yes he did...it didn't help, it still wants to jump around

This is Terry's wife...Terry is in the garage teaching the car new words because he can't get the timing set on the barracuda. The timing mark jumps around. Any ideas I can suggest to him? Pretty much everything is new on the car...so it isn't as if the timing chain is stretched or anything...

What is the best distance the fan should be from the radiator for optimum cooling?

Sounds exactly like what I just went through except I can't find a temp sending unit that works. First one maxed out the temp guage. Second one barely moves the needle.

thanks!

ok, that makes sense I guess. I have the washers on mine, but I made sure they were big enough to not fall through the hole

I've been having the same problem with overheating. One of the problems was with the thermostat; it refused to open once installed in the car. At first, I thought it was a faulty one, so i bought a different one. This time I tested it in boiling water. Opened up when it was suppose to until I...

I read this at allpar http://www.allpar.com/slant6.html and was wondering why you don't want to put on spark plugs with crush washers?

I found some brackets at Texas Acres; $60 for the pair plus shipping. I am so relieved!! It looks promising again that I'm going to make the first show I'm registered for - the Spring Extravaganza at the Fairgrounds in Minneapolis. http://rockabilly.meetup.com/130/calendar/7709368/

I got an oil pan from Freeman's Auto, and found some new motor mounts at Paddock and overnight shipping. Now I got to find the right brackets. I had bought 2 /6's when I started this and one of them was suppose to be out of a dart (and running). When it got here, it was useless but I figured I...

I'm not worried about price...just time! Thanks for the info, I'll have to check them out

Hmmm, they look like the ones I have...what are the dimensions? do you have a picture of the brackets too? For some reason, my oil pan bottoms out on the k member and steering bar before the motor mounts sit on the frame. Either my metal brackets are wrong and I have a set of metal brackets that...

Anybody know where I can get motor mounts THAT FIT for my 1966 Barracuda????? I'm in the middle of swapping my 273 v-8 for a 225 slant six and the motor mounts I bought from a guy who assured me they would work don't. I'm running out of time...

Can an old style head off of a slant 6 from the 60's be used on a newer slant six from the 80's? I'm swapping my 273 small block with a guy who owns a junkyard for a slant six and trannie. One of the slant six engines I get to choose from is out of a 1961 Belvedere and the other one is out of a...

What good are models if you don't build them? My wife was teasing me about depreciating antiques because a few months ago, I had bought a working stock radio for my '66 cuda. When I went to install it, I discovered that the hole had been enlarged for the more modern radio that was in it...

She lucked out with the model...the seller had the opening bid set at $100. Two more models were listed after that one with starting bids at $5 and $10. She checked the completed listings, saw that none of them go for less than $100, so she threw a bid on that one. Everybody else went for the...

My wife got this for me for Christmas off eBay, never been built before, and I just finished putting it together. The wife says nobody can depreciate an antique faster than me...anyway just wanted to show off my new toy (i even got it to run!!)
