    Tire clearance

    15x7 is the wheel you want. A 255 is pretty big for an early A-body. You'll have to do some work to get it in the wheel well.

    1965 Valiant Wagon Tail lights

    Try Jeff at JC Auto Restoration, Inc. | Vintage MoPar Auto Parts & Restoration . He has a US 65 Valiant wagon and he has probably collected a few extras.

    66 Barracuda rear bumper pads or guards?

    The bumper guards are probably dealer installed over the counter parts. If you remove one, they will likely have a pentastar and part number on the back side. The car that bumper came off of had a CB if I remember correctly so that other bracket was for an antenna.

    Removing my 273 engine

    The 360 is a pretty easy swap. Just a few things to change or modify. The passenger(?) motor mount needs to be modified, use the pre-1969 water pump, a 360 passenger car oil pan, machine shop needs to balance your flywheel for the external balance 360. Depends on what year the 360 is but there...

    1962 VALIANT/6 to V8 SWAP

    You will have to notch or eliminate the heater box for distributor clearance. The battery tray is very close to the valve cover. Most everything else is 64-66 V8 specific parts.

    Early spindles

    61 won’t fit 62 but the 68 will fit the 62

    1965 Dodge Dart stock differential advice

    Hey, it's Mike with the silver 67 Belvedere in Conway. You could place a wanted ad for the special 10x1 3/4" backing plates and hardware. Maybe a wanted ad for axles too but I think Dr Diff has new ones. Get any 8 3/4 housing and have it narrowed. There are quite a few local guys that have parts...

    Tires for 64 Dart

    Check out Cooper Cobra's. I think they are a better tire than the BFG's. Lots of sizes to choose from.

    1966 Dodge Dart GT - Trying to Determine How Rare

    Sounds like a well optioned Dart. They're a blast to drive with the suspension package along with the 273-4. Pretty rare factory black paint (assuming). Does it have the fast ration manual steering box too?

    66 Dart, Sanderson Headers...what exhaust

    What Sanderson headers fit an early A-body? Are you prepared to cut apart your new headers?

    Early A front anti sway bar mount

    I’ve had Hellwig and Firm Feel on early A-bodies. Both kits worked great.

    1965 273 Head Gasket Question

    I’ve bought 273 head gaskets from AMS Obsolete in the past. I think they were running low but a 318 gasket would be the next best thing.

    Looks like virgin west coast sheet metal to me.

    66 Formula S Emblems

    Instead of pentastars they have the DP logo CD

    FYI for early A parts or whole cars....

    I will second everything that @j par has said. Been there many times, bought some parts that I NEEDED, but with some patience can find way better deals on. I've asked to buy some of the "good " cars but was told not for sale.

    Best riding shocks for an early A-Body

    I like stock torsion bars and bilstein shocks.

    65 ohhhh barracuda

    Did you pound out the roll pin from the small hole in the coupler? The roll pin prevents the steering shaft/coupler from pulling off of the steering box. Pull the roll pin and the coupler should slide off of the steering box splines.

    Let the tubbing begin.

    Great progress 64mopar. When (if) you move the springs in, what’s your plan for a fuel tank? The stock offset tank leaves no room for exhaust out the back.

    New eBay score 1966 barracuda

    Looks in nice shape and well cared for. It has what I call "old man upgrades" that need to go.

    Stopped by Layson’s today and grabbed 8 spark plug wire retainers and a new oil fill cap. In stock!

    Commando valve covers

    It’s funny that you posted this as I was looking for the 65-66 style for my valve covers. It looks like Layson’s has them and the correct oil fill cap. I live close so I can just pick them up.

    64 Barracuda gas tank options?

    When I had my mini-tubbed 66 Barracuda, it had a narrowed stock tank. It was very functional, but left little room for exhaust with the springs hung from the frame. If I had kept it, I was thinking of removing the spare tire well and using a 62-65 Fairlane tank and have the fill behind the...

    My first zero option car! I think

    I had a pretty bare bones 64 Valiant wagon. 170/3 speed on the column, no radio, no rear arm rests. The most surprising thing was the normally chrome strip that separates the door panels from the upper door was painted the blue interior color. The 170 was very underwhelming. It liked to be in...
