I have a ‘66 Barracuda that has been fitted with a ‘71 318 & A833 4 speed, by the previous owner. As I continue to work on the car, I keep running into & fixing his homemade parts. It seems the picot ball was made out of some sort of composite & has almost pulled through. The threaded rod &...

I'm converting my ‘66 Barracuda from the sbp, to 5x4.5. On the front, I just did a disc conversion. On the rear I installed new Yukon axel shafts, with the new bolt pattern, but using the original drum breaks. Does anyone know where I can get a drum to fit? Either a new part, or a drum off...

Awesome! Cosgig saves the day once again!

Went there yesterday, no dice.

So, I’m finishing up a front end freshen up, and break conversion, on my ‘66 Barracuda. I have no idea where one or the strut rod nuts went, and I’m having a hard time finding a replacement. The flange nut I’m referring to, is the one that connects the strut rod, to the lower control arm. I...

I bough my ‘66 Barracuda about a month ago & everyone on here has been super helpful with all my rookie questions and issues, so I thought I’d throw this out there. The guy I bought the car from said the ‘71 318 that is in the car, puts out 400hp at motor, with “293 cam, domed pistons, 30 over”...

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the ballast resistor under the dash, or in the engine compartment? Thanks.

So I’m taking off the holly 750 that the previous owner put on the ‘71 318 that is in my ‘66 Barracuda. My buddy gave me a street demon 625, but it has an electric choke. I’ve read that I need to splice it to the dark blue wire, so it will only get power when the key is turned. Well, like a bowl...

Good deal. I messaged you Cosgig. I failed to mention I’ll be using them on a fiberglass hood from VFN. Will the weight difference cause any issues?

My new hood will be here in a few weeks, and I’m trying to get everything ready for it. I acquired all the latch parts for the front, but I don’t have any springs on my hinges. As I did some Googlin’, I realized they used crisscrossing rods to keep the hood open. I have had 0 luck, so far...

Thanks for the pictures, that will make it much easier!

Is there anyone that has a ‘66 barracuda, with the hood latch assembly installed, that can snap some pics for me? None of the engine bay pics I can find on google show how the assembly is installed. Thank you. Does anyone have a ‘66 barracuda, with the hood latch assembly installed, able to...

This is what I’ve found, it looks to be the right size for the holes in the core support, but I don’t see any way to unlatch it. Is this missing some kind of release handle?

I’m replacing the hood on my ‘66 Barracuda. The one I have now uses hood pins. I’d like to go back to using a latch. I have the core support & the safety hook and catch are on the existing hood, I just need the assembly itself. Does anyone know that part number, or where it can be purchased...
