    '66 Broadcast Sheet Build Codes

    Finally found the remains of my 66 Barracuda's broadcast sheet. After piecing it back together, I've been able to decode most of the information, but I can't find any reference to the 'build codes' that I assume identify the original mechanical equipment. I'm especially interested in the...

    Be aware of 66 Valiant/Barracuda lenses on eBay

    Recently bought a set of new reproduction upper tail light lenses for my 66 Barracuda from Micas y Mas on eBay. Anyone who's shopped for 'em know these are hard to find, and the guy had reasonably good feedback, so I went against my gut and won the auction. First of all, seller contacts me...

    7 1/4 differential drain - 8 point female?

    Decided to change the differential oil in my 66 Barracuda. After waiting three days (!) for the gasket to arrive, I am now faced with removing the drain plug so I can refill it. The problem is that I've never seen a tool to fit this plug: I can't find a replacement plug or cover...

    Parking brake light? Emergency flashers? Standard in 66?

    Reading through the owner's manual on my 66 Barracuda, they show both a parking brake warning light and emergency flashers as standard equipment. I have neither in place. Were they optional? Anyone have a picture of them installed to share? Thanks in advance.

    66 Barracuda fender-mount turn indicator - screws?

    Finally got a right side turn signal indicator housing to go with the left one I found at a swap meet. It even came with the lens and retainer plate! Unfortunately, it doesn't have either the screw to hold the lens retainer plate into the housing or the screw to hold the complete assembly to...

    Can't find a heater core that fits - 66 Barracuda

    Neither the O'Reilly nor the NAPA replacement heater cores fit the heater box in my 66 Barracuda. Both look very close to the original but the pipes won't clear the holes enough to seat the core's frame. Anyone have any suggestions for an aftermarket core they've used successfully? I don't...

    Seat foam for 66 Barracuda

    Anyone have any experience with Tamraz's on eBay? Every other source I've seen (like Dante's or Legendary) say their foam needs modification to fit right. When I asked for details, the recommendation was to have an upholstery shop handle it. The Tamraz's looks very different, but it's pricey...

    For trade or sale: 66 Barracuda fender-mount turn indicator

    Picked up two '66 Barracuda fender-mount turn signal indicators yesterday at a swap meet, even though they are for the same side. Since I'm missing both of mine, I'd prefer to trade someone for the other half of the set, but willing to sell if someone needs just the one. These are the...

    Progress made, but still no brake light on left

    Finally finished installing the new turn signal switch on my 66 Barracuda, which solved quite a few problems: turn signal now works correctly, steering wheel has all its pieces and doesn't flop around when turning, signal even turns off when you turn the wheel and the horns haven't turned...

    Anyone install the cancel cam on a steering wheel??

    I'm rebuilding the steering column internals in my 66 Barracuda. Now that I have a new turn signal switch, I've located all (most?) of the missing parts and epoxied the steering wheel hub back together, but I'm having a helluva time getting the turn signal cancel cam (spring clip that goes on...

    Are these connectors available?

    Replaced the turn signal switch in my 66 Barracuda and found that the previous owner had once done the same, but didn't really finish the job correctly. They spliced the wires into the connector block but broke the tabs that hold it together. Are these available new or reproduced? I couldn't...

    66 Dart front turn signal lens

    Bought this lens for my 66 Barracuda, turns out the donor was an export Valiant, so it's correct for a Dart. Don't know if it applies to other years or not, so caveat emptor. It's in relatively good shape, with a few stress cracks that should be visible in the picture. $10 for the lens...

    Brought home my 66 Barracuda an hour ago!

    Greetings from Escondido, California, near San Diego. Just brought home a 1966 Barracuda I found on Craigslist. Slant Six + TorqueFlite. Needs paint, a few trim bits, seats reupholstered/carpet, some tuneup work and probably brake shoes, but hasn't been modified or hacked beyond holes cut in...
