It’s raining ATF!
I was playing with the timing yesterday and took the Barracuda around the block. I pulled into the driveway, and when I got out, saw a good, solid trail of ATF going down the driveway and all the way down the street. That’s probably not a good thing, s…
Rebuilt six pack carbs, now it won’t idle
The actual issue is much more complicated than the title. This is long, so bear with me.
I’ve been going through my 440 six pack since I bought it a couple months ago – refreshing lines/hoses, changing gaskets, etc. One day I noticed fuel dribbling ou…

Hey everyone, I have a 74 Barracuda with a 440 6BBL and a 727. I’d like to do a manual conversion and already have a freshly built A833. However, I bought it for my Scamp, so it’s the short tailshaft version of the trans. Other than compensating for th…
