Couldn't find a thread dealing exactly with this issue. The ammeter gauge (Stewart Warner) intermittently pegs out on the charge side while at cruising speed (2000rpm). As the rpm's decrease, the needle moves back towards center than climb back to to fully charging as the rpms increase. Then as...

This is how I tightened my two post mirror head. After pushing in on the glass I removed the locking ring and then removed the glass and spring. I then used a pair on my welding vice grips as shown in the pics to compress the black plate on either side of the ball. Worked like a charm. I didn’t...

I have searched this topic but couldn’t find a post on how I wanted to do a shoulder belt install so here is how I addressed the shoulder belt issue in my early A body (Barracuda). I wanted to do the early 3 point system that I once had in my 68 Barracuda. The belts are PG Classics reproduction...

Finally done. Built in the yard and the driveway. That would be rattle can paint.

Without the car running my am radio works great but when the car is running I have static. The static does not seem to change pitch with the acceleration of the motor but it’s so bad it basically wipes out by very strong am station. What am I looking at here?

Can someone please tell me if there’s a difference between the driver side and passenger side door glass? When I put a straight edge on the glass there seems to be an ever so slight crown but it’s hard to tell for sure. The window edge chrome seems to have a curvature as well but almost more...

Thought this might be helpful. I have a donut from a late model Crown Vic as a spare for my 1965 Barracuda. I chose this doughnut because of the 4 1/2 bolt pattern and that it does not protrude past the trunk floor.I needed a hold down to secure it and didn’t want to spend the money or wait for...

Looking for the measurement from an A body roof mount seat belt. I need the measurement between the visor seatbelt attachment and the actual seatbelt attachment point. I am considering installing a 68/69 three point roof mount belt on my 64 barracuda.

So I bought a kit to repair my coupler on the end of the steering shaft. When I took apart my existing coupler the seal was shot as was the seal cover. The inside was hard rusty greese but when I cleaned up the end, everything seems fine. I don't see any wear on the two blocks on the end.Do...

Need two head light retainer rings from a 64-65 Barracuda or Valiant and a NOS left tail light lense from 64-65 Barracuda or 65 Valiant. New York.

Are the 64-65 Barracuda headlight retainer rings shared with any other years or models? I need two and I see 67-69's readily available.

I removed the lenses from a 64/65 Valiant/Barracuda tail light assembly and noticed a translucent amber coating on the tail/brake light bucket but not the reverse light bucket. It was bubbling and flaking but it covered the entire bucket area. It was not present on the other tail light assembly...

Is there a chart that not only shows bolt diameter/thread count but also bolt length? I have lots of loose engine bolts/hardware but I need to know the length of the various bolts that are used in the small block i.e, oil pump attaching bolts, pan bolts, bell housing etc.

I know this is a stupid question but I'm going for it. I do need a crank bolt, correct? The reason I ask is I have a new Mopar crate 5.9 and there isn't a crank bolt. I wasn't sure if this was a magnum thing or it was removed by the previous owner. If in fact it does need a crank bolt, and I'm...

I'm putting my gauge cluster back together after being apart for yrs and I must have removed the tape from behind the rectangular opening at the 75 mph mark. Am I correct that this opening is the high beam indicator and what color is it when its on high beams? The tape over the opening was red...

Okay, what am I doing wrong? I have two radios that I'm trying to bench test. I have them hooked up to a car battery, lights are working. I have a car speaker hooked up as well as an antenna. No sound from the speaker except crackling when I first touch the wires to the speaker. What am I...

Picked up a Mopar crate that was advertised as new and it does appear unused. Seller states its a 380hp version. The yellow sticker at the rear of the block is unreadable. Serveral questions come to mind. I noticed that the crate motors come with an LA style timing cover. Does this mean that the...

Motor sat upside down for months on engine stand....oil drained. Took off the exhaust manifolds and there was a bunch of oil here on the pass side...no other ports on either side. Is this a prob or normal.

72 Swinger /6. Recently the alterator has been over charging. First it would just do it when the car was first started and then go to normal and now its been getting progressively worse. at idle its fine but as you give it gas it climbs. the alt. looks fairly new and I have done nothing to the...

Should my drivers door have this recess for the side veiw mirror or is this the result of the mirror being struck.

72 swinger sl6 w/ac. I replaced the heater core, hoses and thermostat (195). No heat, noticed that the hose going into the heater core is hot on both sides of the water valve but cold going back to the pump. Temp gauge is dead center. What gives, can't imagine(don't want to!Pain to change) that...

I just want to give a big thanks to great member, Daredevil, for helping me out with upper control arms for my 72 swinger. After pressing out my ball joints(don't ever do!) I placed a thread and had several offers from members who would be willing to sell me what I needed. Daredevil had arms...

Yup, I screwed up...pressed out my upper ball joints not realizing that they threaded in. Anyhow, anyone have any experience with the reproduction upper control arms on ebay....and no,I don't want to go tubular. I have a 72 swinger. Also, what years swap out, I know 73 and up are different.

Any thoughts on clifford man./2 bbl addapter and 350cfm. Thinking of running comp cam w/252 grind,not looking for a road rocket, just better performance. Getting the idea of staying away from rebuilt 2bbl for super six because of threads that having nothing good to say about rebuilt carbs. Also...

Two issues, first my 1972 225 keeps shearing off the bottem of dip sticks. I bought the universal dipstick at parts store, changed the oil and then set the dipstick so the 5 qts read at the full mark. I started the engine (also did this prior to the new dipstick so that the filter was full and...

I have a purple camshaft that is new but I didn't get a cam card with it. The machine shop came up with these numbers...valve lift 447 cam rise 295. The closest I find would be P3690766 268/268. Is this a good assumption and does anyone have any experience with this cam. I got a motor that was...

Picked up a /6 that was rebuilt about 7 yrs ago but never run, It has a purple shaft but the seller didn't remember the specks, only that it was one of the middle cams in the direct connection catalog...nothing to radical. I want to take this engine apart,check and clean everything and put it...

Need to know the length of the 225 dip stick. Got one because mine was missing and it dosn't read the oil level. Just changed the oil last week and added 2 more qts after putting in the dip stick and still no reading (she does burn some oil, but I dont think 2 qts in week). This dip stick that I...
