    Just installed Sanderson DD8 block huggers on a 318 in my black 66. See my thread DD8 install.

    shorty header

    See my thread - DD8 install. The 92 Dakota manifolds were a no-go in my 66 Barracuda, so I got Sanderson to take the DD7 driver side back and replace it with a DD8. The thread will tell the rest. The 92 manifolds are for sale - wire brushed and painted - $175.00 plus the ride - includes new bolts.

    Sanderson DD8 / Early A Shorty Headers

    As soon as I figure out how to post pics, I have pics of them installed on a 318 in my black 66 Barracuda, manual steering. They were not a plug and play fit. Must remove steering column, replace factory coupling with a round universal one, shim drivers side mount 1/4" and make some strategic...

    Formula S Long Lug Nuts

    Scored another one.. 1966 Barracuda

    X2 on the "Butt Ugly Green". My 76,000 mile only driven 4 years in the PA salt 66 Barracuda is the same faded almost black in the shadows green. I intend to keep this car all original but am really wrestling with going with a different 66 color or 69 medium limelight green.

    Exhaust Nightmare!

    I bought the car as a roller at Carlisle 12 years ago. I respect the effort the previous owner put into the body/chassis. As I mentioned, put 1/4" shims under mounts per other threads. I had decided to forgo headers and tried magnum manifolds - no go. If the DD8 is a dead end then it will be...

    Exhaust Nightmare!

    Was on the phone today with Francisco from Sanderson. He shipped my DD8 driver side header on Monday and tracked it for me. Scheduled to arrive Tuesday the 27th. Will take pics and post when it is installed. The passenger side has not changed from the DD7 design.

    Exhaust Nightmare!

    I will post pics as soon as I get them on - if they fit as promised. I used the 273 mounts from my green 66 car with a modification to the passenger side due to different mounting ear configuration on the 318 block. I will take pics tomorrow of the pass. Side magnum manifold before I take it off...

    Exhaust Nightmare!

    The Sanderson DD7 set cost me $367.00 through Summit - picked them up at the Talmage Ohio store. They are shipping the DD8 driver side directly to me. We shimmed both mounts 1/4" when trying the DD7 headers. So pulling that 1/4" out of the passenger side will tilt the engine enough for the...

    Exhaust Nightmare!

    Why did I have to fall in love with an Early A? Did not want to hack up a rotisorie restored car to install fenderwell headers, so I talked to the good people at Sanderson who said some had made DD7 blockhuggers work. Bought a set - wont clear steering shaft. Following other comments on this...

    Exhaust manifolds??

    Just put a set of 92 Dakota 5.2 manifolds on a 318 with 360 heads in my Black 66 Cuda Monday night. Close on the passenger side - can get my little finger in between and clears manual steering on drivers side. Tried Sanderson DD7 Blockhuggers, didn't clear steering. Another thread says Sanderson...

    shorty header

    Sanderson told me the DD7 would work! Bought them through Summit, will not clear steering shaft. Sold them to a friend for his pickup and bought a set of 92 Dakota manifolds. To Hell with headers - I'm not trying to shave time off my ET. I'm a 60 year old guy who never had a hot rod and just...

    66 Barracuda Formula S - Performance indicator instead of Tach?

    I have a 66 273 2bbl 4spd car with a tach and disc brakes. It was only driven 4 years - still has PA plate with 1970 registration sticker on it. PA salt ate up the entire drivers side - doesn't look like a 76,000 original miles car. It will some day!

    Scored another one.. 1966 Barracuda

    How much for the grilles? Some close up pics please. I have a few, they are not the greatest - lots of barnacles to grind off. I am in need of a good front bumper, it seems the front bumpers always have dents or got bent somehow! Same butt ugly as my green fish! Better pics of wheel lip...

    1966 Barracuda Rear Window Defroster?

    I was looking for a box of carb to trans linkage I bought in the back of the green car and noticed a piece of black tape curling up. I peeled it off to find the slot you all are talking about. I was wondering why it was there myself!

    Motor Mount Help

    Just went down this road! Took a 318 out of a 75 Dodge shorty van and worked it over. Tried the mounts with the engine- not even close! A friend told me 273 mounts would work just fine, so I borrowed my 273 mounts from my other 66 Barracuda. Still no go! Had to weld an extra triangle of metal to...

    Would you daily drive an early A?

    Score a pair of bucket seats out of a Chrysler Sebring convertible - they have the shoulder harness built into the seats and most have adjustable headrests. Putting a set with cloth inserts in my black 66 Barracuda and the driver seat is power!

    my 66 barracuda

    I'm green with envy!!!! Hope my green Barracuda looks that good when its done. It will be totally stock as from the factory - 273 2bbl - 4 speed GG-1 green w/black interior. My black one will be a resto-mod - bored and cammed 318 w/360 heads and headers - 904 trans and red and black interior...

    Not Another 1966 Valiant Signet

    I have the two fish and a Signet! I tried to buy a vert, but inquired too late. I'm considering selling a fish to look for a 4 door 200, vert or wagon. Would like to have all 5 if I live long enough!!!!! I guess I GOT THE FEVER!!!!!

    Early Barracuda Car-**** Picture thread.

    Just scored a set of "still in the boxes - never seen tires" cragers!! 2 14 x 6 and 2 14 x 7. Guess what they are going on - my black 66 Cuda. What size tires are you running? Will be putting 7" on rear - 6" on front. Been looking at Coker redlines since my car will have a red and black interior...
