    69 barracuda dash to firewall bolts

    I don't mean to rock the boat here. It has been several years since I had my dash out and my memory isn't what it once was. Having said that... I don't recall the 5 OEM bolts having the pointed nose shown in previous posts here. They were black coated machine screws with kept washers...

    A/C push buttons gasket

    Sorry but there were 2 different sizes of buttons. Square holes in this gasket would be different also. DMT likely has both and knows what the transition year was. I'm thinking 64 &65 were the larger buttons but I've been wrong before.

    WHAT IS THIS??

    It has been 20 some years since I worked in machining cast metals but we still found sand in them. The tool coolant spray would often bring it out. In this case, lower back of an engine block, it's not going to travel. There is no turbulence. Only circulation. The small stuff might lift and...

    69 barracuda dash to firewall bolts

    I was thinking 1/4-20 bolts. The threaded neck of the 'U' nuts wasn't much taller than the head of the bolt. I decided so long as the bolt doesn't come out of the neck, all good. Yeah the heat case and the left fresh air think need to be removed. So if you find you need about 5/8 bolt length...

    Old OEM Dash Pad finish?

    It is supposed to have a flat hue so it doesn't reflect onto the windshield. Just clean it with a mild soap. I liked the creme type GoJo that had lanolin in it. That and thorough clear water rinse is the only thing ever used on my 67 fish dash. It still looks new. I haven't searched for that in...

    " What is MOPAR and what does it stand for ?

    In the beginning, Henry Ford got his engines from Dodge Brothers. They were already building reliable engines for all sorts of equipment. Most don't know that Kingsford Charcoal is a spin off from all the waste wood that Henry Fords auto production created. Just a little bit of trivia some find...

    Wiring Aftermarket Gauges

    You probably already know your 75 model has a white fuse box with about twice as many fuses as the earlier black 5 circuit fuse box shown above. If this is a gauge pod that mounts under the dash, like under the radio maybe, All the power you need is right there at the radio and already fused...

    [FOR SALE] 1966 Bucket seat cores.

    Posting the same details yet again. There are differences between 66 and 67 buckets. Starting at top of seat back... For 66 model, the piece of steel frame underneath the skin is round. For 67 this piece is/was changed to square tubing with holes stamped through for headrest posts. Doesn't sound...

    Under dash help..

    You may find this interesting... For 74 thru 76 models the factory deleted that 3rd lower bolt. 1974 DODGE A Body Steering Column Mounting Bracket - Dart Duster Scamp Valiant | eBay I have to wonder if the assembly line workers had the same problem I had with it. I've noticed aftermarket...

    Under dash help..

    3 holes at column support. The upper 2 have studs from dash down through plastic bushings. The 3rd lowest one gets a bolt up and into a caged or captured nut above a hole. I'm not sure that is the hole in your picture though. One thing I do know... you don't want to cross thread the bolt that...

    No dash lights

    Yep, all those other lamps in the instrument panel get their power from other circuits. Illumination gets shifter indicator, radio, maybe a ashtray lamp, all on an orange wire. Some instrument panels have 2 connectors with this orange wire in both. Thus gauge lighting on one side but not the...

    Fake Money Used to Purchase Classic Car

    And all this BS is why my 67 notch fish will likely sit where it has sat since covid lock down. More headache than its worth to try to sell it, here, ebay, craigs list, anywhere. Sure I would like for it to have a happy new home but to leave me unhappy? Feck that. We got our happy from it.

    I salute you men and women who

    It's simply the nature of us bi-peds/humans to use any flat surface as a shelf. I guess the best example I can present is Jotul #3 wood stove because we own one. It is illegal to place this or similar stove in a bedroom. Someone would throw a robe or something flammable on top of it. "Nature of...

    Remember when we were young and this was the look we were going for.

    We would joke about it. "If you can't stand behind it and see the radiator cap, it aint jacked up high enough". LOL
