This is likely what I'll have to do. I'm hoping someone has been down this road and has a part number though. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have the pre-70's set up.

Without AC.

I ordered a 22" US Radiator with Triple Flow. This means they move the radiator inlet all the way to the passenger side of the radiator. Does anyone know what upper radiator hose will work with this application for a small block 360, 68 Barracuda?

Good idea, but I believe my factory radiator won't work with the different pump style. I'd like to use the Federal pump for original cosmetics, but I remember hearing the Borgeson unit likes the Saginaw better. Any one know how well the Federal pump works with the Borgeson?

Sounds like my issue is with the water pump design. I have a 68 Barracuda. It's originally a 318 car with a Federal pump. The Saginaw pump and bracketry aren't compatible with the current set up. I'll post a new question regarding using the Federal pump with the Borgeson unit. I've heard...

Thank you! Hopefully this picture will clear things up. If the issue is with the brackets, I'll reach out Bouchellon.

I can't see it because it's at the restoration shop. I'm being told that the fitting directly on the back of the Saginaw pump hits the head. I have a call into Bergman, but he's not in until tomorrow. Thought I'd see if we're doing something wrong or there's a work around.

Hi, I bought a complete power steering system from Bergman with Saginaw pump and brackets, but it doesn't work with Edelbrock heads. Anyone have a work around? Thanks, Eric

Looking for original 1968 318/small block valve covers or similar, like the ones in the picture. Thanks, Eric

1968 Barracuda - When attaching the radiator, should there be anything between the metal radiator supports and the radiator? Like a gasket or rubber vibration dampener? Or just bolt it on and it's good to go? Thanks, Eric

Solved: Contact RMS and buy their Wilwood kit or you can buy just the MC pushrod adapter that's the correct length, works with the Wilwood MC and has the right size bolt hole for the stock brake pedal bolt. Here's the link to RMS: 7/8 Bore Aluminum Master Cylinder Kit, 62-76 A-body

I've read some headers, like TTIs, require the engine to be in a certain position. You may need to shim the motor mounts.

I have a 68 Barracuda with auto trans and manual brakes. Doing the full Wilwood disc conversion with Wilwood master cylinder. With the Wilwood master, what pushrod works? I see one from Dr. Diff, but I don't see how the rod will stay in the master (the grommet diameter is too little). I...

Yes. I really want the stock appearance.

I agree! That's exactly what I figured it would cost too. But $860 seems really high. Maybe I need a new shop...

I tried the heat suggestion, but it didn't make a difference for me. I also tried tying it up over night to compress the seam along the length of it. No luck. Any other suggestions? I saw a picture of someone else's on here where they had cut holes in the ends. Maybe to clear the hood bump...

I have a 68 Barracuda that originally had a 318 engine. The plan is to build a 408 next time around. I want to make sure my radiator can handle this. I brought it to local and reputable radiator guy and was quoted $860 to re-core and add a row (make it a 3 row). Also a new lower tank will be...

I have a 68 Barracuda and I can't close the hood when I installed the new radiator hood seal. It's from Year One so I think it's made by Soft Seal, but not positive. I have it installed correctly with the opening facing forward. Is there a trick to getting these to work?

I need the special bolt that attaches the brake lever to the master cylinder pushrod. It looks like this. Thanks, Eric

Thanks, Bill. I thought I had my 68 Barracuda listed in my signature, but I guess not. Any how, my pedal assembly looks exactly like the picture above. I think your explanation for the 64 & 65 years may apply still. I'll have a better look tonight.

Is it possible to do this inside the car? I'd like to clean up the brake lever and paint it. And how does it come out? I see a small nut on one side. Does that allow the pivot shaft to slide out?

I'm going with Wilwood's front & rear disc brake conversion and master cylinder. Should the proportioning valve go before or after the distribution block/safety switch? I like Wilwood's master cylinder with the prop valve attached. However, my concern is that having the prop valve before the...

Thanks for confirming

68 Barracuda with manual 10" drums. I know I have a distribution block/safety switch, but was there a factory proportioning valve? Does the distribution block/safety switch perform and type of proportioning? Thanks, Eric

I'm trying to figure out a parking brake cable solution for the Wilwood rear disc conversion. Wilwood offers a kit (http://www.wilwood.com/PDF/DataSheets/ds646.pdf), but I'm not sure how to connect it to the intermediate cable. Has anyone found a solution? Thanks, Eric 68 Barracuda

Weekend cruiser/show car.

I bought new leaf springs, shackles, lower shock mounts and hardware. Looking for suggestions on how to protect these parts from rust and make them look good. I've read a lot about POR-15 and Eastwood rust encapsulator, but I think those may be overkill because these parts aren't rusted...

I was using a straight edge from the axle flange (flush side where the wheel seats) to the outside of the bearing retainer (the side that seats against the axle housing). My axles aren't 28" either. They're 27.75". Is this weird? The axle pilot is about .25", but I'm pretty sure that...

Seems simple, but I'm coming up with 2.125" and everything I've read seems to suggest it's 2.36" or 2.50". It's a small bolt pattern 8.75 A-body rear-end. Was there ever a 2.125" flange?
