    66 Barracuda Floor Console

    I have a '65 Barracuda, automatic on the floor. Is there any reason a '66 Barracuda (or Dart) floor console would not fit this car? Anybody have experience with this swap?

    Right Angle Oil Filter - NEED HELP!!!

    Okay - I'm stumped............... I'm putting Spitfire headers on my '65 273 Barracuda. The driver-side header went on with no major problem, but the passenger-side is a different story. I have a Mopar Package P5249624 right-angle oil filter base. Surprisingly, it really doesn't look much...

    Spitfire Installation

    I've got a couple of questions for anyone who's done a header installation on an early A-Body. I'm in the early stages of installing Spitfire headers on my 273 '65 Barracuda. I've modified the tranny crossmember, and I've removed the passenger-side exhaust manifold. I've taken all the bolts...

    Charging Problem

    I have a charging problem and I'm not sure how to diagnose it. During normal daylight driving conditions, the ammeter guage in my 65 Barracuda indicates the battery charging rate is "stable" - that is, the needle is centered between the charge and discharge regions. I can drive all day long...

    1965 273 Heads

    Anybody have a pair of heads from a '65 273 4-bbl? And maybe the cam, as well? My 273 was a factory 2-bbl setup. I was lucky enough to find a vintage 4-bbl Edelbrock DB4 aluminum intake - which fits nicely and looks pretty cool - and I put a new 500cfm Edelbrock carb on it. Performance...

    PCV Questions

    I guess this will prove that I know just enough to be dangerous.......... About a year ago, I put Edelbrock valve covers on my stock 1965 273 V8. The old PCV didn't work on the new covers, so I bought a new one that did. The old oil breather cap didn't work either, but I didn't buy a new...

    XHD Leaf Springs

    Last fall, I replaced the factory leaf springs on my 65 Barracuda with a set of MoPar HXD springs - which made the right side of the car sit about one and one-half inches higher than the left. This was somewhat distressing, but assuming that the new springs would "sag" in a few weeks (and...
