Hi Guys, my 2.5 year project is almost finished...Once I get brakes to work, I can drive it down the road. Like everything else, it's a struggle. I left the original drum brakes on the car. New wheel cylinders, diverter on top of the rear axle and new hard brake lines. The rubber lines to...

Weird problem here guys, took apart my steering column and re-finished my small spline barracuda steering wheel. It was all cracked and after tons of work, its back together and re-painted. Trying to put my steering wheel back in the car there are 4 parts, the wheel, the middle portion the trim...

65 Barracuda. Have the windshield out, so I have access to the back of the headlight switch and the fuse box. Currently I have constant battery power and switched power when I pull on the headlights. The problem is that the tan wire feeding the instrument cluster fuse doesn't show power at...

I am putting together my 65 Barracuda. I need to get the distance from the end of the steering column cover to the power steering pump fitting in order to re-attach my steering wheel. The steering wheel needs to slip onto the splines on the steering shaft at a certain depth in order for the...

Hi Guys, I am getting ready to fire up my 318LA engine after a lot of careful work. I am cutting and installing my plugs today. I set TDC on #1 cylinder when I installed my new timing chain aligning my timing marks to indicate that. Dropped in the new distributor, rotated my crank until the...

Restoring my 65 Barracuda.....Need to fill the hole in the fender. Prefer the original, but not necessary, just want something that looks good, clean chrome. Boise Idaho area.

I just re-installed my 318, stock motor mounts and factory power steering box. The problem I'm having is twisting the drivers side manifold down into place. Do I need to raise the engine or disconnect the steering column from the PS pump? I can't find an opening big enough to accept the...

I am just about ready to install my 1967 318LA mated to the 904 transmission. I have the torque converter sitting ready to be installed, then mount the flex plate....Right sequence? How much trans fluid should I put into my TC when I install it? I should probably install the starter before I...

Hi guys, I am ready to re-install my 318 LA engine into my 65 Barracuda. Here is an image of the block stamping. When I took apart my engine and ran the numbers, the engine was re-built using 273 heads and stock intake. Since I am using a new Edelbrock Performer intake, I sought out some new...

Hi Guys, Getting close on my 65 Barracuda....I purchased a engine side wiring harness from Classic industries that is built for an electronic ignition swap. Using the Mancini Racing electronic ignition and orange box kit. Electronic Distributor Conversion Kit That kit comes with the wiring...

Simple question for you guys I'm sure. I have the engine out of my car and about to re-install into my 65 Barracuda. I removed the rope style rear main seals and replaced them with new fel-pro seals...rubber. The top seals have these rubber "wings" that hang out into the area where I am...

Hi guys, I have been fighting my 318 LA engine for my 65 Barracuda all morning trying to remove the lower section of the rear main seal. I have tried tapping it through with a screwdriver, no good. Finally loosened the crank bolts to try and give the seal some room to come out. Still no good...

I am restoring my 65 Barracuda. I need the original factory radio and faceplate...working or not. Thanks!

What is the small box that snaps into a clip that sits above the ashtray under the dash? Flasher relay? Should it be replaced? Thanks Guys

I received a brand new underdash wiring harness from Classic Ind. I got the model for electronic ignition rather than stock. I don't want to put new wire into old switches, so I want to replace the headlight switch and wiper switch. First, I can't find a replacement for the wiper switch from...

I took out my stock harness and have painstakingly been comparing side by side with a new Classic Industries front engine forward harness meant to be used with an upgraded electronic ignition. I purchased a new starter relay and voltage regulator (not used I have determined...right?) Things are...

I fought my steering pot coupler tabs for way too many hours on my 65' Barracuda. Finally got those damn tabs pinched down. I know a lot of guys use the clip that fits over the later model couplers. I did locate an alternative that might work for someone else. Robber boot fits over the whole...

I have spent most of the day fighting those d@#% retainer tabs that hold the rubber boot to the steering coupler. I would be happy to use the large clip that goes over the top of the coupler, but because it is an early A.....It looks like the housing is shorter and those readily available clips...

Hi guys, Just got my power steering box back from Firm Feel. Taken apart my steering coupler, cleaned up and ready to put in my rebuild kit. I am re-using my old, fold over top piece because it is more sturdy and has a bit longer tangs than the replacement part. Also pictured is a new milled...

Rebuilding my 7 1/4" rear end in my 65 Cuda. New seals, new bearings, wheel cylinders, New leaf springs from Espo, Bilstein shocks, new brake lines and T valve....Here is the question.... Pre bent lines have a longer sleeve with a regular metal fitting and also a shorter sleeved brass fitting...

Replacing the oil seals in my 65 Barracuda. After a lot of effort, I was able to extract an intact seal along with a mangled one from the other side. Manufacturer is Trostel 63 CD P2. This seal looks nothing like the oil seal I picked up from Napa (pictured in the middle). Obviously the...

Hi Guys I am restoring my 65 Barracuda. I dropped the 7.25 rear end out of the car. I know that lots of guys here think they are junk, but I own it..... along with 5x4 wheels. I have ordered new leaf springs and Bilstein shocks. My plan is to clean things up, seal things up, rebuild the rear...

I was sawzall-ing my exhaust from the underside of my 65 barracuda. This is why: I broke through the exhaust pipe and the blade lunged forward and just pierced my gas tank. There is a nice steady little stream of gas that I am catching until it runs out. How do I repair that spot without...

I have been plugging away at my 65 Cuda for a bit. First rebuilt the front suspension with a kit from PST.....Dirty, hard work, but necessary and it looks good. Just jacked up the rear end to evaluate...aside from being a little dirty, everything looks great including the rear brake (pads)...

I have been very careful as I broke down and began to build up my stock(ish) 318 LA motor for my 65 Barracuda. All of my engine parts have been painted and mating surfaces cleaned, new FelPro gasket set standing by. I installed a double roller timing chain, found top dead center, lined up my...

I am beginning re-assembly of my 318 LA motor. The fel-pro gasket set has what appears to be 2 sets of oil pan to timing cover gaskets....I assume one for the older and another for the newer 318's. I cant find a video describing installation of the older style front and rear gaskets. Do I...

I have taken out my power steering box on my 65 Cuda to be sent to Firm Feel for refurbishing...While the box is off, I want to clean up the broken up boot coupler that mates the box to the steering column. I can't really tell how to remove and re-install the boot. Also having trouble finding...
