    Do I have the right parts?

    I have a '69 GT convertible /6 car that someone has cobbled a 340 into, homemade motor mounts. fool even left the 7.25 rear in place. here we go, I understand that the 273 motor mounts changed somewhere in the '60s. I have read 65DartGTConv's thread on removing the K member dated 10/2012, love...

    1/4 panels

    caw440, yes they fit. recently put a set of quarter skins from YO on my '69 S convertible. they fit well, they were cut and welded along the uppermost body line before the break to horizontal. they did take a small bit of adjusting, have your trunk floor extensions and such in first, measure...

    Ford Transmission Help (Sorry My Truck Is Not A Mopar At This Time...)

    KP, IF you drive it anymore, lock out OD. sounds a lot like a Crown Vic I had. check the control cable at the intake plenum. mine had broken loose from the accelerator linkage and acted a lot as you describe, delayed shifts, overdrive just dropped into neutral. was told I was lucky for not...

    Convertible top adjustment.

    By any chance has it been stored in a hot garage for an extended period, top down? Mine was and evidently the top material shrunk, stopping the top about 2 inches short of the header. I gently pulled it manually both with the pump running and without, it still didn't come down all the way and I...

    Show us your Convertible Dart's

    beautiful car, but backwards from what I used to see on the streets around here in Ohio a long time ago. fellow had an early Barracuda with a Dart nose and 64 Dart tail lights sectioned into the quarters. maybe I was just used to the vertical tail lights, but round ones didn't do the fastback...

    9in rear drum rakes; do 7 1/4 and 8 3/4 interchange???

    Guys, I don't know what was done, but I bought my 69 GTS well used and altered back in 1980. it has 9" brakes on the 8.75 rear. I have had it stored and am just now beginning to work on driving it. it has the 10" fronts which will go away for a 73-76 disc swap. I will need new rear axles for the...

    fuel gauge sending unit

    hey folks, rather than pull the interior out of my 65 Barracuda to find out, I will just ask. is there an access panel somewhere in the floor? I have found OHM readings to check it, but certainly don't want to drop the tank if there is an easy way. the gauge just plain doesn't move. hoping it is...

    Changing your diff?

    OK. I agree that installing the 3rd member then measuring makes the best sense, after all these years who knows what might no be in factory specs. not intending to hijack this thread, but my question fits "Changing Your Diff." I have hunted and somehow have missed width measurements on these...

    Happy to find you folks

    can't believe I said south EASTERN Ohio. Dayton is in south WESTERN Ohio. see what happens when you get older? and the mind is not the first thing to go away.

    head changes over the years

    Folks, just bought a 65 Barracuda \6 automatic car. the engine is in great shape except for having the far back exhaust manifold stud broken off. using a screwdriver, I feel a bit of the stud still sticking out. I plan on pulling the intake/exhaust manifolds to see if I can be lucky enough to...

    Happy to find you folks

    plans for the 65 Barracuda, plans did you say? I have a head full of plans, but unfortunately my pockets are inside out right now. no, truthfully, I plan on keeping it basically stock, my son claimed the 69 GTS years ago for when I am gone and the daughter always liked the fastback Barracudas...

    Ma Mopar's 5 speed OD

    yes, I had considered a T5. my reasons for asking about the manual Chrysler 5 speed came from several angles though. cost- I know where to find one cheap; being all MoPar made me think that no adapters would be needed since the V6 was a derivative of the 318, I suspected that that the bell...

    Ma Mopar's 5 speed OD

    didn't even think about the automatic when I wrote the question and I have one in my 03 Durango 2 wheel drive. isn't that a Benz derived piece? anyhow I was speaking about the manual, hoped for OD, guess I'll stick to my A833 and 3.23s. how about the version of the 833 that is 3+OD? any...

    Ma Mopar's 5 speed OD

    have spotted a 5 speed OD trans behind a V6 in a van. worth anything? will it hold under normal driving behind a mild 340 (is there such a thing as mild?)? bigger question, will it fit under a 67-69 A body floor pan? as in size around, length, shifter position? call me a dreamer, but I want it...
