Hello fellow E-body friends. I am wondering if anyone knows how to find how many 1973 Barracuda's were painted with HB1 paint code? My car is an HB1 paint code and I have never seen one in this color online or in person. Just curious more than anything. Thank you.

The post from Challenger RTA about Glass adjustment is what you should follow when installing the door glass. Its from the factory service manual (FSM) and is what I used to get my windows in line. If you don't have a FSM you should get one. They are full of information that you will need to put...

I bought a kit from Detroit Muscle Technologies. Check out their website. Lots of stuff that you may need. Mopar E Body 70-74 Door Window Guide Bracket Gasket Set

I am in the same boat, not sure about my front seat padding. I assume that the padding will need to be replaced but not sure if anyone makes the padding for my 73 Barracuda. I'm interested in what others have to say.

My center console had a slight bow there also. I removed the console and then used a heat gun to make the plastic pliable and pushed back into position. No more bow. I agree with ItsJustMe that you have what looks like a crack, so you need to fix two things there. JB weld makes a really...

I use a ready to run distributor from Summit. That way I don't have to worry about the ECU or ballast resistor etc. It was just my preference.

I am using my original evaporator core with new components under the hood with no problems. My heater box/evaporator sat in my attic for 27 years and I had no problems. To you question about testing it, I used an vacuum pump. I connected a line from my vacuum pump with a vacuum gauge and two...

Here in MA, and probably other states as well, I changed my plate to a "year of manufacture" plate. There is a form that needs to be filled out by you and another from your insurance agent. I bought a plate from 1973 on E-bay and brought the plate and all of the paperwork to the RMV. No change...

Thank you for your service! Congratulations on the milestone! May you drive her another 100,000.

After changing gaskets 3X and machining my deep aluminum pans gasket flange with a CNC, I found two leaks. One was at the pivot shaft, which took a month to show up and the kick down band adjustment adjuster and locking nut.

This is what I used for my battery. I bought a battery from Walmart and used this to make my battery look like an original and less money than the cap. Click on the link. not sure why it says "pardon our interruption" Pardon Our Interruption...

I used the butyl tape for my back window and windshield. I took Challenger RTA's advice and used the urethane to seal the backside of the butyl tape, just for good measure. I have had no leaks on either window and I had never installed a back window or windshield before. I found that unless...

Hello Kansan, Are you talking about the diverter/mixing valve mounted on the passenger side inner fender? There are two different types. One is all metal and the other is bakelite (spelling?) I have the bakelite type. My control cable comes out of the firewall below the brake booster and up...

Hello GiantRobo, quick question. Do you remember what you torqued the transmission pan bolts to? What I have seen online is 105 in/lbs.

Sorry, you are correct, I was going from memory on the placement of mine. My fuel separator is in the same spot as yours.
