G’day all, My brother has just acquired a 69 Barracuda, it’s in excellent condition with no rust, almost perfect interior, drivetrain seems great as well. Is there anywhere I can download a workshop manual? Cheers Anthony

G’day everyone, I am swapping my old 318 manifold over for a new Edelbrock Performer. When I try and fit the new manifold the bolt holes on the manifold don’t line up with the ones on the heads (about a third of the hole out). I am guessing I need to machine the new manifold but how do I know...

G’day all What is the best LA engine overhaul manual? I’d prefer an electronic download if there is one available. Cheers Anthony

G’day everyone, I am in the middle of installing a Gen-IV unit in my Valiant and am also upgrading the original alternator with a high output Tuff Stuff one at the same time (the three wire, external regulated one). So onto the question - The Vintage Air instructions say to make sure there is...

G’day all, I am looking at A/C brackets for an LA block and the Vintage air site has two to choose from, “early to 1969” and “1970 to 1978”. Can anyone tell me the difference between the two? I know over here in OZ early LA blocks have the short nose cast iron water pump and later ones have...

I found the oil slinger on my 318 has been chewed by the timing chain (dual row rollmaster), itwas installed the correct way (flare to the front). So I got a new one, test fitted it (again flare to the front) but it still makes contact with the chain. Is it OK to put a shim between the chain...

G'day all I have a new Edelbrock Performer intake on my 318 with J heads. The bolt holes do not line up properly and are very difficult to torque down. I am thinking I need to mill the manifold but I have no idea by how much. The heads etc were already on the block and I have no idea...

Well I finally got my motor out and stripped and found the source of my grief. http://youtu.be/1hx2bJZWKfg It has also trashed my crank, it is already 30 thou under and the score marks from the spun bearing are quite deep. Oh well if I have to buy a new crank it might as well be...

G'day folks Has anyone installed this kit before? It is the aircon non power steer kit. Summit have sent a few boxes of bits but no instructions. The kit seems to have the power steer hardware included and and idler pulley. I know I can contact March if I had to but thought I would...

G'day everyone, I need some advice on what to do with the 360 in my VIP but first let me give you the run down on how I got here in the first place. I purchased my VIP from Vitoria and had it transported to WA (I have a strong feeling that the transport company flogged the guts out of it)...

G'day folks, Just replaced the trans in my valiant after the trans died and then I found a bent pushrod in number 2. Have replaced all the pushrods and done the valve clearance and this is the noise I get (sounds even worse in person). What are your thoughts team? I am guessing it is a rod...

G'day all Just got my new transmission installed and am about to put in a new Lokar dipstick but it doesn't look right. The end of the dipstick with the high and low markings doesn't project out of the receptacle piece (per the attached photo). Is this right? Cheers Anthony

G'day FABO's, I need to replace the trans in my Aussie Valiant and am curious as to the best way to do it. Should I take the engine and tans out as a unit, swap the trans over and slot it all back in or leave the engine in and remove the trans on its own? It is a 360 / 727 combo...

G'day everyone, I have been on the forum for a while but never really introduced myself. I live in Perth, Western Australia and have been a Mopar tragic for as long as I can remember, in fact some of my earliest memories are of my dads 1969 VF Valiant coupe (Dodge Dart equivalent). I...

G'day everyone, I am installing a Vintage Air Gen II Super unit in my Australian 1969 Valiant. Being a right hand drive I would like to install the evaporator unit reversed. What I mean be reversed is the instructions call for the side with the two demister outlets to be installed closest...

G'day from Australia! I have a recent pruchased a 1969 VF Valiant (VIP) with a 360 and a (fried) 727. This is what I found when I took the pan off.... I am looking at a COAN "PRO-STREET" AUTOMATIC W/ HEAVY DUTY "SUPER SPRAG", BILLET BAND APPLY STRUT, 5 CLUTCH DIRECT (STD. PATTERN, SMALL...
