    Regulator conversion to 1970 late model charging system question

    Thanks for the replies. I was just looking into have consistent voltage to lights at idle since they dim a lot. Also it has electronic ignition and forums I read say the EI’s want the upgraded system as well as the old regulators are less reliable. I have a 68 Barracuda AC (removed) now 340...

    High voltage

    If anyone is still on this thread, the only question I have is: I have two blue wires going to my original alternator, one would eb ignition but what is the other and I assume when converting to solid state regulator I would tie both of these blue wires into my new jumper back to the alternator...

    Random dim lights

    Hello all, as far as the headlights go, I found the bulbs themselves were different and I am getting a duplicate lens so should take care of the problem. I am still having issues with the dash lights. In my research it shows that the light switch is grounded by the dash but when I loosen the...

    Fan shroud hardware on 68 Barracuda small block

    Thanks cudamark I have seen many cars with and without the shroud so not sure if needed but summer time it does get hot. I only have a dummy gage which does not show temp but with heat gun can get up to 215. The engine has a little bigger cam but not heavy on the HP as well as no AC. The fan is...

    Fan shroud hardware on 68 Barracuda small block

    Hi all, I am looking to add a fan shroud but nowhere am I able to see how the shroud is secured to the radiator. I have what I believe to be an aftermarket radiator but there are four holes near the same location as shown on what I also believe to be the correct shroud from Mancini. I find the...

    Drivetrain vibration/noise

    Hello, my first post and might not be a quick or easy answer but might be able to get some ideas of where to start. I purchased a 68 barracuda with a swap from six to 340. The engine started but the 727 was toast so was not able to drive when purchased. I was told the engine was rebuilt (Call me...

    Is there a lock on the LA Rocker arm adjustment screw

    Thanks all for the replies. I think the picture angle made the clearance appear worse than it was. I confirmed the push rod was not hitting the rocker after setting. I actually had to push the screw out some since the lash comp cams recommended was .016/.018 and they were set at .023/.025 This...

    Is there a lock on the LA Rocker arm adjustment screw

    Hi. I am trying to adjust valve lash on 68 barracuda with solid lifters but I am not sure how to adjust the screws. I am used to having a lock nut and turn the screw but there is no lock nut on this type of rocker. Anyone know how to adjust these? I don't want to force it there is some locking...
