she does look like trouble

As a youngster, I put in a clutch disc backwards, oops.

I have done something similar except I didn't tighten the pressure plate bolts all the way, just enough to keep the disc in place but still allow the disc to move around a bit. After the tranny was in, I would rotate the engine to tighten the pressure plate bolts.

A guy restoring a Superbird was looking for a pair of date stamped straps like above. I had a couple of sets in a junk bolt bucket. Unbelievably I had the exact date he was looking for. I only asked 15 bucks for them, being nice. They guy doubled the money, nice guy!

Thank you Cuda Joe for the pictures. Believe it or not, I was going through my shelf of parts to put my car completely back together and found the shield. Crazy

I am not an expert, but seems like a score to me.

Pics please!

I feel your pain! It is amazing what gets tossed on these old cars.

My 71 is missing this shield. Any chance you could take some measurements of the piece as it looks pretty straightforward to make one. You could take a couple of pictures of it with a ruler next to it and I can figure out all the other measurements based on the pictures. Thanks.

I offer to pay the 5% fee if I am the buyer. If they balk, they obviously don't want my business.

I have a 74 Cuda with AC and manual steering. It has a redneck engineered idler pully in place of the power steering pump pulley. Does anyone have a picture of the stock idler pulley bracket for a small block they can share with me, preferably a picture on the engine would be helpful. Thanks!

Look up how to register the car in Vermont. They have very lax requirements, and you don't have to be a Vermont resident. Once you have the title in hand, you can transfer it to CA.

My dutchman panel set high relative to the quarter panel on the driver's side. I cut several slits in the flange on the dutchman panel. This allowed me to gently press down on the panel to make it flush and then welded it in. I welded the slits together as well. The pic is the final look.

Short answer: the column has two shafts, the shaft connecting to your steering box will slide out from the other one. Although sometimes it can get rusty inside there and be difficult to move in and out.

Don’t rule out ignition. A weak spark can mimic carb issues.

Sure reminds me of my 71 build. Link is for a internet magazine article. What Are You Working On?

I had a similar situation, I epoxied a short section of brake line into the hole making sure to not plug the vacuum port up. When the hose was attached, you could not tell the difference.

No one needs to know it is a 408, dress it up like a 340 and let er rip. My 408 in my 71 Barracuda.
