Normally the P273 would reference the model year IE A273=1965 B273=1966 C273=1967 and the other number 4-27 the date the engine was assembled. Now unless the P is actually a B I cannot comment. As for the 2250? no idea. Alan

Lock, latch, catch, pull, lever... call it what you want. As for the hood, I guess I should have been specific, yes just the inner panel would have the access hole for the light on the 68 hoods. 1967 1968+ Alan

I cannot say I'm an expert but every 68 that I looked at for this had the holes even without the lights, I do not see them having two different hoods for this. The 67s angle up then back, 68 and later straight back. Alan

In the cars defense... The hood is a 67, 68s had holes for the hood mounted turn lights. You can see the vin tag on the a pilar The car has the 67 only vent window locks. Radio with knobs. When the 68s came out my grandfather thought about adding the round marker lights. Good car as-is...

Not on mine, (hood was just cleaned here) Alan

Here are pictures of my 67 Barracudas original blackout. It was sprayed from under the car with no masking. Alan

This is something that may have varied from year to year. Here are some NOS ones 2862364 1968 Valiant Phosphate and yellow zinc with a natural rivet 299074 1969 Satellite All Phosphate with a natural rivet 2765531 1966 Charger Phosphate and yellow zinc with a natural rivet 3739874 1972...

For the most part this brings me up to current, this weekend I'll start on the disassembly to pull the engine. Once the engine (and everything else) is removed I'm going to have the engine compartment repainted. As I'm putting a new k-member in the install will be bottoms up. Alan

No, you never know when you may need a spare. It is hard to say when or if these will ever be reproduced. I saw this coming from over four cars, I thought it was coming through the glass. Not little gravel, just glad it didn't hit paint. Alan

Once again back to the engine. By now I have all the parts back from the machine shop and have acquired everything else that I should need. Overall the build went smooth. It is for the most part a stock build, not going to cover in detail. First up was to clean all the oil passages with long...

On the way home from Oregon the car got hit with a pretty good size rock, I have a new windshield, still need to have it installed. Northern California, Avenue of the Giants Alan

Back in Oregon on its second trip. Alan

I've had the car at a few Cars and Coffee, this was the first one my friend had his 68 there. The 68 is a 340 4-speed survivor, original paint, original interior (original engine in storage). Alan

Next up was the Mopar Alley show in Cupertino. I met up with Max there with his fastback. At the show was a very nice (rare) 67 383 GTS convertible. Alan

On the way home from Oregon on another trip i stopped by Accurate and picked up a complete exhaust system (the two larger boxes are for a friends C-Body). Further south I stopped at the friends place and picked up the free transmission. Alan

Back to the engine. One thing I knew would be difficult and expensive to locate was the left side exhaust heat shield. In my regular daily eBay searching a listing popped up for one, once I gave it a quick lookover to confirm it was a 340 piece I hit the $35 Buy-it-now (plus $85 shipping), in a...

Fall Fling (2022) was the first show for me, while over in the swap a friend asked if I saw the other 67 vert, I said I saw a white one drive in. Returning to the car I saw a nice copper one. Elsewhere I caught up with the white one. Alan

One of the top latches broke shortly after getting the car. Just a cosmetic element. Replacing it was not easy, limited access. Alan

The wheel covers are the same Bolt-on style as the fastback so I had a small inventory of them along with the ones from the car. Most of them the argent had faded so I felt now was a good time to freshen up a set. Very time consuming. Alan

A couple years ago I purchased this car from Max Heim ( @mvh ) Not even four week later I'm on the road to Oregon with the car, overall the car performed good, a little anemic on the hills. This car draws far more attention than my fastback, lots of waves and thumbs up, you can't get gas...

NOS Hood Latch (67 Barracuda) Alan

The hood safety catch was black phosphate, loop was body color, the spring was also phosphate the latch was something else. Alan

This thread has some good pictures. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/clean-underhood-pics-needed-for-1972-340-duster-demon.377547/ Alan

This is a 72 found on the internet Alan

Also the later valve covers had a different breather cap and separate oil cap. Alan

They are factory covers, are they correct for a 72 340? They look like my 67s, I thought the wire retainers changed in 69? Alan

My first Mopar was my 1967 Barracuda that my grandparents purchased new In 1969 me seen over the car Shortly after I got the car in 1985, baked in the California sun. It was garage kept when my grandparents had it but my grandfather worked so the car sat outside for 9 hours a day. Now Alan

My number one is a car I had since 1985, my grandparents purchased new. 1967 Barracuda 273-2 console automatic. Next up a 1969 Polara 500 HP400, acquired in 2020 (RARE). Then the 67 Barracuda convertible, /6 console automatic, acquired 2022. Alan

My cars a driven rain or shine, they are borderline daily drivers. I have taken them on multiple trips over 1000 miles one way. Alan

In todays world I can see it working that way but in the 60s I just don't. The IBM car would have an engine code as E86 which would be on the broadcast sheet as well but there are a bunch of other codes that it would have to know go along with it. The E86 in on car (lets say a 1969 Dodge Polara...
