    A833OD Binding in 4th Gear

    Hi everyone, I am finally reviving the 4-speed overdrive swap that I started 5 years ago now that the engine is finally out of my car. All I am missing now is a flywheel and the floor hump! I inspected the A833OD that I rebuilt in 2018, and found that it will spin freely in every gear except...

    1968 Barracuda Cooling System Upgrade Questions

    Hi all, I've recently moved my car with me from AK to Indiana (you may have seen the road trip thread around) and it's becoming clear that either something isn't right or something is too small in my cooling system. The car has never lived in weather this hot (80-90 deg. F) and I can't cruise...

    Torque Box Question

    Naturally, as one who doesn't have a large budget does, I have been spending a lot of time drooling over parts I can't afford but really want on the internet.

    Center Console Restoration Help

    Hi everyone, A while ago I bought this center console for a good price from another member on here, and haven't really had time to get to it since. The good price came from the fact that she's a little beat up and needs restoration before she goes in the notchback. I'm no expert here but I'm...

    Hi all, I'm selling my black Conqueror Snell SA2015 Helmet as it is too small for me, and by the time I discovered this it was past the return date. It has been used once for a go-kart track day (wore a head sock, so it's not smelly :D), but other than that is brand new. The visor works...

    "Trim Grade/Class" VIN decoding?

    Hi all, this is a bigger-scale question that I have had for a long time. For our cars (1967-76 as far as I am aware), the second digit of the VIN identifies the car's "trim grade" or class. Can someone explain what this means please? My car (1968 Barracuda) is a "high class" trim grade but is...

    Does anyone know a good shop in Indianapolis for a college student?

    I moved from Anchorage, Alaska to Indianapolis a couple months ago for college, and decided to leave my Barracuda at home. As a more economical and reliable vehicle, I decided to buy a 1988 Toyota Corolla GT-S. Of course it has quirks and issues, but it seemed alright and is pretty fun to drive...

    Need help identifying bad IVR

    Howdy all, I need some help tracking down why my gauge cluster is acting funny. I'm curious if it's the IVR, because the problem itself is a bit of a doozy.

    So I'm going to be putting new brake lines on my '68 notch, and the only line I didn't buy as a preformed stainless line from classic industries was the line that runs from the front distribution block to the flex hose at the rear axle.

    Anyone else have issues with NAPA/Oreilly master cylinders?

    I'm curious because I'm about to install the fourth one in my '68 barracuda and am kinda tired of it (to be fair, the first one in the car had sat for 10 years and was in bad shape). After I replaced the muck-filled master cylinder with a NAPA reman unit when I got the car in 2015, I drove it...

    Removing stuck shift knob?

    So I'm currently trying to remove the shift knob from my 1976 A833OD so I can refinish it and make it all pretty again, and it's like, super stuck.
