Thanks.

That must be why I can find the part for a '71 but not '70. I may just leave it. My intention is to just get it driveable. It has been sitting for about 6 or 7 years in storage. Hopefully I can get to it this summer. All I've been doing is buying parts and turning the engine over once in a while.

No? The piece behind the bucket.

Not the greatest picture. It's the piece that the bucket mounts on.

Looking for the above part. Mine is rusted through.

This is the way it was given to me.

Retirement probably, LOL! The car is in storage about 300 miles away. Just need to win the lottery so I can afford health insurance and I'll be all set.

So the 383 engine for my 70' Barracuda is sitting on an engine stand and has been there for at least 3 years. I've sprayed Kroil into the spark plug holes and turn it over by hand once or twice a year. Should I drain the radiator and the block? It's in NY, so it gets pretty cold in the winter...

My mistake. It was the site below. https://www.e-bodies.org/resources/cuda-challenger-production-totals-color-breakdown/1970-plymouth-barracuda-cuda-percentage-made/

My math could be incorrect, but using your example, wouldn't that be 82 hardtops and 6 convertibles? The chart I found on this site states 4% were painted EK2, so I'll take that to mean 327 hardtops and 24 convertibles.

Anyone know how to find out how many 1970 Gran Coupes were painted EK2 Vitamin C? I found that 1,985 cars used the color but can't find the breakdown between base model, Gran Coupes, and 'Cudas.

The numbers 9C278361 are stamped on the lower right side of the block, just above the oil pan. I have no idea where the motor came from or what happened to the original.

From what I understand, the 330HP "L" motor was blue and the 335HP "N" motor was orange. The serial number is N but the motor is stamped 383 by the distributor.

Here's some engine pics. My uncle rebuilt this one. It's a standard 383 so it should have been painted blue, but I'm not complaining. Period correct anyway. Car was built in October 1969.
