If you don't have a factory service manual check out this link. I bought the digital version from them. Invaluable for building you car.

I used the 72 brackets on my 73 and it pulls the bumper in about 1" to 1 1/2". In doing the swap you can get rid of the 3 rubber fillers that are usually weathered and look horrible. It really cleans up the back of the car. No other adjustments needed on my car but like hsb shadow stated, you...
I use the 440 source stealth heads and really like the look and function of these heads. For the cost I think they are great buy especially since they are fully built. My engine is a slightly better than stock engine build and they work well.
Yes, That is the spring.
There is a spring in the shaft that the T-handle slides over that could be not allowing the button to fully retract which could keep the mechanism from working properly.
I would just take the handle off and actuate the shifter to see if it works as it should.
I had a very similar problem when I played with my shifter before I knew what I was doing. The slap stick mechanism may be dirty and not allowing the movement of the shifter to seat in the correct slots for drive and 2. I took mine apart and cleaned and relubricated it. Once out the car, you can...
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.

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 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...
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"
