    brake light out- turn signal switch?

    Hi guys, decided to finally fix the brake light issue on my 68 Barracuda. All of the exterior lights work except for the driver side brake light and the rear flashers.

    Well.. that wasn’t the ride I was expecting.

    So after having driven the cuda on a 1700 mike round trip to Tucson Arizona for the Roadkill Ziptie drags, I let it sit for several weeks since the heater isn’t working and I don’t have carpet yet so the open trans tunnel makes for a breezy ride. So the other week my buddy wanted to Cruise it on...

I want an in-line pump so I don’t have to remove the fuel tank. I think the throttle body has an integral fuel pressure regulator? So then what all would I...

    Just picked up an aluminum 26" radiator yesterday and it came with a fitting for a temp probe near the top Hose.

    Hey everyone, my battery died over the weekend on my 68 barracuda fastback a few weeks ago so I tried pulling fuses to see whats goin on.

    No dash lights. Fuse box?

    So started really digging into my 68 barracuda fastback that I bought almost 6 months ago. The guys before me added a tach and water temp gauge but left them dangling by their wires on the floor.

    Hey all! I found a set of 76 360 heads. Casting is 3769974 for 250 obo. Cylinder 2 on my 318 has no compression so I'm hoping it's a stuck valve.
