Thanks for the info Dan. I'm kind of leaning towards passing on it since it is going to be very hard to find parts for.

doc540, I am looking at buying a '61 Dart & I don't know much about cars in the early 60s. It sounds like an A body rear swap into these? What about options for adding disc brakes up front? Any online links for mods? Thanks for any info Glenn (phish1270)

Any info on where to find or part #s for the 2 1/4" flange &/or expansion pipe for those of us that are clueless? Thanks

Guys, I have been asked if I was interested in a 1965 Barracuda in the Charlotte, NC area. It is sinking (slowly) into the ground, can't get a great look underneath it but it looks more like a parts car to me. Both quarters have substantial rust & driver side quarter has been hit. The...

I use the Grant 4310 adapter kit to install an aftermarket steering wheel on my '65 Barracuda. See link: http://www.jegs.com/i/Grant/470/4310/10002/-1 I use a wheel like this on my Barracuda with a Plymouth horn button http://www.jegs.com/i/Grant/470/967/10002/-1 Hope this helps.

I was unable to fit them on my '65 Barracuda with manual steering. The passenger side would not fit at all. The driver side will fit if you don't use a steering shaft. No way they fit with power steering.

According to the "experts" on Desert Car Somethings, they are irreplaceable, impossible to find and worth over $2k. Of course then they deliberately broke one on camera for the drama of "reality" tv. Bozos! I have seen them for free before, as stated here. It is nice to have a spare but they...

I am swapping a 360 stroker into my 65 Barracuda. It had a 318 in it when I bought it. Tons of guys are going to tell you to use washers/spacers & cut/weld your mounts. Don't do it. It is a little pricey but buy these conversion mounts & grab the torque strap also while your at it...

Thanks for the info guys. Dan - my dash has the 158 or 194 style bulbs. I bought some of the Sylvania 2825s that I saw recommended in a previous thread. This is hopefully only temporary for now due to finances & the stage of my project. I am planning on adding new aftermarket quad gauges to be...

I have my cluster out of my '65 Barracuda to clean it & paint it. I am going to replace all the bulbs, clean the contacts, clean the lenses, etc. I noticed that it is just 3 bulbs that light up the whole gauge cluster & they are covered with blue covers. Are those covers used as a diffuser? Is...

I pretty much said the same thing, I think....:?: When I said it the numbers did not correspond but when he said it they make sense? I must have missed something. So much for trying to help.

I assumed it is for a '64 Valiant based on your signature, but this site does not list P4T or XXY, http://www.earlycuda.org/tech/tag.htm I would guess tan interior & tan exterior based on every interior code that ends with T is tan & XX1 paint code is tan. If it is similar to '65 than this site...

Clean everything as good as possible & when you see fluid leaking again see if it is running down from the pinion. I had a leak & thought it was the cover but it turned out to be the pinion seal. It is still a fairly easy fix, just unbolt the driveshaft, hold it up out of the way with a bungee...

That car is way over priced! These guys that are not Mopar guys all think that rear glass is worth $1000-1500. You can check ebay just about any day of the week & get one for $100. Those drama queens on Desert Car Kings tried to act like those windows are impossible to find & are worth $2500...

I think the car looks pretty cool with the old faded paint so I have focused on making it dependable, fun to drive & handle better than it was ever intended. Paint will be the last thing done. I have probably $2000 in the car & other than sitting higher in the back & the fresh rims, it still...

Do you have some time? Since that picture, I have replaced the rear leaf springs, new shocks on all four corners, added disc brakes to the front from a '73-'76, rebuilt the entire front end, new torsion bars, new tires on freshly powder-coated Ralley rims, swapped in an 8 1/4 with 3:55 gears & a...

That color looks familiar! Here is mine when I first got it. Have made some changes this winter, will try to get some fresh pics in the next few weeks.

You want the ones that are Part #s 53006618 & 53006619 with 2 1/8" outlets.

I bought a full set of brake lines & a junction block from them for my '65 Barracuda that I converted to dual res. master. Every line took some tweaking considering that it was supposedly "pre-bent". The junction block is a poor design & when I sent them an email expressing my opinion they chose...

It appears to be. I just rebuilt my whole front end on my '65 Barracuda & used the 11/16" tie rod setup. The car is still sitting on jack stands so I have not driven it yet but everything went together fine. There is more info in this thread...

I hope they work because they are on my car right now. I matched the lengths up against the stock '65 ones that I took off the car to get it close enough to drive to the alignment shop. There are still visible threads showing out each end of the sleeves so there should be enough adjustment to...

Your tie rod ends will still work but if you decide to replace them or are replacing them than order '74-'77 C-body tie rod ends & sleeves. ‘74-’77 C-body Tie Rod ends bolt into place of the stockers, and are thicker/more rigid to resist torsion/bending while turning. You will have to use the...

I have been fighting this problem for over a year now. It has got better but it still happens, especially during the warm southern summer when it gets in the upper 90s. I have a brand new Edelbrock 600, switched to a cast iron stock 4 barrel manifold, installed a 1/2" wood spacer (made the most...

You are first in line Hyper. Shoot me a PM if you get a chance so I remember.

I just picked up a set of the Dakota manifolds at Pull-A-Part. I have searched a few of these threads discussing these manifolds but I don't see that anyone has answered the question: Will these fit on an early A-body ('65 Barracuda) with power steering? If they will not is anyone interested in...

Those Darts are so cool. I was so close to buying one before I found my barracuda but the price was high & the car was beat on. I would recommend spending a little $$ & replacing that single reservoir, 4 oz pickle jar that they called a master cylinder. Probably the single best safety upgrade...

Here is mine the day I bought it, last April. I have put a bunch of $$$ into so far but none of it is noticeable except for the new leaf springs lifting the rear. It drives 10x better than it did when I brought her home. I have an 8 1/4 & a disc brake setup sitting in the garage waiting for new...
