I bought an AEM gauge. It works pretty good. Good enough for the type of tuning that I do. (Street and occasional pass down the track) I have it rigged up temporarily with the long cable thru the vent window. I like being able to see how a metering rod change directly affects the afr. I’m...

I used cerakote on my doug's headers back in 2020. It was the first time I used a spray gun in my life. I followed CudaChick1968 advice from another thread from a few years ago. (I would look for it but I'm supposed to be "working"). I feel like the cerakote has held up pretty good. I don't...

Layson's is the only place I have seen that carries the square bushings for the early A sway bar. Admittedly, I have not done an exhaustive search. I just did an easy search. The link might work. It might not. I just did this replacement on my 65 Barracuda so I will describe what I did...

I actually had this happen a few weeks ago. I floored the accelerator wide open on a two lane road and the kickdown popped off the transmission linkage and jammed against the header. It was jammed so tight the return spring couldn't pull it back. Fortunately, I had enough room and time to...

I'm going. Mainly to look for parts. Always looking for 65 barracuda parts and sometimes the occasional oddball stuff that shows up. Last time I bought an oscillating westinghouse fan for no other reason than I thought It would look good in my man cave. It did not.

I just installed Doug's Headers w 2.5 inch pipes going to Cherry Bomb Salute mufflers on my 65 Barracuda. Then 2.25 pipes from the mufflers over the rear axle w regular downturns. While 2.5 inch pipes "fit" over the rear axle, they occasionally rubbed on something back there (on my car anyway)...

years ago I put a generic radio shack speaker in that spot in my 65 (so I could use a reverb system that I found in a chrysler 300). I didn't even use a grill or do any cutting. It sounded fine.

I discovered today that the discount code applies to the ceramic headers. And today the black friday discount is 25%. I think it's BFSAVE25. The code is good until midnight (well. 1 second before midnight) tonight central time. This makes the ceramic coated headers $789 which is 1 more...

I tried ordering them with that promo code and I keep getting a message saying it cannot be applied. I have tried chatting with a customer service person and have sent 2 emails; I have yet to receive an answer that adequately explains why this code cannot be used. Especially if others are...

I found a D4b on ebay for the 273 in my 65 Barracuda. Just got it installed a few months ago. It went in fine. Seems to work good. Haven't had it on the strip yet to see if performs better than the factory single plane four barrel that I used to run. That being said, it is my understanding...

That looks really nice!!!

I had the same problem at about 220,000 miles. I had to find a new screw on end with a more snug fitting hole for the ball. Of course this was 1989 and I had a parts car.

I totally know what you mean. I used to be the same way. Then I moved. There is a severe shortage of car guys where I live now. Everyone I know drives a diesel jetta or a subaru of some type. Let's put it this way, when a guy with a triumph spitfire showed up and wanted to talk cars, I...

even though I run a mechanical fuel pump. I have a parts store cheapo electric pump in the trunk that I can hook up quickly to get me home. I has saved my azz one time. That one save made it worthwhile.

I was thinking of doing something similar on my 65. Thanks for showing me how easy it is. I do have one question. Why was it necessary to put the red lens from the LED assembly under the red lens of the tail light?
