    Anyone out there have a good solution to get shoulder harnesses in a 68 barracuda convertible? Had a close call a while back when someone pulled out in front of me. It’s got me jumpy.

    1968 318 alternator suggestion

    I purchased an alternator that the local auto parts store's website assured me would fit my car. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to....but it almost fits. Comparing it to the alternator I took out, it seems to have some extra features (circled) in the housing that rub up against the engine block...

    68 barracuda 318 oil pressure reading

    I just got my gauges working. Oil pressure seems to be reading a bit low. (See attached) I figure it should be in the middle somewhere. Before I go troubleshooting further, can anyone tell me what tick mark their oil pressure gauge reads normally?

    Engine lags and stalls when initially pressing gas-Solution Found?!

    I recently replaced the carb with a more correct carter 2 barrel (the one that was on there was not original, the one I bought looks right but didn't come with a tag) and am having some issues where the engine will lose power if I quickly press the gas. The faster I press the gas, the more...

    Carter BBD type for 68 barracuda 318

    I have a 68 barracuda that I know no history on, but am pretty sure has had numerous changes/pseudo restoration. I was rebuilding the carb and screwed it up, so I'm looking to replace it, but its not obvious to me which carb is correct/will fit, and the pictures of parts I'm seeing online don't...

    Proportioning valve placement - disc conversion

    If I mount a proportioning valve prior to the brake warning switch/distribution block, will that cause the switch to stay on. The switch works on pressure difference, so I assume mounting the value prior to that block will cause issues. I can also mount the proportioning value after the block...

    SSBC rotor rubs on bolts for steering knuckle

    I bought a W153 front disc brake conversion kit from SSBC. I was putting it together and found the bolts that hold the steering knuckle to the adapter plate and spindle rub on the rotor. I talked to their tech support and they told me that the bolts have to go in from the outside. I don't...

    Front wheels getting hot to touch

    ive been driving around my car around town, just a few miles. When I get back, the grease caps feel pretty hot. Doesn’t seem right to me, but both fronts are doing it, from what I can tell the (drum) brakes aren’t on (they spin about as freely even if I loosen them until the adjuster wheel...

    Need Steering rebuild or just old car

    I'm not experienced driving old cars, so I have no frame of reference. My 68 barracuda sort of needs constant adjustment when driving down the road. If I go over bumps, steering can shift, enough that I'm nervous going over 35mph or so in anticipation of some bump. I've put new control arms...

    Left hand thread lug nuts on driver side

    On my 68 barracuda, I have all left had thread wheel lug studs. A couple are broken off so I want to replace them. I'm wondering if they are supposed to be LH. It seems odd. On the passenger side, they are all right hand threads. As an aside, anyone got advice on pushing wheel lug studs in?

    Upper Control Arm disaster

    I've been looking all over for upper control arms to replace the upper control arms in my 68 barracuda (drum brakes). Its been a disaster. I tried the QA1 tubular control arms. The first set broke almost immediately, which I sent back. The replacement set didn't fit, they hit the bracket...
