Good afternoon, On my '65 Barracuda, it is time to replace my steering arms/ lower ball joints. Unfortunately the ones I purchased for a '65 are similar shape but are too small. Those on the car are 10" long, the wrong ones are 9". I believe the front end was beefed up a bit. The discs are 11"...

Hello All in FABO, I have finally removed damaged clutch out of my '65 Barracuda. Found damaged throw-out bearing and 3 damaged springs on the clutch plate.) Now, the question is: "What would be a good clutch to use for this Barracuda with a 360 (.03 over), very aggressive cam, and a Hurst...

I have never replaced a clutch or removed a transmission from this era car ('65 Barracuda, 360 with 4 speed, And Doug headers. Does the trans typically have to be removed from the car to change the clutch, or can it be slid back enough, without dropping if exhaust is lowered and drive shaft...

Hello All, I have a 360 with 4-speed in my '65. While driving locally I pushed in the clutch pedal to shift and felt a clunk or pop. At that point the pedal became more difficult to depress, and I struggled to get the car into gear and limp back home. Once home I can not shift into any gear. It...

Hello FABO, I am pulling the engine out of my '63 Valiant, leaving the automatic trans in the car. Someone suggested that I had to remove the bolts holding the fly wheel to the engine. But shouldn't the fly wheel and torque converter slide right off the transmission spline with the engine...

Hello all, I am not sure how old the rear springs on my '65 Barracuda 'S' might be. The car seems to have a bit of a low stance in the rear, and I am wondering how much the springs might be sagging. Also, they are not the correct, stiffer 'S' springs. Would somebody have a similar car with newer...

Hello all, When I accelerated my '63 Valiant to pass another car, the /6 225 engine suddenly began a horrible clanking/ banging noise as it kept running but with only a little power. I pulled off the road, but just as I was about to turn off the ignition (the engine was idling very loud and...

Shifting to another topic. Can some one suggest the best and easiest way to put a slight lift to the tail of my '65 Barracuda. Most of the aftermarket stuff I have found seems too tall. I am only looking for 1' or so.

I have been trying to figure out how the rear defogger worked in the '65 barracuda's, and what equipment was needed. While doing some research regarding the defogger, I learned that, in the '65 Barracuda it was only available as a dealer add-on. As I understand it there was a blower somewhere in...

Hello FABO, For a 1965 barracuda, it seems that there are two different shapes for the tilt-up trunk separation panel. One type extends on the right side to enclose the quarter panel void. The other type does not have that extension. I know the 'S' has a kidney shape for the wider tire. Did the...

Well, my '64 Signet, with a 318 has been running beautifully. Until yesterday. After about 10 minutes of driving, while ideling at a stop, the motor just stopped (just as if the key were turned off). It wouldn't start again immediately. But, about 15 minutes later, it started normally and ran...

Could someone educate me on the purpose for the small, jagged hole that is punched in most, or all of the early fender tags. I don't know if they are on all fender tags or only certain A-body years. They aren't all the same shape punch. Wondered if that indicated differant factories.

Hello FABO, My 1963 Valiant has been retro-fit with power steering at some point. I replaced many needed ball joints, tie rod ends, pitman arm. Then had an allignment done (by someone who understood the old school cars). So the car tracks well, but when I turn a sharp or gentle corner in...

I purchased new upper and lower ball joints for my daughters '63 Valiant, but the parts don't match. The shape is correct but the lower ball joints on the car are threaded where it bolts to the frame, but the new parts are not (they are designed for a through bolt and nut). Also the upper...

Could someone let me know if the manual steering box from a 1963 valiant 200 is the same as that of a 1965 valiant barracuda "S". The one off the '63 is a bit less sloppy and I was considering switching it into the "S". They look very similar and have a similar ratio (5.25-5.5 from...

Hello FABO, Does someone know what shift knob came with a 65 Barracuda 4speed. My car is an 'S' with Hurst shifter and black interior. Were all the knobs white, or did some come black to match the interior? The floor trim plate has the shift pattern, so did the knobs come plain, with no shift...
