    No, but I'm the organizer so if you've got any questions, I can answer them.

    Front Shock Recommendation

    First we all need to know what engine your car was built with and what engine it has in it now. Chrysler used THREE different torision bars depending on whether or not the car had a/c and the engine installed. Plain /6 cars got the smallest bar. /6 cars with a/c and 318 non a/c cars got a...

    What SWAY BAR to choose

    One thing no one seems to have mentioned here is the actual design characteristics of a sway bar. Better called an anti-roll bar, its main purpose is to decrease the understeer inherently designed into all of these cars. The bigger the bar the more you get towards oversteer. Adding a rear bar...

    Aluminum slant block

    The aluminum block engines were not an "option". Chrysler installled them randomly as a field test for the whole concept of an open fire aluminum diecast cylinder block.

    What disk brake upgrade for a 74 duster, not Wilwood

    FWIW, I upgraded the front discs in my '79 Aspen with the 11-7/8" discs from a '79 Cordoba. Both cars use the same front spindle, so for the sake of a caliper adapter from the Cordoba, you can go from the stock 1 0.5" discs to the 11-7/8". Both setups use the same caliper.

    IBM Card 1971 Duster 340

    Information on cars from mid 1967 to mid 1972 were thrown out by an overzealous and unsupervised employee. No fire, no lost. Thrown away by someone who shouldn't have ever touched them. Worst part is, Chrysler had the opportunity to recreate the information and didn't see the point of...

    1971 Dodge Dart GT

    I don't know who you spoke to at Chrysler Historical but there was never a fire. That's a myth that refuses to die. The main records that Historical held that contained information on specific cars were the shipping invoices. From somewhere in 1965 until almost 1972, a now ex-supervisor in...

    Dale's Cuda Shop wire hose clamps not the correct size? - 1967 Dart 273

    I must be missing something here. Why would you order a "kit" that you're not sure will work, when you can just go and order Corbin clamps the size you want from a local jobber shop? Yes, not all shops will carry them, but a little calling around will get you what you need and not what someone...

    Broadcast Sheet / Fender Tag Engine Codes

    Beg to differ slightly on your explanation of the code shown ahead of the SO number. This is actually known as the Body Frame Date. This is the date on which the unibody shell was built. It can be, but also may not be the date on which the car was driven off the end of the assembly line. All...

    1965 Dodge Dart Charger

    Two things immediately come to mind First, from the jagged edges of the tape, it must have been in something very much like a normal scotch tape dispenser. The jagged edges look like the teeth from one of those holders. Second, if the tape is fabric, then the most commonly available material...

    1965 Dodge Dart Charger

    Obviously these judges have never been in a Chrysler assembly plant! Oil/coolant drips from joints that are not fully sealed are NORMAL!! I'd argue that given the fact that the locking strip for the windshield was installed in 45 seconds or so, the occasional crack in the mylar is also...
