That black stripe on the sun fire yellow would set it off pretty well I think.

It does have that nice clutch smokin' smell when you get on it real hard and it shakes. It must also need the flywheel surfaced cause it appears there are good spots and bad on it.

It is definitely in the clutch area where the shake is. There is some free play at the pedal on return. Not much though. I'll check out the rear tranny mount but I've had those go bad in the past and normally you will also get a continual vibration running down the road because of drive train...

Bought my original 383 4 speed car a few months ago from a FABO member (great car)and have been getting it road worthy. Years ago he mentioned he smoked the clutch a bit. Doing ??? Not sure. As I drive it, it hooks fine in all gears but first. In first if you dump the clutch it really doesn't...

Tail light bucket must have nice chrome. Thanks for the add!

Finally got resolved, I think. Called Summit tech line and after some research on their part found that their advertised shank lug nuts for these 5X4's do not fit. The new style wheel, as they call it, takes the 60 degree conical lug nut. I've sent the shank style back so hopefully this gets me...

Those .679 shank OD McGard lug nuts are too large. I would have to be down in the .600 range to fit these wheels.

In working with this I'm finding that the 09005-4 lug nuts called out by Cragar for the 5X4 SS's have multiple issues. 1. The shank length is too long. They extend past the wheel itself so it will not press the rim against the drum. I milled these off to fit. 2. The head is not 3/4" as...

Pulled my Cragar lug nuts and washers off and found that at 75 ft lbs, I bent the crap out of my new washers. What's up with that. Chinese washers now I suppose.

Those very hard to get to?

I cranked mine up from 65 to 70 ft. lbs. and drove the car around some more tonight. They seem to be staying tight. Time will tell. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought that I would like a scooped hood for my 69 Barracuda instead of the stock flat and I noticed these guys make a fiber hood they claim you can use your stock hinges and hold downs for. I would pin it as well but at around 800 bucks for the hood and underneath ram...

I've started out at 65 ft. lbs. but it sounds like I'm too light. I've used unilug Cragars on my B Body cars in the past and various times have had them come loose. I only decided on 5X4 Cragar SS's for my Barracuda because they are not unilug but after just impact and lug wrench tightening the...

Anyone know the correct torque on these wheels for the 7/16 lug nuts? Thanks.

I see that US Body has a Hemi Super Stock Fiber hood for a 69 Barracuda. I'm considering a purchase of the heavy duty style and wondered if anyone else had bought one of these in the past. I don't believe they've been out long. Am also going to get the ram air under hood attachment as well. Any...

Thanks for the heads up on the 5X100MM spacers. They fit great!!!

I ordered some 5/16" spacers from Summit. I have about 2/16" gap between the tire and leaf now. I wonder if the approximate 1/2" gap will be enough?

Cragar SS. 3.35 Back spacing.

I'll see if I can procure a fender roller. Bat trick does sound like it could flex the quarter out too.

Would like to bend that inner lip of the quarter upward on my 69 Barracuda. These 295 50/15's with Cragars are very close to rubbing. Anyone at home do this successfully without burgering their quarter up? Thanks.

Got my 215 65/15's on the front with the Cragars. They look great and no rub.

Thanks for the links. I've got those 5X100MM (5X15/16) jobs on order. They should work and I need that extra width of the .312" over the .250". Not much but I'm so close to the leafs every little bit helps.

Thanks. I'll check that out.

I checked Summit. Theirs are 5X4.5. Are yours 5X4? If so how thick? Thanks.

Got my Cragars on last night. My P215 65/15 tires fit good up front but my P295 50/15's are very close to the rear leaf springs. Probably 1/16" gap. Would like to space that out another 1/4" at least but I haven't been able to find 5X4 spacers. Just 5X4.5. Thanks.

That's what my car has. 10 inch drums all around. Of all the B and E body cars I've had, I've never owned a power front drum car like this. They've all been disc up front. I know this car has its original brake system on it.

I agree. Cranking up the mill to get the studs out and mill the faces off the lug nuts when they get here. Thanks for the input !

So, I would say for me grinding the head off the stud on the inside would be the way or I have a buddy of mine who has access to a mill. He could just mill the head off. When I get the head milled or ground off I can then tap the studs out from the inside out, correct? As previously stated, the...

No these were done for drag racing. The studs have to be visible thru the lug nuts. All the others have long but the RH side. I suspect something happened there and the previous owner just didn't put the longs back in or had to replace the hub/drum for some reason.
