65 Barracuda daily driver
It's been a while and for various reasons I only got little things done here and there. One problem was that I had the wrong 90 degree oil filter adapter. For the early A-body you need part number 2463661. Here is a photo that shows exactly how they are different (correct one is on the right):
I guess in '67 they made the engine bays bigger and changed the angle. Not sure why, maybe the oil flows better in that angle?!
Anyhow, now I can bolt that on, and finally get all of the the exhaust in. And then it's just relatively straight forward steps to fire up that small block for the first time... Fingers crossed!
