Hi everyone, first I want to thank everyone for all the helpful comments over the years and the shared interest in our old Mopars. I am wanting to change out the 3.91 gears that I had installed many years ago for 3.23 which is a better match for my needs these days. I want to be sure I get the...
Has anyone replaced the springs in the hood safety latch and the release lever? It would be great if someone has documented how they did this. Can probably figure out if I can find the springs. Mine have broken and looks like the pivot pin needs to be cut off on end in order to remove/replace.
There's a Moparfest in Mobile at the Battleship. Info is at this link:

I have a '72 small block/727/Thermoquad setup that I am trying to refine. I seems like there is too much accelerator cable length in engine compartment causing it to bind which requires a lot of spring tension for carb throttle bracket to rest on idle adj screw consistently. There is quite a...
Has anyone seen this issue? I was disassembling distrubutor and do not see a screw or spring clip to allow removal of the top of the shaft. Maybe spring tabs are broken off or maybe there is a different way to remove? I think this was from a 74 Cuda w/electronic ignition.
Looking for distributor to use in 360 that has 408 stroker kit with electronic ignition. Needs to be ready to drop in and use. I will be installing FBO timing limiter plate before use.
Curious if anybody is using the OEM style PCV breather on small block Mopar Performance valve covers. i drilled hole in circular blank , now thinking maybe not the best way, and tried to use the grommet that was provided but have never gotten a solid fit due to the depth of metal in that area...
My door jamb sticker was obliterated during restoration and I didn't have the forethought to get a photo of it but I do have the fender tag and VIN label for dash. This is a 1972 318-2bbl car. Does the door jamb sticker only have the date of manufacture and VIN or is there more info? I have...
I would like to add a front sway bar to my non-sway bar car. It seems like I need to find the correct lower control arms with the built in brackets, rebuild them and add stiffening plates, and then swap out the originals. Any other suggestions or aftermarket kits that will work without...
Looking for the raised washer that goes on the window guide bracket , under the horizontal lift track. It goes on the bracket at the lower rear of the window glass.
I am reinstalling door glass in a 72 Barracuda using a hit purchased from Classic Industries. The hardware in my door looks different than the kit and I don't recognize some of the pieces. Some of my original parts are shown on the lower left with what looks like a corresponding new part to...
What is the PCV set up with a shaker hood on Cudas? This is a street car using Thermoquad and PCV routing on 72 model small block but looks like this will have to change to use the shaker. Photos would be helpful, thanks in advance.
Has anyone found a source for the door striker bolt bushings? My original striker bolts are perfectly fine I just need the plastic or nylon bushing that was inside. They aren't the same as what the local parts stores sell.
I have three questions about window trim that I hope someone can help with. 1) the windshield trim has screws that hold the lower corner pieces. It looks like these will screw directly to the slotted holes in the body. Is that correct or am I missing a clip that they screw into? Looks like I...
My car is originally a 72 Barracuda. I have swapped to a shaker hood and still using all of the original 72 flat hood latch hardware. I want to bring the front of the hood down just a little more when latched for better alignment with the nose. I have already extended the mounting holes in...
Has anyone tried the fiberglass shaker parts that Year One sells? Looks like they cost a lot less than the steel parts. I am setting this up on a Thermoquad and I am not sure how the fit will be to start with.
Has anyone found a source for chrome bumper bolts for 72 Cuda? In my internet search I see descriptions that say "stainless steel caps" and also see reviews on Summit where people are not happy with the finish.
My friend that is helping me with body work lost the Cuda shaker hood trim ring that I bought last summer from Year One. I ordered another from Year One, same part number and received what I believe to be a much lower quality item. It seems to be lightweight, aluminum maybe, with indentions on...
