I have been a Mopar guy since I was 17. I loved the quality and the looks. The V/8s have been awesome. My driver is a '10 Sebring rag top that sits next to my '65 Barracuda. Now they're trying to stuff dangerous EVs at us. Do you realize how many EV fires that happen every day? I just watched a...

I just watched a disturbing YouTube video about Stellantis and their takeover of Chrysler. For 2024 there are only 2 models. One of them is an Alfa Romeo minivan. No more Hemi-powered Chargers? Will this be the end of our favorite American car manufacturer? See: and

Take my advice and scrap the power steering or send your gear to one of the company's slant six dan recommends. I went through this horror for almost a year and finally installed a manual box. The car is harder to steer, at slow speed, but I can at least drive it.

I've seen a lot of GM engines in Fords of all vintages but very few people would think of putting a GM engine in a MOPAR. That's almost sacrilegious! You deffinately think out of the box. At least it insn't a small block Chevy. Very nice welds and fab work. But why a GM?

Here's the update on my power steering troubles. Last week I removed the steering gear and power steering pump, boxed them, and hide them in the shed. I ordered a manual gear with pitman arm, a Steering Spline Adapter from eBay. When the parts arrived, the pitman arm had been cut off with a...

Many, many years ago when I worked for GMC Truck & Coach, GM had their own assembly lube that came with their cams. I have used STP and many other products including good old 30 weight, when building engines. I never had any problems with any of them. When I installed the Comp Cam in my...

Sadly, patience is a must when it comes to the correct seat covers. I ordered my Legendary rear seat upholstery kit from Year One on their eBay site back in 2018. They had it in stock. I ordered the front seat kit from Classic. It took over 9 months for it to be delivered. I couldn't find the...

No matter where I move the control valve it turns left. I just called Firm Feel and they tell me I have an internal problem in the gear box.

I loosened the valve and moved it back and forth. The wheels stay straight no matter what is done with the valve. I thought maybe the rebuilder left the spool spindle out so I removed the valve. The spool spindle is there! The hoses are clear. This car goes on the sale block!

The steering gear was rebuilt, all linkage, joints, and bushings in good condition. Steering wheel play has been adjusted. Upon starting the steering wheel doesn't move but when turning off the key, The wheel moves slightly towards the left.

I believe I have the powersteering pump problem corrected by adjusting the pressure. Now I have another problem. The car turns to the right normally but it takes half a turn of the steering wheel to get the car go left.

HOW?

I just looked at Firm Feel's site and it appears they don't do pumps.

I have gone through so much hassle changing steering gears in and out that I''l sell the car before I do it again. The pumps I have recieved to replace the original are Saginaws even though the seller shows a pump like the original in their ad. There is quite a bit of hardware changing to...

I agree Icetech. The '64/'65 grilles are totally awsome. With the lights on at night, the grille looks like a wild cat coming at you.

Very nice conservitive design! I've always like pin striping and had a number of cars stripped. However, I have been reluctant to do it to my Barracuda because it might distract from the original design.

What is your idea of a wide body? Do you want to widen the body or just make mods like air dams ect.?

I have been struggling with the powersteering on my 273 powered '65 Barracuda for about a year. The original gear had been leaking ever since I bought the car several years ago. So I decided to replace it in an attempt to have a clean garage floor. I ordered a replacement from Rock Auto. It...

Riograndman, The pro that removed my windshield said he doesn't use a sealant on these older cars unless the surround is rusted and, that most professionals don't either. So I didn't use a sealant. I have no leaks. If you don't have one of those hard plastic sticks, you can buy a set of them...

I have always based m tire buying on the tread left. I don't plan on changing my habits at my age. I raced on used tires in my youth without worrying and was quite lucky in that that was the last time I had a blowout. We used special formula compounds to soften tires for extra traction or to...

I've seen tabs like that used to attach a tow bar.

When I was racing Go Karts, I used muriatic acid to hide illegal engine modifications. Lately, I have used it for sidewalks and to kill moles.

The engine shown is definitely not a Westbend. It's a Mac 10. My Go Kart mini bike ran a Westbend 10. I was among the first Karters in the Tacoma/Seattle area when the craze hit the Northwest. I rode a Bug with a hopped-up Clinton A90 2 1/2 Hp. When the Clinton blew, I bought a Percival Kart...

Is there a market for the K-members? I'll check the tranny pan rail numbers. 67dart thinks it is for six. I pictured only one of LCA's. There are also two finned brake drums not pictured.

Pardon my stupidity but what's a LCA?

Sorry about the time lapse but lots going on. The 2-barrel manifold was used on the '76 "Feather Duster" and '77 and newer "Super Six". It also was used in the Assie version of the Valiant. The K members appear to be in good condition. There are also both lower control arms along with brake...

A long-time early A-body owner and friend passed away recently. He was a member of the Cascade Pacific Plymouth Club from almost its inception. The '67 Barracuda Commando coupe he purchased new is still in his garage. It looks like the day it came off the showroom floor except for the vintage...

$500 - $600 sounds about right. Pacific Northwest Plating in Vancouver, Wa did mine for $1200 for front & rear. They mainly do heavy duty truck work but work in small custom stuff. They were doing a '37 Chevy grille at the time they did my bumpers.

Over the years I've tried a number of ways to clean a tank and there were problems with them. It depends on the condition inside the tank. Putting rocks inside and shaking the crap out it works if there is no rust build up. Coating the inside turned out to be a nightmare. A-body tanks a cheap...

I purchased a sending unit for my Barracuda, with a return fitting, years ago on eBay. Since I'm using caburation, I plugged it. Fuel Tank Sending Unit Fits 1963-1976 Dodge Dart 010146 615343836706 | eBay
