Went for a road trip in my 1968 barracuda, and the car drove well except for situations where I hammer it. It's always had a bit of a hesitation problem that's been easy to get around, and don't know if this is related. When I floor it the engine was run poorly (slight sputter) for a few seconds...

I'm having issues with my stock temperature and oil gauges underreporting in my 1968 Barracuda. They appear to report about half of the values that I'd expect. I paid good money to have all of the gauges refurbished and they still do it. Could something outside of the gauges be causing this...

The original gauge lenses are scratched up, stained, and one of the decorative center pieces was broken off and lost before I got it. I got replacements, but need to figure out how to best remove the originals without damaging anything. I recall finding a guide somewhere but can't remember where...

I've got an electrical issue with my 1968 Barracuda. The Ammeter will drop, wave for a second, then return to normal and it does this cyclically. There is an audible click every time it drops and every time it resets. Headlights dim with the waving. It does this whenever the ignition is on or on...

I recently did reworking of the gauge cluster to replace lights in my 1968 Barracuda, and replace both of the circuit boards with ones from Classic Industries. Everything worked fine for a while after, until the temperature, oil pressure, and fuel gauges started going strait to max travel with...

I took my 68 318 Barracuda to a local shop for some suspension work, and they ended found excessive play in the pitman arm, so they recommended replacing the steering gear. They then found insufficient output in the factory Federal steering pump, and replaced it with a Saginaw, which they had to...

Where can I find the mounting inserts that fit in to the slots in the below photos? I'm swapping a radiator with a more OEM radiator that has a different bolt pattern. It looks like one of the mounting inserts is missing, though.

I noticed I am missing the timing mark tab on my 68 318 Barracuda. This is a problem as I will need to set timing. I paid good money to have the timing set by a garage a couple years ago and now I'm wondering if they even could have without that tab there. A quick search on the usual parts sites...

I removed the heads from my 1968 318 Barracuda to take them to the shop and when I removed the heads a LOT of coolant spilled out, even though I let the radiator drain down completely. I can also see sitting coolant in the passages in the block. Is this normal? What is causing this? This made a...

I'm in the process of giving my barracuda a valve job, removing the heads and cleaning everything. I verified it has a sticking valve with a piece of paper getting sucked to the exhaust test. The engine was ran with a badly rusted gas tank and red particulate for a while which I blame for bad...

Anyone know where I can get the mounting retaining rings that hold the headlamps? Mine are pretty badly corroded to where they flex easily and the retaining bracket and screws are rusted tight. *Added* I probably should have mentioned it's a 68 Barracuda, in case that matters. I would guess all...

Anyone know where I can get the mounting retaining rings that hold the headlamps? Mine are pretty badly corroded to where they flex easily and the retaining bracket and screws are rusted tight.

How are the wires routed on the hood? Previous owner zip tied the wire to the hood frame and I'd like to route it better. Could you provide photos of how your 2nd gen Barracuda hood lights wires are routed along the hood back to the connection by the firewall?

I need an idle return spring for a 1968 Barracuda with the Carter BBD 2 bbl on a 318 V8. Any recommendations on where to get one? I had been using an off the shelf universal spring but it's loosened enough to where it won't fully shut the throttle when I gently take my foot off the gas and...

Today I got done cleaning out the stock 318 carb and replacing the gaskets with a rebuild kit. Put things back together and the engine will turn over but immediately die. If I feather the throttle it'll hold about 1200 rpm and sound fine. I've been messing with the idle mixture screws without...

The trunk key latch on my 68 Barracuda convertible just stopped working. This means i can't get into the trunk. Any tips on getting the trunk open? I tried pulling the seat but I can't reach back there or see much.

The driver's side door window trim/seal in my 1968 Barracuda keeps slipping off. This may be a dumb or basic question but what glue should I use secure it? I've had bad luck with adhesives in the past and don't want to screw it up.

None of the lights on the left side of the dash in my 1968 Barracuda work. I'd like to check on this bulkhead disconnect(?) in the wiring diagram boxed in red below but I don't know where it is. Anyone able to help? Will I have to tear apart the dash to access it?

The spring that holds the headlight on my 1968 Barracuda rusted out and broke while working on it. Do you have a replacement OR do you know where I can buy one?

So, I have a long list of things to do on this car, but up front is fixing/upgrading the engine cooling system as it runs really hot. I just ordered a reproduction fan shroud thinking it would just bolt on. After doing an image search online of engine bays for other barracudas, the radiator...

Howdy! I've referenced the site for years but now have a purpose to join. I've recently acquired a 1968 Barracuda convertible through family. I really liked this car as a kid spending summers in the late 90s with my grandparents in New Orleans. Unfortunately my grandfather passed away in...
