Hi Folks, We have a '65 Barracuda that has the front tires wearing badly in the inside. Not sure, but I may have to replace some front end parts as this car has been neglected for many years. So I am wandering which parts are likely to be worn to give this kind of tire wear on the inside of...

I finally found a more complete answer about how to remove the headlight stem removal, so the headlight switch can be removed. (The info came from another forum.) The tip I got worked perfectly the first time with no jerking pulling or beating my head against the ground. It is so simple it...

RedFish, I am a bit dense this morning. I get the one with the snubber that rubs on the coil, but I don't understand where the other terminal is. Rick

Someone I read mentioned bypassing the dimmer rheostat in the headlight switch. Do any of you know which terminals to connect to to that? Thanks, Rick

I am trying to remove my headlight switch on a 1965 Barracuda. I see there is a push button on the top of the switch that should release the stem and knob. But I have been pushing that button like crazy while pulling on the knob, and it won't release. So, is there more to it, or tricks I could...

Ok, thanks Lilnoah. I will check that out. Rick

I am working on a 1965 Barracuda. Only one dash light is working and it is not consistant. It is pretty hard to get behind the cluster and see what is going on. How many bulbs should there be for the gauge cluster? What is the best way to get to them for replacement. Secondly, the...

I am looking for the park cable housing parts at the rear of a 904 trans to fit a 1965 barracuda. Mostly I need the spring that attaches to the park cable, inside the housing at the rear (Yes, I stretched it out removing the housing before disconnecting the cable) Dang! Could also use: the...

I am working on a 1965 Barracuda with a 904 torque flight, stock floor console shift. The problem is: With the car parked, I start it up and move the shifter out of park and into drive. Sometimes it feels like the park pawl does not pull far enough out, so it is bearly stuck in park but also...

Fishy68, thanks for your input. All sounds like good diagnostics. I am sure it is not the brakes dragging. Once I move the shifter back and forth a time or two, it will go into gear correctly and in neutral I can push it easily and it is as free as it can be. I have one more idea about not...

Hi Folks, I am working on a 1965 Barracuda. I would like to move the brake light circuit to a circuit that is only hot when the switch is on. So, my question is, how is the best way and or easiest way to do that. Thanks as always, Rick

AJ/FormS/ Great stuff and thanks for the ideas. But let me clear up a bit. I didn't mention that it was shuddering in 3rd. In fact, 3rd is probably the best. So, if it is not shuddering or slipping in 3rd, does that change your ideas about the high drum? Another thing happened today that...

All good points Kim. I have checked the fluid in neutral with the trans warmed up and running. The engine coolant part of the rad seems clear and working fine. I really don't know about the trans cooler portion. The problems occur when cold or warmed up. Wrong filter??? possible, I can look into...

Hi folks, I am working on a 1965 Barracuda with a 273 engine and a 904 trans, all basically stock. I have posted other questions about this car and received great help from this forum. One thing is the car was missing some of the throttle pressure linkage. I was able to find some linkage...
