Let me explain that question. I have a barracuda ive been trying to sell but every time i post it some where something goes wrong with it. The first time i tried selling it with the engine & trans not in. I took the engine apart to put all new gaskets on it & i couldnt find all the bolts head, intake, valve covers none of them. So bought all new. Put the engine trans in & then posted it again. Everyone wanted to hear it run ok fine. The used but not much time on them MSD box & dist. wouldnt work. So i bought all new electronic dist, coil & ecu box. I got it running. I posted it. In the mean time i noticed a water leak in the rear where the intake meets the head. No water was getting in the oil. That water leak spoiled a guy from buying it he changed his mind. So i buy & put on a new intake gasket kit. Filled it with water & got it running. Good no water leak outside or in. The oil is good. I posted it again. I was just out & checked the dip stick & all is good. I noticed the water level was low so i topped it off. I got it running & adjusted the idle mixture screws & idle. I shut it off & then a few minutes later it fired right back up. All is good yea right About 10 minutes goes by & i tried to start it again. It will not start no matter what i do. I checked its getting spark. Just for the heck of it i pull the dip stick. It looks like milk. So now i have to unpost it. I swear it doesnt want to be sold. Sorry so long.
 
some times they don't wait to leave home . and since your going through the motor are you going to keep it ?

First i have to find what is wrong. Then if its not a big money problem ill fix it. If its a cracked head or block im done. Ill lower the price & wash my hands of it. Ill most likely take a big loss. I dont have that kind of money to put in it
 

I think my barracuda is just fu**ing with me now. Got it running. Now there is a valve train noise. Not to mention when i went to turn it off by the key it kept running. So had to take the positive battery cable off. Now when i try to put the positive cable back on it tries to turn over. Never has so many issues with a car like this.
