Here is the heater core. It holds water; a start. I'll hook it up to the engine and warm it up and see what happens.

68 Barracuda, non-AC. How do you identify an OEM heater core? I have 2 as rebuilding candidates. I don't see any Chrysler markings, which I would expect with an OEM core. Robert

Thanks.

if you look closely at this picture from the 68 Plymouth manual, you could convince yourself that small bolt in the middle of the side is a machine screw thread. This picture also shows that the ends of the side strips have a large round thick washer under the bolts. Have you seen that?

Thanks Dana. I've figured out a bit of that in the last few hours. It's disappointing that there is no picture (except for one generic one) in the service manuals. I could also find no listing for the tacking strips or the fasteners in the 68 book. However, I worked a parts counter at a...

What fasteners are used to attach the rear tack strips? Are they all 1/4-20 bolts? Three are two types of bolts on my car that are clearly factory correct. Both are 1/4-20 x 1.5" with either a round or large rectangular washer. There are 4 other holes that have a variety of 5/16-18 bolts (and...

Thanks, Steve. That is the information I was looking for. I have the 68 K. Robert

I was about to start a thread asking about this pan and interferrence issues, but I'll jump in here as your info seems to be the opposite of the Milodon advertising. Milodon states on their website that the 31590 pan, "Works on 1967 to 73 cars with later 1973 to 1976 A body K-member.". So they...

That's what I'm starting to think. I did some more searching after I posted. I have a fastback that has a 1 under the X on the fender tag. On this website: 1967-1968 Mopar Fender Tag Decoder, Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth That shows as Tinted Glass (All). I am assuming that if there is nothing...

For a 1968 Barracuda, is the windshield coded (clear or tinted) on the fender tag? Robert

What a co-inky dink.

Were the hubcap or wheel cover option coded on the fender tag on a 1968 Barracuda. Mine has no code for wheel covers. Does this mean that the code was not marked, or that it came with the base hubcaps? Have have a very vague memory, from years ago, of being told that the wheel covers were not...

Dan, Why two 10ga in parrallel? Why not one 7ga with 100A fuses? Although, I guess you'd have to use 6ga; 7ga is probably uncommon. Is it just that the 10ga is easier to work with? Bob

I am looking for an export speedometer that measures in kilometers per hour. I would prefer a 68 or 69, but 67 will also do. The 68 and 69 go to 240 KPH. 67 go to 200 KPH, and there is possibly a 240 KPH version. Please PM me. Thanks, Bob

I have a 69 Barracuda convertible with a slant 6 and the following setup: Compression is ~9.0:1 (I'd have to go look at my data book for exact) TRW stock replacement cam (Again, data book for year application p/n) OD 4 speed, aluminum case 2-1/4 exhaust - entire headpipe to muffler Reproduction...
