So, I remove my Quickfuel 880cfm and Mopar electronic distributor and coil from my 69 Barracuda with mild 440 and install the Sniper 4140 EFI and Hyperspark Ignition (Distributor, Coil, Ignition Box, harness) system. Of course, there is no easy switched power so run the pink wire through the...

Hello. Running original wiring in restored 69 Cuda. Have the usual issues as with any other Mopar I've owned ie: dim lights, slow signal lights with headlights on, voltage shows low at idle, etc, etc. But.....the other day out for a cruise and all of a sudden my voltage gauge tach's hard to the...

Hello All. I bought the Quickfuel SS-880-VS to replace the Holley 770 and put it on my bored 30 over 440 with Eddy dual plane, headers, stock heads, RV purple cam, not sure of lift/duration but its not overly aggressive. Fuel/Air at 11, initial timing at 16 deg. 5-6 psi fuel pressure. 3.73 gears...

I have searched many posts on the site and there is great information in regards to what people are using for rads in what body, with what engines. I am looking for ideas of what you are running for a radiator in your A-body with a 383/440 or 426 with an opening of 17"H x 22"W. My current...

I have searched high and low as I know I saw a thread on this somewhere, but will be damned if I can find it when I need it. The thread stating that this wire may be on the wrong post. When I saw it I ran out to the ol' garage to check mine (69 Barracuda) as I had the cluster out, and sure...

Wondering if anyone can help me with a size of tach to order from Autometer or VDO, etc. to fit in the stock opening of my 1969 Barracuda instrument cluster. I took out the glass face to measure the opening and it is currently 2 5/8", but i can open it to 2 7/8" pretty easilly. I cant open it...

I removed my axle shafts to swap to new 4.5 axles from the 4.0 bolt pattern. When i pulled out the axles from my current 3.23 gear,8.75 diff,489 case, the ends of the axles are a little rough. By a little rough, I mean the spline on the axle ends look like there was something in the splines or...

Is there a way, if fabricating skills were not an option, but money is (so not a $4 grand Keisler or etc.), to put a 4 speed automatic transmission behind a 383 and/or 440 in an A-body car?

I pulled my Eddy RPM intake off, used Edelbrock glue to seal a couple of very thin tin (eavetrough tin) pieces to block the heat riser ports off on both sides. Works great as the engine bay is much cooler, no cooked paint on the block or clearcoat on the intake. However, power is down a bit and...

Looking for a 8 1/4 Sure Grip for a 74 Dart Swinger. The one currently is a 8 1/4 with 2.73's and a one wheel burner. The 383 needs a posi and something around that 3.23 or 3.55 range. I heard that the Dakota's run the 8 1/4's. Did any of them come with Sure Grips? Any with mid range gearing...

Wanting to change out the stock heads to RPM's in a 440 and 383 currently with the Schumacher headers. With the spark plug holes angled on the Edelbrock RPM heads, will the Shumachers still work? Maybe even better, adding more plug to header clearance? Or would that be wishful thinking...

I loosened and lifted slightly my EB RPM intake and slid in some tin flashing pieces to block off the heat cross overs on either side. I put a very thin coat of high heat silicone on prior to sliding them in, but you know how that went........most piled up on the outside of the intake. I re...

Hoping someone can help and did my best to search through some great threads but couldnt find the question i have here. I am going to the electronic voltage regulator over the mechanical. From the pics you see here, i have two blue (one with white) wires going into the ignition side of the mech...

I ordered a WS303 from Year One stating "Rear window gasket for 1968-1969 Barracuda notchback models". When the glass guy comes over to install it, it wont fit. It wouldnt fit in the openeing and when he tried it on the glass, it was too tight on the top and too long on the bottom. The glass...

Has anyone out there put a Shaker system on thier A-body? I would really like to install one on my 69 Barracuda 440 but have had no luck finding one from a supplier. Any ideas where to get one without paying more than the car is worth? How did the installation go? Got any pictures?

Has anyone used the Shift R Gate from Duncan Motorsports with a stock/original Hurst Pistol Grip and arm? I think unless you buy Duncan Motorsports Shift R Arm ($150) and thier Grip ($95), it will take some work to modify a stock/original Pistol Grip shifter arm to work. I have the stock Pistol...

I know this "subframe connector" discussion has been tossed around on many threads, and there are great pictures, drawing and ideas of what to use. Does anyone have examples that they could share, with pictures, sketches, how-to's for home built, e-brake cable friendly, practical, no floor...

Im running a 440 in a 69 Barracuda and have the Schumacher Tri-Y's. I am in the build stage and had the engine in to break in and then took it back out for paint. I bought the chrome option which looked great for 20 minutes of running and now of course discoloured. I am putting the engine in for...

I just fired up my 440 for the first time since the rebuild. Break in went great but the dash gauge in my 69 Barracuda slowly climbs to 3/4, so showing very hot. I stuck a thermometer in the rad and coolent looks to be circulating at around 170-175 with 180 thermostat. During the build I put in...

I installed my electric pump (Holley Red) with a filter between it and the tank, then 3/8 line to the carb with another filter in between. I cant get the pump to draw from the tank of my 69 Barracuda. Thought it might be the pump but it will suck fine from a jerry can, so i know its not the...

A friend of mine is building a 74 Dart Swinger with a 1969 383, Edelbrock performer, headers, 727, 8 1/4 (323's). Engine is stock but hopes for a mid radical cam, 30 over, maybe aluminum heads down the road. He wants a Holley but is unsure of how big. Some have told him 750, some say 670 street...

I did the recommended (Mopar Muscle Magazine & A-Bodies Forum members)- 69 Barracuda rear axle up on jacks, slid the shaft in until it bottomed out on 727, pulled out 1.5 inches then measured from centre yolk to centre yolk on 8 3/4. I came up with a measurement of 44 inches. But, when i took...

Couple questions hoping to get answers to. I have done the standard swap from drums to disc on the front and 8 3/4 out back. I notice in the service manual a metering valve in conjuction with the t-splitter on the rear end and proportioning valve up front. Do I need this metering valve? Will...

I have swapped to disc brakes in my 69 Barracuda. All is installed and when I bolted the new 4.5" bolt pattern wheel on, it sits offset, too far forward, very visible and rubs the front of the fender when turning. Could I have the the upper a arms on the wrong sides? Will a front end...

Hello All. I rebuilt my 69 440 with a felpro gasket set including shiny new tin intake base pan. I open the box of my new Edelbrock RPM intake and see 4 gaskets that come with. Do these go above and below the tin intake base pan? or do they even get used at all? It has been a long time since i...

I have searched many threads for answers to this question. I am in the process of swapping 74 dart front disc's to my 69 Barracuda. I will have when complete, 4.5"x5 bolt pattern on the front and the 4.0"x5 bolt pattern on my rear 8 3/4. My question is, can front rotors be purchased with the...

I have searched for info in many threads but come up empty. I have a 69 barracuda with 440 and power steering. Was a 318 so i'm using the Schumacher SB to RB kit. They have headers of thier own but seem a tad pricey. I have read, i believe in Mopar Muscle, that the Hedman shorty PN 780070 will...

I'm looking for information on jig alignment holes for a 74 Dart Swinger for a friend. He is grafting the rear section of a donor 74 dart to his 74 Dartswinger and needs the technical specs or measurements to get the new half of the car up into place and aligned correctly before he starts...
