    Where do I find nos shoes. My formula s had a grove in the center of the shoes. I showed those to a Chrysler engineer. He said they were designed to keep cooler. Haven't seen this design in years

    What's a fair price for....

    Just like bleeding your brakes. Drain the fluid from the master cylinder and fill with fresh. Open a valve and pump till fresh fluid comes though. Repeat with the other wheels till finished. That's how I did my 65. A friend opened the brake line at the master cylinder and all of the valves. He...

    10 in brakes

    I'm looking in the classic industries catalog for spring sets for standard brakes. This is for my 65 Barracuda Formula S with 10 in brakes. It only shows 9 in brake kits are available. It shows kits available for 69 through 74. Would this work on my 65. I know brake drums will interchange. Thanks

    where can I get cylinder pushrods ?

    NAPA has had quite a few parts for my 65 barracuda. I've also used Classic Industries and Rock Auto for parts. I recently went into Oreille's Auto Parts to pick up some parts for my Dodge Ram and met a young man who has just finished high school. He drives a Little Red Wagon pickup. He is very...

    Quick question on parking brake setup

    Not saying, but normally when I have an issue like that on mine, it usually comes out to be mechanics error. That would be my error. But that is just me

    10'' rear brake drums

I thought I saw these really cheap in the new Classic Industry dream book After putting on my glasses I see they are available wB-bodies and have a wider width. A local parts store told me I could use the ones from a duster, the difference...

    front parking brake cable

    I need to replace the front parking brake cable on my 65 barracuda. Looking at different auto parts suppliers and can only find the rear cables. Mine is rusty. I have sprayed nut buster type products on the adjustment area, but can't break it loose where the equalizer is located. If I could...

    E brake cable

    Thanks everyone. I've been using Pb blaster, spraying it well several days in a row. Perhaps I could disconnect the part and soak it. I don't really have access to apply heat to it. My job is taking a toll at the present time wise. Thanks so much for the advise.
