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

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...

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...

Ever since I've owned my '65 Barracuda the wipe motor has given me trouble. The wiper motor would pop the circuit breaker after a couple swipes. Being caught in the rain was troublesome. Over the years I've searched high and low for replacement motor without success. I found a few sources for...

When I bought my '65 Barracuda, the steering had considerable free play. The steering linkage was fine so I figured the slop was in the steering geer. I adjusted the play so it only had about a inch or so free play. However, with the engine running the free play increased over a quarter turn...

I recently replaced the original power steering gear in my "65 Barracuda, with a rebuild unit from Rockauto. The spool valve on the replacement unit is integral with the gear housing. The outlet diameter on the replacement unit is half that of the original gear. The original power steering pump...

I'm in the process of replacing the power steering gear on my'65 Barracuda. I noticed the seal for the steering coupler is rotted. There is what looks like a seal cup that fits over the end of the steering column tube. It appears to be part of the coupler seal. I have found several places that...

The passenger seat back on my '65 flops forward on a quick stop. When I was reupholstering the bucket seats, I found a small spring, which fits in the hinge. It restricts the seat back from flopping forward. Not thinking, I installed it in the driver's seat. If anyone has an extra one, please...

I have a problem with an intermitant starter solinoid failure. I suspect the positive battery cable may be part of the problem. MY 104K mile '65 Barracuda positive battery cable has suffered much over the years. One look at it shows it isn't just any other cable and is quite different from other...

I ordered a new shift cable for my '65 904 from Imperial. The new cable comes without the adjuster assy. that goes into the tranny. I tried to remove the adjuster from the original cable without success. Are the cable and the adjuster assy. seperate parts?

Has anyone used the Street Demon 625 on their 273?

After I installed a cam and 4 barrel carb, I herd what I thought is belts making noise. I fiddiled with the belts for a few months without success so I removed them and started the engine. The squeal was still there. I removed the damper and checked for something possibly rubbing. After close...

When my '65 was down for paint, I lost the license light asssembly. I have gone through my storage and anyother place I can think of. I finally ordered a new license light lense with gasket but I need the assy to go with it. Can anyone help out?

I installed an AVS 600cfm carb on my stock 273. I'm wondering if it too much carb because I'm having runability problems.

My '65 Barracuda didn't come from the factory with any sway bars and rolled quite a bit on turns, when I first bought it. I installed and AADCO 1.125" front sway bar, which helped a lot. The car still has more roll than I would like. I asked the local Barracuda guru about installing a rear sway...

Sometime in the near future I'm going to install a Edelbrock Performer manifold on my '65. Edelbrock recommends leaving the manifold ports as manufactured because of intake velocity. Should I port the heads to match the manifold or leave them alone?

Many of our old cars have the problem hard starting after sitting for long periods. My car is no exception. This subject has been discussed a number of times. The fuel disappears out of the fuel bowl for whatever reason. Some of the people on this forum have installed backup electric fuel pumps...

My '65 came with variable speed wipers and the switch has problems. Variable switches are a little costly and since I rarely drive in the rain I am wondering if a single speed switch will work in my car?

I installed an after market sway bar on the front of my '65 Barracuda but the rear end feels like it will come loose on hard higher speed turns. I told the club's Barracuda expert that I am thinking of installing a rear sway bar. His comment was installing extra rear spring leaves would work...

The early A body cars have long had the problem of fuel spillage while filling up.There has been much said on this forum about this problem. Modern fuel filler tubes have the smaller diameter inlet for the smaller gas pump nozzles, which act as a baffle. This baffle stops fuel burps. Our old...

Early Barracudas came with a variety wiper switches. My car has a variable wiper switch. My wipers will run for a minute and then stop and after a minute will run again. They won't park when the switch is turned off. It is obvious that a breaker switch is causing the problem and the motor may...

The early A body car bucket seats have the habit, of the seat back flying forward on a quick stop. Has anyone attempted to cure this problem without replacing the seat with a non-stock seat?

I'm thinking of adding a power brake booster on my '65 Barracuda. Is there a booster that I can bolt the stock cylinder onto and will bolt to the original master cylinder location?

I have an unusual pumpkin cover leak. Evidently sometime in the distant past my Barracuda had an off-road excursion that bent the lower lip of the pumpkin cover surface. Replacing a rear axle assembly would cost big bucks to say nothing of shipping it. I have tried several times to seal the leak...

Is there really an advantage with electronic ignition and would it help with fuel mileage?

I have had problems with refilling my car forever. Gas will burp out all over while refueling. I know I'm not the only one with this problem. I've tried going very slow which isn't really working like it should. While refilling slowly, fuel comes out of the vent tube. I was just told not come...

The other day my wife and I were driving the Barracuda around town. When we arrived home she told me she felt frightened without seat belts. So, it's time to install them but I feel lap belts aren't that great. Has anyone ever attempted to install shoulder belts in an early Barracuda?

I have to crank for a few seconds to start my '65 Cuda after it sits for a week or two. When I shut it off after a drive, I smell gas fumes. I believe I have a problem with fuel evaporating in the carb. Originally I thought fuel was leaking from the carb so I pulled the air horn and filled the...

Does anyone know the correct jet size for a BBC carter on a 273 with an automatic? The carb I have now is from a junk yard. I have no idea what car it came from. I rebuilt it and it runs fine except it runs rich and I haven't been able to lean out.

The wipers on my '65 Barracuda will stop after running for several minutes. I know the switch has a circuit breaker. I had the s/w out of the dash and in my hand with wiring still connected and ran the wipers. I don't feel a click in the s/w when the motor stops but touching the motor when it...
