    A/F/R gauge for tuning

    I bought an AEM gauge. It works pretty good. Good enough for the type of tuning that I do. (Street and occasional pass down the track) I have it rigged up temporarily with the long cable thru the vent window. I like being able to see how a metering rod change directly affects the afr. I’m...

    home ceramic coating headers ??

    I used cerakote on my doug's headers back in 2020. It was the first time I used a spray gun in my life. I followed CudaChick1968 advice from another thread from a few years ago. (I would look for it but I'm supposed to be "working"). I feel like the cerakote has held up pretty good. I don't...

    Early A front anti sway bar mount

    Layson's is the only place I have seen that carries the square bushings for the early A sway bar. Admittedly, I have not done an exhaustive search. I just did an easy search. The link might work. It might not. I just did this replacement on my 65 Barracuda so I will describe what I did...

    Need. Photo of 66 273 auto carb linkage

    I actually had this happen a few weeks ago. I floored the accelerator wide open on a two lane road and the kickdown popped off the transmission linkage and jammed against the header. It was jammed so tight the return spring couldn't pull it back. Fortunately, I had enough room and time to...

    Farmington NC dragway. Piedmont Mopars. Who's going ?

    I'm going. Mainly to look for parts. Always looking for 65 barracuda parts and sometimes the occasional oddball stuff that shows up. Last time I bought an oscillating westinghouse fan for no other reason than I thought It would look good in my man cave. It did not.

    Dual exhaust .... What are you running

    I just installed Doug's Headers w 2.5 inch pipes going to Cherry Bomb Salute mufflers on my 65 Barracuda. Then 2.25 pipes from the mufflers over the rear axle w regular downturns. While 2.5 inch pipes "fit" over the rear axle, they occasionally rubbed on something back there (on my car anyway)...

    Learned something new today

    years ago I put a generic radio shack speaker in that spot in my 65 (so I could use a reverb system that I found in a chrysler 300). I didn't even use a grill or do any cutting. It sounded fine.

    Hooker,doug's,TTI?

    I discovered today that the discount code applies to the ceramic headers. And today the black friday discount is 25%. I think it's BFSAVE25. The code is good until midnight (well. 1 second before midnight) tonight central time. This makes the ceramic coated headers $789 which is 1 more...

    Hooker,doug's,TTI?

    I tried ordering them with that promo code and I keep getting a message saying it cannot be applied. I have tried chatting with a customer service person and have sent 2 emails; I have yet to receive an answer that adequately explains why this code cannot be used. Especially if others are...

    Aluminum 4 BBL manifold for a 64 question.

    I found a D4b on ebay for the 273 in my 65 Barracuda. Just got it installed a few months ago. It went in fine. Seems to work good. Haven't had it on the strip yet to see if performs better than the factory single plane four barrel that I used to run. That being said, it is my understanding...

    gas pedal rod pops off

    I had the same problem at about 220,000 miles. I had to find a new screw on end with a more snug fitting hole for the ball. Of course this was 1989 and I had a parts car.

    some people...CG's

    I totally know what you mean. I used to be the same way. Then I moved. There is a severe shortage of car guys where I live now. Everyone I know drives a diesel jetta or a subaru of some type. Let's put it this way, when a guy with a triumph spitfire showed up and wanted to talk cars, I...

    What I did for my LEDS

    I was thinking of doing something similar on my 65. Thanks for showing me how easy it is. I do have one question. Why was it necessary to put the red lens from the LED assembly under the red lens of the tail light?

    Adding a leaf

    many moons ago I added a leaf to the rear of my 65. I used the same center bolt. There was barely enough room. It did sit up higher. I also rode like a water buffalo in heat. Bump steered like crazy. I took the leaf out and bought new springs.

    Scarebird disc conversion

    I did this conversion on my 65 Barracuda. My understanding is that you don't need a rear residual pressure valve if your rear wheel cylinders have the expander cups in them for this function (those cups have been common in rebuild kits since the 70s) I put a disc/drum mc on the car before I...

    Need a grill!

    I gotta tell you. I spent about 600 on my weber spirit. It's the smallest weber you can buy (around here anyway). It has plenty of grilling room and makes me look like a grilling genius. I am by no means an expert and there will be some on here who say that I wasted my money on the weber...

    signal light switch problem

    my oem switch does the same thing. I have just learned to make sure to wiggle the switch in the middle every time i make a turn. I've been doing this on my 65 barracuda for 15 years or so.

    Exhaust

    I am running the single hi-po system on my 65 Barracuda. I have the y pipe from accurate. I am very pleased with it. My buddy at the muffler shop did the rest of the system and I have an NOS resonator. Car sounds pretty good. I wish I had used a louder muffler than the magnaflow that's on...
