALIANT

    It had its challenges to say the least: exhaust, fitment, accessories, K frame, tranny tunnel, etc. One idea we took from the old Super Stock Hurst hemi 68 Barracuda was using steel braided flex lines from the master cylinder to the hard lines in the frame so that I can unbolt the master...

    QUESTION:1966 PLYMOUTH VALIANT

    No, but I put a Gen3 Hemi in a 66 Barracuda, which is practically the same car. I also have a 66 Valiant but it's just got a lowly ol' /6! :rolleyes: If you really meant a Gen II (early) hemi you're posting in the wrong forum.

    AEM troubles

    New development: AEM finally got back to me!! A little late, since I already pulled the trigger on the MegaSquirt gold box. But their offer gives me pause. They'll give me a ~$460 trade in value on my old AEM/MP Grey box toward an Infinity Series 5 ECU. I could then modify my existing harness...

    AEM troubles

    Yep, that's the one. I ordered one from them early this week. Mike is a fellow Mopar nut, very knowledgeable, and great to talk to. I'll be updating as the installation progresses. 72BBswinger, it's good to have your feedback and nice to hear that it's working out well for you. I'm interested in...

    AEM troubles

    One last ditch effort (idea) is to send my AEM box to somebody with a known good system, swap it in, and see if they can connect to it. Does anybody else have this in an operable system and willing to test it for me?

    AEM troubles

    I'm abandoning the AEM system; MP no longer supports it and neither does AEM. Maybe if I could find a box quickly, and for very cheap (like <=$500), I would consider it. But fun driving season is just about here and I need to get this beast back on the road! After a lot of research and...

    AEM troubles

    Thanks for the responses guys, those are great suggestions! I'm suspicious that heat may have caused the issue but I know that it's not maintaining it, if that makes sense. I went through the whole round of troubleshooting the day after the car was towed, in other words everything was completely...

    AEM troubles

    Hey Folks! I have a 426 gen3 hemi managed by the MP AEM grey box (part# P5153528). I just crossed about ~3k miles on the brand new motor and it was running GREAT. I was slowly dialing in the calibration but some gremlins began to expose their ugly heads and finally took the system down! Here's...

    A question on mini tubbing

    I have a 66 Barracuda that a good friend did the minitubbing on, but we also installed the RMS StreetLynx with boxed frame link mounts. I was able to fit 315/35/17 tires on 17x10.5 wheels with 6.8" BS. Like Commando66 said I had to trim/narrow all the interior parts of the cargo area, and like...

    1965 Valiant + Gen 3- 6.4 Hemi

    I just "finished" up a project putting a gen3 426 hemi in a 66 barracuda and drove it out to MATS a few weeks ago. As far as tubular k member there are several options, but I used the Alterktion front suspension system (and StreetLynx 4 link in the rear as well). Bill Reilly has been wonderful...

    AEM EFI starting & tuning (Gen3 426)

    I'm still working on that. Yeah, AEM passed support to a 3rd party (see bottom of post #20). But since I'm not having technical issues, I shouldn't need to contact them. I'm going to tinker on tuning myself. Though a professional dyno tune would be ideal, but there aren't any AEM tuners in my...

    AEM EFI starting & tuning (Gen3 426)

    Thanks for the compliments and well wishes; Kit Carson, thanks for verifying the stock wiring layout; and immense thanks to Cuda SRT8 for sending the AEM/Mopar software!! Next time I'm down in the Bay Area, I'll make sure to pay you a visit. It's so great to have a community to lean into when...

    AEM EFI starting & tuning (Gen3 426)

    Ok guys, here's an update. I finally drove the car for the first time the weekend before last and it drove exactly like I imagined it would. The EFI gives it very good driveability starting up and cruising around; my girlfriend with no experience driving a muscle car (though she does now) could...

    66 Cuda hood hinge/prop options

    Cosgig, thanks for digging up the links! 64_Barracuda, other than what Cosgig linked above I may not be able to help you much. As mentioned above, the previous owner had removed the torsion bar hood supports (I think he cut them off) and welded the holes closed (pics below), along with the...

    Bilstein boots

    Thanks for the prompt response. I'm very relieved to hear that running these without the boots won't void the warranty and that you stand behind their replacement if it comes to that. Other than what I mentioned above, I was also concerned when FirmFeel said they sell theirs with boots. Time...

    Bilstein boots

    I just received my order of Bilstein shocks for my 66 Valiant, but the fronts didn't come with boots. Should they? It seems like it would drastically shorten their life if I ran without them as their is a lip that would retain water and dirt in the tops around the shaft. If I need to buy them...

    66 Cuda hood hinge/prop options

    Thanks Cosgig, that'll be great! I just found your thread regarding the Trunk Lid Prop Rod Assembly, and is also what I've been looking for. I sent Mike an email, so hopefully he has another one.

    66 Cuda hood hinge/prop options

    I was wondering what options are available for hood hinges and hood props for an early Barracuda. I've swapped in a GenIII hemi and the torsion bar style hood props were removed to allow fitment for the motor drop (they're gone now). If I bolt the hood on to the existing (floppy) hinges it seems...
