Plymouth Barracuda 1964 1965:
273 CID V8 (LA-series, optional Hi-Po), 225 CID Slant Six (G-series)
Plymouth Valiant Signet 1964 1965:
170 CID Slant Six (G-series), 225 CID Slant Six (G-series), 273 CID V8 (LA-series - 1965)
Horsepower Ranges:
Approximately 145 HP (Slant Six) to over 400 HP (426 Ramcharger).
Torque Ranges:
Approximately 245 lb-ft (Slant Six) to over 480 lb-ft (426 Ramcharger).
Carburetion Types:
Single-barrel (e.g., Carter BBD on Slant Six), Two-barrel (e.g., Carter AVS on V8s), Four-barrel (e.g., Holley on performance V8s).
Oil Change Interval:
Recommended every 3,000-4,000 miles or 3-6 months, depending on usage and oil quality of the era.
Tune Up Interval:
Points and condenser service typically every 10,000-15,000 miles. Spark plugs every 20,000-30,000 miles.
Transmission Service:
Automatic transmission fluid and filter change recommended every 20,000-30,000 miles. Manual transmission fluid inspection/change at similar intervals.
Engine Oil:
SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 (depending on climate and original recommendations, often straight 30W was also common). Consult manual for specific viscosity.
Transmission Fluid Auto:
Dexron-II or equivalent (Chrysler fluid Type A Sufix A).
Transmission Fluid Manual:
GL-4 gear oil, SAE 90.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 Heavy Duty Hydraulic Brake Fluid.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol antifreeze mixed with water (50/50 ratio). Consult manual for specific type and capacity.
Engine Sludge:
Older engines prone to sludge buildup due to shorter oil change intervals and lower quality oils used historically. Regular maintenance is key.
Carburetor Wear:
Diaphragms and gaskets in original carburetors can degrade over time, leading to fuel leaks or poor running conditions.
Electrical Component Failure:
Generators, voltage regulators, and wiring insulation can degrade, leading to charging system issues or intermittent electrical faults.
Suspension Wear:
Ball joints, tie rod ends, and bushings can wear out, affecting steering and alignment.
Rust And Corrosion:
Common for vehicles of this era, particularly in areas exposed to road salt and moisture.
