    Key issues with my newly acquired 69 Barracuda

    Replaced the switch and cyclinder with a 1968 model. Fit in just fun and started on first turn of the key. This one is done! Thanks for all the info

    Key issues with my newly acquired 69 Barracuda

    Ordered a new cylinder and got the other one out. As soon as I got it out it turned free... its the ignition switch that is broken. So now that is on the way.

    Key issues with my newly acquired 69 Barracuda

    So rather than just talking about it I figured I'd take out the ignition switch and assess. That looks maybe a B-body ignition? The big nut was acting as a spacer to hold it in place. Do I grind out the button on the cylinder and just replace that? Or do I replace the whole thing with maybe...

    Key issues with my newly acquired 69 Barracuda

    Having never taken out an ignition switch before I ventured out to the Utubes. It would seem that if I can get the ignition switch out, there won't be any way to remove they cylinder since the key won't turn. I'd have to dremel/grind out the pin to remove the cylinder and replace it. Assuming...

    Leaf springs flat - 69 Barracuda

    It had been in SC for 5 years. Not sure where it originally came from. If you think you know the previous owner I'd like to connect with him.

    Key issues with my newly acquired 69 Barracuda

    So when I picked the car up I was given 3 keys, ignition, doors and trunk. So I'm wondering if I take the whole thing out can I just replace all the lock cylinders with this? https://www.classicindustries.com/p...2cKyhiL_0QESl_Tk2_UaAp9MEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Of course if I had ordered it...

    Leaf springs flat - 69 Barracuda

    Just purchased this car, the leaf springs are flat. Originally a slant 6 car now with a 318. Won't ever see the track but I do like my 0-60 getting on the highway. What should I do with the leaf springs? Looking it up I saw that HD springs would be on small block Formula S cars. What should...

    Key issues with my newly acquired 69 Barracuda

    I didn't notice any issues turning the key beforehand, but I only turned the key probably 4 times before it got stuck. Now the key won't come out and it won't turn at all. It was working fine, but as I was trying to start it to drive off the trailer the battery died. I went to get a jump...

    New A-body owner!

    I just purchased a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda! I'm not really familiar with A-bodies but this notchback was just right and I couldn't pass it up. I joined here as this seems like a really good place to tap knowledge as I get accustomed to the nuances of these cars. Here's a couple pics before I...
