I have a ‘66 Barracuda, so not much help as to bulb numbers, but about 10 years ago I had a brake light bulb burn out & went crazy (for me) and bought new-fanged (at that time) LED bulbs all around. They’re all still fine…they’re brighter & cooler (not melting the red lenses like the originals)...

Years ago I pulled the dipstick on my 340 after a 150 mile trip when it started running badly. The ‘oil’ had become friendly with the coolant and turned a minty-green. It either had a cracked head or blown head gasket….I forgot which. ;(

I gave up on the 90 degree adapter years ago. It was nothing but trouble. I replaced it with a shorty & no trouble since.

I had 20+ years of insurance without even a HINT of a claim. I had a front tire (over 10 years old) blowout on the expressway. It tore off the left front fender along with some other minor damage. I was expecting an argument from the adjuster…outdated tire blow out being the cause. I was VERY...

I haven’t been here in a long time & just had some time to kill. I still have my long-time Green ‘66 Barracuda (bought new) and assorted Early A Body parts - mostly small stuff from another Yellow ‘66 Barracuda project (now sold). I guess I’ll get off of my butt & list my available parts to...

I have a NEW inner front left side splash shield that I ordered by mistake (my Barracuda is a ‘66). It cost around $150 from Classic. I’ll never use it. I’d like to get $100 from someone who could. If I must take less, I probably will….but hey! It’s almost Christmas. I’m in Northern...

You’re probably already covered, but if you still need one, I have one with a good but old tire on it…free to good home - but pick up only. I’m in Northern Kentucky…2 miles South of Cincinnati.

Keep an extra ballast resistor in your glove box. It's the 'weak link' AND small, cheap, & easy to replace on the road.

As a young, impressionable (but I repeat myself) teen, I'd go through the JC Whitney catalog to plan how to make my car if/when I got one - the coolest/fastest thing around. This would have made my list.

Somehow I wound up with a Classic Industries new part that I don't need...you probably don't either, - but if you DO, I can save you a few bucks. It's new...painted in gloss black...never installed. Here's their catalog listing/description: "Classic Industries Product # MP41258 1967-69...

I'm glad to hear what sounds like a good report on the Nats. I too, had gone for decades - but didn't go last year on account of the COVID panic. But the last few years that I DID go, there were way more newer cars there than in the past. I figured the Nats was giving in to the newer car crowd...

Just about every year I take my 1966 Barracuda (1972 360 engine A-833 OD) to the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green, KY. It's 400+ miles round trip, so I'm always a bit worried as to something going wrong. Except for a couple of blowouts (thank God I had a spare both times), I've never had any car...

I'm a dumbass (at least I'm willing to admit it!) & don't know how to PM, nor do I understand if/how non Gold Member buyers & sellers can exchange information. Maybe there's a good reason, but..... And to top off my confusion, I'm given the rare "UPLOAD PHOTOS" option. I'll try to post a picture...

Sure! Call me at !(no phone numbers in public forums) If I don' answer, leave a message. Thanks, Mark
