    K/H Caliper Lines and Bracket Correct?

    ‘68 Barracuda. Converting to front discs. Hard to find a good picture of the line/bracket for the fluid supply to the caliper (service manual calls it a “jumper tube”). This is the left side caliper with the line and bracket mounted the only way that makes sense to me. Wanted to make sure...

    How to cut/remove brake line armor

    I need to replace a short section of the rear brake line. But first I need to remove the factory spring armor so I can cut the line and have room for the flare nut. Any tips for doing this? A pair of dikes or flush cuts and carefully try to snip one coil without damaging the line? This...

    Drum to Disc MC Issues

    ‘68 Barracuda. Pulled the factory drum/drum MC to replace it with a new drum/disc unit for my front disc conversion. The forum recommends the Raybestos MC36406 as this a non power assist swap and this MC has the desired 15/16” bore. (This thing is huge compared to the original!) However, the...

    Best procedure lugs into hub/rotor

    Got two mint KH SBP hubs and a set of mid 90’s new USA made rotors to assemble with new lugs (Dorman 610-130). Not sure of best procedure to do this. Should I use a press to push them in one at a time through both components simultaneously or use a hammer and punch? Already got new races in and...

    Are These Lugs Swaged To The Drum?

    Pretty sure my 10” front drums (‘68 Barrucuda) are out of round, so I’ve been wanting to replace them. Rock Auto currently has drums in stock. All the LH lugs on my car were already changed to RH lugs when I got it, but the drums are still firmly attached to both front hubs. I’m not sure if...

    Hole in fender under battery tray

    ‘68 fastback barracuda. Doing some cleanup in the engine bay when I was reacquainted with this hole in the fender right under the battery tray. Forgot it was there many years ago. There was clearly some rust damage right around it and the metal right next to it is kinda thin. Is there supposed...

    Voltage Regulator Malfunction???

    So I was being proactive and while the 318 in my 68 Barracuda was warming up, I stuck a voltmeter on the battery terminals. I was showing 15.06 - 15.13 volts. Pretty sure that’s too high. Shouldn’t it be more like 14.2 volts? I don’t want to cook a battery - they’re getting pretty spendy...

    Tire date code

    Trying to locate the date code on some tires. Nothing seems to match the pictures I’ve found. Here are two pics of the only possibilities I can find. Either these tires are from 1994 or 2002 - I think. Anybody confirm or deny? Thanks.

    KH piston dust seal fixable?

    Finally got all the pistons out of the calipers. However, two of the rings that retain the dust seal boots came with them. Are theses press fit? Are they fixable? Bores are pretty good until just past the seal, then they’re pretty rusty and that’s why the retainer pulled off. FYI, to use...

    What proportioning valve is this?

    My 68 Barracuda came with the brake parts to do a front disc swap when I bought it. Everything was pulled from a 67 Formula S. I’m trying to figure out the proportioning valve stuff. Attached is a picture of what came with the 67 stuff. Is the prop valve the smaller boxy thing? What is the...

    Don’t want to, but have to sell. Help on price please.

    I’m sorry and sad to say, due to a recent stroke and a series of heart attacks I didn’t even know about (the heart attacks) , I’ll be selling my ‘68 Barracuda Fastback. I would really appreciate some guidance on its value. I’ll try to put a pic up. It’s not a high dollar concourse car. Here’s...

    Were moving (major suk) and I’ve been holding onto this heater box from a non ac 70 Dart as the one in my non ac 68 Fastback has some minor issues. Are they interchangeable or should I donate it to someone who can use it? If I end up keeping it, it’ll be e beyotch to pack so the movers don’t f...

    7.25 Flange Gaskets-Do They Exist?

    To fix my diff problem I have to pull the axles. FSM says it is imperative to to replace the axle inner seal and both gaskets. Seals are available everywhere. However, the foam gasket and the embossed metal gasket don't seem to be available. I've searched the forum and googled fruitlessly...

    Rearend Took a Dump. How Bad Is It?

    I first noticed something wasn't right when I turned corners from a stop and it sounded like I had run over a big pop can. Didn't know what to make of it. Till yesterday. Turning right from a stop sign, there were these two SEVERE bangs from the rear of the car. I thought at first the guy...

    Am I Gettin' The Neutral Finger?

    This might be a stupid question but it's the last thing I do before the pan goes back on for good (hopefully). ATSG says to put the neutral switch in and then "center the neutral finger" before torqing the valve body down. Does my finger look centered? It's a 1 wire switch and I get...

    Valve Body Screws Left Out?

    I was finishing up putting the valve body (904 )back together after installing a TF2 shift kit when I noticed there weren't as many screws as there should be. I didn't lose 'em either. I'm sorta uber anal when taking something new apart, so as each screw came out it was immediately cleaned...

    Minimum 904 Endplay Problem?

    I may have a clearance issue. Suspended the trans and and got a max endplay of .044, which is acceptably in the middle of the range (.022 - .091). Could definitely hear the "clunks" on the up and down stops. Good so far. With the dial indicator still zeroed on the input shaft, I then...

    Checking 904 Endplay

    Nearly ready to finish up my 1st 904 rebuild but have a question or two about measuring the input shaft endplay. Our resident tranny gurus all suggest standing the tranny on the tailshaft and then measuring the input shaft endplay. My question is does the tailshaft housing need to be bolted up...

    "Servo Flop" - TransGo Fix

    Was going through the instructions in my just arrived TF-2 shift kit and there was this supplemental page, not part of the original stapled 7 pages which addressed "servo-flop". I have three questions about this mod: Is this a real issue? The TF-2 kit is meant for either a 904 or 727 but...

    Tailshaft bushing clocking

    Using the search function does provide answers. Unfortunately, there is a difference of opinions. There is a wider slot at the top (12 o'clock) position with a ridge in the middle. There is also a slot at the lower right (5 o'clock) position. One person says the oil hole in the bushing...

    Rear band questions

    Hi guys, I'm finalizing my parts list for my 904 rebuild and have questions on rear bands. My tranny is a '71 so there are some quirks. First what's the benefit (or not), of using a double wrap 2" wide rear band vs a single rigid band? Secondly, any downside to using relined rear bands. New...

    Now I know why 904 was having issues

    Sigh. First tranny rebuild and this is what I found. I've owned this car (68 FB w/mild build on a teen) for about five years and have put about 9,500 miles on it before I started having tranny issues. I dropped the pan about 200 miles ago to see what I could see. No metal in pan, filter...

    904 Rear Servo Arm Removable??

    I took the plunge into the mystical world of Chrysler automatic transmissions, having never worked on any automatic tranny. I have everything disassembled except for one thing - the arm the rear servo moves to apply the rear band. Everything else came out of the case in preparation for a good...

    To do before car goes up for tranny pulling

    Haven't done this before so lemme know if I'm forgetting anything. My checklist to do while the car ('68 FB with 904) is on the ground and I can reach the topside stuff. Don't want to find out the hard way I missed something: Remove neg bat cable Remove dizzy cap and rotor Remove oil...
