Too old to do donuts....except eating them!

Date code is ...3708 Only using them for short trips up and down our main street with 40 MPH speed limit. Some steep driveway to street bumps, with no rubbing. Wish Cooper made a smaller GT Radial.

Same problem here, and use a rag too. Additional problem was I was doing some touchup painting myself. And, after discolorating began on the fender below the gas cap area, I had to repaint. **This time I used a 2-part clearcoat that resists gasoline. (Not a one phase paint) There are several...

Be very precise and careul in measuring/calculating here! I sort of rushed my decision on moving my 67 Barracuda from 15s to 14s, and wanted the raised white Letter Cooper GTs. The problem was, I was going from a 60 sidewall, to a slightly wider tire which only came in 70 sidewall. I got some...

No date code available.

I had previously posted about the several problems going from 15 to 14 inch wheels on my Notchback. Besides the brake caliper issues that got resolved once we identified my spindles as Volare spindles; I had been getting some tire rub on my front fender edges when I turned and went over bumps...

As I said, eventually the switch wouldn't even make the clicking sound when depressed. So was internal in the switch; not contacts. Not wort "investigating" where it went bad, as new one was just $10. My personal time is worth more than the switch was.

HEADLIGHTS SOLVED!!! I already had new dimmer switch and headlight switch in hand. But.......The dimmer switch stopped even making the clicking sound when depressed. SO! IT WAS THE BAD DIMMER SWITCH! Problem solved! Let there be light! :thumbsup:

BINGO! Turns out the headlight problem was the floor dimmer switch. It had been clicking; but eventually stopped even clicking. Replaced the dimmer switch and the headlight now work fine!

Yup! There was one similar on the driver's side too.

Thanks Al! I've already done that one. I was afraid it was buried deeper behind the headlight cup.

Ok. So I'm done resfreshing most all the grounds up front on the Barracuda. And this afternoon I found the loose connector on my PT Cruiser resposible for my turn signal and side amrkers not working on the passenger side. Feeling frisky! So, NOW on to the real detective work looking for the...

I've got a golf buddy that I swear uses Stevie Wonder as a caddy to line up his putts! That bad! :lol:

Just spent a little time refreshing all the ground wires up front this evening. I'll need daylight to tackle the switch.

More like a Monkey!

Now THIS FACT was never mentioned about removing the stem! Thanks!

Disregarding! :lol: Yup! Seems so simple doesn't it? But never could get it to release; even after spraying some lube.

All other powered areas work!

Have had no electrical problems for a year now with the 67 Barrcuda. When I had the dash apart to replace the dash bezels , I did attempt to put in a new headlight switch. **But, after several hours trying, I never could get the stem to come out. So, I just put the old switch back in. (It...

Keep me appraised! I will them until then.

Sure enough. When would that be?

I just put the new door sills on my Notchback. I really don't like hoarding old parts. So, I've got these old door sills in "FAIR" shape for anyone needing them for their day driver, resurrection, or roller. FREE! Just pay shipping from OKCity.

Actually, O'Reilly's says that the NMC22774 is the one to fit the 67 Barracuda.

Yup! Mine's not an original restoration anyway. So, I was wondering about other aftermarket replacements. Thx

Yes I would be interested. Is it just old, or reman? Regardless of some opinions, the service manual and MOPAR specs note that the larger reservoir is needed for front disc brakes. That would be the explanation for concerning "travel", despite a 4 piston upgrade. We can finish any discussion by...

Yes! As I am mechanically challenged, I don't know if the size of the brake push rod translates into a problem for upgrading the MC. Is it a one size fits all rod? Does it take a different size MC piston seal. Just clueless about potential complications.

So, is there any concern about my current drum brake MC and the piston rod size for upgrade to disc MC???

Previous owner left the drum brake only MC on my 67 Barracuda that he converted to front disc brakes. So when I replaced the from discs with Willwoods, I get no difference in travel. NEED: MC part number 280 8600; casting number 222 5541 for disc brakes.

Thanks! Corrected! For me, that article was the most informative! http://www.moparts.org/Tech/MoparAction/Master_Cylinder.pdf

Yes! Expected a little more of both; stopping power and pedal resistance. But,if you look at my original post, you see that the previous owner left the drum brake MC on the car, even after he put discs on the front. I'm a pretty careful driver with the Barracuda, so it's just fine for now...
