Been thinking, need your opinions

I used to drive a 68 barracuda everyday for 7 years in Detroit. It's possible, but not as easy as it used to be. the parts are getting harder to find at local parts stores. They usually have to be special ordered (because they are now slow sellers). So they don't stock very many parts that you may need to keep it on the road in case something breaks.

However you could stock up on the basics for JIC. Starter, alt, voltage reg, spare gasket kit, Cap, rotor, plugs, & wires, brakes.


I would also recommend if you run a SB, have electronic ignition and a 4 bbl with electric choke. If you set the electric choke right and hook it up to a good 12 volt source, all you have to do in the morning is pump the gas twice and crank it over. As soon as the oil pressure comes up on the gauge, put it in gear and go, no stumbles. Even below freezing.
