    Brake Bleed?

    Replaced both calipers (18-4067 & 18-4068) and brake hoses (HSP5563OM). After cold start and car has been sitting for awhile, I have to pump the brake pedal a couple times to get the brakes to firm up. After that, everything is good. Assume I just need to bleed them again but curious if there...

    68 Barracuda Front Suspension Rebuild Kit

    Looking for suggestions for a rebuild kit for a 68 Barracuda with disk brakes. I saw a few out there and noticed they are specific for either drum or disk. Aside from the suggestion, what are the differences out of curiously (drum vs disk)?. From looking at pictures, it looks like the idler arm...

    Bad Pull to The Right

    68 Barracuda. I recently swapped out the passenger lower control arm bushing (PITA) and noticed a bad pull to the right after re-installing all of the suspension components. Everything was reassembled back to pre-tear down spec (at least I thought?). I had an alignment done about 2-3 weeks prior...

    What's That Ticking?

    A couple days ago I noticed a ticking coming from my LA360. It's not an exhaust leak so we can count that out. Only happens when engine is at running temp at about 180 degrees. Not present on cold starts and while warming up. Present while in drive, park and neutral at running temp. Ticking...

    Looking for a recommendation for a solid engine rebuilder in the Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater, FL area. I have an LA360 that I want mildly built with some bulletproof components. Pretty sure I have a rod bearing on it's way out. I'm getting a ticking noise once the engine is up to temp.

    Looking for a better rear end gear ratio for cruising speeds. Current set up is 410 gears, TF 904 with a 2000 stall and 25.5in diameter tires, which screams at 4k rpm around 70 mph. Ideally I would like to be around 2,500 rpm at 70 mph.

    727 Torque Converter

    Looking for the correct torque converter for a 727 auto mated to an LA360. Pretty sure this is where my vibration issue is coming from.

    A-727 Kickdown

    I've been trying to get my kickdown to engage passing gear to no avail. I checked the linkage connected to the carb and everything lines up perfectly at idle and WOT. However, I noticed that the kickdown lever connected to the trans has no spring load whatsoever to keep it in the forward...

    Vibration at 2200 RPM

    68 Barracuda with an externally balanced LA360. Been trying to narrow down the cause of the vibration at around 2200 RPM. Replaced the all metal motor mounts with correct rubber mounts, which helped a bit. The harmonic balancer was old and worn so thought maybe that could have been the issue...

    Fuel Pressure Regulator Required?

    Currently running a Holley Red Electric fuel pump that runs at 7psi. Holley says a fuel pressure regulator is not required with this pump. However, my Edelbrock AVS2 states no more than 6.5psi. Am I safe without one or should I install a regulator?

    Hedman Tight Tubes

    My current Hedman Tight Tubes are failing. Not too sure how old they are and previous owner is thinking 10ish years but not sure. Left one was cracked bad and a weld job temporarily fixed the issue but the leak is back. Right one is starting to go too. Do these hold up for the most past for a...

    Fuel Cell Foam

    Installing a new Holley Red Electric fuel pump to replace an existing one that is going bad. I took apart the old one and noticed that there were very small bits of foam around the flame arrestor screen. At first it looked like metal shavings. Took a peak in the fuel cell after all the fuel was...

    Starter Relay

    I think I have a faulty starter relay (hopefully). Starting there and working my way down to the solenoid. 68 Barracuda will intermittently not turn over the starter whatsoever.
