1974 Plymouth Scamp Slant 6 225 904 Automatic 91k-ish miles Clean title Located in Phoenix, AZ I've had a great time getting this car running and back on the road since last summer, but I'd like to move onto something else now. This thread captures most of the journey...

YouTube premium is where it’s at.

After taking the old radio apart, I couldn’t see a way to keep the stock look while making room for the Bluetooth amp, so I put the old non-working radio back together and installed the amp in the glove box. It’s hidden, but very accessible.

After reading some threads about "hidden bluetooth stereo", I pulled the trigger on some very budget friendly gear. Amazon.com Bluetooth power amp was $32 with coupon. Amazon.com (2) 3.5" Pyle spears were $22 Amazon Warehouse deal. I used the original 4x10 speaker as a template to create a...

I bought the special tool and struggled for 45 minutes to get it to bite enough to pull the old seal. I ended up dropping the pan and removing the valve body and I was glad I did. Super easy to get the old one out, and I think made it easier to pull the new one in with a clamp, socket, washers...

Quick update… I swapped the vacuum lines in the engine bay. Engine vacuum at the canister, and the heater control valve. Everything now seems to work exactly as it is supposed to. Pretty neat!

Hearer hoses and control valve are installed and there do not seem to be any leaks. I’m not getting what I would call hot air in the cabin. The heater hoses both feel hot at the heater core. I played around with the some of the vacuum actuators, which are slow and not moving all the way. I...

I have not, but the old heater control valve was falling apart, which leads me to think that’s why the heater was bypassed. I guess I’ll find out soon enough.

The transmission rebuild finally finished a few days ago. I got it and a new torque converter reinstalled Thursday night, and took it for a 60 minute drive yesterday. All good! Durning the downtime, I decided to paint the grille black. I know it’s not “correct”, but it was already faded and I...
