    Seat Belt Retractor

    Did a 70 Barracuda have seat belt retractors? I had a 70 Barracuda and I don't remember it having retractors. The photo is the passenger side. The seat doesn't slide back and forth properly because of the retractors. The side cover for the seat does not fit properly because it hits the...

    Exhaust Manifold Flow

    I want to convert from headers, back to stock exhaust manifolds because I don't like the noise, heat, and scraping on the ground when I enter a driveway. I've been looking for manifolds for a 340. They are impossible to find or they are very expensive. Will manifolds from a 360 flow as well or...

    Rear Window Installation

    Does anyone have experience using urethane adhesive to install a rear window? I got a couple of quotes for over $200, just to glue the window in. The glass is already out of the car. I checked the internet, all I could find was the installation with butyl tape. May be I need to widen the search...

    Stripped Sheet Metal Holes

    What is everyone doing with stripped sheet metal holes? The easiest thing is to get a larger screw. But what do you do with the holes for the sil plates or other areas that are visible? I tried JB weld Steelstik, that didn't work. Should I use the liquid epoxy or thread lock? Thanks

    Rust Repair

    I have a 70 Barracuda that came from the east coast. For the most part the body does not have a lot of rust. I don't know why but they painted over the rust instead of prepping and then painting the car. Can the rust spots be repaired? Or would it be worth it to replace the fender. I know...

    Rear Window Glass Clips

    I removed the rear window glass to repair some rust holes. I'm installing new trim clips. Does it matter where the spacer clips (I think that's what it's called) go? The old clips were missing. Also, is adhesive used to reinstall the rear glass or is butyl tape used? I heard this tape is...

    Engine Build Date

    I have a 340 engine. I'm trying to determine what year the engine is. I located the stamped info at the base of the head on the driver's side. I have looked on different threads that explain the stampings. I don't understand what they mean about a 10,000 day calendar, when they talk about the...

    On my 70 Barracuda with manual steering, I noticed if you pull up on the steering wheel, there is a 1/2 gap between the steering column and the crush can. I posted this problem before. Some people responded that the shaft may have collapsed, like it's supposed to. The other day I noticed that...

    Rear Tires Turn When Trans is in Park

    On my 70 Barracuda with a 727 Slap Stick I noticed I can turn the rear tires by hand when it's in park. It was like this when I bought the car. I had the trans rebuilt because it was leaking so badly (cheaper to rebuild than a re-gasket/seal). The car still has the same problem. Is there an...

    Rough Idle

    I bought a 70 340 Barracuda about 3 months ago. The car was originally a 383, 2 barrel. It idles rough and smelled like raw fuel from the exhaust. I went through the carb, Edelbrock 1407, 750cfm. The floats level was way off. I adjusted the floats, the fuel smell is gone. I also adjusted the...

    The driver's door on my 70 Barracuda won't open from the outside handle. The door opens fine from the inside.
