Thinking of selling my 65 formula s. The car has been disassembled. The body is good. Will need floor pans in front. I have over $2000 worth of new parts included with the car. New fuel tank installed. New leaf springs installed. Rebuilt transmission installed. 273 commando engine installed with...

I have my 273 Commando wired and ready to start using a remote starter. How do I get power to the coil. Hot wire to ballast resister or to positive on the coil. I have pertonix point replacement. I haven't started on the interior so no wires are connected inside Thanks for your help

I'm to the point of running the wiring and have a question. 2 wires come off the Distributor. I have a color coded wiring diagram but it doesn't show the red wire. I'm sure one wire goes to the coil but where does the other go. This system is stock.

I did make a little progress this week. Thanks for the help

I've assembled most of my 273 commando engine. All looks good but I'm not getting oil to the heads when spinning the pump with my drill. Shows 70 pounds oil preasure. Have new smelling pump. I hope my rechargeable drill just runs down to quickly to pump it up. I have everything assembled except...

I plan on installing the heads on my 273 tommorow. I've read several different articles about adjusting valves. Most talk about adjusting a warm engine. Mine isn't. My question is what measure should I use. Stock 273 commando engine. New pistons and rebuilt heads. New valves. It's been a long...

I should be thankful for my small garage. Seems that I spend more time looking for parts than I do working on my 65 Formula S. I'm in the process of rebuilding my 273 Commando. I have new pistons installed. The new oil pump is installed. Heads are ready to install. So I installed the oil pump...

I have always dreamed of driving the old highway. I've been on parts of it and know its not all open anymore. Just wondering if any of you have had the opportunity to do the trip.

This arrived today. Getting closer!

I need a part number for fel pro intake valve spring seals. Rebuilding my 273 Commando engine and one is bad. I purchased a complete kit which doesn't show a number for these. They are ribbed on the inside. I ordered a set from a local parts store but they are larger and not ribbed Thanks

Would any of you know the part number for felpro valve stem seals for a 273 engine. I purchased a replacement set but they are not correct. Thanks

273 commando pistons. If anyone has a couple extras I really need one or 2. Have my 65 273 disassembled.

I am disassembling my 273 Commando. The cam looks good, but I was looking at summit catalog and just thought what would be a cam that would be close to the stock cam. I know this subject has been discussed many times here. Thanks

In doing a rebuild on my stock 1965 273 commando. Retired so not trying to spend a lot. Pulled the heads and a couple of exhaust valve seats look bad. I haven't taken them to a machine shop yet. From what I've read the exhaust valve seats should be upgraded anyway. Looking at options. I know a...

Is there a way to get the wiper transmission to free up or is it best to replace these. It will move but is really tight. They are out of the car.

I've completely rebuilt the suspension on my 65 Formula S. When I was attaching the front spindles I can't locate 2 of the bolts that go on each side. There are 2 holes and I can only locate 1 for each side. The ones I'm missing appear to be threaded. Where could I find these. I'm sure when I'm...

Need a new gun to paint my 65 Barracuda. No plans for any painting once this is complete. What would be the most cost effective gun for me to purchase. I've used the TCP Global 3 gun set for the dash and interior trim pieces.

I've been using a craftsman compressor for 10 years or so. Still works ok but has an 11 gallon tank. Lowe's has a kobalt 26 gallon unit that looks like it would supply everything I will need. Planning on painting my Barracuda and my dodge ram 1500 this summer. At $298 is this a good deal

Rebuilding the lower control arms in my 65 Barracuda. Have new bushings and shaft. My question is the adjuster bolt works great on both sides, but the lever is very tight on one side. Is there a way to free this up.

Need ground strap that goes between the engine and body on a 65 Barracuda.

I pulled the torsion bars on my 65 Barracuda Formula S and found the numbers 626/7. After a lot of search I found an article by Slantsix Dan from 2013 stating these were equivalent to 892/3. That did make me feel better, but curious why the number difference. Ma Chrysler, right

I was going to reassemble my steering column Saturday and discovered the steering wheel horn switch was broken. I plan on using a grant steering wheel and was curious if any of you had used one. It seems that a horn switch was part of what I received. I'm at work today so don't have access to...

How do like this season's show? So far I'm disappointed. I miss David Rea showing more how too segments. Just not learning anything this year. Too much Mark I guess. Cousin Dougie seems to be lost. Always looked forward to the show before.

I know there should be markings on these, but other than that how can you tell left from right and front to rear. Purchased a set to replace mine and looks as though they have been painted red. I haven't looked at the numbers on the end yet. Just opened these and have them on the work bench.

Looks as if North Carolina will be bracing for a major hurricane Thursday and Friday. Wish it would turn and head east. This may be the strongest storm to hit our state. Stay safe everyone.

Is there a way to prevent or protect or delay exterior chrome and interior plated plastic

My wife says I've lost it, but when I disassembled my 65 formula s I sorted the nuts and bolts by size. Now I'm putting things back together I noticed the bolts have different markings. I found the correct valve cover ones. These may not be correct, but some have 3 dots across the top. Some have...

I ordered the bearing from eBay. Is it supposed to be this tight. I would have to force it in.the inside is a little loose on the rod. Thanks

Ready to install the 273 commando when the rain ends. Just checking on which filter and oil you reccomend

I am looking for the bearing size to use in the lower steering column. I purchased one but it is to large. Not sure it could be forced in, thanks
