Another one that will not die. You get a free DVD with purchase!
I am not so much into tattoos as well but that is just a hilarious photo chop that was done.
A mopar is a friend, glad you are taking care of one again
Ever get the carb number Dave?
If you use car wax on the outside of the windows, rain beads off better...
Also any stickers won't stick to it...
They used to put stickers on cars at our high school that didn't have a parking permit, then the dean would stand at the exit every day and watch everyone leave... If you had a sticker on your car, he would pull you over and have you see him the next morning for discipline (detention)... We refused to sign the permit application giving them authority to search our cars at their whim, so we just drove to school without a permit.
I kept a widget in my car (68 Barracuda with shelf dashboard), and would scrape the sticker off the window every day before leaving...
Then we started working at the 10 min oil change and noticed that the door stickers would not stick if the customer had waxed the door jams... So we started waxing our windows, and the stickers peeled right off...
One time, I didn't have time to scrape the sticker off and he called me "Butch" and told me to see him the next morning. I told my brother (Butch) that he thought that I was him, so my brother told me to blow it off (he was already out of school).... The dean never caught me for that....
Man it is almost 100% humidity here right now!
It's almost decent here today... Not cool, but not humid...
Dont you just love the shelf dashboard in 68 A- body cars.
Some pictures of last night's work on the 318 for the Challenger:
Right bank:
Left bank:
Cam dialed in:
Piston-to-valve clearance:
Exhaust:
Intake:
We have the cam in and it's in the position that we want it, we are good with P-V clearance: Int = .098", Exh = .188"
Compression = 8.33
According to the dyno prediction it should make 380 ft *lb of torque at 3500 and 335 HP at 5500...

Hell yeah, it's like a junk drawer for me.... I had lots of junk up there...
Whats the broken piece Karl?
Never mind just figured it out.
Are you talking the green stuff???
That's the clay that I put on the piston to check piston to valve clearance. I cut it down the center of the smallest point and measure it with calipers... That's where I sliced it and measured it...
Took a minute. One of those days.
I figured out yesterday the alt was fried from the fire. Think the reg is also. What *** pain this is turning into. Glad I had one of the old full fielding tools still. Knew I kept that for something!
How do you feel about the rectum as a whole???

hahahaha you know you'd want her
I wish the 68 B-body would have had something similar but I guess that is why A bodies are so magical
Tike gave me a shelf in the truck that mounts in the visor holes. That is always full, love it.
Where is Mitch? He ok? Have not seen him on here for a bit.
One of the reasons that 68 is my favorite year for the Barracuda...
And it was the first year of the 340...
Fried alternator... What sauce goes with that???

Thanks Ray for showing me the bottle so I got the right stuff. I ordered some.
68 ....First year the A body car was refined and shed the early A feel.
I have a 67 barracuda and I do like it but too many throwbacks to the early stuff.
Such as bulky and uncalled for spring loaded glove box hinges amongst other things
