My home has a combo of new and old wiring. The grounds and neutrals are bonded in the main panel. I have a barn with a sub panel that's ran off the main panel. It's old so the feed to it is just 3 wire (two hots, neutral). I have a new shop put up next to the barn that I'd like to install a...

I'm rebuilding an original prop valve and I can't seem to get the piston on the left and the small piston in the middle of the picture out. I've soaked both for a couple days in PB blaster to no avail. I've banged it on a wooden table. Blasted air into it while banging it on the table. Even...

This is a 68 Barracuda with an 8 3/4 that I picked up about 10 years ago. Looks to be a stick A body housing. No idea on the year. It has Mark Williams axles and green bearings. I also rebuilt the center section and changed the ring and pinion plus all the bearings. I'm shaking the car down...

Car is a 68 Barracuda and I'm using a stock in dash rallye tach. I'm running a Blueprint 408 and it came with this ready to run distributor. I'm also using an MSD blaster 2 coil. https://content.speedwaymotors.com/DigitalAssets/assets/testing/2897713B_INS_2021_1.pdf The PDF says: It also comes...

I recently got my 30x50 square tube metal shop put up and am currently going through sticker shock on insulation. Not only that but researching it is making my head spin. It seems like no matter what I read, everything is always wrong with every form of insulation. I'll admit I have zero...

This is a 68 Barracuda with 408 blueprint engine stroker with their Ready to Run distributor that comes with an internal ignition. No ballast. I rewired a good amount under the hood and dash and swapped out the bulkhead connectors not too long ago. I'm just now attempting to start the engine for...

I'm on an acre and having a metal shop put up in the back of my lot. So far the fire department has been 10x more of a headache than the county. They are requiring a compaction report because to get to my shop you drive on my asphalt driveway, then a 100ft gravel driveway (which is really just...

1968 Barracuda with a 408 stroker, magnum 360 block. I originally bought these 1973 van mounts because I read on here that the thicker mounts work best with Dougs headers and the Borgeson steering box. Turns out they're too thick and I can't get the distributor installed without the plug wires...

Anyone know where to get the square u bolts that go through the rear frame rail on a 68 Barracuda? I believe the u bolts are about 2.75" wide. Thanks.

I'm getting serious about buying one in CA and I know CA has/had stricter emissions than the rest of the states but I can't find out for the life of me whether or not an air pump was ever on one of these things. I read some articles that stated that Mopar was able to use some loopholes in...

This is a 489 case with a new 3.73 ring and pinion and crush sleeve eliminator. Is this pattern saying that I need to add a pinion shim to increase the pinion height? If so, I don't think there's any way I can remove the pinion bearing without destroying it. Is it possible to just add a shim...

Does anyone have one of these wire clips that clip onto the pinch weld on the firewall? I believe they may be a 67-68 only type deal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

68 Barracuda. 10" drums on an 8 1/4" rear. New shoes and hardware. E brake disconnected at the adjuster. Brake adjusters threaded as far in as they'll go. The drums are tight on both sides. I can get the drums on but they are tighter than I would ever want them and that is with the hardware...

My house has a drainage ditch in the back yard that runs from east to west. Basically the drainage from a handful of houses to the east runs through my backyard to a 6in drain. My neighbor said he was around when they installed it and apparently it's a 6in drain that has a 90* coupler that...

The plan is to run a belt on the inner groove of the crank for the water pump and alternator. Outer groove of the crank for the compressor and power steering. Problem is that it also runs down the outer groove of the water pump pulley. I have a feeling this is a no go but I wanted to check here...

Installing a set of .007" offset dowels to get the run out alignment in spec and it seems to me like the dowels that shift sst sent me are too long. The side with the cut outs should go into the block right? I installed them that way but there is a good 1/4" gap when I tried putting the...

Do I have these mounted correctly? Not only the orientation of which side of the ears the brackets go on but is the rubber mount itself supposed to be offset from the bracket like that? Seems kind of off to me. Thanks. First pic drivers side. Second pic passenger side.

I noticed the factory lower bearing was toast on my 68 Barracuda floor shift column so I bought one of the bearings from 72blunblu's how to article. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/ams/how-to-replace-your-lower-column-bearing-better-and-cheaper.66/ The column basically has the main...

I bought this kit from Jegs a while back and just did a test fit. This is a 68 Barracuda with a power steering floor shift column. https://www.jegs.com/i/Borgeson/153/999065/10002/-1 The column installs into the coupler without the shaft needing to be cut but I always thought they needed to be...

Just want to give you guys a warning about Tamco. Let me start off by saying that their products are actually really good for the price. I've been nothing but satisfied with their primers, basecoats and clears. With that said, their customer service is awful. I ordered a dark gray Porsche...

Hey guys, I'm looking for this style valve for a disc brake setup. I know they're sold new but they tend to leak. Would rather just rebuild an original if anyone has one they're willing to part with.

I'm stumped here so I'm hoping one of you guys have ran into this issue before and know what to do. I've got an old 125A Zinsco combo main panel w/meter that I need to replace. The panel is mounted to the outside of my house, just left of the garage door. The feed from the power company comes...

This is a 225 with a Carter BBD, HEI ignition and NOS Mopar distributor. Drove it to work and everything was perfectly fine. Went to drive it home and it would stumble and die once I'd hit about 25mph. Seems to drive fine under that speed. It also idles the way it should in neutral. I can rev...

Where do you guys like to mask when you paint an engine bay to make it look as seamless as possible when you wind up doing the body at a later date?

I bought a hardware kit that comes with a couple of these sleeve nuts. I'm guessing they go on the left and right side of the passenger manifold and screw into a stud but neither one physically fits in the holes. I'd have to drill the holes out a little bit to get them to fit, which has me...

Are all 7 screws that hold the rallye dash bezel to the dash frame the same? It looks like the 3 that go along the bottom side of the bezel are definitely chrome 8x3/4 fillister head screws. FA 4074 C listed in mrg's catalog https://mrgusa.com/pdfs/146-147fillis But are the 4 that screw...

I'm just looking for one of the little rounded square chrome knobs for the heater control. The type with the little hex set screw on the bottom. Thanks.

I sprung for a new 68 Barracuda rallye bezel and am dismantling the old one and at some point whoever worked on it used this white glue that stays slightly malleable to where I was able to peel it off with my fingers but it was strong enough to hold everything in place. Anyone know of a...

I don't know how to photoshop but you'll have to use your imagination. Been kicking around some ideas on how I should paint my cars in the future. Normally I don't like custom but it's been growing on me lately. The idea is for it to be custom but still look like it could be factory. Idea #1...

Hey guys I just bought a woodgrain steering wheel with the horn cap and horn cap retainer. Is there a horn switch or something I need to purchase as well? The car I have has an old crappy aftermarket wheel so I don't have an original horn switch. Is there anything else I need to be able...
