    what in the sam hill do these do? Power stacks?

    As a young, impressionable (but I repeat myself) teen, I'd go through the JC Whitney catalog to plan how to make my car if/when I got one - the coolest/fastest thing around. This would have made my list.

    What should I do?

    I'm not saying this is 'right', but here's what I'd do. Keep in mind that a used part can be perceived differently as to condition. Pictures sure help, but even then a buyer may be disappointed with the condition when it arrives. I know neither of you, so you could be just a complainer or he...

    New wheels , Wrong lugs

    I bought a used set of 4 small bolt pattern (4") 14" Cragars for my '66 Barracuda about 15 years ago, so if these wheels have changed since then, my information won't do you any good, I needed 10 lh & 10 rh 7/16 lugs/washers. The Cragar part # is 09004-4 for LH thread. With that info, the RH...

    Mystery exterior trim piece

    I'm 99+% finished assembling my '66 Barracuda project (it was apart when I bought it). I found one of these small emblems in the pile of parts & installed it in the 2 holes where it fits on the left front fender. Is there supposed to be one on the right side, too? If so, in the same location...

    Factory style hose clamps

    I agree 100% with your opinion on worm clamps. I've spent 1/2 of my life trying to sneak by with cheaper stuff - and still do on some things (I'm hard-headed), but I quit buying cheap Chinese worm clamps YEARS ago. When tightened, the threads strip & coolant leaks out on the top of your engine -...

    Is anyone else "touchy" about their Mopar? (long rant...)

    Even some MOPAR guys are A-Holes (although not many) - or maybe he was, like you... having a bad day. The "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything" policy should have been followed. If it had, the incident would have never taken place. He should have kept his mouth shut - and you...

    Poll - How far away from home do you drive your classic?

    4 hours....and make sure you have basic tools, a spare, lug nuts...jack. I've been spoiled enough with new cars, their reliability, quiet ride, economy....After 4 hours, I've had enough fun for one day. It IS nice to get so many "Thumbs Up!" along the way.

    5 or 6 speed ?

    I've had an a 833 4-speed with a 3.23 8 3/4" Sure Grip in my '66 Barracuda 360 for several years. I was thinking on taking it on some longer trips & am considering a 5 or 6 speed transmission that I believe would help cut down considerably on top end RPM's. My car was originally a slant 6, 3 on...

    3.91 good or bad

    I had a 3.91 in my 1966 340 Barracuda with a 4spd for several years. In town it was OK, but I drove it to The Nationals (130 miles every August) and I was winding waaaay too tight keeping up with 70 mph expressway traffic. I'm surprised I had no overheating problem. The noise made conversations...

    LED's?

    Yeah, I went through this too with my '66 Barracuda. When they sell you the $%^& LED bulbs for $10 each, they DON'T tell you that they won't work as a turn signal unless you splice a gizmo for each LED bulb in your wiring. The gizmos cost another $10 or so each. I was hoping to have brake...

    Chrysler Classic at National Trails

    Yeah, I've gone to Columbus a few times & have gotten some of my best deals on parts there, & you're right - you have some elbow room. I've got a friend who will be running his '68 Barracuda there this year. It is named "Team Generic". It was in the high 9's last year. He may be able to squeeze...
