I agree with the idea of fuel injection. The easy starting and ease of operation I guess is What I am looking at. But in the same instance my 273 commando will be left stock with the carburetor. I am spoiled driving newer cars though

X 2. My Rubber lines were horrible. Very inexpensive repair. While you have those off, take the time and blow out the fuel line to insure there is no trash left. Will make a huge difference. While I was doing this, I noticed the tank itself had a small leak so I replaced this also. Good luck

We have all learned that lesson the hard way.

The ethanol gas does a deal on carburetor's as well. Obviously you need a tank, but ethanol will evaporate leaving a mud like substance in the carb that will stop everything up

Ethanol free is becoming increasingly available in the North Carolina area I am in. Not sure if it is the farming season or what. It seems that I am seeing signs at a lot of stations

not yet. Will try that Monday, Thanks for the idea though

I disconnect the line from the tank and used air to blow back from the front. Before I replaced the tank and hoses I would blow back and you could here the fuel gurgle in the tank. Not any more. You can tell its stopped up somewhere.

I have replaced those with new, but thanks for the idea. Just looking in the wish book, What size lines would be in a 65 Barracuda Formula S. 5/16 or 3/8? Classic Industries have them for 58.99. I should have had these ordered with last weeks order so shipping would have been free. I believe...

Looks as though they would be more simple to replace than the brake lines were

Tank and filters are new. Fuel pump and rubber lines are new as well. Carb is rebuilt and running non ethanol gas. I'll disconnect it all Monday and blow out each piece and see if I can get it to flow. If not, I'll buy a new one. There not very expensive.

Always something isn't it. I need to get these problems done so I can Apply paint to the exterior.

Is there a way to clean, or should I replace. 1965 Barracuda Formula S. Replaced the fuel tank, rubber hoses and fuel pump. I'm not getting any fuel to the carb. Disconnected the fuel line and tried to blow compressed air back toward the tank, but had no success, it seems to be stopped up...

I used a container. This is a small town in North Carolina with several small farms. IO guess they sell this for the tractors. Sure makes my lawn mower run better.

I found a local store that's carries regular leaded gas in all 3 grades. Which should I choose for a 65 Barracuda Formulas S with the commando engine. I have 4 gals regular to use in the lawn mower and thought I would use that for now while the car is still in the garage. Any ideas. It does...

I have the same issue. The carb was rebuilt by a professional, not me. The carb before the rebuild looked as though it had red mud in the dry carb. The guys in Texas who rebuilt may carb told me this was caused by ethanol used in gas today. My car is in the garage and never runs over 30 minutes...

Thanks for the advice. I have no plans to do more than a daily drive or local show.

I am going to put an electric fuel pump on my 65 Barracuda Furmula S. The car has a stock 273 with a 4 barrell. When I was looking at them I see there there are more than 1 options. 1 options is 2.5to 4.5 pounds and the other is 5 to 9 pounds pressure. Which one should I go with? Thanks

Hi Lou, If mine would do that I would be OK. The issue is I can crank for 2 minutes or more and it still doesn't want to start. I have cleaned the tank, the lines and replaced the fuel pump and It is the same. Thanks for the update. Have a great day.

Thanks, I think you guys have convinced me to go with an electric fuel pump. I need to finish the brake project before I start something else. One question, I looked on line to check on the fuel pumps and noticed there are different fuel presures availiable. Which one would I need? Thanks so...

Thanks Mike. I read your post on the points conversion and ordered mine from Summit last night. The dual point in mine work fine, but after reading your post I felp like it would be an advantage. Thanks. I need to finish repalcing the wheel cylinders on mine today, so I was going to back out of...

Thanks guys, I had thought about the electric fuel pump but didn't think it was an issue. The car seems to take quite a while to start. I hate to sit and grind on it for a few moments to get it started. Once it has started it starts real easy.

I have just gone out to start my 1965 Barracuda. I had it running last week and it was fine. Today it didn't want to start so I opened the hood and notice the fuel filter has very little fuel in it. I pour a little fuel in the carb, the car starts and the filter starts to fill with fuel. My carb...

I had my original carb built by Carbs and More in Laporte Tx. It came back in a week and looks brand new. He puts the carb on a motor and adjust before it is sent back to you. Cost around 225 but did a great job.

Kyle, I just had a carb rebuilt by Carbs and More in Laporte Tx. It cost around 225 and looks like a new carb, not just a rebuild. It arrives adjusted and ready to bolt on and go. You may try that instead of a new one, especially if it is numbers matching.

I found the number after some cleaning. I may be better having this one rebuilt. I talked with a man in La Porte, Texas. It was Carbs and more. Any other suggestions of who does a good job.

I just started to restore my 65 Barracuda Formula S. I pulled the carb and can't see any numbers for a rebuild kit. I took the top of the carb off as the Walker Rep said if I didn't see any outside to look there. The insides are dry and have alot of trash. Where should I find the numbers and I...

After I drop and clean the fuel tank on a 65 Barracuda, where could I purchase the gaskets needed. Thanks

, can you buy the sock by itself. thanks

I know this has been ask before. My 65 Barracuda has been sitting for awhile. I need to clean the gas tank or replace it. I blew it out with compressed air and the car starts and runs but if you let it sit a few weeks you need to blow the trash out of the way. It doesn't leak and looks to be in...

Thanks for info. Mine has an automatic trans and there is another spring that runs toward the rear of the motor. Also the choke I have Is suppose to fit into the exhaust manifold. If I bolt it that way there is no way it can hook to the carb.
