Thanks Toolmanmike, for the Comp Cams part numbers, and also thanks AUSA66, PAC may also have parts that fit. I haven't decided on a cam yet, or even that I want beehive springs. I'm building a moderate street 273. I'll be using a flat tappet hydraulic cam with sort of middle range duration and...

Lol! That's what cam companies have told me.

Does anyone know if there are beehive springs and retainers that fit a small block with 3/8 inch valves? I have only found retainers for 11/32 and metric valves.

Yeah, I just realized I posted the wrong side. Here you go. Recessed.

Is this one of the new Fluidamprs that fit properly? I bought it from Fluidampr in January 2020.

Thanks to everyone who replied for the great information! I still have to decide if I want to go with a new crank, but at least now I understand the pros and cons. One more question: new Mopar Performace forged crankshafts require a Magnum rear oil seal, according to the installation...

Speaking of oil pumps sucking the pan dry (or ambient crankcase pressure forcing all the oil into the pickup, if you prefer), this is transparent oil pan and valve cover experiment is interesting to see:

Stroker crank! I'm not alone! I'm seriously thinking of stroking my 273 but I've been afraid to post anything about it because people would think I'm insane. What a beautiful blue cuda the OP has! My '65 doesn't have a hood spear so that may be from the dealer too.

You said the Doug's Headers D450s don't work with power steering, but their site says they work with power steering. See "Applications and Footnotes" Doug's Headers D450 1 5/8 I have set I bought for that reason, but they're not installed, so I can't say.

Not really a quiz, just a whole lot of questions that I'm numbering to reduce confusion. I'm confused enough for the whole forum. I have a 1965 Barracuda Formula S with the stock 273 4bbl and a 904 automatic. I've been trying to figure out what my options are in terms of...

I've heard mixed reviews myself. It's old tech, but that's fine with me. My car is points and mechanical cam. The Dual Port idea is just an experiment. With a Dual Port, the carb primaries and secondaries each have essentially a separate manifold. Each of the 16 runners are small in diameter, so...

Thanks, Demonracer, but it's not the one I'm looking for.

Looking for an Offenhauser Dual Port Manifold for a 1965 Mopar 273 with a square bore (AFB type) carb. Ideally, I want a model 6022-DP for a 1964-65 273, though a 6020-DP for a 1966 and up 273 or 318 would be ok as well. Thanks!

DionR sounds right - no one has presented any firm evidence that there are two different housings, and several people have posted things that make me think there is only one housing (though there are two carriers). It would be great if Halifaxhops could respond to DionR's post #353. I'm not...

Thanks, Wyrmrider! Great info, and a big relief that I don't need to find yet more parts that were only used on early 273s! This seems to be the successor company to Rocker Arm Specialists you mentioned in case anyone is interested: Rocker Arms Unlimited

I'm planning a rebuild on the original 273 my 65 Barracuda Formula S and need some help from some of the LA experts here. I was reading How to Rebuild the Small Block Mopar by William Burt. On page 65 he says, "LA engines from 1967 to 1992 do not have oil passages in the tappets, and oil is...

R3dplanet and Novacuda have both said in this thread that they have Doug's D-450 headers and had to make modifications to make them fit. R3dplanet's changes mainly seem to apply to a manual transmission car. I want to add headers to my '65 Barracuda Formula S with the stock 273 and automatic. I...

Thanks, but I'm looking for the other parts to do a swap as well.

Does it have front disc brakes?

Is this a disc brake car? The master cylinder looks like it's for discs. I'm looking for a complete a body kelsey-hayes system.

Very nice!

Sorry, not locking. I was thinking of something else.

There a locking aluminum one for sale here: Gas Cap Barracuda Valiant Dart Mopar Plymouth 1963 1964 1965 1966 Early A-body | eBay

Thanks! Yes, black on black, original paint (pretty sure). I'm in Alexandria I'm going to take a lot of pictures and post them when I get it clean.

Thanks for all the plug replies. Good to know about the points too. I think I'm going to keep the mechanical ignition. Going by Toolmanmike's points thread, I guess I should get NAPA/Echlin CS721A points and several condensers in case I get a bad one. So much to think about!

Hi, I just joined FABO and posted a brief introduction in the Welcome Wagon forum. I'm very happy to be here and looking forward to learning from all the A body experts. I just bought a stock 1965 Barracuda Formula S with a 273 Commando and 904 automatic. This is my first technical question on...

Hi all, I just bought a black 1965 Barracuda Formula S in nice unrestored stock condition. I've always loved the unusual looks of 1960's Mopars, especially early Barracudas. For some reason they're not very popular, but for me it's a dream car. This is not only my first Chrysler product, but...
