Replace the freeze plugs while you have it out. Also a good time to flush the motors cooling system. Plus the thoughts listed before

Thanks for sharing

thanks I'll check. The Chiltons Book said the engine serial number is 14 didgets and will answer most guestions. the numbers I see are A 225 2 08 2 Thats sure not 14 numbers, so am I not loking at the proper location? The book says it is located on the joint face of the engine block next to...

I need to find if the /6 in my 65 barracuda is original. I bought a cylinder head gasket set and everthing was ok. I ordered a valve cover gasket from the same place and is is totally wrong. I looked up the part numbers and it shows to be correct unless Felpro put the wrong part in the box. It...

Thanks Guys

the choke is wide open. its 70 degrees. but thanks.

The 65 225/6 i'm restoring has another problem. The last few days the temp in central N.C. has been in the low 70's so I have been working on the body of the barracuda. I thought I had solved this problem but it has come back. When I start the car I have to play with the gas pedal till it warms...

Thanks guys for your help

Maybe the car came out with a 2 barrel but has a newer carb. I'm not sure, all I know is the choke sits crossway in the motor and for it to hook up to this carb it would have to run parallel with the motor. Yes it is an automatic. thanks

My /6 had a 1 barrel and was replaced with a 2 before I bought it. The manifold wasn't changed so the choke will not hook up. Where can I buy one or do I need to purchase a new manifold? Second There are 2 springs that hook up on the side of the carb. It has an automatic and I can't remember...

Thanks for the input.I'll check the smoke color today. Frank, I will give you a call after the first of the year. Happy New Year to all.

I'm not far enough along to drive any further than down the drive and back. Tha smoke is blue or black, not sure. Thanks for the advice.

not a breathing problem. I had checked that. It will be awhile before I'm ready to drive so maybe someone might help me out soon. Thanks Mike for the suggestion.

the 65 barracuda is sitting outside running and every few minutes it smokes out the exhaust for a few seconds and then runs for a few minutes smoke free. then puff theres the smoke again. i think i have a blown head gasket so i thought i would replace the oil seals when i replaced the gasket...

mine is just a daily drive /6 that hasn't been built and will more than likely never be raced. I do thank you for all of the responses and ideas.

Thanks for your help

What do you guys recommend for weight and brand of motor oil for my 65 barracuda. The book says 10w30 or 10w40. Central N.Carolina has some cold winter weather but not normally sustained cold below the 20 degree mark. I thought I would change it this weekend. thanks

I had discussed it with my son before I made the post, but was just curious what everyone else may have done. It seems we are of one accord on this one. He was excited till he started the car and now it will not idle on its on. Getting gas and fire so I think the vacumn hose to the pvc has a...

Keep it coming guys. Like RedFish said, we should all learn something.

Any of you who have tried to help me over the last fews days won't believe this. After taking the carb off this morning I found my 16 year old, who we are restoring this car for and was helping me, I found when he put the carb on the base plate he placed another gasket on top of it blocking the...

Thanks Frank, I rebuilt the carb and it was full of gunk. I never could get it to run very well with it so I bought a used one and the car runs good. It will start and idle where before you had to feather the gas to keep it going. It also takes the gas well so we are going in the right...

thanks for all of the input. For more info the oil looks new as well as the filter. The plugs are not covered in oil. When I first started the car I had a problem getting it to run so I pulled the plugs to replace them and the 5 and 6 cyl plugs looked wet with water so I thought the head gasket...

Thanks I just started it again and let it run for about 20 min. and the oil pressure was actually higher. It ran around 30lbs at idle and was close to 60lbs when I first started it. When I first got the car it smoked even at idle but doesn't do that anymore. Maybe by the time the body and...

thanks Long Gone. You guys seem to always have the answers and I truly thank you for your help. I thought that just maybe it would be simple. My car is going to be awhile before it will be on the road so I just keep finding more things to do. thanks again Tommy

Ok guys this is my first complete restoration. I have the /6 running. I have replaced the plugs, wires, dist cap and rotor button. I put a used carb on the car and it will sit and idle with a small occasional miss and if you give it the gas a little smoke. none at idle. The car hasn't run in...

I rebuilt the old carb but it is just worn out. I found one for sell that came off a 318 and was told it would work but I son't know. Don't want to buy another pc to put in the garage for anybody to fuss about.

will a carter carb off a v-8 work ok on a /6? I'm having problems with the one I have. thanks

I found out today the carb was not the original which was why I couldn;t get the NAPA kit. Anyway thanks to all who gave me help. Talk to you guys soon. Tadams

thanks for your advice. I think I found a source today and will check AM.

a lot of people tell me to use a 2 barrell. what would I have to change or does it fit as is.where would I purchase one if I was to go that way. I guess with fuel prices I was just being cheep with what I had.
