I’m the guy that ran my battery down to zero on my 64 Sport Fury with a 318 poly. As someone pointed out, Battery Tenders will not charge a battery that is completely discharged. So, the store recharged it and since then I have been disconnecting one terminal. About 6 weeks later, I connect the...

Two weeks ago, my 64 Sport Fury would not start, so I attached the Battery Tender and tried to charge it. The Tender light just kept blinking yellow (meaning the charger is working properly) after many hours. I took the DieHard to Advance Auto Parts since they handle DieHards now that Sears is...

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about 6.5 years ago. I was prescribed a ResMed CPAP machine and leased it through Apria. It took some getting used to, but after a short time, it changed my life for the better. I could sleep through the night and wake up rested. What a difference. Last week...

I tried going to forbbodiesonly and I get a warning: Your connection isn't private. And it will not let me go any further. Typically these things go away pretty fast, but is anyone else getting this? BTW, I use Norton 360 for security protection.

Most of you have some kind of classic car insurance, and the rates are very reasonable. I have an old Plymouth, in a locked garage, and one under a carport behind a locked gate. Both have been insured for several years. I recently bought a beater 64 Sport Fury, but I will have to park it...

If you're old like me, you probably can remember. So, there is an event in Sacramento (not car related) I usually go to every year, and I stay at the same Motel 6. Early last week I called to make a reservation: one room, one night. The lady starts out by telling me that there are a lot of...

Guy on local Craigslist wants a 70-72 Duster or Demon. His max limit is $10k. I live in Central CA, but I can't find his location in the ad. It doesn't appear that he is aware of this site. He wants a 318 minimum. WTB - 1970 - 1972 Plymouth Duster / Dodge Demon

Back in 1969, I had my 1968 Roadrunner in the school auto shop to put on some headers. Over the weekend, someone got into the shop and my mags disappeared. I had traveled down to the Ansen shop in Southern California to pick them up. About a month later, someone told me to look at the mags on...

Last Sunday, this guy ran a stop sign and totaled my car. At the time we hit, we were both going about 3 MPH, but that's all it takes. The rental company was originally going to give me an Altima, but when I got there, they gave me a 2016 Charger SXT. That was cool with me. I hadn't driven a...

Garth + a little of Trisha. He puts about 200% into his performance. About 75% of the women in the audience knew all the words to his songs. Last time he was in California was 19 years ago. Make an effort to see him if he comes to your town. His first show sold out in minutes, and they had...

Recently I took my car out and it stalled several times in the first two minutes. The picture shows the carb with a cold engine. Notice the choke valve is wide open. Shouldn't it be closed? I pressed on the valve to close it but it would just barely move about 1/4". The hang up is the...

I've had this 67 Barracuda V8 for about 2 years, but I just find little bits of time to work on it. It was very complete, but a LOT of little things weren't quite right. So I spent some time on it today. The car had factory A/C. First I was putting the alternator back on the car and I had a...

Probably most of us are on this site due to the 60s muscle cars. But some newer cars have high horsepower, pass smog, and have reasonable fuel economy. I know new technology helps, but were the older cars just a lot more inefficient? Where have the main improvements come from?

Many months ago I took my 1964 Sport Fury to a mechanic and the driver's side window came out pretty scratched. I always thought the windows were clear and I've been looking on eBay for a replacement. I finally found one, but it is listed as "tinted." However, the eBay picture looks pretty...

The eBay ad starts out: Save with everyday low prices. Look at the List Price and how much you save. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wheel-Lug-Stud-Front-Dorman-610-024-/251792437088?fits=Year%3A1967%7CModel%3ABarracuda&hash=item3a9fffaf60:g:zcMAAOSwyQtVjlVS&vxp=mtr I was thinking about...

I've got a 67 Barracuda and I've been following threads regarding changing out the 7-1/4 to an 8-1/4 or 8-3/4. The last guy said that will require going to a BBP. I was hoping to keep my SBP. The reason this is important is because I was thinking about changing to front discs, so I need to...

I went to a dentist appointment and parked my Camry opposite an old Plymouth. As luck would have it, we came out about the same time so I went over and talked to the guy. I told him I've been an old Plymouth guy ever since I had this new 1968 Roadrunner back in high school. I told him I now...

I've got the switch and rear defogger to install in my 1967 Barracuda notchback. It was a factory option. But I don't know where the switch was located. Will someone post a picture of the factory location of the switch? The location is probably the same for a 68 or 69. If you could furnish...

I just came across this site that covers dashboard tips, personal recommendations, parts, repair services, links, etc. It says for 67-69 Barracudas, but 90% applies to other cars. If it is connected to the dashboard, they talk about it. Pages of good info...

I'm retrofitting my 67 Barracuda for a rear defogger (a factory option) and I would like to use the factory toggle switch with the "Rear Air" nameplate. With or without wiring is okay. It will be shipped to Fresno, CA 93711. BTW, anyone have a picture of where it went in the dash?

I need to remove the grill panel, grills, headlight bezels, etc. The center part looks pretty easy. Looks like 2 small bolts on the L & R top sides of the grill panel (they look hard to get to). But what's on the bottom? I was hoping to pull as much as possible off in one piece, but it...

I'm 64-1/2 and probably need to work until 66 for a better retirement. But the stress of my engineering job makes working until 65 seem very possible, even with a reduced monthly income. This afternoon I worked on the old 67 Fish and found it very relaxing and theraputic. I needed that -- and...

Some pretty cool Chrysler cars in a museum (in Michigan) that many people don't know exists. Unfortunately it is not open to the general pubic. http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/the-top-10-most-interesting-vehicles-at-the-walter-p-chrysler-museum/ar-BBmcdgK?li=AAa0dzB&ocid=msnhomepage

I drive my 67 barracuda with a 318 2 bbl just close to home because it is not very reliable yet. A couple of weeks ago I thought I ran out gas, but a nearby friend pourred some gas in the carb and I got it home. I can't tell the gas level because gauge or sender is not working. So I put...

I'm looking in my 1967 manual under "cooling systems." I see various engines and options, and then there is a corresponding info on fan blade size, number of blades, water pump impeller, etc. Options include None, A/C, Trailer Tow, and C.A.P. I can't see where C.A.P. is defined. It can...

My 67 Barracuda came with factory A/C. I have removed the compressor for now, but I will eventually be going back with a newer Sanden compressor. Do these retrofit compressors use existing brackets, or do they use their own. I need to pull the water pump, and now is the time to remove that...

On my last post, many of you gave me a hard time for even staying with the 7-1/4 axle, but the car is just a daily driver so I'm okay with it. The car came with on enlarged stud hole and the stud was missing. I had the first mechanic try to replace the existing studs with RH studs, and then...

I asked this question once before, but I got no takers. This little funnel-like thing is on the side of my air cleaner for a 1967 Barracuda (273) with air conditioning. It looks it was some kind of fill tube for a liquid or oil. Could this be stock? If not, what might it have been used for...

There is a 1" diameter funnel-like device attached to the air cleaner of my 1967 Cuda with air conditioning. From the metal reducer, it goes down to a little rubber hose which extends about 2" more and then goes nowhere. I think the snorkle is pointing to the wrong side in my picture. The...

I would like to buy a factory tach (0 - 6000 RPM) to go in place of the vacuum gage. It needs to be good cosmetically, but it doesn't need to work. As far as I know this tach was only made in 1967 -- the 68 tach is different. Provide a pic and quote with shipping to Fresno, CA 93711.
