    Wanted: '68 Barracuda FB Window Regulator (Left/drivers)

    I need a Driver's side window regulator for the BIG window for my 1968 Barracuda Fast Back. Whatever happens to fit. If needed I will buy a pair, but I need the regulator as my old handle stripped out the gear. Thanks for the help!

    Noisy valve train revisited

    Any luck with this? or havent you had time yet? I'm pondering,a nd hoping, that new rockers and rocker arms might fix my ticking issue. Its driving me insane! hope it fixes yours!

    Noisy valve train revisited

    Ahhh ok, good luck! Yeah, the pushrod/head clearance was tight but its aligned properly. If it were Edelbrock heads, you'd have to most likely open up the pushrod holes. i had to on mine, they were rubbing. I was hoping that was the cause of the noise but its not it. Next step is spend more...

    Noisy valve train revisited

    Hey Mike, Did you get this sorted out yet? Did the new rockers and pushrods fix the noisey valve train? I'm curious as I have the same issue that has been annoying the CRAP out of me the last two years! Hope it all worked out buddy!

    Sending unit fitment question!

    Quick question, I need a new sending unit. Heard the e-bay ones dont always work right so I was going to go with the Goodmark one from Summit. First off, does this work with the stock fuel guage? as in, any issues with it not reading properly? And secondly, does this sending unit fit the...

    Is this bad? (440 Six Pack)

    That shouldnt be there as far as I know. Ive only seen a couple big blocks, all were 383's and none of them had that hole there. It looks WAY too jagged to be a factory thing, and more like something punched through the block.

    Cant make this valve train noise go away!

    This made me think.. I have TTI headers, the drivers side #7 header requires you to use a slip joint in order to get it around the torsion bar... I wonder if that's leaking. Also, the Z-bar system was never a perfect fit, that alone may be hitting something. See, arent you guys glad we...

    Cant make this valve train noise go away!

    Yeah im not sure mine is the bushings in the rods, they are fairly tight. Oddly, I found out today that the noise quiets down a lot after 3000 rpm's. It's especially loud at 2500, but I cant get it on camera. The car is just too noisey with the exhaust haha. I'm going to be ordering some Comp...

    Cant make this valve train noise go away!

    Ill see if I can get a video of it tonight. I didnt think about the stamped arms slapping the valve spring retainers... that would make some sense considering how flat they are on the bottom. I was going to try putting my 273 adjustable rockers back on tonight to see what it did again...

    I dont have a converter really, as its a 4 speed manual. I torqued all of my flywheel and pressure plate bolts to spec as well.

    Oil pressure is great at 70lbs driving. It gets pleanty through the rocker shafts too.

    Cant make this valve train noise go away!

    I use 90 octane with Half a can of torco just incase. I also have 10:1 compression. It's not pinging if that's what you're getting at. I know the sound of that and I hear it whenever it pings. Usually that's at low rpm in 4th gear.

    Cant make this valve train noise go away!

    Yes the noise is still there without the valve covers. I also have the aluminum mopar performance ones, so that doesn't help increasing the noise volume. I also tried doing the, push on the rockers while the engine is running, trick to see if i could quiet it down. That didnt do anything at...
