I've installed this chrome fuel pump and from what I can tell, it is functioning as it should. Here is the problem, the round case on the fuel pump touches a round casting area that sticks out the front of the passenger side block. I feel as though I'm getting heat soak out of the block into...

Just wanted to share the information for this show on the coast of North Carolina (Morehead City specifically) for those that are close enough to attend. This is a local show, however it is quite fun since they incorporate it with the large cigarette race boats that will be running that...

Just curious if anyone knows what happened to the Gone Fishin' (1997 movie) Barracuda. I know it was on the backlot tour at Disney for several years, but the last time we went, it was gone and they had revamped the vehicles they kept there. Anyone in the Florida area or even worked for Disney...

I have been scanning through the archives about fuel sending units and how several of the reproduction ones out there aren't the correct ohm rating and don't read correctly. However, I didn't see where anyone had actually found a source or brand for a good unit that DOES read correctly. Before...

Ok, my LD340 intake is flat- no recess for the thermostat. My new o-ring water neck is also flat- no recess. Do I have to buy a new waterneck or should it seal ok? I'm using a stock thermostat. Anyone with any experience on these?

I just had my Barracuda radiator delivered! The first one I ordered from their latest catalog (part# 1639) didn't fit (bottom tank too deep), so I happened to stumble on an old website where they had a different radiator photograph that matched my stock radiator size. After a couple of phone...

Ok, now that I have my new battery and it is charged (putting out 12.7 volts without car running) I was looking to where I can tie in my electric choke. Upon checking for power with key on, I find that the voltage at the voltage regulator (center pin) that connects to the key on and to...

Ok, I have my engine, tranny, headers, and new starter all in and wired. I was going to bump my starter to make sure all my connections were good. However, when I bumped it, I got a short horrible grinding noise (immediately let off the key). Tried again, same noise... now, here I am...

Ok, I'm at the point where I can now drop in the new engine, new 727 transmission, and install the headers. This is a power steering car and was originally a 318, 904 car. I have all new 340 mounts. Hood is off. The question that keeps going through my head is in what order. I did a search in...

Ok, I've been looking for replacement weatherstripping for my Barracuda. My original weatherstripping wrapped around the edges on the top and side, but transitioned over to be glued flat at the bottom. See the attached picture. Everyone seems to be selling the later style weatherstrip that...

I have converted my Barracuda from lap belts only to factory shoulder harnesses. With the metal clips mounted under my sunvisors and the buckles clipped in place, the sunvior corners keep the sunvisors from storing all the way up. Is there a shape difference in the sunvisors between a lap belt...

Anybody happen to have one of those steering coupler clamps laying around they are willing to part with? I'm getting tired of trying to bend those little tabs....

Ok, now that 15" RWL letter tires are becoming obsolete, I'm considering "modernizing" my Barracuda by moving up to a 17" wheel. I do know that most say a 5" to 5.5" backspacing is required to get a 245/45/17 on the front (will anything larger on front fit?) and a 5" rear backspacing for maybe...

Well, in my continuing effort to get my car done, I have started focusing on the exhaust. I decided to order the stainless tips from Accurate, LTD in the 2.5" size since I plan using headers, x-pipe, and decent flowing mufflers (haven't made my final decision on those yet). ANYWAYS, I thought I...

I just got a call from my machine shop to let me know they have broken in and dyno'ed my mild stroker I had them build. My goal was a nice torquey 400+ hp motor for the street (727 tranny, 3.23 gear) and I think I nailed it right on the head! Here is the rundown: 1973 340 block- .030 over...

I ordered and received a set of new 1969-down heater hose/bypass fittings for my Barracuda. One of them is a LONG fitting.. where the heck does that one go? I've looked for a picture as an example and can't find it. I know my waterpump has been replaced on my 1968 318 before so I can't use it as...

Ok, this is a weird one. Carried my 1968 Barracuda seats in to my local upholsterer to get my new pearl white seat covers installed. I happened to swing in since I hadn’t heard from them in a little while to find out when they sat one of the seats in the sun to soften the vinyl, that my...

I need a favor from you all with original 1968-69 small block cars with TRW power steering pumps (large notch in the rear). I need a good picture of the bracket and pump installed. Here is why (might help you in shooting a digital image): When I bought my car from the original owner, it had...

I'm going to be carpeting a custom built set of side panels I modified for speakers (yes my originals are in storage). Question is as follows for those who have carpet and/or installed new carpet: Since the panels I got from ACC Carpet are oversize, I don't know exactly how the carpet overlaps...

For those of you who are parting out 67-69 Barracuda Fastbacks---I'm looking for a set of the steel interior side panels that are on the left and right side of the fastback area. Color and condition does not matter (unless they are heavily dented or rusted really bad). I'm planning on cutting...

I'm in need of an A/C vent support bracket that will work with my 1968 Barracuda chrome vents. See attached picture. I have been told that the bracket is the same through 1976, but I can not verify this.

I'm in the process of adding the factory chrome A/C vents to the bottom of a non-A/C dash (making a custom/factory looking setup). Can anyone post pictures of how they attach to the bottom of the dash of a 67-69 Barracuda/Dart? Mine is actually a 68 in case there is a difference with the wrap...

I have discovered that some of the "kits" for A-bodies do not have accurate plugs, grommets, and bumpers in them for the 1968 Barracuda. I'm missing a few and didn't know if anyone out there that have found these new could share where they got them. Here is what I'm looking for: Antenna...

I purchased my 318 '68 Barracuda Fastback from the original owner in 1985 where it had sat on blocks since 1979. Most of the car was original, however, there were still a handful of items that had been either repaired, replaced, or just missing over the years. Still the car was amazingly...

I'm looking for a passenger side unbroken trim molding- but will buy a pair if you have a set that is in good shape. Found out mine was cracked/broken when I went to collect parts for paint. I'm not concerned on color, but a maroon set would keep me from having to repaint. Let me know what...
