Thanks, Bob! I was at the parts store, so I had 'em look one up for
a '68 Barracuda. It looks like it will fit (I'm going to bring in the
manifold tomorrow), but it was a cast iron piece, so it was nasty
looking. :-( The neck on it wasn't anywhere near as long as the necks
on our trucks, but a hose clamp might hold it on there I suppose. (The
neck seemed narrower than the hose on my Dak too.) Tomorrow, I'm going
to bring it in, and we'll open up the boxes and see what's available.
