Yep!...Thanks!

Applied Permatex to 2 intake manifold bolts and the puddling has stopped...THANKS!

This is my PCV. Replaced once in last 5k miles. I used the original as reference for a replacement. If wrong, which type / part# are you saying should be on my 273 Commando?

Weird is I don't see any drips or ruins from intake bolt to puddle. Intake bolt is tight. I guess drops of oil can for at top of bolt when driving and splash out forming a puddle. I will inspect PCV. Correct me if I am wrong but good sign of a working PCV is it "rattles" when shaken?

66 Cuda 273 Commando Holley 600cfm mechanical double pumper & Edelbrock Performer Intake. Setup is 20yrs old. Carb rebuilt about 10yrs ago. Been having this issue for awhile. Usually only appeared after car sat for awhile in colder months. Attributed it to probably gas that leaked and...

65 66 67 are the same. Difference is if you have a CA car it had the Clean Air Package C.A.P. then it had an 2" nipple protruding . See below thread I posted in 2014 Differences between 273 Commando Silenced Air Cleaners?

Thanks again !!!

Much appreciated...anyone got part numbers and approx. weight for shipping?

A friend is needs a 273 Commando 4bbl cast iron intake for his '67 Barracuda. Correct me if I'm wrong but a '65 and '66 Comm. Intake will interchange but are they the same part numbers? If not what are the part numbers for each year, specifically 1967?

I know the distributor does not affect oil pressure...I just edited my post to avoid anymore confusion. I'll look into the spring kit as the new distributor is around 200.00...Thanks

273 Commandos - What's your oil pressure reading @ idle, cruising & WOT? Is worth swapping to MOPAR hipo distributor vs. stock elctronic distributor ? 1.) I know it will vary depending on type of oil and mods so state what you've done to your 273 and what's the oil press. # Currently mine is...

I had a similar problem a few years back but my car was stalling out while cruising at a steady speed and wouldn't restart for a 30mins. or so. Turned out to be the fuel pump and needle & seat were sticking. Next time you stall, tap down hard on the needle/seat area and then try restarting her.

Your running 2.97's @ max hp is @ 5400rpm....If my logic is right. If you had 4.10's you would be shifting @ around 4600rpms. Like the rest have said to much intake. Maybe try a gear higher than 2.97 and bump up your max rpm to 6000rpm+. ...my .02

I've been told that a Harmonic Balancer for 1966 273 Commando is not the same for later, '67 & up 273's. I was told that the numbers are read from the passenger side but as seen in the photo my timing numbers are facing the driver side. The harmonic balancer itself is located more to the...

Built mine up a bit cause I wanted to perserve an original look. Its a matter of preference and how fast do you want to go and how much $$$ you got to spend. My 273 is est. 285hp+ with 4.10 rear...somewhere in the high 13.'s if you can race a 4 speed properly...more like 15.'s with me banging...

Anyone know where even to find a new one for the '66 COmmando 273? I'm striking out!

Need to get a new harmonic balancer dampner for '66 Barracuda 273 Commando - mild build up, about 285hp. She's a cruiser and occaisional 6000rpm shifting :D and I drive her about 500 - 700 miles a year...Any suggestions? I saw that Jegs & Summit have some inexpensive ones for around $70.00...

Well....over a phone call talking with my buddy I described the problem and he said it sounded like I was "starving for fuel" in my high rpm range". He told me to change the fuel filter. So I put a new one in and I regained my loss rpm & power. I revved her out to 6000rpms about 6-7 times...

Well I went out and played around lil' bit and realized that the electrical oil press. is way slower to react then a mechanical gauge....I revved her up to 3000, 4000 & 5000rpm and the gauge slowly reacted and gave the appropiate readings of 30, 40 & 50lbs. I guess I just forgot how quickly my...

Just wondering....last year I installed an AutoMeter short sweep electrical oil press gauge and until today it always reads 38 - 40psi at idle or WOT even with me shifting over 5000rpm in 80+ degrees weather and when the weather is below 60 degrees she's a little higher at 43 ... Today during...

273 Commando engine - Holley 600 double pumper - HiPo cam, Edelbrock RPM intake - dual exhaust - port n polished heads Last year I rebuilt the front end of my carb in order to cure the engine stumbling/hesitation at WOT between 2000-3000 rpms. (relaced gaskets, pwoer valve, float &...
