Hi...yes I'm still around and thanks for the comments. Sharing information gives me joy. Still have the 65 and now own a 66 Barracuda as well. Both FS 4 speed cars. Good luck on your project.

With all due respect regarding 65 Barracuda S cars: The 322 sales code option for the S package includes the tachometer as printed on the window sticker. The tachometer could be optioned on any 8 cylinder car (sale code 468), but was standard equipment with the S package. SG (Sure-Grip) was an...

Humorous, creative and so true, especially "In your 70's" part...at 78 I know. Thank you for providing a virtual image of myself and cementing wife's understanding of the old fart she lives with.

No issue anymore....it's been sold.

I agree on the underside pictures.....but I have also developed significant distrust for online car dealers. Most seem to be unfamiliar with the car they have for sale..especially if Chrysler products are involved. I would certainly question most anything they state or claim. Thanks for your...

There is a 1970 Duster listed on eBay from a dealer in Stuart FL. Is there anybody who lives near there interested in taking a look at the car or perhaps someone who already has taken a look and is willing to share info? It's a yellow 340 with BIN @ $32000. If it doesn't violate forum rules, I...

I'll take it if moparhunter passes.

I reinstalled a 273 mated to it's 4 speed into my 66 Barracuda with the hood in place. I would do it again.

65 had shields on both r & l exhaust manifolds from the factory. 66 shield/gasket only on the drivers side with no gasket or shield on the passenger side. Reuse old shield/gasket should be no problem.....new ones are getting hard to find.

"Early A body HP muffler question" was my post from way back in 2011 when I was restoring my 65 FS. My..my, how much I've learned since then.

I have not found any other applications for the #541 or #548 (reverse flow mufflers). It seems they were only for 273 HP's. Can't be 100% sure though.

I wrote this article a couple of years back...but I do not know if I ever posted it on FABO or not, so the information may or may not be new to all readers. I provide this information in reference to posts #5 (mine) and #12 asking about the straight through muffler design. (see picture below...

Great video......and we heard the legit sound of an early straight through muffler. All 65 Formula S cars did not sound the same. The early versions were much louder and had a signature snap, crackle and pop when decelerating. Thanks for sharing

Thank you Pete in NH for responding....kinda thought it would have to be removed.
