    Can someone tell me what is happening here?

    I actually do have one. I just wasn't sure what I was seeing and the section about the adjustment ring was somewhat was somewhat obscure until you guys educated me. BTW, I see your from sw Houston. I'm right here in Rosharon, just south of Pearland & Manvel.

    Can someone tell me what is happening here?

    Wow. As usual I realize how little I know about this stuff. Thanks for all the great help ! I didn't notice a lock pawl - mostly because I didn't know there should be one. Where does this bolt to? Is the adjuster 'ring' with lock available? What's a good source for all this stuff?

    Can someone tell me what is happening here?

    OK, so I had my car up on the lift and I was just checking things over when i noticed a drop of oil at the bottom of the rear brake drum plate on my 65 Cuda. I pulled the wheel and hub and found this behind the axle flange!! Any thoughts on what is happening? I'm sure I would have noticed...

    318 magnum VS 318 roller VS older 318 gas mileage

    I can't speak to the auto tranny questions but it sounds like you've already got the info you need in the last couple of posts. I also put in a new timing chain. I believe I used the harmonic balancer off the Magnum however as my old one was not great The entire front end of my old 273...

    318 magnum VS 318 roller VS older 318 gas mileage

    Agreed. I found prices all over the board when I went looking for an engine. I ended up paying $350 for it. Came out of a wrecked truck. I think the total job, paint, new intake, clutch and misc parts ended up at $1400 +/-

    318 magnum VS 318 roller VS older 318 gas mileage

    I pulled the 273 in my 65 Cuda about 1 1/2 years ago and swapped in a 2001 Magnum 5.2. Best thing I ever did! I did it for the same reasons you are thinking of it - too much $$ to rebuild the old one. The block is pretty much identical to the old one. From the old engine I reused the timing...

    how to clean gauge faces?

    I used Westley's Whitewall Cleaner and a Qtip on mine followed by plain water to neutralize the bleach. Really brightened up the numbers. Try it on a small area first though. I used orange nail polish on the needles...

    Power Steering

    OK, that makes sense to me. Now that you mention it, I see one of the notches on the backside of the pulley in the pic. OK, I'll go for it. Still trying to locate a power steering gear for it. I think I have all the other parts located. I live in TX -77583 if you want to work up shipping...

    Power Steering

    I don't think that's the right one. At least for my car. I just looked and my single groove pulley has six bolts. Mine is stamped steel, not cast. Not sure if that makes any difference.

    Power Steering

    Redfish, thanks for the good info. I think you mentioned the potential nuts and bolts issue to me in another post and I will be giving it a good look and hope to do it 'right'. I don't think I've seen the 2nd pulley. Do you happen to have a pic of the setup? How is it bolted on?

    Lock linkage

    65 cuda. I'm looking for the small piece (linkage) that connects the door lock cylinder with the lock mechanism/latch. Driver's side only needed. It's maybe a 3 inch long pc of 1/8" rod bent at the proper angles and has clips on the ends (or maybe just on one end) Anyone? Thanks

    I still have the power shaft, pulleys, and power box w/pump and brackets. I'm interested in your parts. What condition is the gearbox in? Pump? Can you send me pics? You can email me with more info and price. [email protected] Thanks

    Power Steering

    Thanks, your post helps a lot! Not sure what you mean about the column being collapsible/shear pins - can you give me anymore info on this? Is this on the top or bottom of the column? Also, are PS pumps matched to the car/gear etc? I still have the one that came off of this engine but it...

    Power Steering

    I have a 65 Barracuda with manual steering, 14" drums, V8, 4 speed on the floor. I've read a lot of old posts where people are converting from power to manual steering. What's involved to add power steering to my car? As I drive this car more and more, sometimes it's just a pain to crank...

    [SOLD] 65 Cuda Hood Latch

    Another shot I found...Not a great shot of the latch but best I can find. It's a pretty simple 'j' hook and pivots from side to side. Apologies to whoever owns this car. I just searching the internet looking for a hood latch. You would think it would be easy to find one but most engine shots...
