    383 A body front sway bar same as 340?

    Right now I have the front sway bar from my non-running 69 Cuda 383 on the front of my 67 Barracuda. I know the 383 torsion bars were bigger (.890 vs. .870). Can't remember about the sway bars, though. At some point I will need to put a sway bar back on the 69. Just wondering if a 340 bar...

    67-72 windshield plastic inner pillar post moldings

    The ones in my 67 Barracuda are broken/cracked in several places. The damage is not that noticeable if you don't look close, but it is there. Classic industries lists a set in black for 67-72 Darts and 67-69 Barracudas. Not cheap, of course, but also they say "arriving soon." I.e., they...

    1962 factory 318 poly Carter AFB four barrel, cfm?

    I'm running a 1962 318 power pack Carter AFB on my slant six. Runs well overall, although I think it is probably bigger than I need, and it does have a mild bog when the secondaries first open under full throttle in low gear (automatic, 2.94 gears). Anyone know what the cfm rating on this...

    My ex son-in-law was murdered Saturday night

    Don't really know much more than the article says, except that we know the victim was my ex son-in-law and that the scene was "grisly." My step-daughter divorced him over 20 years ago, but they had one son together, so he's never been completely out of the picture. LCSO arrests man for first...

    ******** Checkup

    I went for a ******** checkup last Friday. The Thai nurse cupped my balls and said, "Don't worry, it's quite normal to get an erection during this procedure." I said, "I don't have an erection." She said, "No, but I do."

    Carter AFB accelerator pump needle removal

    Have a Carter AFB on my slant six, OEM for a 62 318 poly. Bought it NOS a few years ago. Well, it's been sitting for a few months, big surprise the accelerator pump isn't working. (The needles and seats leaked, too, but I fixed that.) So, pulled the carb apart. Pump piston is in good shape...

    Supercharged Slant Six

    Friend of mine for over 30 years despite our now living several hundred miles apart, recently put a Torque Storm supercharger on the slant six in his 63 4-speed Valiant. After playing around with a couple of different carburetors, he decided to go fuel injection. Holley Sniper. Here's a...

    July 15, 1914 – Dodge Brothers make their last Ford part

    Dodge Brothers' machine shop was a major component supplier for Oldsmobile and Ford, including transmissions for Oldsmobile, and engines, transmissions and axles for Ford. They made enough money at it to start their own company. Not long after, they were the third largest auto manufacturer in...

    You like 62 Plymouths?

    Some think they're ugly, but I love them. All the 62-65 B bodies for that matter. A friend who summers in North Carolina and winters here in Tallahassee sent me these pix of a 62 Plymouth Fury 2dr hardtop that won best in show at a nearby Mopar show last weekend. It's red, and has the...

    Thoughts on the front suspension/steering setup on this 65 Barracuda

    Friend of mine is interested in this 65 Barracuda currently listed on Facebook by the son of the deceased builder. Seller admittedly knows very little about it. Very homemade looking (to me), not at all sure about the geometry of those rear-facing struts. Also, right now, no motor mounts...

    Fast is relative, Hemi vs. Hemi

    I reckon I can tell this story now. Many decades have passed, statute of limitations has run, Dad passed away a long time ago, Mom has long been retired from school teaching, and now has dementia and lives in an assisted living facility. Back in 1953, Mom and Dad owned a 51 Kaiser. Flathead...

    750 Holley electric choke question

    Never have run chokes any anything. Back in the day, no problem, let it sit for a month, pump the gas couple of times, fires right up. Then keep foot on throttle to keep it from dying until it warms up a bit (or just drive off; once you get the rpm's up just a little bit, it would run fine)...

    4 piston, small bolt pattern caliper rebuild

    Rebuilt the calipers in my 65 Barracuda (not original to the car). Hooked everything up and applied the brakes. Fluid leaked from some or most or all of the brake line fittings (been a while, can't remember how many of them leaked). Took me a while to figure out what the deal was, but turns...

    [FOR SALE] 1965 Barracuda hood trim

    I have five used hood trim pieces that cover the latch on the front of 65 Barracuda and Valiant hoods. Also 64 Barracuda (I think). 64 Valiants I believe used a different piece, but feel free to correct me. None are mint. Two have barnacles on the top, shiny part. No barnacles on the other...

    Poster sized 65 Barracuda Formula S Ad

    Not sure if this belongs here or not, as it is not a mechanical discussion, but it is about early A's. I'm sure many of you have seen the original "Did You Know" magazine ad which was in quite a few magazines back in the day. I bought this poster sized blow up a few months ago off ebay...

    What happened to my Mopar electronic ignition orange box

    Did this while just sitting in the garage. Or maybe I just noticed it while it was sitting in the garage. ?? I used a plastic scraper and a heat gun to successfully remove all this without leaving a mark on the paint.

    So how far back does your Mopar experience go?

    I'm older than most on here, I think. Here's a picture from probably 1955-56 or so. Our 1952 DeSoto. Nothing special, huh? Four door sedan, wide whitewalls, completely stock exterior. Under the hood, though, its original 276 hemi had been bored to a 291, heads milled .100, dual two barrel...
