A friend of mine is selling his 68 Hemi Cuda. This is a solid car, with a professionally built period correct 426 Hemi. The car was originally a 340 car. 4 Speed car, Dana 60, 4 wheel disc brakes, too many parts to mention. If interested, send me a PM, or you can call Frank at (seven zero...

I've been removing some parts from the car and cleaning out the garage. Here's what I've got, PM if interested: 69 Barracuda Tail Panel - nice condition, small ding lower right, excellent for a driver - $150 - Sold 69 Barracuda Long Reverse Light Housings - pretty pitted, only the...

I just got my car painted and I'm thinking of replacing my original barracuda fish fender emblems (car is a 69 Barracuda). My originals are a bit pitted and I thought something fresh and new would go well with the new paint. Does anyone know of a vendor that would sell these? I've tried...

Hello everyone. We're in the process of putting the hood back on the car and we're trying to figure out how to properly wind the spiral hood springs (69 Barracuda). So far we get no spring tension at all and the hood feels like a ton of bricks. But if we change the orientation of the spring...

We're installing a 4 speed transmission into a 69 Barracuda, the motor is a 360 and it appears that the bracket for the clutch fork bracket is too long. Would anyone happent to know if they make smaller size clutch for brackets for this application? See...

What type of oil do you generally use in your mopar? I recently used the Rotella diesel oil to break in my new 360, but going forward do you recommend I stick with that or try something different? Would you recommend anything different for a 440? Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks...

Good morning, I'm in the process of cleaning up my wiring and doing a general re-org of my engine bay on my Cuda. Would anyone be able to post pics of their completed, clean looking engine bay so perhaps I could get some ideas of how certain wires were routed, etc.? Thanks in advance.

Hi All, I'm looking to replace the carpet in my 69 Barracuda convertible. The black carpet that I currently have has faded from the sun and I tried re-dying it with no real luck. It has a four speed console as well. Does anyone know of any recommended vendors for the carpet? There just seems...

I need to get a driveshaft for a 69 barracuda that fits a A833 and 8 3/4" rearend. Based on the manual, the tube length is 51.53". Is there an easy way to confirm the length required? Also any recommended vendors for driveshafts? Thanks as always.

I seemed to have misplaced or have given away the brackets that connect the driveshaft to the rearend (not sure what they are called). Would anyone happen to know where to get a set or perhaps would have a set they would want to part with? Thanks.

While doing my engine swap, we retained the same stock rad and I noticed after re-installation that the shroud doesn't fit quite well. It looks like the previous owner replaced the stock shroud with an ill-fitting unit. Would anyone know where to source a shroud for a small block stock rad? I...

We're in the final stages of getting my motor fired up and we came across a couple of questions with respect to the MSD ignition setup that we have installed. After reading a few posts here, I think I understand things a little better, but I wanted to post this question just to confirm. My...

Hi, looking for a bit of advice. We're in the last stages before we fire up my new motor in my Cuda and I we need to get a thermostat. Do you think a 180 degree thermostat would be the right choice for a 360 stroked to 408? Thanks as always for your help.

Hi, would anyone know someone or a company that would make a custom pie tin? I've got a 408 in my car and I thought it would be neat to have a 408 pie tin instead of a generic Mopar cover or a 360 Magnum. Thanks.

I'm not sure if anyone has run into this problem, but we noticed that the headers are a very tight fit, even with the mini starter recommended by TTI. My concern is heat. Based on the picture below, do you think the starter, especially the rubber and plastic pieces will melt from the exhaust...

Would anyone have any pictures or link to pictures of anyone who has done a 4 Speed Console install (from hump to console brackets would be great). We're in the process now, have the hump installed and just want to take a look at where the brackets and ultimately have any idea the placement of...

Happy Saturday to you all! :) My 69 Cuda restoration saga continues and I wanted to get some advice on rearends. I have two 8 3/4 rearends available to me of equal quality. One with a 3.23 ratio and one with a 3.55. The car will have a 4 Speed with a 408 motor giving about 380HP and...

Hello, I'm in the process of converting my 69 Barracuda to a 4 speed. We're now working on the steering column. I have a donor manual transmission column and have swapped the collars on the original column. We've made some good progress, however, we cannot figure out where and what the two...

Hi, was wondering if anyone could recommend a mopar performance parts vendor in the West Palm Beach/Ft. Lauderdale area. My Dad usually deals with Mancini in the Detroit area, but he's down south for the winter and is looking for a recommended vendor in that area. Any thoughts would be...

I had the chance to attend my Dad's weekly car show held in Wasaga Beach, Ontario every Monday night. They had a good turnout, lots of nice Mopars. One of the last cars to show up was a brand new Challenger. We all had a chance to gawk and take a closer look at the beast. Here's a picture...

So with our pseudo long weekend up here in the great white north, I finally had some time to spend some quality moments with my 69 Barracuda project. I posted some of my progress to this thread, but was encouraged to start a new thread. So over the past three days, we managed to add a second...

Now that I've practically stripped my car bare and there is no hope in seeing it on the road anytime soon, I thought I would slowly start to remove the undercoating (black hard rough stuff). Does anyone know of a decent method to get this stuff off without damaging the car? Heat, chemical...

I'm planning on doing a 4 speed conversion on my 69 Barracuda in the spring and I've been slowly collecting parts and wanted to pick some of the brains out there that have already gone through this process. I'm installing a console, going to use a hurst 4 speed console shifter, I have the...

A friend of mine and I have been running a NASCAR pool for the past five years. If there are any NASCAR fans out there, take a gander at http://www.totallynascar.com. We had a great turnout last year and are always looking for more people to join up. Take a look and if you have any...

I'm in the preparation phase of doing a 4 speed conversion to my 69 Barracuda. The question I have is there a way to replace the steering column collar in order to replace/remove the column shift and gear indicator (Park/Neutral/Drive, etc.). I have another steering column that came out of a...

I am in the process of fixing cracks on my rallye steering wheel for my 69 Barracuda. I know that there are restoration services out there, however the wheel isn't in too bad shape and I don't want to invest too much money in the restoration. The wheel is black and after I have filled in the...

Over the winter I'm doing a four speed conversion to my 69 Barracuda. I assume that I will need a different length of driveshaft. Is there a standard length for 4 speed transmission installs? If so, where is a good place to source a driveshaft? Thanks for your help.

Hi, I'm looking for a driver side chrome grill trim piece that is not broken. If it has to be re-chromed, I'm okay with that. Please PM me if you can help. Thanks.

I recently picked up a 8 3/4 rear-end from a friend of mine. It hasn't been used in quite some time, but everything seems to work/spin freely. Prior to installing this on my car, is there some type of maintenance or checks you would recommend while the unit is not attached to any vehicle...

Hi, I have a pair of tickets for the Busch and Cup race next weekend in Homestead. They are located just after the start/finish line and are high up. My plans changed and I can't make the race. Just looking to get my money back for the tickets. If interested, send me a PM and we can work...
