Hi all… Just need a quick brain check here. Took Buzzbee to the local Cars and Coffee in Ocean City this morning. Ran great (and has been since the new Firecore distributor a few weeks ago), but when I was nearly there, I came up to a stop light and it stalled. Pushed in the clutch and...

Installed a new Firecore electronic distributor in Buzzbee today. What a difference!! Old distributor was ok under light load or slowly increasing to cruising speed. Any moderate to heavy throttle or higher rpm cruising it would start to miss and generally run poorly. With this new...

Hi all, I thought I'd share my experience installing the Scarebird (US Car Tool) front disc brake conversion on my '68 Super Bee. I did this over the past weekend and I've included pictures below. To start - my experience was really good. I did run into a few things that I will mention here...

Hi all, Installing the Scarebird front disc brakes on my ‘68 Super Bee. I have the front hubs, drums, backing plates, brake assemblies as show in the pic. One hub is still riveted to the drum and one is not. $100 plus actual shipping. Located in close to Bethany Beach, DE. Zip 19945...

Good morning all, I met the US Car Tool (Scarebird) team at Chrysler Carlisle over the weekend and was impressed with their disc brake conversion offering for my ‘68 Super Bee. I have the list of the required parts, but was wondering if anyone who has successfully implemented this conversion...

Hi all, I’m looking to try a 750 cfm double pumper on my ‘68 Super Bee - 383 4 speed. I was googling refurbished units and saw a ton of these. I’m skeptical to begin with, but curious if anyone has tried these and if they are any good. Thanks, Bob

Hi all, Odd occurrence….my ‘68 Super Bee with a 383 and 4 speed has been running great. To Carlisle and back no problems. Out of the blue yesterday, it started fine and I went to a friend’s house and on the way it started to seemingly miss somewhat. On my way back home, it ran more and...

Hi all, Getting ready to put a new/rebuilt front suspension on the Super Bee. I'm looking at the PST rebuild kit for the lower control arms, but would like to have a spare set of LCA's to weld up in preparation. I looked at the QA1 complete LCA but they don't work on a '68 with Sway Bar...

Hi all, Ordering a new oil pan gasket and pan stud kit for my '68 Super Bee. In the meantime, I have some drips on my concrete driveway. Using Dawn Powerwash, Brakleen, etc does nothing to get those stains up. What do you guys use to cleanup your oil stains off the concrete driveway...

Hi all, Follow up to my posting in the Fuel and Air Systems Forum. As mentioned over there, new carb solved the issue of no squirter action. I'll dive into that carb and figure that out later. My immediate issue is that the car starts, idles and drives (383, 4 speed), but at partial throttle...

Hi all, My 383, 4 speed started running poorly a few days ago. Started to stumble badly pulling out from a stop. the more I drove it the more it started to backfire through the exhaust. I checked the following: 1) Vacuum Leak - none found 2) Float Levels - dribbles out of sight hole when...

Hi all, Is there an option to replace the existing integrated manual hub/drum with a separate 2 piece implementation? Seems the 11” drum/hub are pretty hard to come by. Something like this: If so, would you mind sharing manufacturer and part numbers? Thanks!!! Bob

Hi all, I’d like to freshen up the 14” Magnum 500 wheels (technically I think these are Road Wheels?) on my 68 Super Bee. What black paint have you been successful using? And I believe it is a mat finish correct? Spray on or brush on? Thanks!! Bob

Hi all, I'm thinking about replacing the control arms on my '68 Super Bee...Do the upper control arms get changed only or both the upper and lower? It seems like there are a ton of upper control arms out there but not lower control arms? Thanks! Bob

Good morning all, Can anyone confirm that the stock front sway bar on a 1968 Super Bee is 15/16"? I've put a caliper on it and I believe that's what it is, but 7/8" is also an option for replacement so I want to be sure before ordering. The FSM doesn't mention the size anywhere that I could...

Hi all, I put new shocks on my '68 Super Bee yesterday. I had to remove the sway bar end links to get the bottom bolt out and as I did, I noticed the bushings were hard as a rock, so I want to get new ones. I noticed that there are 2 3/4' and 3 3/4' length end links. Mine are 3 3/4". Out of...

Hi all. Quick question. Is the turn signal flasher and the 4 way flasher the same part number on a 68 Super Bee? Just did LED replacement and the turn signals won’t work. I know I need a Grote 44710 for example for the turn signals. My 4 ways haven’t worked since I got the car, but not sure...

Good morning all… Before I order, can you please confirm that these 158 bulbs look right? The FSM states 158’s, but for some reason I thought the bulbs were push and turn sockets, not T10. Thanks in advance! Bob

Hi all - I want to verify that the tach in my 68 Super Bee is accurate. Currently shows 3000 RPM at 60 MPH. I have an A833, 3.23 rear with 225/70R14 tires. Calculators show I should be turning more in the 2500 RPM range. Short of buying another tach and wiring it for the only purpose of...

Hi all, I have drip rail molding on the right side of my '68 Super Bee. I need the left side. I found part number MB1679 in Classis Industries, but it doesn't appear to include the half "C" shaped portion of the molding. What is the name of that piece that I should be looking for? Thanks...
