1969 barracuda 4 speed clutch rod. The last guy used two loops of bailing wire to hold the clutch rod to the pedal end!! I have been doing a lot of "un-rigging" with this car. I have a new push rod and can't find the clips or what ever is supposed to hold it to the clutch pedal and Z bar?? Does...

I purchased the 360 balancer on the front from blue print. My 360 flywheel with the weight set had a 360 and a magnum weight. I used the 360 weight. Sounds like I need to change the flywheel weight to the magnum one. I will go with what Johnny mac says thanks for your help

Thanks for getting johnny mac involved, I'll wait to hear from him on what balance weights to use. My apologies to Blue Print engines. I purchased your long block because of your good reputation. The day I got my create I READ the installation instructions but only SKIMMED the break in...

Starter gear sticking in flywheel. I have the 318 four speed 833 bellhousing that came with the junk 318. I have a 130-tooth 360 flywheel 10.5" clutch and pressure plate. The high torque mini starter from summit racing (sum-820441) for la small and big blocks. It turns over the engine without...

Thanks, the fasteners are for something else. Just used the boxes to prop up shifter for photo.

I have a Hurst shifter that came with the 1969 barracuda. Problem, it is missing the part on the back that keeps the shims from traveling too far back and I have to fight to get it to shift. I took it apart cleaned and greased it, doesn't show much wear. I am willing to buy a new one but not...
