I remember when they gave you 12/12 on the Hemi.Just as long as you didnt race it.Right everyone bought a Hemi to drive to church on Sundays.There was an old guy here that had a 68 Hemi and it was his daily driver.I think he was the only person Ive ever seen that just drove one then and never got into it.He just liked big motors.He traded it for a Mustang with the Boss 429.Rocky

this card says no warranty on this car
I don't think it matters now , you are past the warranty period ... ...
That is for a superstock car , obviously a previous owner stuck it in there .

The race Hemi also had a crossram intake and dual Holleys.
Only the Super Stock cars came with the no warranty disclaimer and they had labels that read "This vehicle was not manufactured for use on public streets, roads or highways and does not conform to Motor Vehicle Safety Standards."

I did not think it goes with my car but according to a restoration book I have MOTORBOOKS WORKSHOP Restoration guide 1968 to 1971 it does say QUOTE "" Those cars with the 426 Hemi in 1968 and 1969 only could be ordered with manual steering gear box as a delete option on the power steering. In that case the Barracuda's gearbox, part 2537728, with 16:1 ratio was used. This is a very rare find and was offered only on those cars that were set up to go racing."" So I'm not sure how to find out any more information on this.

That book is a mess. Question almost every statement in it. Better yet, toss it.

what book for restoration would you recommend for a good restoration guide
I'm being dead serious here: No such book in existance.
Mopars are not like Chevies and Fords, there were many variables throughout the years, plants, production periods, and models, and even within the specific models there were dozens of items that varied from one car to the next, writing an accurate restoration guide would be basically impossible. The best possible guide for your car is the car iteself, looking for clues during dissasembly is a key to doing an accurate job on that particular example. The worst case scenario being a basket case or previously restored car, the best case would be an untouched low mile car (even a well worn example).
If you really want the best guidance become a fixture here on Moparts and ask allot of questions (preferably BEFORE you start to restore something, not after looking for confirmation as so often is the case here). Posting detailed pics of the subject part is always going to get you the best help.
