    5.2 Magnum fan clutch

    Anybody know how to remove fan clutch and pulley from 5.2 Magnum water pump. I thought you turned the hex shaft, but I took the water pump off, put the impeller in the vise and turned with a gretbig crescent wrench. I just turns.

    [SOLD] Prop Valve

    Anybody got a good proportioning valve for front discs, rear drums? I need one for a 68 Barracuda. Forget it! I'll find one somewhere else. I'm tired of the rude know-it-alls and junk dealers that stick their noses in other peoples' business when it is not wanted!

    rear differential confusion

    I have a 68 Barracuda w/ a 7 1/4 rear end. I'm converting to BBP for front discs and my Magnum 500's. I don't like the idea of drilling the axle flanges for BBP. Let me say for sure, there are no salvaged Mopars in this area and I really don't need the strength and expense of 8 3/4. I looked...

    I'm currently looking at buying a sway bay on here. The seller advertised it as a 68 Dart at first. I would be putting it on a 68 B'cuda. So all is well.

    Another "what's the difference between"

    Anybody know what's the difference between Mopar Magnum 500 wheels and Ford Magnum 500 wheels? Can I put center caps from Mopar on a Ford rim? Are the rings any different.

    Wow - I took my 68 B'cuda dash apart today and removed the old am/fm cassette player radio/stereo. I thought - well, that won't be going back in.

    Chrysler 8 1/4

    I'm almost afraid to ask! If a Jeep Cherokee has a 8 1/4 Chrysler rear-end, what would the possibilities of it fitting in a 68 a-body? The fella selling it says it has a Dana 35 w/3.55 gear. Also. the flange-to-flange measurement is real close to my b'cuda. The b'cuda measures in at approx. 54"...

    Help!

    I've got a 5.2 magnum that I'm trying to get the fan clutch assembly removed. What do I need - a friggin' special spanner wrench to hold the pulley?

    magnum wheels

    Would a set of Magnum/Charger RT wheels fit on a 68 Barracuda. Currently, I have the 4" SBP and 10" drums, but am planning to upgrade to discs and 4.5" bolt pattern. These wheels are gunmetal grey and would really look good on my maroon 68. Is there a different offset and how does the older...
