Thanks 67Dart, When I get it apart I will inspect it closely as you suggest and re-check the bolt length. I am going to try and find someone who has the equipment to recover the freon so I can put it back in. It has a flat gasket, but I wonder if turning a groove in it for an o-ring would be...

Hello everyone, Does anyone have or know where I can find one of these fittings? (see pic #1) I am having trouble with this one leaking. I think its brass and it leaks dead center between the two mounting bolts. It seams that it is warping when the bolts are tightened and I was carefull not to...

Thanks Dana67, Thats exactly what my dip stick looks like except instead of leftover black paint I see a little blue. I am going to paint it black.

Thanks Professor fate, I shall paint it black.

Hi all, Does anyone know what the original color was of the dip stick handle for a 1967 barracuda 273 Commando with the 904 trans? I see a very small amount of blue on it now. Oh, and I guess I should ask about the engine dip stick color also.

There is no reducer in the crank. Looks like the crank is about 1/4 inch larger than the torque converter hub.

Thanks Rusty, thats kinda what I was thinking on compression or maybe a tad higher.

This is the coil bracket that was on the car when I took it apart. Does anyone know if it looks correct? It was mounted only using one of the two bolt holes. Its the LDB4 intake so maybe it takes a different bracket?

This is the distributor that was in the car. #3690430

Thank you Slantsix64, that one looks to be just a slight step up from the Comp 252H that Toolmanmike suggested. I will consider it :icon_fU:

Thanks Richard, I have been meaning to ask that question about the heat crossover port. Both carburetors I have are electric chokes and I was wondering if there was a way to block off that port. I will check the gasket set I have. The manifold butterfly works freely, in fact I was surprised how...

Thanks Aj. Yes, this is the wifes car. We attend car shows with my cars and the wife wanted a car of her own so she dosnt have to ride shotgun, so this car is for her. Will I drive it? Hell yes! I am asking these questions on here because of the points you just brought up. I do not want to hurt...

Thanks AJ, I agree with the puny manifolds, but at least it wouldnt be too hard down the road to put on headers and a real exhaust if I change my mind. It is interesting how heavy they were. Although mine does not have a folding rear seat or the huge rear glass.....Its a convertible:lol:

Thanks for the /6 story....good times! I kind have my heart set on keeping it looking stock looking down to the 273 commando valve covers, and the A/C is going back on the car. I agree with the 2.02s being overkill, but I am thinking 360 size valves. I also agree with your 9.5 compression mark...

Will do Mark, I am going to go by the machine shop to check because if there is one in it I dont want them to loose it and then tell me there was never one in it.

Thanks Furrystump, thats mighty kind of you! Since I already have my exhaust I think for now I will go in the direction I am going. Like you said now would be the time and it would look so much cooler but for now it will stay original,

The trans #s are 2801536y and 2517732. I believe its the original trans. Thanks for the manifold tips, I will check it out.

So the converters button is 1.55 inches and has the numbers 287 6 1 on the opposite side.

Thanks 66fs, I like all your ideas and I appreciate your input. Your right about the 3,23 gears. I found 2 build sheets in the car , one under the seat and one on top of the glove box and they said the car came with a 3.23 gear. I will have to research the best way when deleting the heat valve...

Hi Cudamark, Thanks for that info, I did not know about the converter and crank differences. I will check the converter when I get back home late tomorrow. The converter thats in it is painted blue. I rebuilt the trans and reused the converter because it seemed to work fine. The crank is at the...

I think your right Dartswinger70, I checked the bore and it is standard so I don't think the engine has ever been rebuilt. The original owner is still alive and I have been meaning to ask her where they got this 318.

I thought about modifying the rear valance for dual exhaust but because of the gas tank mounting on the 67 there is not much room on the passenger side.

Thanks Toolmanmike, I was looking at those exact pistons and was thinking on going .030 over which should clean it up. I saw an article where Steve Dulcich used those pistons at zero deck but with 58CC closed chamber heads and a .040 gasket for a ratio around 10:1. I will check out the 252H...

Would those manifolds bolt up to the Accurate exhaust that I have already purchased?

Hi everyone, I just pulled the 318 out of the car so i can paint the car including the engine bay. The engine ran ok so originally I was not planning on a complete rebuild but after doing a compression test (120 psi low to 170 psi high) and disassembling the engine I don't have a choice. There...

Very cool, Thanks QuickBpBp!

Hi Wils841, Thanks for your reply, I emptied out my inbox.

What happened to all the replies that I got? I cant see them anymore.

Hello, Looking for a chrome oil filler cap for the Commando optioned cars. (1967) Thanks

Hi everyone, I am looking for a chrome 273 Commando air cleaner with the CAP nipple. I just need the air cleaner top but if you have the larger base for the Carter or Edelbrock carb I will take that too. I also need the chrome oil filler cap. Thanks
