Forgive me for starting another thread on this probably tired subject, but I am officially confused, or vapid. All I remember reading the past few years was Cragar stopped making SS rims in the small bolt pattern and about how scarce they are. I found Summit has some so I called about sizes and...

Looking for a set (or one) or rear drums, small bolt pattern, 8 3/4 rear. Thanks

Did full PST front end rebuild kit on 68 Barracuda. Putting back together and the new idler arm is hitting just about where the headers meet the exhaust. Has anyone experienced something similar?

I'm finally doing the front end suspension on my 68 Barracuda on my driveway. I am looking for tips/suggestions about what I can restore/paint while the front end is up and disassembled. I intend to paint the uppers and lowers. The wheels wells and front frame had been undercoated at some point...

Does anyone have a photo or link of/for a 1968 Barracuda distribution block? The one I got from Summit (the only one they carry) is not the same as what I have on the car. The new one has a different mount. Mine just has one lip with a hole for a bolt to connect it to the frame. The new one has...

What is the difference between A and B body backing plates? I was given a set of Bs for a rear I’m having built and didn’t know if I can use them on my A body. Does bolt pattern come into play with these? I don’t think it does but just want to make sure.

What Small bolt pattern backing plates do I need for 8.75 rear I’m building for 68 Barracuda.

I am breaking down my first motor, 360 (70s i think), and cannot get the distributor out. Should it just pull out after taking off the clamp plate or does it need to be at a certain position to "unlock" it? How easy or hard should it be to turn the engine at the crank in case it do need it to...

I recently replaced my thermaquad with a Demon. After the thermaquad was rebuilt it was flooding really bad. Fuel pressure was tested as around 7psi which from what I read was high for a thermaquad- however it ran with that pressure for years. So, I decided to try the Demon- Damn that opened up...

I have been seeing both of these sizes listed for my 68 Barracuda that came w a 318. I understand 1 3/4 is the stock width, but will the 2 1/4 work as well? My guess is no, but possibly there is a reason why they would work, so i just want to be certain.

South Jersey area- looking for best place for rebuild/tune for my TQ Tired of all the bs Suggestions please Just had it rebuilt from trustworthy source, left the car at the shop. Ride home smelled gas, saw upper back of the bowl was wet, both sides. Guy said floats were high, could be dirt...

1968 Barracuda, 318, drums all around, small bolt pattern. I keep finding conflicting information about the sizes of the drums and the shoes. I am finally getting around to ordering brake parts and want to be sure to get the right parts on the first try. Also, who do you recommend: Rockauto...

Since I am doing front and rear suspension on my 68 Barracuda, I am going to do a complete brake job. Car came w 318 drums all around. I am planning to keep it as drums and small bolt pattern. Any suggestions for upgrading to have any more power or reliability keeping the drums? Any suggestions...

I have a piece for the lower right. I got it with the car but it was not on. only the clip by the middle is good, the other two are rusted away. Can the clips only be swapped with the glass out? The piece fits fine on the end in the middle, but the other side is slightly off and does not want...

Sorry to add to the deep well of wheel and tire threads. I searched, but did not find an answer for my specifics. 68 Barracuda 8 3/4 with small bolt pattern I have an old set of slotted 14" rims I want to put on, I measured 3" backspacing. Had 255 60 14 tires, but they are old and near shot. I...

I realize this is a complete beginners question, but I know this this would be the place to find an answer. What is the type of racing where there is a launch, then lay off, kind of roll a bit, then hit it? I was at Atco Sunday and aside from the Nostalgia class, the others did this. I am not...

Replacing leaf springs and rear shocks for first time on this car. Bilstein shocks and most likely ESPO springs. I have been browsing the threads here for pointers and came across a couple, such as cutting off Us and properly torquing them. Anything I should be aware of before doing this on my...

I am finally getting ready to do the front end rebuild on the 68 Barracuda. Since i'll have it apart it seems like a good time to switch to disc. 1) is it worth converting? 2) I have small bolt pattern, should I keep or switch? Switching mean $$$ for another set of old rally's, and my other...

Looking for mounting clips for 68 Barracuda passenger side lower rear window trim.

my 68 Barracuda 318 from what I can tell by the papers was built in the early 80s. The guy had if 30+ years, thne I bought it. Here is what I found: .030 over Fireball cam says "stroker crank" but I am not sure that is true. Did people do strokers in 318s? No info on heads etc thermoquad carb...

I bought the rebuild kit from DM. The only problem is it has a parts list, but no diagram for where they go. I bought the car with the box already removed and disassembled so I have nothing to go with. I am trying to figure out part: #4- 1/2"x1/2" x 7" charcoal foam tape strip "Attaches to...

In a previous thread I mentioned having bought this car wit he heater box removed. I found a replacement core and am looking into a heater box seal kit from Detroit Muscle. The problem is, since i did not take this out, I am not certain how to hook it back up. It seems there are only two...

When I purchased my 68 the owner had tried replacing the heater core. It has been out of the car for the 2-3 years I have had it and I finally have gotten around to doing it. Here is the run down: He removed the entire assembly and ordered a core but it didn't fit. Ordered a second, same...

The guy before me put 69 taillights and trunk trim on the 68 cuda. I replaced the taillights with 68s. Now the question is the trunk trim. Is it just the 2 pieces, upper and lower, running across the back of the trunk or is there a 3rd piece for the middle between those two strips? I have yet to...

A couple weeks ago I picked up a set of rims for my 68 small bolt pattern cuda with Hoosier quick times 26x9.50-14LT. They look and ride great. Next move was skinnies for the front. I wanted the classic centerlines and found a pair in perfect shape for $100 that had been on a dart. Drove a...

A friend of mine out west came across a 70-72 360 out of a C body. He was told it is a HO motor and comes with a trans- didn't get the type. Motor has not run in ten years, but was supposedly running well and pulled for rebuild. It was partly disassembled and oiled and sitting since. I had been...

What are the differences between SS and Espo leaf springs? Is one better than the other for launching? I plan to do some racing, but also use on highway. 68 cuda. The rear is 3.23 and I am also looking to raise just a couple inches for clearance.

I just received the '68 Plymouth shop manual. Looking at the section for rear springs, the photos are labeled as Belvedere, Valiant, and Fury- Do I follow the photos for Valiant if I have a Barracuda?

can this combo be done? The fronts would be for 3.5 or 4" front runners, the rear is 14x8 9" wide w street slicks. options are slim with a small bolt pattern

I've learned a lot reading through the tire threads and have some idea of what I want, but BFG and other have very few options for 14" rims, and they are all 60s What brands have a selection for 14" 70s? How wide can I go in rear with 3-3 1/8 backspacing- 255? 245? How skinny in front? These...
