My newly built 408 small block (67 Barracuda) has had problems at 4500to 5000 rpms. The engine gets off the line and runs great until I hit right around that rpm range. Frankly, that should be in its power range. (Eddie 800, Hughes 3237 cam). It seems to be cutting out from lack of gas...

Anybody want to venture a guess, or a a starting point, on why my wipers work on low speed but not on high? It is a 67 Barracuda. Has a two speed switch. The wiper motor is the kind that is parallel to the firewall, not the kind that is perpendicular to the firewall.

I am hooking up relays for my headlights (one for each headlight) and a small electric fan. Neither of the relays have fuses. Two questions: 1) Do I put the fuse between the starter relay and the relay? 2) The headlight relays are rated for 30 amps, and the fan relay is rated for 16 amps...

I need to get into my heater box (67 Barracuda, no AC) to fix a noisy fan. I was just going to take the front section off, not pull the whole box. Are there clips on the right side of the heater box against the kick panel? It seems to be stuck on that side, but maybe the caulking is just...

The glass in my rearview mirror in my 67 Barracuda is really bad. It has a day/night switch on the bottom. I can barely see anything with it. I have a similar one which I can use, but the glass is still not great, and I would like to keep the original. I asked a local glass shop guy if he...

My dash gauge lights are kind of dim. I plan to take out my dash in a week or two to fix some gauges and was wondering if anybody has a part number for brighter dash bulbs. 67 Barracuda with rallye gauges. Thanks!

I'm pretty much a rank amateur mechanic. But I built an engine and it runs. I couldn't have done it without the help of this forum :grin:. After the initial break in, I had a couple of oil leaks and the intake wasn't sealed correctly. I fixed this stuff and now I need some help to dial it...

D'oh, can't edit the title, see other post please. Is there a way to delete a post?

I believe a member here does stripes for our Mopars? I'm looking for the 67 lower stripes (white) and want a good set.

My Speedometer just broke. I checked the cable and it seems fine. I have a 67 Barracuda with the 150 mph speedo. Can these be fixed? Is it hard? Is there somebody who specializes in fixing speedos? I have a 3 3/8" Autometer speedometer in my Dart and it looks like (more or less) the same...

67 Barracuda, 408 stroker, Edelbrock Air Gap intake. I just switched from a Holley to an Edelbrock carb. The Edelbrock has an electric choke and the fuel inlet is at the top of the carb, so the drop type air cleaner I had (14" diameter, 3" tall filter element) won't fit. It hits on the choke...

I seem to have lost the center cap for one of my wheels. American Racing Torq Thrust bolt on (5 bolts/screws), aluminum. If anybody has one sitting around, I would love to purchase it. Here is what it looks like. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ARE-3505203/?rtype=10 Hopefully somebody...

I have a "stockish" FBO ignition system on my 408 (chrome box, stock but recurved dist, ballast resistor). Is there a rev limiter I can use with this? I've never used a rev limiter before, but this car gets up there in a hurry. I tried calling FBO a couple of times and no answer and no...

I just finished my 67 Barracuda (finally!) Anyway, It has manual brakes with the 73+ front discs and 2.5"X10"rear drums. I used one of those aluminum master cylinders with the 1 1/8" bore. The brakes stop pretty good, but there is only about 1/2" of pedal travel and I have to press really...

67 Barracuda, rallye gauges. My oil pressure and water temp gauges work. My fuel gauge doesn't. I have one of those RTE/Dash Worx solid state voltage limiters wired onto the back of the gauge panel. I have a new sender unit installed into the new gas tank, and have a clean ground strap on...

If you feel like building your own steering column, I have everything you need to build your own. The column currently has a power steering shaft in it, but I have a manual steering shaft if you want to change it out. I have the two different lengths of power steering shafts, depending on what...

When I got my car, it had bumper guards, and I just got the bumpers and bumper guards rechromed. It seems I don't have the holes for the proper placement of the guards. At the time I got the car (2.5 years ago) it seemed to me that the bumper guards were kind of weird, on the back bumper, it...

I went to ebay to look for some "Formula S" emblems to put on my 67 Barracuda. After looking at 4 pages of Barracuda emblems, I didn't see any of these. Are these unusual, or so common that nobody wants them? If they are unusual, I will probably just put them back on after the paint is done...

My 67 Barracuda is almost done (after 2 1/2 years). It is at the paint shop and should be out next week. Then all I have to do is put all the trim back on and a little engine tuning, and a zillion other little details I can poke away at (you all probably know what I mean). Anyway, I ordered...

I probably only have about 45 minutes run time on my newly completed engine, sounded pretty peppy. I just got the exhaust system on yesterday and heard some clicking and popping. (Before it was open headers). Anyway, I pulled the valve covers and one of the adjustment bolts for the Hughes...

My TTI headers touch my mini starter. Do others have this problem? Will my starter fry? Obviously the rubber cover on the bolts will melt if I don't remove them. What have you done to fix this?

I have two 10" 1200 cfm electric fans. Will these keep my engine cool enough? I live in Redding, CA. Temps over 100 degrees are common in the summer. I also have a seven blade flex fan I can put on the water pump pulley. Which would be better? The radiator is a two core aluminum and the...

Stock height Mopar Performance valve covers. I know a lot of you have these. Has anybody had any issues with clearance with roller rockers? I have the Hughes roller rockers. Also, do they come with a baffle kit or something, because according to Summit (in the product description) they do...

408 SB in 67 Barracuda. I got the engine broken in with the stock manifolds and now I am going to install my TTI headers. Is there any way to get these in without pulling the engine? Will I need to pull the steering column or steering box? (power steering) Any hints or advice is...

408 SB. New engine I finally got it all together, and went to start it for the first time. Definitely have fuel, and I must have spark since it backfired and flames were coming from the carb. It almost starts, but won't. It seems like a timing issue. I put it at TDC by feeling the air...

What is a good way to make sure you have spark to the spark plugs without cranking the motor? I am going to start my engine for the first time, but I might as well make sure before I crank it that the plugs have power. EDIT: I guess I hit the wrong forum button, as this is a 408 small...

I was wondering if I should fill the block with water/antifreeze before starting it. It is a new engine. This is my first build and I am about to break in the engine. Or, will it fill OK just by filling the radiator? Or, should I take out the thermostat?

I was going to put the mechanical water temp gauge in the hole pictured, but it is not deep enough for the long sender. I have a 3/8 x 3/8 bushing that would increase the height, but the probe doesn't quite fit through. Can these sender/probes on the Sunpro mech water temp gauges be cut or...

I am just about ready to start my engine for the first time. I primed the oil pump with one of those oil primer rods and a drill. I had an oil pressure gauge and went to about 60 psi. There was a big puddle of oil under the rear of the engine. I thought the rear main seal was bad, but it...
