    Header melted the shift cable.

    We learn something every day. Previous owner had installed a B&M floor shifter and hooker headers. I dont know how adjustable these cables are but I'm about to find out. The cable was left very long and actually came about an inch or two away from the exhaust so after my third outing with this...

    What's in this Barracuda?

    Over a year ago I picked up a Barracuda that was someone's project. They had intended it to be a gasser with a welded diff (which was broken when I got my hands on it) I got it running with a new carb and some minor engine work and replaced the broken spider and ring gears. Now I'm wondering...

    I'm looking for a spacer to replace the one I've cracked in my 7 1/4 differential. It's about .277 thick. Close is ok as I can shim it.

    7 1/4 differential lock pin source

    Replacing spider gears that the previous own had welded together. I got a new kit from motive gear and it came with this lock pin which is not going to fit. Previous owner used a wood screw. Suggestions? I've also found the right side spacer is cracked. Can I find a new spacer or just stack up...

    Just started 66 barracuda- No Drive, No Reverse

    Hey guys, I bought a 66 Barracuda a while back and have been mostly concerned with getting the engine running. Today I decided to see if it would drive around the parking lot so I put it into gear and it didn't budge. The previous owner installed a shift kit (it was originally a steering column...

    [WANTED] 66 barracuda turn signal indicators

    I'm looking for someone with a set of turn signal indicators that would be open to loaning them to me for a few days so that I can make casts of them. I make moulds and resin casts for a living and I've noticed that these parts are fairly hard to find so having a mould of these handy for folks...

    Dash alternatives

    I have a 66 barracuda formula S and the dash is awful. It's cracked, and missing pieces. Are there any alternatives besides building another from scratch? I know the earlier models use different dashes but are they compatible? Thanks!

    Pulley on Harmonic balancer not flush with fan pulley

    I just installed a new cam on my 273, replaced the timing case seal and installed the balancer and pulley back on the crankshaft. It's definitely seated but it's offset from the fan pulley by about 3mm. Is there a spec or perhaps has someone installed the wrong pulley on my car?

    valve seals

    I purchased this head gasket set when I was replacing the springs on my 273 and the valve seals that came with set seem to be too large on the bottom. The diameter is much larger than the old ones but the actual hole that the stem pokes through is nice and tight. Is this supposed to be the case...

    Chasing down a tapping noise

    I got my engine running for the first time since buying the car (1966 273 formula S) and there was a loud tapping noise coming from what sounds like the right side toward the rear. I added a few ounces of marvel mystery oil and ran it for a bit and I pulled the plugs one by one to see if I could...
