    Wilwood rear brake kit 7144 fit 15" draglites?

    I'm about to order the rear brake kit for my 8 3/4 housing from Wilwood but I don't know if it will clear my 15" Weld draglite wheels. Anyone who has this kit if you could let me know it would be great. The part number is 140-7144 and it is the pro series kit with 12.19" rotors and a parking...

    41 3/8" Narrowed 8 3/4 for 65 barracuda

    I found an 8 3/4 rear end housing that came out of a 65 barracuda and it is 41 3/8" wide flange to flange with a perch to perch measurement of 31 1/2". This sounds very narrow to me but since it has the leaf spring perches I think it was in a leaf spring car and not a for link or ladder bar...

    65 barracuda need help with rim backspacing

    OK, so I have an E-body housing for my 65 barracuda and I want to narrow it to the stock A-body length so I can buy stock A-body axles instead of getting custom axles at a greater cost. I took some measurement of the rear tubs and the axle to see what kind of backspacing I would have to get on...

    65 Glassback fish

    I took some pics of some of the work I did over the last 6 months. It has been a slow progress but it is getting closer. I thought I would share. The first two are when I brought home the car with a partially disassembled 273, no tranny, 9" drum brakes. Next came the fabrication of some...

    Need Part # for aluminum master cylinder

    I went down to my local part store (Lordco) and ordered a master cylinder for a 85 Dodge diplomat (that is what I read will work for this application) to use for the 11.75 inch disk brake swap on my 65 cuda. The master cylinder I received is not the aluminum one. Anyone can tell me a part...

    I'm rebuilding the front end of my 65 barracuda and doing a brake swap to the 11.75" rotors with wilwood calipers. (before I put my 360 and 727 combo in there) I ordered some reinforcing plates to weld onto the bottom of the lower control arms but I don't know which LCA I should use. I have...

    Hooker Super comp headers/need help

    I found a set of Hooker Super comp headers a guy is selling that came off his 69 Dart. I have a 65 barracuda into which I'll be installing a 360 LA engine and 727 tranny (from a 73 cuda340). The headers are ceramic coated and they are a good deal, but I don't know if they will fit the early...

    Need help with front sub frame swap

    I have to swap out the front sub frame on my 65 cuda. I found a 68 Valiant Signet 4 door car that has had the front suspension rebuilt and if the front frame rails are good I will pick it up. He is asking $800 and it's driveable. I think that the front sub frame should be the same length and...

    Floor pans for a 65 barracuda 67's will it fit?

    I need to replace the front floor pans in my 65 cuda. I could not find anyone that supplies floor pans for this year. All the ones I found were for 67 and up. Layson's lists floor pans for the 65 so I was going to order them, but they told me that they are actually 67 and up pans but they...

    Trying to source parts in Canada

    I just bought a MIG welder (Millermatic 175) today so I need to get some floor pans and frame rail caps to repair the rusty parts on my 65 cuda. I'm having a difficult time of sourcing parts from local suppliers, or even if not local at least Canadian sources. I could get most of what I need...

    seat belt cleaning

    Has anyone here figured out a good way to clean up mouldy seat belts without bleaching or affecting the color? I was thinking of dropping them in a bucket with water and oxy clean to see if they can be saved. Any info would be great.

    I'm oficially a Mopar A body guy!

    I bought a 1965 barracuda, (Canadian model I think since it says Valiant on the trunk and the front of the hood- just a guess, since I'm new to all this mopar stuff.) So, to introduce myself, I'm from British Columbia Canada and I'm a mechanic and I recently got the urge to tinker with an old...
