    Will I need to re-ring my pistons?

    I have a poly 318 in a '67 Fury. The engine was rebuilt about 42,000 miles ago. When I had the heads done, I told the machine shop SPECIFICALLY that I did not want knurled valve guides, I want guide inserts. A while back, I had to pull the intake because of a vacuum leak. While it was apart, I...

    Vote for number 29!

    My '67 Fury has a chance at getting into a 2019 calendar that my local rock station puts together every year. My car made the top 45, now it's up to popular vote for the final twelve. The voting ends on June 22nd. If you are inclined to help me get in, here is the link. You can vote for ten...

    Need parts shopping advise

    I have an 8-1/4 rear with an open 2.45 gear. I'm looking to replace the carrier with a sure grip and 3.55. Where is a good place to shop for these parts. Summit's website gave me ONE gear option; 4.56! Dr. Diff has the carrier, but doesn't seem to sell ring and pinion sets. Richmond doesn't list...

    Hmm... Hurst Barracuda?

    https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/plymouth/barracuda/2064883.html?refer=news Is this something somebody personalized? I've never heard of a Hurst Barracuda. And that price!

    Timing set questions

    I just put this Cloyes timing set on a '66 poly 318. The marks on the gears are BOTH at the top, instead of crank mark up and cam mark down, facing each other. The gears I just took off were the same way. I always thought the marks were supposed to point at each other. The installation...

    Allowable slack in timing chain?

    Should the timing chain be taut on both sides, or is there an acceptable amount of slack? If slack is allowed, how much is acceptable?

    Need 66 Barracuda rocker fasteners

    I contacted Rick at Layson's and he said he hasn't seen this type of fastener. Anyone else? The larger "T" clip screws toward the top of the rocker to hold the top of the rocker trim. I can get those. The round fastener holds the bottom of the trim to the bottom of the rocker. The pin spreads...

    Flip top fuel cap adapter

    I'm trying to locate the FABO member who makes and sells the flip top fuel cap adapters. I can't find the thread and I don't know his user name. I thought it was FormulaSValiant, but the search came up empty. Anyone know?

    Home made red lenses

    I have had the idea of building a model police car using odds and ends to make some of the components. The car is yet to be decided, but here is a preview of some of the red lights I'll be using. The chrome bezels are random unused custom parts from various kits. The smaller ones will be used as...

    Engine stalls upon braking

    Poly 318 with Carter BBD 2bbl in a '67 Fury. Car was running smoothly until a week ago. Ran fine at part throttle and cruise, but would idle really rough at a stop light. Took the carb apart, found some sediment in the fuel bowl, so I cleaned everything with carb cleaner and blew everything out...

    Steel manifold flange gasket

    Does the raised embossment on this gasket go toward the manifold flange or the pipe flange? The old gaskets are composite, so I have no basis of comparison. Thanks.

    Which carb gasket for pcv?

    I noticed a lot of carbon build up in the vacuum port of the carb where the pcv hose hooks up. The carbon was inside the port at the base of the carb. I had the split style gasket on there before. (The one at the top of the first photo.) It looks like that gasket seals the pcv port to the intake...

    About what year model is this intake? Any good? Is that crack a big deal? Worth $50? https://quadcities.craigslist.org/pts/5517612082.html

    First port job

    I would like some feedback from some of you more experienced head porters. I started this a few years ago, set it aside, and recently got back at it. I know a few things now that I didn't when I first started, and may have made a few mistakes that can't be undone. 1) I whittled the intake...

    Small engine trouble

    I have a 14 horse Briggs & Stratton OHV engine in my lawn tractor. Last fall when I was mulching leaves, one of the throttle plate screws worked loose and found its way into the cylinder. I lost all throttle control, so I pulled the carb and found that the screw was missing. There was no noise...

    Sure Grip vs. Open. How to tell?

    This unit is advertised as a Sure Grip. Wouldn't it have clutches or springs if it was a SG? I don't know how to tell them apart by looking at them. Can you guys educate me on this? Thanks...

    High Impact Bass Strings!

    Mine are Curious Yellow! They also come in Sublime, Go-Mango, and Panther Pink! OK, so DR Strings doesn't call them by those names, but that's what they are to me!

    Streak free windows?

    Who's got a good method to get streak free windows? I've tried a few things, including Windex and wiping them off with news paper. They looked good until the cool, dewy air hit them, then I could see all the streaks in them. The defroster cleared them up, but the streaks show up when the air is...

    Mystery compressor

    I have a Mopar A/C compressor PN: 3846630. The tag says R-12 refrigerant, and complies with regulations for 1962 model year. I don't know the make and model of which this compressor originates. I tried the net, but came up empty. Any issues if I were to use this for my '66 Barracuda? Can I use...

    New sending unit leaks at lock ring

    Just put a new fuel sending unit, gasket, and lock ring on my 67 Fury, and it leaks terribly at the lock ring. The ring is on as tight as it will go, and there is play in the sending unit when I grab the outlet tube and wiggle it. The gasket is sitting flush in its recess with no kinks or...

    Valve job with head gasket replacement?

    I had a conversation about a blown head gasket with a guy who owns an auto repair shop. He told me a valve job is in order EVERY time a head gasket is blown because the head of the valve gets hot, warps, and will not seal against its seat. I've replaced head gaskets on engines that have gotten...

    Year model identification?

    I could have asked, but I was busy taking pics and shooting the breeze with these guys and plum forgot. This car had been in storage for quite a while and looks to be original. Very cool find. Anyone have a clue what year model it is?

    Cool A body in Kenny Chesney video

    One of the bands I play with asked me to learn this song, so when I pulled up the video, I noticed this really clean Dart. Maybe one of his own personal cars? Kenny Chesney - You And Tequila ft. Grace Potter - YouTube

    Headlamp question

    I have a 67 Plymouth Fury with quad headlamps. My local auto parts supplier does not stock OEM style incandescent headlamps, but they carry Wagner H5001 and H5006 headlamps. These are a Halogen replacement that has the two and three prong connectors like the originals have. Are these safe to...

    Good WWII interview/documentary

    A young film maker uses old film from his great uncle's WWII film collection to use in his documentary. He contacts the the pilot after decades, and he agrees to participate in the documentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=ie3SrjLlcUY&sns=em%3E

    Guaranteed laughter: click here

    I'm replacing the timing belt on a friend's 2000 Nissan Exterra. Ten teeth were sheered at the crank, so the cams did not move with the crank when he tried to restart the vehicle. Needless to say, I had to find TDC and proper orientation for the cams. I don't have a compression gauge, so I...

    64-66 Barracuda rear glass installation questions

    I found some threads about windshield installation, but not for the rear glass. I just bought the gaskets for my 66 Barracuda, and both seem to be of good quality. I'm not ready to install yet, but would like to have the information handy when the time comes. If you have a 64-66 barracuda, and...
