Just about every year I take my 1966 Barracuda (1972 360 engine A-833 OD) to the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green, KY. It's 400+ miles round trip, so I'm always a bit worried as to something going wrong. Except for a couple of blowouts (thank God I had a spare both times), I've never had any car...

I've had my '66 Barracuda for a loooong time. About 10 years ago I put in a 72 360 engine with the orange box electronic ignition. I have an older style 2 blade (single coil) ballast resistor that has been on the firewall for I don't know how long. I heard long ago they were a weak link, so I...

I'm wrapping up (hopefully) minor details on my '66 Barracuda assembly project. It was virtually disassembled when I trailered it home, so some parts were missing & some were wrong. It is bone stock..... automatic transmission + 273 V-8 with 2 bbl carb. The kick down linkage piece that came with...

I just finished assembling a '66 Barracuda. I put in a new gas tank, fuel filter & sending unit. When I filled the tank, the handle clicked off and the gauge read Full. I drove it about 40 miles & it read Empty. I put in 3 gallons & it read Full again, only to drop to Empty in 40 or so miles. I...

When I bought my disassembled 1966 Barracuda project about a year ago I thought it might be a good idea to buy an assembly manual to help me figure how the pile of parts would all fit together. Surprisingly they all DID and I'm DONE! I made a pledge to God that I'd never do it again, so I won't...

The adventure of putting a '66 Barracuda continues. Again, in my defense, I didn't take this car apart. Please look at the attached picture (from my other '66) & you'll barely see the outer edge of a shiny "L" shaped piece that tucks between the headliner & the rear window seal. These pieces...

I'm closing in on the re-assembly of my '66 Barracuda and am missing a piece. In my defense, I didn't take it apart, so it may not have been there to begin with. The part is called a shifter slide. I looks like a rectangular piece of thin black plastic with a hole in the center (for the shifter)...

I'm going to install new carpet in my '66 Barracuda tomorrow (weather permitting). It is a V-8 A/T w console. I was looking at what I need to remove...seats...seat belts...etc., & noticed the gas pedal is attached to and pivots from the floor. I can't crawl under the car where it sits now, so I...

OK, this probably isn't the technical term, but for now It will have to do: I'm looking for the 2 little short chrome thingys that screw to the base of the A-pillars where the vinyl top meets the yellow paint (the part missing in this picture). Each one attaches with a single Phillips screw. My...

I'm putting together a non-running (at least since I got it) '66 Barracuda 273 2bbl. It came with power steering. I 'primed' the system by adding power steering fluid while slowly working the wheels back & forth (wheels off of the ground). I stopped adding fluid when it got to the bottom of the...

Sorry, Tim 66 Cuda!! I tried to send you some better pictures that you requested and wasn't able to. Here's a few that are a little clearer...…. The rings are really nice. One has a very small ding (see last picture). I'd imagine it can be tapped out. Mark

Well, I've procrastinated enough....I've been putting this Barracuda (273 auto) together for about a year now. It should be ready to drive soon ('soon' being a relative term :)) . I've noticed it is leaking power steering fluid, but I can't tell for sure where the source is. I'm going to clean...

I'm replacing the leaky brake cylinders on my '66 Barracuda (10" drum brakes). Before doing so I took a picture of the brake assembly so I'd know how to get it back together. Now I'm having a helluva time & am wondering if the picture I took was how someone before me did it wrong in terms of the...

I bought a 1966 Barracuda in pieces last December & am trying to put it together now. I have another '66 to help me figure out what goes where EXCEPT the one I'm putting together came with a factory vinyl top. I'm trying to figure out how the vinyl top attached across the top front (around the...

I'm sloooowly (and not so surely) getting my '66 Barracuda assembled. I bought it unassembled in December. It was originally a 273 2bbl auto & I intend to keep it that way. The engine seems to run fine (can't drive it yet). I have the factory exhaust manifolds, but nothing after them. I've...

OK, Maybe I'm an old tight curmudgeon, but I'm starting to explore any "Plan B"...or "C" or... to cure my problem. I'm putting a '66 Barracuda together. I bought it in a dis-assembled state. Things are going OK, but I'm needing to deal with the front bucket seats. They are in desperate need of...

I bought a '66 Barracuda a few months ago. It was all apart. I knew I'd be eventually needing to be chasing missing parts, but... The car turns out to be a factory A/C car & the heater that came with it is a Non-A/C heater. The hole for the heater motor in the firewall is considerably larger...

OK, I'm slowly making progress putting together a 1966 Barracuda that I bought in disassembled condition. There were a whole lot of '66 Barracuda parts that came with it & I was hoping I could figure out what went where. The car was originally factory air conditioned - the build sheet says so &...

When I bought a dis-assembled 1966 Barracuda a few months ago, the seller included a LOT of extra parts that I've been sorting out ever since. Except for the piece shown here, I've been able to identify everything. I KNOW it's not for an early Barracuda because it's too long, but the width is...

I discovered my '66 Barracuda project car doesn't have a gas tank. I now have one (+ strap & sending unit) on order. In the mean time, I'm trying to figure out how to remove the filler neck to replace the broken piece of hose that connects the neck with the vent tube & I can't figure out how to...

Recently a 1966 Barracuda followed me home & now I'm trying to put it back together. Oh, did I mention it was disassembled when I got it? It has a lot of potential, but I'm sure it's missing some parts. It's the 273 2bbl auto with power steering and A/C - but NONE of the A/C is present AT ALL -...

I've had my '66 for a loooong time & thought I knew everything about them. :) A couple of weeks ago I had another one follow me home. It's almost completely disassembled. As I've tried to sort out parts & see what's all there...and what may be missing, I had a friend (Thanks, Roger!) translate...

On an impulse I responded to an ad for a 1966 Barracuda that was almost completely disassembled and wound up bringing it home. I'm now trying to figure out what I have for sure before I decide what to do next. It is a vinyl top model that originally was yellow with black vinyl. I've seen one or...

:violent1:I have a '66 Barracuda. The driver's side door was getting a little tired (sagging) about 10 years ago. I installed new hinge pins & everything was fine. A couple of times over the past few years the striker thingy that the wheel on the door is supposed to go into has moved a little &...

I've got a '66 Barracuda & the door broke off of the driver's side air vent box (below the dash, just above the dimmer switch) a few years ago. I decided to fix it this winter only to discover that I've lost the door! I bought a vent box on E-bay only to discover that it is a different style (it...
