    Lubricate cam bearing od at install

    Hi everyone, doing some research as I'm installing new cam bearings on my 400 stroker. The question i have, is who is lubing the cam bearing outside diameter before installing? It feels like the bearings being oversized to achieve a press fit, it shouldn't matter? The input I've read almost...

    Leaking water pump... But not at weep hole.

    Hi everyone... I figured I'd like a little feedback regarding my Barracuda and a leak that has sprung up. 1st, the car is a 67 Notch with a near bone stock 273. I have added a Champion aluminum rad and a small block Mopar clutch fan. It also runs a 185 t-stat. The cooling system now has run...

    New Champion rad - now painted and my 1st thoughts

    [SOLD] Carter AFB Comp Series

    Ok cleaning out the garage and I came across a Carter Competition Series AFB carb and Carter tune kit. The bad, this sucker has been sitting a long time and I would think needs new gaskets.

    New guy question - '67 Barracuda fan shroud?

    I feel like this is a stupid question, here we go anyway... I have a '67 Barracuda and I've been wanting to increase airflow to the radiator and obviously a big part of that is a shroud. My car doesn't have one. Did '67 come with fan shrouds? I see re-pops for 68-69 but nothing for 67. Car is...
