    [WANTED] Stabilizer bar bracket

    Correct. The brackets and bushings weren't serviced separately. If you needed to replace the bushings, you had to order the entire anti-sway bar. :realcrazy: Polyurethane replacement bushings are available. I haven't seen rubber, but they could be out there. I burned the rubber ones out...

    67 DART SPEAKER REPLACEMENT

    Just did it last year, so it's fresh in my memory. :)

    67 DART SPEAKER REPLACEMENT

    If it's still original, the speaker is screwed to a bracket. The bracket is held up on each end by a square shanked carriage bolt that points downward, and whose head is hidden under the defogger outlet vents. As said in post 2, reach up and remove the nuts however you can, and the speaker and...

    360 vs 383

    Not all Hemis got Danas. Lots of automatics got 8.75s which were standard on many Hemi cars unless optioned up.

    360 vs 383

    I've heard that was the reason. Unleaded fuel would require lower compression, and the extra cubes would help offset it. The timing roughly coincides with the other changes made to accommodate unleaded, ie. hardened valve seats.

    360 vs 383

    My '69 383 Super Bee was a lightweight bench seat coupe with a 4-speed and 3:91 gears. The only options were sure grip, power steering with a cooler, and a radio. It ran pretty good, but when I put on headers, Crane Cam, lifters and springs, Edelbrock Torquer and a 750 double pumper I dipped...

    Looking for previous owner of this 1968 Barracuda Convertible

    You know that the VIN isn't on the fender tag on '68s? To match the tag you'll need your shipping order number. This can be found on the radiator support or in the weatherstrip area of the trunk. Nice car!

    Wilwood front kits 69 Barracuda

    What is your goal? Why do you want to replace the (I'm assuming) factory Kelsey-Hayes calipers? If it is for weight reduction, maybe take a look at SSBC's aluminum calipers. They are supposedly direct replacements for the cast iron K-H calipers. I don't like that company, or its predecessor...

    Wilwood front kits 69 Barracuda

    If you want to keep your wheels, you need to be concerned with more than the bolt pattern. The size of the Wilwood hub is larger than will fit the center register on factory 5x4" wheels and probably 5x4.5" wheels. If you already have aftermarket wheels, then maybe they'll fit.

    Alignment Help

    Use an adapter that attaches directly to the spindle. You need to remove the dust cap and the hub cap on your wheel. Screw on the adapter and attach your magnetic mount gauge. Longacre Racing Products 52-78414 Longacre Caster Camber Gauge Adapters | Summit Racing

    I Need Engine Experts! 340 Roller Lifter and Pushrod Issue

    There's another piece to this system that's missing in your picture. A retaining "spider" that bolts to a boss in the lifter valley holds the "dog bones" on top of the lifters. This allows the lifters to be shorter because they don't need to have links quite a bit higher than the lifter bore...

    zinc oil useage?

    Lake Speed Jr does a really good job dispelling myths and cutting through the BS. One can learn a lot from his videos.

    New rallye dash replacement gauges/tachs (some insider news from the supplier)

    AMS also operates as Herb's Parts. That website is a little better for repro stuff. But yes, as 67fish383S says, call. They're good on the phone. https://www.herbsparts.com/products.php?cat=460

    Air Tracker

    They're cheap enough, and you'd be surprised how many hits it will get off other people's phones. But no, not perfect or infallible. For the price though, pretty good and lots better than nothing.

    Air Tracker

    I have a couple of Tile devices that work with my Android phone. They're OK. It depends what you want them to do. They broadcast a pretty weak signal which is picked up by yours and other phones. As long as it's in range of a phone with their app installed, you'll have a current location...

    Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

    :rofl: No problem! Reaffirming and adding background info. It seems crazy what they do, but there's a method to their madness.

    Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

    They have to do this, because if they don't they could lose their trademark protection. They have to pursue all instances of unauthorized use of trademarks, or they could be told down the road "since XYZ company used the pentastar on their parts and you knew about it and didn't demand they...

    Thermostat Housing sizes

    Some of the M1 manifolds used a smaller thermostat, maybe the same one as used on Magnum engines. Your new manifold is probably specced for the one used in V8s from the 1950s until the Magnum came out.

    speedmaster stuff pulled from Summit racing shelves

    That's a good question. If the reproduced product shared is currently for sale by the copyright holder, he could rightfully claim to have suffered damages from non-authorized use of his property.

    [WANTED] 10 X 2.5 in rear drum brake assemblies for 8.75 diff.

    I had several 1968-72 B-Bodies with 8.75" rear ends. All the front drum brake cars had 11" rear drums. All the disc brake cars had 10" rear drums. I'm not saying there are no exceptions to this, but that's what my cars were equipped with.

    [WANTED] 10 X 2.5 in rear drum brake assemblies for 8.75 diff.

    In all likelihood, yes. Think of all the Road Runners with 11" drums and 14" wheels. Disc brake clearance is trickier. The caliper has to clear in diameter and width.

    Been awhile

    Welcome back! Well, there's still no consensus on what color a 340 engine was painted in 1969.

    340 exhaust heat shield needed for Van's to repop.

    I was just reading the thread that Joe posted, and someone from Detroit Muscle Technologies was telling Van's that a guy who used to work at Roseville but is now at Mancini's has been working on a reproduction. Is that clear enough? :p
