Hi Jefroa, Saw your friend request and added you (after I figured out how). The only info on your CP says you’re near Jacksonville at zip code 28540. Since that’s close to Camp Lejeune, I am assuming you’re a fellow Marine. I haven’t posted to this board in a long time - since I purchased a...

Snops says its true :toothy10:

It doesn’t look like the Mopar Alley web site has been updated since the Christmas party. The Rally is held in June at Ohlone College, Fremont CA. I can talk to the guys about updating web site at next months meeting.

It’s likely we had the same idea at the same time – I originally wanted two resonators but as I’m sure you know, there is barely enough room for exhaust pipe. :-D

Thanks Cuda 64 I think I found the Coil Over manufacture and a spanner wrench that should work. Coil overs = TCI All American Coil-Over Spanner Wrench = AFCO # 20110 Adjustable design fits any brand coil-over nut. Spanner features rubber grip for easy use. Makes Adjusting coil-overs...

Coil over Identification I am taking a shot in the dark here but my Barracuda shares the garage with my Model A Hot Rod project. I have been trying to identify the manufacturer of the coil over shock, so I can purchase a spanner wrench. I know many of you guys have work in the automotive...

If you do use the hood bumper position for your hood pins your hood will likely vibrate. I solved this by installing the bumpers back on the pins at the right height. Nice flag Cudaspaz

It should honk until you attach the spring over the Nut & bolt (tape on the spring will help hold the spring in place) then place the cap over the spring and push down over the collar with the wire tab (cap has 3 or 4 indentations and collar with tab has matching holes) then gently insert cap...

Are you certain the locks are actually defective? I had to wiggle the key in both the ignition and doors on my 65 Barracuda. I took my old key to a good locksmith and he was able to cut a new key set that now works flawlessly and very little cost. You can get MOPAR key blanks from ebay if...

UPDATE: I found another spelling in my FSM, in a note that pointed to the Parking Cam and spring assembly. The note said Led Plate not Lead Plate when I goggled it pointed to this product: Led Plate 250 | Led Plate 250F(LP-250 & LP-250F Anti-Seize Thread & Sealing Compound ) Since my...

"DESCRIPTION 1965 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA, You are looking at a 65 Barracuda Fastback missing the engine and trans. " No Engine & Trans and tons of body rust - seems like too much money.

I am servicing my windshield wipers in my ’65 Barracuda and my Factory Service Manual calls for Lead-Plate Lubricant MoPar Part #2275437; which I believe is no longer available. The FSM also states not to use Lubriplate which would have been my fall-back choice. What Lubricant did you find that...

The driver side orientation of the flange is crucial because of it proximity to the Z-bar (remember it needs to come out easy too). Most of the time spent installing exhaust was spent getting the driver side tail pipe to pass through the small opening on the drivers side. That being said my 273...

That’s exactly what I did and you are correct, early A Low first gear + 10.95 inch clutch = awesome launch. The only drawback is the aluminum bell and limited Driver side exhaust routing.

Congratulations fellow “Hollywood” Marine Enlistment date and serial number are hard to forget, even after 45 years. On a different note, I am going out to San Antonio Texas this week to meet up with some Viet Nam Platoon buddys. Semper Fi Marine

I would take the inspection plate off and look into the bellhousing with a good shop light to see if maybe something worked loose or anything is visibly wrong, if your pedal is vibrating something in there isn’t right.

Hi Mark, I didn't realize Scalloped referred tight pressure plate mounting – learned something new today. The original clutch on the 273 Commando Barracuda was also built that way to increase clutch plate surface area but no one ever referred to it as a scalloped clutch. However, I assure you...

I also had to chop my input shaft because the 360 crank wasn’t drilled deep enough; chopping up a freshly built 833 will make you pucker a little. “You can upgrade the clutch to a 10" scalloped pressure plate” Pedal pressure of the scalloped pressure plate is very stiff and difficult to...

There is on my 65 Barracuda, I have never seen theses at swap meets or after market. Mine are very fragile and have been glued back together. They are attached by two sheet metal screws on the top and two white rivets on the bottom. Obviously mine are not fastened at the bottom, guess what’s...

I live near Bascom and Moorpark, Couldn’t resist the shameless plug: MOPAR Rally Sunday June 7, 2009 at Ohlone College – Lots of great MOPARs and usually lots of vendors and swappers.

Hi Dave, I had the same problem and loosened the pressure plate so the clutch would stay in place but slip around as necessary. Once I stabbed the tyranny and snuged it up I moved the flywheel around with a socket on the Harmonic balancer bolt and tightened each pressure plate fastener, each a...

Yes and No – it is easy to hone the cylinder out and put in new rubber seals but if you have never rebuilt one before you may not be able to recognize if rebuilding it is possible. It comes down to knowing if the corrosion in the cylinder (there is always corrosion) will extend beyond the seals...

My 65 Barracuda has a removable voltage regulator but I think my manual says their was a regulator installed in the gas gage on some cars too. I can check it when I get home this evening.

Early A body fresh air boxes are different (I salvaged one just in case I someday wanted AC), it’s a good bet later A body’s are too. You may be able to modify the box that you have and eliminate the AC stuff but the job would be difficult with the unit in the car. The units are a royal...

Beautiful work, not much more I can say…

I would build up the block stock (for now) and get a set of headers to replace the stock manifolds. Building up the motor only to choke its ability to get rid of spent gases is never a good idea. R/T heads on your motor might be a good idea too, if you can salvage a set, they breathe better. Cam...

If I remember correctly, my 8 3/4 used a 5 hole backing plate and the old 7 1/4 I had on my Barracuda before, had a 4 hole backing plate.

USMC obviously :usa2: MCRD1964, Schools Batallion in 65, Deployed 1st Tank Batalion First Marine Division ’65, served at Phu Bai and DaNang until late ’66. I'm the last man on the right.

My 65 Barracuda had an old oval speaker (real small magnet) on the passenger side rear deck area, in the same location as the defrost motor would be placed. Is that what you are talking about?

Some of my best friends were in the Army…:joker:
