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!

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...

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...

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

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...

'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...

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...

Tried to fix this myself but I can't seem to get it worked out. 318 with a Holley 670 cfm Street Avenger, CompCams 268 XE, dual exhaust, running original PCV but do not currently have the breather side hosed into the air filter. Original 904 trans (rebuilt) with original torque converter, B&M...

Just thought I'd post about my recent experience. Rebuilt the top end of 318 in my '68 Barracuda. New cam, valve springs, rockers, lifters, rods, timing chain, Holley 4 bbl, Edelbrock Performer manifold. Also wanted to dress it up a bit, so I slapped on some chrome valve covers with breathers...

Looking for opinions/past experience/suggestions re: the following issue. Just finished restoration on 68 Cuda. Put it on the road (registered, insured, plates) 5 days ago. Awesome feeling. Did about a week's work of up and down my street "testing" beforehand, then drove it locally the...

Nearing the end of resto project - real close to finishing up, but can't figure out my gauges. I've read a lot about the voltage limiter but don't know if it's built in, and if not where it is and what it looks like. I do know this - bench tested my gauges and they work. Put them in the car...

Nearing completion of '68 Cuda resto. Should be back from paint Saturday. Car originally was green with (I think) white vinyl top. We weren't concerned with original colors, etc. so we chose modern era Chrysler High Performance Red, but we want to use vinyl top as with original - but not...

Just worked through engine break in after top end rebuild. 318 LA, '68 Cuda. Got a leak which I think I narrowed down to oil pressure sender. I'm going to take the old one out and replace it. Questions: (1). How exactly does it get connected to the gauge? I rewired the car w/ a Ron Francis...

I've had all sorts of problems trying to do the 30 minute cam breakin recommended by Comp. 318 LA. Edelbrock Performer manifold. Comp Cam 262XE. Holley Street Avenger 670. First, the Holley was flooding (secondary bowl) - I'd get it running for 10-15 seoconds, then it would flood - so I...

Anybody know where I can get one of these? Not even sure what it's called. The small bulbs for dash lights plug in and these screw into the back of the instrument cluster.

I am restoring a 1968 Cuda. I have a 318. Originally 2 bbl but I am putting 4 bbl on it and headers. Replacing rockers, rods and lifters. Pulled it apart yesterday and decided to put a new cam in it as well. I've read some posts that are way above my knowledge level. I don't want to get...

I am putting a 4 bbl on a 318 in a 68 Cuda. Replacing the original intake manifold with and Edelbrock Performer. problem is there is a short "stem" on either end of the top of the block, and a matching hole on either end of the original manifold. But the Edelbrock doesn't have the holes. Am...

68 Cuda with a 318, power steering. Originally had single exhaust. Plan has been repaint, dress up and mildly add to motor., and convert to dual exhaust. Got Hedman Headers a while back. Pulled motor and tranny this weekend. Tried to give a look see at headers to see if they fit, because...

I am doing a front disc conversion using a Wilwood kit on a '68 Cuda. Ran into the following problem: the diameter of the snout on the Wilwood hub is wider than the center opening on my wheels. My wheels are rallyes, not sure what year or make they came off originally but they fit the...

What started as a disc brake conversion on my 68 Cuda project has turned into a little more. Having a problem getting the spindle off the upper ball joint stud, and also in getting the ball joint out of the upper control arm. Is it true that the ball join is threaded into the UCA? If so, do I...
