We're working on the reassembly of a 68 Dodge Dart convertible. We installed the passenger door shell on the body - no windows or anything else, just the lock mechanism. Tried to open the door today and it won't! The rods are properly installed, and appear to be properly actuating the door latch...

I know some of the harness makers like Painless use wiring that has printing on the wires to label them...'DOME LIGHT', 'BRAKE LIGHT', 'ACCESSORY', etc. Does anyone sell such wire in bulk? Ideally in Mopar colors? I really don't want to rewire my entire car, but when I need to replace a wire...

1964 Barracuda with the deluxe variable-speed wipers. I decided to renew my wipers after 58 years. I removed, cleaned, lubed, and sealed the wiper arm pivots. Never one to leave well-enough alone, I decided to pull the motor out and clean it up, too. I pulled the back plate off of the motor...

I'm planning to install a basic roll bar in my '64 Barracuda. I'd like to have shoulder belts in the car, and I think the upper mount should be attached to the roll bar. Have any of you done this? If so I'd like to know where you got your shoulder belts, and pictures would be a bonus! Thanks.

Hi Folks - I have relocated my battery to the trunk, on the passenger side. If I want to go to a track, I need a power cutoff switch. I know how to wire it in, but I've been trying to figure out the best location. The picture attached is the underside of the area where my battery is. (The...

I have an a-body A833 with a Passon OD gearset. I just got it on the road last week, with basically everything from the radiator to the transmission replaced or rebuilt. I drove the car (64 Barracuda) a couple of miles, and then into the garage. At some point I decided to push it forward for...

Hi Folks - I have a '64 Barracuda with a later 4-speed. I have an old speedo cable that kinda works, but I'd like to replace it. The problem I'm having is that all of the ones that are supposed to be the correct size are too long! My old one measures 54" from flange-to-flange. (Not including...

Hi folks - I have a 340 in a manual steering 64 Barracuda. Older water pump with driver's side inlet. I have been running a single-groove pulley combination. I'm considering replacing the 50-year-old harmonic balancer with a better one. I ended up purchasing one of these PRW units: PRW 2531811...

Hi Folks! I pulled my '69 340 last weekend; it was previously built in about '89. I'm looking for suggestions! Here are the basics... I want to use the stock block, crank, rods, and heads. (I have 'J' heads with 2.02 valves.) I have an old LD-340 intake I want to use. (I do have a splash...

Hi Folks, I found what I think is a great solution to the motor mount question that all of us with small blocks in an early A-body. I put together the info in a PDF and it's up on the Early Cuda web site in the tech section. http://earlycuda.org/techdocs/JimBowenTheHolyGrailofMotorMounts.pdf I...

Has anyone with an early Barracuda relocated their battery to the trunk? If so, I'm wondering where you put it... Pictures would be nice! I'm thinking of cutting the right side off of the trunk separator and putting it as far forward in that area. Jim

Hi - I just received and started installing a shifter tunnel hump from Brewers. It's the fiberglass one, and seems to be nicely made. Here's the situation. The back edge of the new hump ends right at the metal reinforcement plate for the front-right corner of the driver's bucket seat. The...

I have a '64 Barracuda that I converted to a 4-speed with a pistol-grip shifter many years ago. It's time to put in a proper shifter tunnel. I found and ordered one from Jim's Auto Parts, but it is on back-order with no date. I have a feeling I might wait forever. Does anyone have a good...
