OEM-like plain rubber bushings will likely last 20-30 years in your hot climate. Chinese-made ones? Not so confident. But by the time they wear out, petrol fuel may not be available. if you want to stiffen things up, agreed, polyurethane bushings are a nice upgrade. Some of the polymer...

The 3695644 part number checks out 1972 dealer parts book, BELT, Rear Seat Lap Outboard Tip Half for 1972 Barracudas and Challengers.

1970 F440 HP (where F=1970) are kind of rare. Getting a random one with a partial VIN from the Newark plant could even be harder to find. But still possible. I hope you find what you're looking for.

I've seen something like this behavior, before. Twice in the last few years. The scenario is cars at a light, the light turns green, but driver #1 is on their and phone doesn't notice. Driver #2 only sees the green light just as it's turning yellow. Since it's too late to honk & when #2 is a...

ok, thanks.

Could they have used four (presuming OEM-style one-piece stamped-steel) gaskets to resolve some kind of clearance problem? As if the mating surfaces between the intake and head were not quite coming together properly? I've replaced a few of those one-piece valley-pan (intake manifold) gaskets...

50-year old decals would make nice wall art. But for use on a car in an actual concourse restoration, I'm not so sure. If not usable in a restoration, they're probably worth $100-200. But I think more, if they can still be used.

A few thoughts, some may be off the mark. You may want to invest in some tools to measure the cylinder bores and crankshaft bearing areas, and learn how to measure these for yourself. Because if you're going to rely on a seller to tell you if the block is any good or not, you may get taken to...

Ima still looking for these, parts, too.

Ima still looking for these pieces of chrome.

Hoarders don't typically brag. You may need a therpist. :p
