    Custom Thru Valance Exhaust Journey

    A little stir crazy after foot surgery thought I'd share a " what's possible" . Duplicating the valance curve was easy, used on- line software to print the hole patterns then built a test bunk. Ultimately I was too cavalier about the bunks' actual relationship to parallel/ car so bottom of...

    7290 Style U Joint issue

    Upon a recent inspection I noticed I can wobble the drive line with my hand. On the tranny end the caps are captured and the center section moves in both directions equally within the caps. The Axle end UJ is good, trans end U joint is the issue. Both U joints have less than 100 miles. 68...

    Large Man Now Qualifies for Cirque du Soleil

    I made it through 10 pages in the Brake Forum, then decided that I've done my due diligence before adding this post. I never had a factory primary parking cable so I don't know if the attachment end on this Classic Industries unit is correct, the housing end (2.) is a bit short relative to the...

    Fuel Sender Ohms

    Yeah, got the cheap fuel cell off Amazon. Fuel sender "works with 90 ohm gauge" and I get nothing. Factory sender works perfectly. Before I entertain fabbing the factory sender into this tanks side, im searching for a top fit sender that might work, how many Ohms is the factory sender? 1968...

    Fuel Cell Inlet

    I'm going with my original plan for an in- trunk cell. I'll write what I want to do, reply if you've had experience with custom cells etc. I want to employ the original fill location instead of filling through the trunk opening. This would be done using a section or sections of flexible fuel...

    How Fat can I go you say?

    Before the decision to tear this car down I spent 13 years avoiding it, all the while looking at 100's of Gen II Barracudas, what stances I liked things I liked and disliked about the car and what wheels I thought would compliment what I had in mind. When I found the Year One Rallye the wheel...

    Routing factory main fuel line

    Here's my routing question: I can't recall if the fuel line was supposed to bend inboard just aft of the passenger seat support, possibly ride along that upper bracing flange. Pulling the line back towards the tank this is as far as it will go. This doesn't look like a factory resting place. Any...

    Confirming the Miracle of Patience and Copper Flares

    Ive read many posts here and on other sites about SS tubes leaking since I was dealing with this issue myself on a brake system where literally every part was brand new except the pedal. Since I was determined to do this exercise only ONCE more, Here's what I did: If your engine is in...

    Master Cylinder Internal Arrangement Question

    This is a RSD-DBMC10 I got from Summit. I bench bled it months ago with DOT 3, All other brake components are new and have never seen brake fluid. Now I have made the decision to go with DOT 5 and am cleaning it out. I coaxed the rear piston out with some air, careful not to eject it across the...

    Bell Never Aligned

    My fit up on this build has expanded to actually driving the car a bit before final tear down. Actually driving the car before tear down wasn't always the plan so when I took on the 8 Barrel Hood idea, the 340 went in the car along with the A833 for support reasons only. I used my factory bell...

    68 Barracuda front to rear brake line route

    Guys, I've got all new ss brake lines done except for the front to rear tube. The new lines come bent in half sometimes to reduce shipping box length so there's that and my fuzzy memory from 7 years ago when I tore the car down that have me unsure how this line routes. Ive searched this Forum...

    Pilot bushing

    Finally pulled the 4spd to install a clutch thought I had the right bushing but o.d. is too much. Tomorrow I guess I'll pull the flywheel off to get my cheapie calipers in there for a measurement. Motor is a '69 340, I believe crank specs are on my office p.c. somewhere, any ideas out there...

    68 Notch factory Master Cylinder

    Rear brake upgrade to 11x2.5 is complete. Digging into my old lines and M/C I was expecting to see a larger front reservoir for this factory front disc car. Will this M/C be ok with my newer single piston front disc set up? Question 2: Should I buy new P valve and junction block or refurb...

    No ACL and less than 400 hp, sell me on a clutch

    Well, reading several posts in here ive already learned some clutch dos and don'ts. My clutch experience includes factory style on my Road Runner as a kid, and the McCleod something something behind the small block in my 73 Land Cruiser. That's it. The LandCruiser also has factory hydraulic...

    Sway Bar yes or no

    Im revisiting the idea of a sway bar. Now, im probably a year or 2 away from finished paint, assembly and driving. My car is a 68 Notch with a fresh 340. Ive upgraded the front with QA1 LCA and POL UCA including a 2" drop spindle with DBs. I assume with a lower stance, a sway bar would help...

    Torque box question

    I welded in sub frame connectors years ago, car was level and on jacks. Of course, THEN I bought a rotisserie lol. Once this car is disassembled again it'll go back on the twirler for mods at the spare tire well for new valance exit exhaust route. I will be installing torque boxes too. Common...

    340 break in question

    Hi all, Sunday I decided to hook up fuel and start the 1969 340X for the first time, what a glorious sound, and a milestone for this build. A substantial inlet bowl fitting leak shut things down and kicked my butt for the next hour so the run time was all of 15 seconds. This is only the 3rd new...

    Yo Yo Mopar

    Been grinding on this car for about 2 years. Covid, record heat in Phoenix, and chasing parts has had an affect I think. Sarcasm and stupid humor keeps me laughing ( at myself) so, I took the Mopar M rem from the throttle bracket I had to modify, chromed it with the rest of the stuff and im...
