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...

Wow, thank you all for the help and the single/dual plane lesson. Ok, so I get what I need to do to fix this, but my head needs a bit more for understanding. Is the difference between the early and late intake manifolds just the angle of the bolt holes and 5/16 vs 3/8, or is the angle of...

Thanks to all for your input. None of the bolts are cross threaded or bottomed out. I put some new bolts in with my fingers, then snugged down with a wrench. I probably was unclear at some point, but I never considered changing the heads, but maybe the manifold. Here are my head and...

Hi folks, I am looking for a bit of help and confirmation. I am helping my daughter in law with a 1965 Barracuda that has been in her family many years, but parked for about the last five years. I don't have a lot of MoPar experience, but I have turned a lot of wrenches. After replacing...

I have checked items 1-6 and all is good, except I don't have a shroud at all. Also, I don't have a viscous fan. It is a six blade, but not a flex fan. Was there a shroud on these cars from the factory or are you talking about some add on? And the big question... where could I find one...

Hi Folks, Just wondering if anyone has found a late model car that uses an electric fan that works well on these A Body cars? 1965 Barracuda 273 with auto to be specific. Having overheating problems at low speeds. Or any other ideas... Thanks as always, Rick

Hi Folks, It looks like I am in need of some TPL linkage. The Barracuda I have been working on is missing the parts from the carb linkage to the bellcrank near the front of the trans. I took some pictures of the linkage setup I currently have, so... hoping some of you can help me with what...

Ok guys, here is an update on my woe's with the missing trans TPL: First of all, the fluid does still look the correct color of red and does not smell burnt. I did tie back the TPL at the trans and it did just as you described. Hard shift, but seemed to work ok. So, not it is tied back about...

Hey Fishy68, Yes you are right. I didn't post an answer for you. Your question is a good one, and yes, I am checking the trans oil in neutral, on level ground, and warmed up. It is pretty wild how much the level will raise after setting a few days, then checking it before start up. I...

Thanks again to all of you. Great picture KickDown. And, good information on how the linkage works TrailBeast. I will look the car over today and take a picture or two so maybe you all can help me figure out what I need to get this working right. Rick

Just to be clear, which way would be wired back? If it works better after wiring back, is it ok to leave it that way for a while and just drive it? On mine, there is a rod that comes from the trans to a pivoting linkage at the bottom of the firewall. Everything from that pivoting linkage...

Ok, I am am getting the message that I need to get the missing throttle pressure linkage. It looks like I have the lower part from the trans back up to a pivot near the bottom of the firewall. But, I am missing everything above that. So the big question, where can I get this stuff? I took a...

" My advice: don't build for a number. Build a car to do what you want it to do. Building for a number becomes a constant source of solving one problem and creating two more. " - Husky44 Sorry but I don't get it. What does this mean? Rick

Thanks KickDown. Sounds possible. Your username reminds me, we are missing the kick down linkage from the carb linkage. If anyone has what I need please let me know. Rick

1965 Barracuda, 273, 904 auto. Was parked for about 5 years and just got it running again. I think something feels funny with the trans: New trans oil and filter. When accelerating, especially when going from zero up to about 40mph, it feels like it shutters. The car shakes a bit, but if I let...

Did the carb rebuild. The timing is a good question. There is no timing pointer on this engine. I am not even sure whrer it should be. I have not turned the distributer at all. I need some help on getting a timing pointer. Rick
