I was down to one wheel with the L lugs, the driver front. When I get- together that part of the rebuild I don't yet know what i will do. Probably depends on availability of studs and chrome lugs for my factory exposed lug hub caps.

It's NEVER been about the $$ value for me; its always been about "this particular car" ... the one I drove as a kid, the one that brought me home from the hospital as an infant, and is in the background of so many family pictures. If you are in it for $$$ then go for the B and E bodies. I...

The last piece of disassembly that remained to do on the car was the UCA bolts as they had frozen and the shop left it to me to do that part. I went over last saturday, but did not have a carbide recip blade, so I was only able to get one free with the tools i had. Picked up a good carbide...

Dropped the Cam, lifters and springs at the Engine shop. got some pics. Bottom end. Top end, this was the worst cylinder before boring. Pretty new pistons... the pin fit in the rods are almost too good to be true. Old and one new laid out.

so, lots of options, but NOT the console ('a' is blank). Kinda odd for a FS, but not unique. Not a great pic, esp. on the right side, BUT... Top row - b4 (Buckets), p6 (LH remote outside mirror), I don't see anything else in qrtuwy. 2nd row 325917 is 4bbl commando 273, 904 Auto trans, CAP...

Got the upper ball joints off...one easily, the other took a 4 foot cheater bar on my 3 foot breaker bar. Now a little surgical use of a saws-all and the frozen cam bolts will be out. Update, end of the week.

Never heard back from the guy so i assume he never found the print file. ... But i got time...

Thank you Jim at RacerBrown!!! The cam, lifters and springs have arrived....

Appreciate the advice. The A arms can rotate up and down. I will try the air hammer route. First though, I need to get the upper ball joints out. I have a set of cam bolts on the way from Hemi71x.

Two bolts, one on each side, fractured from trying to remove it. Both those are still frozen solid. If i understand you guys correctly, the bushing, the cam bolt/nut, and the central core in which that bolt rides are all replacement parts and I do not have to worry about messing them up...

I have the car on a rotisserie. The Guys left the upper a arms on the body when it went to media blasting. I asked them why and they said they could not get them off. THese are not regular MOPAR guys, but now that its all blasted I DO need to get them off. The A Arms move but it feels...

Fair enough and we are going to have to agree to disagree. From a materials science standpoint in 1966 (my Barracuda's year) a black RTV Silicone used by a US automaker was like finding a Ipod that year .... you can't because it was not available yet. Available sources say stuff like this...

I have a hard time believing that the fins are attached with RTV. That product cures flexible, not rigid. While it is not susceptible to many solvents, it's not rigid and not for solid, unsupported adhesion. I would have guessed some sort of epoxy.

The available stripes are Black, Med. Blue, White, Gold, Ruby. Available stripe colors with base colors are ont he right side of the order document below. For an EE1 Dark Blue Metallic paint car the only available factory Stripe color is Medium BLue DD1. Dealer installed stripes probably...

the 4BBL AFB carbs. 4 different # ones each year. M/t, A/T, CAP A/T, and CAP M/T. The exhaust manifolds and the intake (65 and 66 4bbl intakes are different bolt hole geometries).
