Well I've never seen a date code on a piston lol. and I cannot imagine wanting to know. Now, had you asked are they hi or low compression, that's another matter.

Slanty going back in?

Post 4 is no better than post 1. Put your phone down and go find a keyboard, and type out your communication in long hand, such that us old guys can understand it. Like; b4 is not a word; N is not a word; red, is a color; and so on. I'm 71, and NOT interested in learning a new phone language...

That's a heckuva dream. and a heckuva motor for a 3400 pound car.

Hi, back, nice car. I got my Driver's license in 69. My Second Mopar was a 65 V100 station wagon. and, I have had a 64 Barracuda, as well; as numerous other 67>80, A and F cars. I bet in the past 50 years, I have seen about every problem that could possible "pop up", in those cars. IDK if I...

Daymn, why can't I inherit something like that? Hello from the hinterland

...the self adjuster blade. I have, on occasion used a cotter-pin puller. This tool is like a screwdriver, but the tip is bent over at about 90*s. This allows inserting the tool over the adjuster, then rotating it downwards between the adjuster-body and the blade. Now all you gotta do is push...

...See note-1 below. Next, check to be sure the drums are not seized to the axle registers. If they are, I find that smacking the drums where the 90* is, where the vertical side meats the horizontal outside of the friction area, usually breaks it loose. This may take multiple turns of the drum...

my guess the throttle is likely too far closed, and the Auto-idle motor is a bit slow. Just open the throttle a hair and let it relearn.

If that's a 2bbl engine, then IIRC, it's an 8/1 motor. If I'm right, my advice is to forget camming it, unless you are also prepared to install a higher than stock stall convertor and more performance-oriented rear gears..

sometimes a right price s in the eye of the beholder. The rest of the car better be worth it.

I luv it. I have everything it needs except an interior. I have an HO367engine, a modified 4-speed trans, an overdrive, a narrowed 8.75, Disc brakes, HD suspension, dual exhaust, and a brand new set of 295s on 10s to match those wheels currently on it. If money was easy for me, I'd already be...

Getting something on to the driver-side exhaust flange is gonna be the make or break part of this build. Many BB/ Early-A projects get this far, then stall for lack of exhaust. I once, in about 1976, was given such a project for this very reason. The car was a beautiful 66 Barracuda, and the...

With my street slick-shifted gears, no. the only thing that is important is that he flanks of the teeth are not worn at an angle that would cause them to try and kick the shifter into neutral. As to re-pointing, I do it cuz I can. But truth be told if the brass is still working, those points...

I bought a few feet of cold-rolled seamless tubing, maybe .5 inch od I cheaped out and just cut the ends off some old rods I had; stuffed them into the ends and welded them in

Aggressive in my box, is to make the decision to shift, and then "blam" it in there. I still clutch it, even at WOT, Cuz you know, I'm not too excited about repointing the teeth during the Summer, when I just want to drive. With mine, I found a short stick really helps with the "blamming"; and I...

I graduated hi-school in 1972, after several years of working both systems side by side..... plus fractions, so I got my indoctrination there. It has served me well. Chris I gotta wonder why you want to go thru all this trouble of trying to stretch that nose out into the crank, when it would be...

Yes; I spent 6 years in a major transmission rebuilding shop. I was on the Standard trans line, moving from beginner stuff, to farm trucks, to 18-Wheelers, to industrial. Along the way I learned to do rearends as well This repair was quite popular. Not just for passenger cars but also for bigger...

1/.75=1.33 ratio = the close ratio T/A gear set of 2.47-1.77-1.34-1.00 To use a Chevy trans behind a Mopar, you install an adapter Bellhouse, a GM clutch-disc, and matching TO bearing and fork. But before you get too excited, you still have to deal with the GM Speed-O drive gearing. and IDK...

IDK what that short fat input fits but I've never seen anything like that come out of any SBM or slanty. It looks like a Chevy to me..... but Chevy's are 10spl usually.......

A 360 with 63cc heads, falls together at close to 11/1Scr, ; and that makes her plenty loud, and the SBM almost drops right in, and you get to keep your P/S, PDB, A/C, whatever, and in your case, (not looking for speed), you can use any old trans/any old rear end/any old gear, but with a...

Keep in mind (and you may already know this/IDK), that Advertised numbers can fool you; Some cams are spec'd at .006Tappet rise, others at .008, and still others at .001.. The closer to zero, the bigger a cam will read. Therefore; not all 274s are alike. You can take a specific cam that is...

...plenty of cylinder pressure. and/or cubes. I have run this combo with a 360, and with 245/60-14s, she was a terror. At 65=2600, you can just get ~50* cruise timing, which is usually not quite enough, but will make pretty good fuel economy with a 224* or less cam, and especially with cylinder...

Nope my brother is deceased since 2007, so he ain't talking no more.. That car was already shedding rust in the driveway when I gave it to my brother, which is why I gave it to him, lol. He, being 15, was broke, still in school, and needed wheels to take a part-time job. Whereas I was 25...

@crazyfelinelady Whatever you do, do NOT post a selfie, this ain't facebook and there is almost nobody here that is not a macho-man, and most are old macho-men. Well except me; I'm just old.

I locate squeeks simply by dribbling or spraying water on the belts. Some belts like to stick to the pulleys, and that for sure makes them squeek. My solution is to deglaze the drive edges. I had one of those in 1976, with a 340 in it. I sure miss it. After a few years I gave it to my younger...

It's 54 years later, do whatever you like.

that was Jack's daughter, and Ron's girl. and everyone else's as far as that goes; They say every school has a French girl that likes the boys, but I wouldn't know. They say our school had more than one ......... I had no clue. When it came to girls I was one dumb sob. So; I'd like to go back...

If I could go back to highschool, it would not be for my first car. not even the second or third. It would be for; Mona, Lesley, Beverly, Dale, Gizelle, Nancy, Tracy, Jennifer, Bonny, Luba, and VaVaVoom Veronica, etc.
