    68 Barracuda fastback trunk recoil adjustment

    Fixed! I had to make a tool with a 1/2" open end wrench and an extender to rotate the spring which moved the slotted bracket once I loosened it. I was then able to get a wrench on the adjusting bolt and then lock it back down. The trunk stays open now on its own. If I had taken the inside...

    68 Barracuda fastback trunk recoil adjustment

    I've got a 68 fastback and the trunk doesn't want to stay open unless the car parked on a perfectly flat spot or on a slight downhill slope. I have to use a stick to prop it open. I read in the 68 Plymouth shop manual that the trunk recoil springs and hinges can be adjusted on the fastbacks...

    [WANTED] 68 Barracuda headlight trim bucket retainer clip

    There is a small metal clip that sits in the hole in the leading edge of fender that the headlight bucket uses as an attachment point on 67-68 barracudas. I'm looking for 2 of those. I've attached a picture of a headlight bucket showing the location of the hole the clip would sit behind...

    [FOR SALE] 1973 A body disk brakes, spindles, upper control arms

    Hi, I see you're in VA. I'm in Deale, MD. It might be better to meet somewhere half way. I boxed everything up and went to the post office this morning and to ship it to Portsmouth would about $100 because it all weights about 125 lbs. I would be willing to drive over to Port Royal on the...

    68 Barracuda Fastback Trunk spring adjustment

    My trunk on my 68 Barracuda will not stay open on it's own. I changed the rear trim to the heavier stainless steel variety and the extra weight over the stock aluminum trim is just enough to make the trunk not stay open. I have to prop it open and that's a PITA. Is there a way to adjust the...

    I'm selling a complete A-body 73 and up disk brake setup. This includes the spindles, ball joints, disks, calipers, pads, and upper control arms.

    [SOLD] 1968 Barracuda Trunk Trim and clips

    I have the top and bottom trunk trim pieces for a 1968 Barracuda and most of the mounting clips. These are decent pieces with the typical wear expected on 50 year old parts. They have a few imperfections but I think they looked good on my car. $275 + shipping from 20733 (I accept paypal)...

    Turn Signal Switch

    I figured it out and got it working. In the original post, I didn't mention I was using a Kwikwire harness because I didn't want to make it any more confusing than it already was. I went back and studied 1968 wiring diagram and the Kwikwire instructions some more and determined that I probably...

    Turn Signal Switch

    I need some help trying to understand Satan's puzzle... 1968 turn signal switches. First, I need to give some background since I've got a complex situation. I'm working on my 68 Barracuda. It came with an 8 wire turn signal switch that may be bad. I currently have no working flashers or turn...

    I noticed you had enough room between your gas tank and leaf springs to fit your tail pipes. That's awesome. My springs are moved in too (probably a little more than yours) and I had a devil of time getting enough clearance between the tank and the right leaf spring. Since I was replacing the...

    Hemi446 I think I saw your car at Carlisle a few years ago. I thought it was very impressive. Ignore the naysayers. It's a Hemi. 130 MPH is mid-low 10 second MPH if you can get it to hook and 60'. Great job!

    You are correct. That's a Stage V Rat Buster intake. It will take Edelbrocks or Holleys. The carbs are spaced further apart so they do look smaller. :) Rat Buster Intake Manifold - Mopar Muscle Magazine

    Denny, the carbs are Edelbrock 1805s - Thunder Series AVSs. They are rated at 650 cfm. The chokes have been removed on mine.

    Thanks HemiDenny. I appreciate the kind words. You are correct, the Hemi came out of my 4000lb Road Runner. I must say that I am very happy with the way the 1:1 linkage performs on the street. It is really very streetable and super easy to tune because the carbs are identical and perform the...

    [Found!] 1968 Variable speed wiper switch

    It looks like its got a 2770378 stamped on it. It doesn't have to be 100% correct numbers wise. I need one that has the same connector pattern and knob to work with my dash.

    It's running after a year of blood, sweat, and tears. Still chasing down some electrical gremlins with the wiper switch and dome lights but all in all, after having everything apart and rewired with an aftermarket harness, I'm very pleased. It's was blowing a little smoke as the headers and...

    Oh no, sscuda. I know that has to be a very difficult decision and rough process to go through. I get it though. This hobby takes a toll on us in terms of giving up family time, money, and just dealing with the constant pressure to "get it done". I wish you the best and don't be a stranger in...

    LOL - sscuda - I like the idea of the cross ram too but I'm probably looking at 3-4 grand or more for it. I did talk to Tim about it but I think for now, I'll stay put and just try to get it running. Maybe down the road if I sell off a bunch of parts or win the lottery I'll get one. :) Hey...

    Nice job, SSing! That looks much better. Thanks for the kind words too. The engine compartment was a big mess when I started. The previous owner had used a hella lotta rattle can black in there. I realize the original SS cars had black engine compartments but this was way over the top. I had to...

    Update: The Hemi is in and it $%#%# fits. I used the SS and AFX mounts and lowered the K-frame .5" per the 68 specs. It's been a battle but I'm getting really close. I built a dolly and we lowered the car down over the engine and trans. The rockers had to come off for an extra 3/8" of needed...

    73 and up disc brake line hoses

    Hi, I have a question about converting to 73 and up Single Piston Disc brakes and sway bars and the OEM style rubber brake lines. It's a little complicated so I need to give some context. So last Fall, I bought a 68 Barracuda that has that conversion. That's the good news... the bad news is...
