I looked up the part numbers and it shows to be correct unless Felpro put the wrong part in the box. It...

    what am I missing

    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...

    2 questions

    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...

    motor oil

    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

    65 cuda

    I am restoring a 65 cuda with a carter 1 bl card. I took it apart and it is full of gunk. Even though I am cleaning it would I be better to buy a rebuilt one. If I do I can only find a holly. Some say that would be better than the carter. Others say stay with the carter. This is my first total...

    65 cuda

    Hi being a new member,I'm still finding my way around. I have bought a 65 but don't have it home to work on. I did put a battery in it and get it to start. I had to pour gas in the carb and hold my foot on the pedal to keep it going. The exhaust had a strong odor and some smoke but had good oil...
