After getting a lot of good info from this thread, I got the 20:1 new manual box from PST (fabo discount is great!). The performance on my ‘68 Barracuda FB meets my expectations. I don’t find it any harder to turn than the old box, but love the increased turning for less effort. Was able to...

Yes, there is a seal that goes around the shift select shaft. I suspect that if you can get the seal places other than a trans place but call a local trans shop and ask them where to get one if you can't find yourself. Not sure if you can recplace it without dropping the trans pan and valve...

Exactly what Mopar Head said. Fouled plugs affect ignition, ignition affects idle, low or pulsing idle affects alt output but so do bad grounds, failing amp meter gauges, etc... You can try to get the ignition as dialed in as possible but the plugs will foul again until you correct the issue(s)...

I was in for either future lawyers or politicians but ... From: http://mashable.com/2009/07/02/unknown-lifeform/ Ed Buchan, environmental coordinator at the Raleigh Public Utilities Department, said staff biologists have confirmed that the “creature” is actually a colony of tubifex worms...

Just for those who troll this later... My issue was I used Yukon Axles that were a bit too short because I had the split-spline style sure-grip and was only engaging 1/4 inch in the spiders. I spun the top 1/4 of teeth off my axle. Trans was OK but am still beefing it up with new super...

Yes I was in first... and yes I have the trans apart with $1000+ in parts coming from John at CRT (including super-sprag). Turns out I didn't hurt the sprag but since it is open anyway I am going deep into it with billet drum, etc... If you had something else in mind than by all mean reply or PM...

I just fitted a set of calverts on my 68 cuda (minus the rear shocks - using edelbrock IAS). My rear springs were junk and I needed new ones anyway so went with the split-mono leaf. I putted around with it a few days and I liked the on-street feel. It was a bit more harsh, esp over bumps but...

We have a winner - axles. The drivers side axle was only engaged by 1/3 inch (and that part is now stripped bare). Probably the same for the psgr side. I have a 741 case out of a 71 Dart so think it has clutches but they are probably toast now as well. The Yukon axles measure 25 1/2 inchs...

Well, the rear is out. Not as much damage as I thought. Ring and Pinion seem ok, even spider gears not too bad (a little worn) but I did find some metal shards on the ends of the Yukon axles and in the case housing.. not many but a few... So not really sure what I did to it now. Any...

Yes, it was in low and agree on he sprag. Diff and trans coming out today so may know more later. It was an original unit but seemed solid. The other (more likely) scenario is that when I changed to the 1350 pinion I didn't get the preload correct and it started the failure cascade. I...

Fel-Pro's or similar would be my preference. I think if you go copper you need to have the block o-ringed (wire type) to create a compression seal and copper is sometimes harder to seal fluids with. If you go copper I would consider using the Flatout rubber coated copper ones as they are...

I posted this under different topic but no replies so trying different title and more specifics... I need new third member... Car is 450ish HP automatic in 68 cuda... foot braking it. Plan is to occasioanly drive it street and to track for summer drags. Broke the rear Monday at around...

Since I am going to need a new rear third member for my 8 3/4, I wanted some opinions on the setup. I don't need gear ratio info, just carrier setup options. I should have somewhere between 400-475hp (built 360/727 combo but have not been able to make a pass or dyno to calc hp). It will...

I broke the car... again... I have been working on getting my new 360/727 dialed in on my 68 cuda and had a driveshaft issue and rear trans leak. Today I recieved my new Spicer 1350 shaft and pinion and got it installed, ran it for a shakedown test and on a very robust "roast the tires...

I spoke to the local office I shipped from today and the lady was nice but not very optimistic on finding the missing bolts. When they asked about insurance they said is it over $100? and I said no. She said ok. So I assumed they had some minimum they would insure for but I should have...

MSD said this? Which ignition were you running? I have an MSD Digital-6 and they were pretty firm in their literature about NOTHING else being connected to the coil. Not intending to hijack but I have been working on similar rich running issues with new 360 (large cam, eddies, etc...)...

I wish I could draw half that good to mock up my mods ...LOL.

Random thought... does it have issues without the air cleaner on it i.e. while you are tuning it? I had similar issue where I could get my 360 to run decent without air cleaner while tuning, but on the road it was crap, stumbling, plugs fouled black dry sootty, etc... I found that my air...

On the face of it that sounds like a pretty stupid statement/excuse but I guess it depends on the part and what you paid for it. I assume you had a resto part that did not fit as one might expect it to? People usually only make statements like this when they are trying to avoid taking...

I doubt the pump costs that much and the sealing rings and gaskets are cheap from the local tranny parts/gear shop... the pump is easy to get off, little harder to get back on right the first time but if it was just the pump you could replace it. Usually not just the pump unfortunatley and you...

Your wagon is just flat cool! (sorry... your waggin' ) 8)

Any one of us can have a bad experience with any company... if it happens repeatedly to many people, the company usually eventually dies. If the company tries hard to make a bad deal or a mistake right... then they deserve some lattitude IMO. I don't know if there are more than one "good"...

Funny how things work... I sent $30 to Adam, then yesterday got a check in the mail from my doctors office for $30 from an amount I had overpaid (last year!) Yeah... that never happens... Looks like this where it was suppose to go to me. $30 sent paypal (gift, no payback needed) 8)...

$30 sent paypal. A bunch of amazing members here... Adam, try to avoid sweating the small stuff and certainly don't let it ruin your health. Finish your car and trust that it will work out as it needs to. I believe you and your family will pull through fine and you can take the whole clan joy...

Do you remember what the drop is in inches and is that a 4" element? IT looks like you hve something other than an air gap but could be wrong. Thanks!

I too have a 68 barracuda with the air gap on a 360. I thought I was being clever using a K&N fliter top with a 2" element since the top would let enough extra air in right? NOT! At least not if it is snug within 1/2" against the hood!! Also the K&N is a FLAT underside (not domed) and with a...

Dash switch panel mod... I guess that this will be one of thos mods that some like some don't, I DO... so I DID 8) This was a painless wiring switch panel that I re-purposed for my cars electrical. I had Rocky Mountain leave radio cutout in and I hand drilled these - they are close but...

One more vote for SEM paint. I was adv ised to use the SEM satin black and then satin clear coat on some maroon sun visors and kick panels. I did and I can't tell the difference from my original black dash. The satin clear coat really made it look correct to me.

Looking for nicer than driver, but not neccissarily show quality front grills for my 68. PM me with any info or email to [email protected] I have a few driver quality grills but my car has taken a step up towards local show quality and I would prefer to have fewer dings than my drivers...

So I missed this somewhere... are these no longer being made at all or just by you - VOETOM? You should brag about that work, it looks very well done.
