With all the pics on this site, I just might figure out which cable goes to which actuator rod. My 68' shop manual shows the defrost cable bracket to the left of the dual vent tubes, mine is on the right facing the box in the same direction. For now, my question is, how to pop the cable clamps...

I took the non-AC airbox out to rebuild over a year ago and finally got to it this week. My question is about the 2 black metal plates for the heater core tubes. One is larger with larger holes centered in the plate. The holes of the smaller one are offset, closer to the top, or bottom, as the...

my 68' Barracuda dash/bezel piece is ready to paint. I have the Adhesion Promoter and was wondering once I apply it to the plastic, how long do I have until I must apply the paint? This is a 3 color part, silver, black, and chrome with clear plastic gauge covers. The chrome will be the trickiest...

68' Barracuda instrument cluster: as posted already, the only thing wrong with it is the black paint is faded and flaking off and the chrome is mostly gone. Mechanically, it is fine. I have sanded it all down to the plastic. Having painted the glove box trim, I realize the chrome won't quite be...

I need to take out the entire bezel restore/repaint. I don't want to take out gauges and so forth. I took out the screws and it moves out at the top but not the bottom. What else do I need to disconnect? I am hoping not instrument cluster. The shop manual and other two books I bought are not...

I have the correct blsck and chrome but not the right silver. It serms to be satin not a gloss and very light. Thanks. PS I searched web with no luck.

Two brothers are locked in a debate. One says the Chevy 327 always beat the Mopar 340 (and even the 440). This has probably been done before but, are there any articles/documentation anyone can point me to with stock 327 4bbl versus stock 340 4bbl, A-Body to help settle this or at least allow...

Still working on the 68 Barracuda. Thought I was done with much of the work until I climbed under the dash. Who put all that rust up in there? Anyway, I took off the brake pedal, sanded it down, painted it etc. My question is this, it has a tube that fits over a pivot shaft. The shaft is coated...

I am ready to put on the new Pitman and Idler arms for my 68 Barracuda (power steering). I was wondering if the bolt stud portion of each, that attaches to the center link, should be facing up or down? I have a shop manual that appears to show it one way for the A body and different for the B...

the section of the car covered by the rear of the front fender where it meets the door had filler around the seams. I could see rust so I pulled this stuff up and yep, rust. got it. The right side has filler but with paint on it. Should I pull that up too for a look see? Also, on the right side...

I was able to get the hood hinges off my Barracuda by prying them off with a screw driver. I tried pliers but that only made them tighter. Okay, big advice question. The hinge consists of a coiled section of flat metal that ends with a piece wrapped around a large pin. I haven't taken off the...

I searched the forum but didn't see this information. I apologize up front if it has been answered already. My hood is off (68 Barracuda) and I need to remove the hinges. I see 3 retaining pins(?) on each side. They are round so I was wondering how I get them off without damaging them. Thanks.

when I took the fenders off my 68 Barracuda, I found a dried later of what looked like tannish colored dried sandwich spread along the edges of the engine bay where the fenders bolt to this section. Was this supposed to be a cushion between the fender and the engine bay? I sanded and ground it...

I am almost done sanding the entire bottom of my 68 Barracuda from fron to rear (including entire engine bay, inner front fender area, the fenders are off, frame rails, floor pans, you name it) and encountered mostly surface rust. Here is what I have not been able to get at, the inside of the...

I don't have the equipment at this time to take and post a picture. I figure if anyone knows what I'm talking about, they will be able to help me anyway. I need to take the gas filler tube out of my 68 Barracuda. But, unlike my other Mopars, this one does not have Phillips head screws. Instead...

Mine is in parts so I can't do a good comparison. I have a 68 notch back Barracuda in UU1 blue. A friend has a 67 in B3 blue. He hasn't had time to come by house and we live in different towns. I saw his after it was repainted and compared it to some parts I've taken from mine plus pictures of...

I took my hoold latch bracket out, and THEN remembered to take pictures of everything. I thought the latch and spring went on the right (left faing the radiator) but that does not line up with the hood striker. Can anyone post a picture of this piece in a car? Thanks

My 68 Barracuda is eventually going from a slant six to a 360. I have a 22" radiator from my 66 Sport Fury that had a poly 318. A third row was added to the radiator. Will this work in the Barracuda as far as cooling goes? Will it be enough? I know I have to check the fit as well but, after...

I have the typical A body (68 Barracuda 9" drums 14" wheels, small bolt pattern) that I want to convert to front disc brakes and 15 wheels. Classic Industries carries a complete kit, including upper control arms, spindles, etc., to make the swap. Add power brake booster and it is $900. While...

I tried Wheel Vintiques, their website was not very responsive and they didn't answer my email. I had the same "luck" with Specialty Wheels. I simply wanted to know if anyone makes chrome rallye wheel in 15x6? If not, I'm moving on to my second and third choices (Torque Thrust D and Keystone...

First off, was the 273 4 bbl still an option for the 68 Barracuda? I'll get back to that in a moment. I was given a book that was supposed to be authoritative on MOPARS: Quentin Wilson's Classic American Cars. On page 151, it has a picture of a 68 Charger...painted purple. R/T badging in the...

Several of you have given me great ideas for wheel/tire combos and even for my 68 Barracuda and convinced me to go from 14" to 15". I checked the tires on it now, 205 70R 14s. Man do they look small. Anyway, I contacted BF Goodrich because I've always liked the T/A Radial, and asked them about...

I know this gets asked alot, and, at the risk of having a piston chucked my way, I have one more. I have a 68 Barracuda that eventually goes from slant six to 360 V8. It has 14" stock wheels, small bolt pattern. For tires, I don't want to fit the largest ones I can on the car. I want to go...

A friend has a 67 Barracuda 273 he restored. I tried to get him to modify it, 4 bbl, headers, at least dual exhaust but no luck. He has a black air cleaner with a snorkel. It got me wondering, was there ever a 273 pie tin or just a decal that went on air cleaners? Thanks

According to Year One, a non S model Barracuda with a 318 V8, would have: 1. Barracuda name script 2. Barracuda fish symbol 3. And...the red and black Barracuda V8 emblem Is that correct? I was under the impression that the six banger models have the Barracuda Script and fish under it but the...

I have a 68 UU1 blue Barracuda that will either be repainted the same color or turquoise. A 360 will eventually go in place of the slant six. For reasons stated on another thread, I plan to tell my Chevy neighbors its a 318. I even have the 318 Four Barrel pie tin. Problem is, the pie tin is...

I like sleepers and when I finally get a 360 for my 68 Barracuda, I plan to put a 318 Four Barrel pie tin on the air cleaner and tell everyone its a 318. Considering if all goes well it will have headers, aluminum intake, maybe aluminum heads and all, will I be able to pass it off as a 318? I...

My 68 Barracuda came with a slant six. Eventually a V8 will go in (360). I am toying with the idea of making a Formula S clone. My car has nice hood inserts but with no engine callout/Formula S designation. Does anyone make a reproduction of this part? I've found some for sale but not in the...

Maybe if all goes well this summer, I might be able to repaint the engine bay and trunk of the 68 Barracuda. I've done it before with paint from spray cans and it worked okay. While looking at rattle cans on line, I noticed each offers clear coat as well. At what point would one apply clear coat...

My 68 Barracuda is UU1 a very light blue metallic. I'm thinking about changing the color (Q5 Seafoam Turquoise). This is down the road a ways, but when I get ready to have it painted, the more prep work I've done in advance, the less it will cost me. My guess is that to change the color, the...
