That looks like them but I have a Dart not a Barracuda. I also know they go in in a certain order but your headliner guy should be able to figure it out.

Headers on an A body have to be the good ones or else they smash the passenger side flat on the street...

Battery terminals will be a click followed by nothing no dome light etc OR the dome light will slowly come back dim etc. The general traditional indicator is a "click" at the terminal or starter, it will be from under hood, and nothing no dash no radio no headlights. Sometimes the dome light...
