    WTB Mopar A/B/C/E Body Rear Pair of Car Moving Body Wheels

    Looking for a pair of used but usable rear body moving wheels from someone cleaning out their garage who doesn't need these anymore. These are the rear only 8" wheels and their brackets that bolt to the leaf spring front hanger location. Must be these wheels. I'm doing a 1964 B Body now and...

    Center Console Shifter Illumination?

    Here's a photo from the 1970 FSM showing the wire routing to the console on a Barracuda. And here's a link to what I've been able to find [so far] as the best replacement blue 'dome' bulb cover for inside of your console...

    Carb advice

    Hi Dave, welcome! As an FYI since you want to go to a Holley carb......Per Galen Govier's White Book of Chrysler's Part & Casting numbers, from the factory a 1970 Challenger with a 383 engine and manual transmission would have a Holley type 4160 4 BBL carburetor. The carb number was 4367 and...

    Center Console Shifter Illumination?

    Yes, your center console shifter does have a light that comes on when you turn on your Park Lights and/or Headlights. If my memory is correct, on the 70 Cuda model there's an orange wire that supplies power to the shifter bulb and it should run on top of your passenger side floor pan under the...

    Looking for a pair of used body moving wheels from someone cleaning out their shop who is not going to do another full blown restoration. These are the rear only 8" wheels and their brackets that bolt to the leaf spring front hanger location. Must be these wheels that fit both 'B' & 'E' bodies...

    Shaker hood

    Congrat's on having an early 'defective' hood 406. Lol now you at least know how to correctly identify those hoods as being either an early or later hood and you know how to advertise your's for sale. :-) "Does that mean it's worth more or less to someone?" In my experience the answer to...

    Shaker hood

    I got my education on Shaker Hoods by reading the June, 2016 issue of MOPAR Collector’s Guide Magazine. In this article they talk about the original hoods failing crash tests because they didn’t crumple during front collision impacts. Instead, they would break away at the hood hinge bolts and...

    Shaker hood

    I'm not in the market for your hood but I'm curious.....Do you have the early model Shaker hood or the later model 70 hood? 1970 Cuda and Challenger hoods built early in the model year lacked the proper stiffeners on the underside of the hood to prevent the hood from easily buckling in a head...

    FOR SALE Carburator Linkage Stud

    I have a Carburetor Linkage Stud for sale that I believe is used on 1970 340 Six Pack applications with both manual and automatic transmissions. It might also be correct for some 4-barrel applications but please do your own research. I believe this is an original part vs. a reproduction since...

    rotors

    Thanks for the additional info. Paharamia, I appreciate it. I'm not sure but I think that the 1970 Shop Manual lists the minimal safe rotor thickness. I'll take a look in my manual and let you know....

    rotors

    Just saw your post that the original O.D. was 10.75. That's close enough to Centric's 10.98 not to cause any problems. Thanks again!

    rotors

    Just the sort of detailed info. I was hoping to receive, Paharamia, thank you very much and I use Rock Auto quite a bit for all of my auto parts needs. Several follow-up questions.... - Have you installed the Centric rotors yet? - Are you still running the factory Kelsey Hayes disc...

    rotors

    Saw this thread this morning and have a 'sanity check' type related question that someone might be able to answer who has already 'been there'.... I have what I believe are the factory original 2 piece rotors on my November of 1969 built 440/6 Cuda. I want to pull these rare original rotors...

    Looking for a right side (passenger side) Kelsey Hayes caliper

    Have you had any luck yet finding P/N KH80012? If you take a look at Rock Auto's website for 1970 Barracuda calipers one of the options is semi loaded, remanufactured calipers from Centric. Their part numbers are CENTRIC 14163015 and 14163016. The photo that Centric provides for these...
