Thanks 67Dart, When I get it apart I will inspect it closely as you suggest and re-check the bolt length. I am going to try and find someone who has the equipment to recover the freon so I can put it back in. It has a flat gasket, but I wonder if turning a groove in it for an o-ring would be...

Hello everyone, Does anyone have or know where I can find one of these fittings? (see pic #1) I am having trouble with this one leaking. I think its brass and it leaks dead center between the two mounting bolts. It seams that it is warping when the bolts are tightened and I was carefull not to...

Thanks Dana67, Thats exactly what my dip stick looks like except instead of leftover black paint I see a little blue. I am going to paint it black.

Thanks Professor fate, I shall paint it black.

Hi all, Does anyone know what the original color was of the dip stick handle for a 1967 barracuda 273 Commando with the 904 trans? I see a very small amount of blue on it now. Oh, and I guess I should ask about the engine dip stick color also.

There is no reducer in the crank. Looks like the crank is about 1/4 inch larger than the torque converter hub.

Thanks Rusty, thats kinda what I was thinking on compression or maybe a tad higher.

This is the coil bracket that was on the car when I took it apart. Does anyone know if it looks correct? It was mounted only using one of the two bolt holes. Its the LDB4 intake so maybe it takes a different bracket?

This is the distributor that was in the car. #3690430

Thank you Slantsix64, that one looks to be just a slight step up from the Comp 252H that Toolmanmike suggested. I will consider it :icon_fU:

Thanks Richard, I have been meaning to ask that question about the heat crossover port. Both carburetors I have are electric chokes and I was wondering if there was a way to block off that port. I will check the gasket set I have. The manifold butterfly works freely, in fact I was surprised how...

Thanks Aj. Yes, this is the wifes car. We attend car shows with my cars and the wife wanted a car of her own so she dosnt have to ride shotgun, so this car is for her. Will I drive it? Hell yes! I am asking these questions on here because of the points you just brought up. I do not want to hurt...

Thanks AJ, I agree with the puny manifolds, but at least it wouldnt be too hard down the road to put on headers and a real exhaust if I change my mind. It is interesting how heavy they were. Although mine does not have a folding rear seat or the huge rear glass.....Its a convertible:lol:

Thanks for the /6 story....good times! I kind have my heart set on keeping it looking stock looking down to the 273 commando valve covers, and the A/C is going back on the car. I agree with the 2.02s being overkill, but I am thinking 360 size valves. I also agree with your 9.5 compression mark...

Will do Mark, I am going to go by the machine shop to check because if there is one in it I dont want them to loose it and then tell me there was never one in it.
