FWIW, I would like to relay some experiences with the subject title. When I first got my 68 Cuda Coupe I jacked it up with a floor jack under the torsion bar cross member with the drivers door open. When I tried to close the door the latch and striker were off by almost 1/2". That much flex...

Anyone know what the diameter of the sleeve that the throughout bearing slides on? I am putting a T5 in my Barracuda and the T5 sleeve is larger than the 23 spline 4spd I currently have. Hoping the Hemi 4spd is closer and I can either machine the T5 or the throughout bearing to work.

My wife has been wanting a new car and we have been checking out various different brands. I really wanted to decide that a mopar was the right choice but she wanted something small like her current PT Cruiser and we were both luke warm about the Caliber. So this is her new ride. A 2012 Ford...

I have power steering in my Barracuda and I used to have manual. When I swapped to power I installed a power column I had picked up at a swap meet. My question is the power column coupler that attaches to the steering box is 3 3/4" long. The one on the manual box is 3" long. Short of taking...

Has anyone seen the June issue of Mopar Action? Passion Performance is coming out with a 5spd that is a straight drop in replacement for an A833 4spd. Same clutch, bellhousing, drive shaft and cross member can be used and no floor modifications. They are rating it at 650 ft-lbs for torque...

I just ran across a Direct Connection \6 Windage Tray P/N P3690274 that I thought I had gotten rid of years ago. This is just the tray, the main bolts with the provisions to mount the tray aren't part of this part number. I have been told you can use SB widage tray main bolts. The tray has...

I am looking for the small U shaped bracket that goes between the bumpers and the body on the ends of the bumper where the wrap around. I need (3) but will take 1-4. Thanks!

Hoping someone that has a PT might have run into this issue and can point me in the right direction. My wifes PT makes a clunking noise up front when rebounding off a bump. Doesn't do it when you hit the bump only on the rebound and most often when going through a dip in the road. I...

Just got back from a weeks vacation in Aruba. This was our third trip down so I didn't feel compelled to do all the tourist activities and spent some time driving around the island looking for interesting things to see. We were heading down to San Nicholas for lunch one day when we met a 70...

A friend of mine was looking to clean out his garage and I scored the 340 long block that was sitting under his bench. The engine only has ~2k miles on a rebuild but I tore into it to see what I had. The pistons are Speed Pro forged L2316's at 0.030 over. They are sitting at zero deck in the...

I have been hemming and hawing for several years about getting a lift for my garage. I have been torn between a 2-post and 4-post lift which has kept me from making a decision. Because of the width between the posts and the permanent anchoring to the floor the 2-poster would basically relagate...

I went to Fort Worth for a few days to visit my daughter last week and we had an opportunity to go over to TMS to check it out. Well Team Texas High Perfromance Driving School was having ride and drive day in Sprint cup cars. We were there to late to sign up for a driving experince but my son...

Santa brought me new Rally wheels for the 'Cuda and I finally got the fronts mounted over the week end. I have gone from 235/60-14 Rally wheels all around to 255/60 on 15x8 on the back and 225/60 on 15x7 up front. I think it give the car a much more agressive stance.

Some time ago I ran across a web site that sold a plastic version of the Mopar Ralley Wheel Center caps. They were less than $100 for a set of 4. Does anyone have the URL to the site selling these?

I throughly enjoy driving my 68 Barracuda and the one thing that would make it more enjoyable is to get some of the squeaks and rattles out of it. I don't have an issue on smooth roads but bumps and rough roads brings them out. I was wondering if anyone had any tricks to tracking them down...

Over the years we some times get complacent with mundane activities and it came back to bite me today. The Barracuda was due for an oil change and the wife was off to a baby shower so what better time to spend some quality time in the garage. So I changed the oil and filter on the Barracuda...

I recently swapped out the Holley 4160 series 600 cfm carb on my 360 to a 4160 series #3310-2 750 cfm carb. The 750 works quite well and I definately have a bunch more top end but I get quite a bog when I step on the gas which I didn't have with the 600. I figured that I need to work on the...

My job is here in Mass is closing down latter this year and is relocating to Salt Lake. I have an opportunity to go with it and would like to talk with some folks that live in the area. Anyone willing to give me a run down on what it's like to live in Salt Lake city area? Thanks!

I started my manual to power steering swap on the Barracuda and I took the brackets out to attach to the new pump and I am not sure how they mount to the pump and engine. Anyone have a picture of there sb engine with power steering they can post that shows how the brackets mount to the pump...

I was playing around and took the video tape of my car on a local cable show called Rides (no not the Rides on TLC) from a few years ago and made a video of it. Check it out. http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a202/dgc333/?action=view&current=Daves_Barracuda.flv Of course I have done...

I have been wanting to do something to give the sub-lime paint on my Barracuda a little contrast. I had been debating for over a year as to which stripe to put on the car; 68, 69 lower or 69 upper. I decided on the 69 upper stripe. Purchased it from Performance Car Graphics and they change the...

My son just picked up one of the new MP billet distributors (p/n P5249776) for my Barracuda. I had been looking at getting a new distributor that has an adjustable mechanical advance and this unit does. Plus it still uses stock style cap and rotors so you can do a tune up without ordering those...

The flasher on my 68 Barracuda quite and not being as thin or young as I once was it's not easy for me to see up under the dash. Anyone that has been under the dash recently of a 68 Barracuda and can give me a general location I would appreciate it. The emergency flasher is just to the left...

I picked up an MSD 6A and went to install it today and it wouldn't start. Followed MSD'd trouble shooting guide and the MSD is producing a spark when either the white wire is grounded or the purple & green wires are jumped. This tells me that the green / purple wiring is not getting a signal...

My car developed a roughness just off idle that got progressively worse until it was a definate miss. It started right when I put a new carb on so for the past couple of weeks I was chasing that until I ruled it out. I ruled out internal engine with a compression test so looked to the...

I have been running a Holley 4160 600cfm vacuum secondary carb on the 360 in my 68 Barracuda and I want to purchase a new carb. The car runs very well with the 600 but I want soemthing new that is sized more appropriately for the engine. The 360 is a 10.6:1 magnumed headed motor with a comp...

Anyone have any interest in a set of 5.7l Hemi heads? The dealer my son works at just swaped out a hemi motor in a Ram. The block is junk (number 5 cam through the side) but the heads are OK. I can get them for cheap (likely the scrap aluminum value).
