Now that is funny.
 
WONDER WHAT 64 PAINT IS WORTH? WILL HAVE A BUNCH OF IT EITHER IN POWDER OR RIBBONS!
 
Finally some nice weather. At least temp wise all week. We are expecting the rain later today and tomorrow. Stuffs still pretty wet from brief but heavy rain last evening. Sitting on front porch (covered) enjoying a second cup of coffee. Might get my act together and do some yard work. Haven’t done anything besides fix the mower since before Carlisle

Probably need to do groundhog eviction soon. Saw 2 of them run under my shed yesterday. Walked around back and this Michelob bottle was laying there. I assume they are digging and kicked it out. Had to be under there since before I moved here in ‘93.

Lucky, I’ve not been home from Carlisle long enough to even start my mower

I would have never known mine had a problem if the wife hadn’t missed a small area behind the house. She gets ambitious and does it a few times each year. The nice weather days we were at the show she did it. I only ran it a few minutes to cut that small area and heard spindle bearing screaming. Otherwise would have found it when the grass was all overgrown and probably had to push mow while I waited for parts. Would not have been a good day. Glad it happened the way it did.
 
I had a spark plug bracket that sat off the front of the left exhaust manifold. I couldn't figure out what it was suppose to do. It just wasn't right. The only reasonable answer I got at Carlisle was that it was upside down. Looked at the other 34 Barracuda's parked there in my class and none even had one.
Yesterday while it rained, I did some digging and finally found Van's Auto, who sold the brackets. They also listed a description telling you where the bracket went and what car it went on. This bracket was for a B-body, no wonder it was out of place. Ordered the right one this morning, and all is well.
Not the first time I've found stray parts on this car. I'm sure you all have experienced that to.

Do you have magazine articles and ads from when your car was new?
Sometimes good reference photos in them. (sometimes not, if its a pre-production press car)
Paul C had a bunch of them for 67 383 cars listed in this post and the following.

I think you met my friend John sitting with me. That's Rocky JS in this thread.

Yes. I remember he was there in the morning.
Just doing a quick look on the 'net, here's one reproduced by HotRod.

Might be pre-production. The linked article isn't clear about dates or which parts are quoted from the original print article. The comment about the K-H rims is just wrong. The test car might have had Mag-stars (never used in production) or wheel covers, but not the model year 1969 rims that were recalled.

Looking at the old pic of the spark plug change. That wasn't a fresh engine. Battery caps are green and very dirty. Did note the master cylinder. :)

Funny I was looking at the spark plug wire brackets!
Also the firewall wire bundle routing for my own car. Need to confirm if it was the same for small blocks.
