After making sure the engine turns freely by hand I would prime the oil pump before attempting to start. Good luck with your Barracuda. My grandparents bought one new in 64 or 65.

I should have said with 225/70/14 with drums and sbp rallies they rubbed a little on the front. Went to the lbp rallies with the disc brake conversion and they rubbed more. That conversion pushes the wheels out a little. Then the tire size change to 225/60/14 solved the problem.

On my 67 Dart that size was ok in the rear but rubbed on the lower front fender. I had sbp rallyes but I did have 73-76 factory disc brake conversion for the front. Went to 225/60/14 and solved the problem.

Maybe yours is a B body radio? My 69 A body thumb wheel radio has chrome buttons.

Only picture I have at the moment. The shop is good, they have successfully installed several RMS systems. They will talk to Bill, as they have in the past on other builds. Will post what happens.

Yes, according to them a 17 x 8 inch wheel would clear. Not so much for me. What tire are you running on your 17 x7 rim?

The shop that has my Barracuda says the outer tie rod is hitting the inside of the rim as shown in the picture. Wheels are 17 x 8 inch torque thrust ll's with 5.48 inch backspace with p235 tires either 45 or 40 series. Car is a new build that just had alignment done and is not on the road yet...

I will be there Thursday. Met you before. You told some interesting stories about giving some people rides in your Dart haha. Blair

Rear is from a 68 Barracuda and is complete with diff, axles, and 11 backing plates and drums. Diff is in unknown condition but will include additional 3:55 cone sure grip diff in good condition for $1000 total. Brakes are KH discs still assembled with rotors, calipers, and spindles for $350...

You're a good man for taking care of all the animals. Good job!

Kitties eating good in the neighborhood! God Bless you and Rusty and everyone else that takes care of stray cats and dogs.

You could use some bungee cords for the doors if you don't want to use ratchet straps.

One to "hold my beer" and lord only knows how many to figure it out from there :thumbsup:

3000 rpm at 50 mph with your gears seems high. Maybe torque converter slipping?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:
