Thanks James. No way I could ever get 240.

Gonna do that tomorrow AM!

Thanks James. Just to be clear, your tech was great, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. And the product is fantastic! Only issue was no call back on torque specs. Can you provide the recommended torque spec on the rear bolt?

I really f***ed up my vinyl top, looking for a recommendation for a reputable place that has experience with our cars in the greater Boston/SE New England area that can install a new top. Don’t mind driving a bit for the right place. Thanks!

72bluNblu - glad you replied! When I was trying to figure out what to do I found your posts extremely helpful! Thanks! You are spot on re: PST install - you just cut out the old rods (assuming like me you can’t get the nuts off) and install the PSTs without disconnecting the torsion bars...

Thanks for the reply. Got the PST strut rods and installed them a few weeks ago. What a difference! Much tighter feel, returns to straight and stays that way, even during hard braking. Massive improvement, and very easy to install. Small complaints: Would have liked some better/more...

Thanks for the offer but no offense I’d prefer new. Any reason why you took them off after only 1500miles?

Thanks for all the advice! Checked out some of the stuff you guys linked to. To keep about the same size overall diameter I am now thinking about 255s on 16 inch rims. I’ll post pics later this spring when I switch them over.

This is not technically an a-body question, but figured I could get good info here anyway. In addition to my ‘68 notchback, I have a 1987 D150, 2WD, 318, 2.9 gears with stock wheels and tires - 235/75/15 Wrangler TA (photos attached). I would like to run chrome Steelies with baby moons for the...

I will be putting adjustable strut rods in my ‘68 notchback. Can’t figure out whether to go with PST or QA1. I’ve read just about everything I could find on this (and there is excellent, very helpful content here - thanks guys!) but I still keep going back and forth. Right now I am leaning...

Thanks for all of your suggestions. Based on the advice, I got in touch with John Cope and he is building me a new transmission. He (and his wife) are awesome! Very responsive, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I’ll post an update once I’ve got the tranny in and running.

I have a cracked case in my original 904 transmission. So I am looking for a new one. Hoping to get some input on 3 questions: (1) what do you think of TCI street Rodder trans? , (2) what torque converter should I mate it with? (3) any better options out there than TCI without totally...

That’s what I thought too. But... Got under the hood last night. Cleaned up battery ground to engine block and battery terminals (pretty new/clean so not much there). Then got under the car - starter stud was loose and the attaching nut was also loose, and lots of gunk on the connectors...

I am having a similar issue which just started popping up. The car is running great. About 2 months ago I took it on a long trip, and it ran perfect the wHole way. Got to my destination , got up the next morning to cruise, went to start it and nothing - no power to anything. Had a similar...

Sorry about the delayed response - been traveling. Looking for a wiper knob for a 68 Barracuda. PS: cleaned my mailbox out too.

Sorry to butt in on this conversation, but can’t remember how to PM. Do you still have any of the knobs with the sleeve? Thanks!

The top connector of the sending unit i.e. how do I attach the wire to the top of the sender? Also, to gauge not idiot light

can anyone post a pic of the connector on the oil pressure sender of a 318 (68 barracuda)? Thanks!

So just disconnect the alternator? The alternator was purchased new and installed as part of my rebuild. Could it go bad this quick (about 20K miles)?

Virtually overnight about 3 weeks ago, with no prior warning, car wouldn’t start. Battery dead. Short story - I have replaced battery and tightened alternator belt. New battery drains after a few hours. Checked amp draw - about 4.4 amps (?) on multimeter so something is going on. But I...

Thanks! Ended up I found a shaft seal at a local place, put a new reservoir O-ring on it (stretched out an O-ring from plumbing supply shelf at hardware store, and it was still leaky. Put some Stop Leak in and a few miles later, no leak. I suspect it will come back but for now I've got some...

Her's the leaky pump.

Roy: This is the new pump. The shaft diameter is 5/8. I'll post another reply with photos of the leaky pump to show the brackets. - Mike

'68 Cuda with a 318. TRW power steering pump with slow leak has turned into a massive flow, so it's gotta be replaced or fixed. I have a rebuilt Federal on hand but one of the brackets doesn't fit (the reservoir is shaped different than the one on the TRW and the bolt goes in a different...

Here's pics of the new one.

I've got a leaky power steering pump on my 318, '68 Barracuda. I'm pretty sure it is Federal style, definitely not Saginaw. I bought a new one (Cardone) recently. Pulled the old one off, even took the pulley off (stupid me) then discovered that the bracket did not fit my new pump, nor did the...

Sorry about not responding sooner. I'm in Braintree, office in Quincy. You?

Also, by "solved" I meant that the carb swap fixed the problems I was having and the defect was clearly the culprit. You are right that getting it properly tuned is another matter entirely - and still a mystery for me that I'm working on!

See my reply above to boingk for the tweaks I made, plus I did adjust the idle a bit when I was adjusting the timing. It was hard to start at first when hot, but not so now.
