Does any manufacturer make a cowl cover for our A bodies? Specifically a 76 Dart? Looking for something similar to this mustang, so to stop leaks and what not.

The probe goes into the evaporator? Through an opening somewhere? Or just push it in anywhere between the fins? I’m confused about the mesh screen and O ring included in the kit also. What do we do with that? Also what electricals are you unplugging and plugging into the thermostat unit...

I’ve tried contacting Original Air for tech support, but have been waiting for a call back or even email for over a couple weeks now. I’ll ask here and maybe someone can help. Long story short I had my RV2 overhauled and am converting to R134. I purchased the Original Air thermostat kit and am...

Never mind sorry for the post, figured it out. I had the belt routing incorrect. Installing an AC in the car and just putting the final parts of this together.

I’m trying to change the AC drive line belt on the slant six. I can’t figure out how to get the drive belt onto the crank pulley. The timing marker is in the way and I don’t want to bend it and break it. Do I have to remover the entire timing cover to gain access? What am I missing? Looks like...

Hey all. I just had my RV2 rebuilt by classic auto air. I also purchased a new evaporator and drier and will be replacing all the lines. Also rebuilt the dash box/ blower assembly. Can I flush out the original 1976 AC Condenser of R12, or is it advisable to purchase a new one so I don’t...

Thanks, I heated it with a propane torch and used air and it shot out. Will have to search for a new one, i cleaned it inside the carb and the weight itself and it gets stuck in there, like it’s expanded or something.

Hi, I bought a spare Holley 1945 to take along on my upcoming winter road trip. Donor car was a 75 valiant. I’ve only done three carb rebuilds, never seen this before so not sure how to proceed. Would appreciate any help. Was about to test the accelerator pump without check ball and weight...

I drive it nearly every day (about 30 miles) and this suddenly came up. Think I’ll be changing the fuel filter and pulling the carb to check for debris. Also float levels. Thanks.

I started fouling plugs yesterday at red lights and have strong exhaust smell while stopped. Decided maybe just needed a quick tuneup so reset my timing and carb adjustments with vacuum gauge to dial it all in. Stock 76 slant six with Holley 1945. Come to find that turning the idle fuel...

Thanks for the tip. I was unaware of this vapor return line and will check for it. Upon looking at factory manual it looks like the line routes to the charcoal canister. Easy as unplugging and routing a new fuel line there. Are you guys installing a one way check valve also along the return line?

Interesting ideas there…sorry I didn’t mention it’s a ‘76 Dart stock 225 slant six.

Hello all, I’m still new to this and learning as I go. I believe with the 90+ degree days and heat index at 105 the last couple days in Miami and foreseeable future , I am certainly experiencing vapor lock conditions. After searching these forums and YouTube, I’m still confused in terms of...

I just rewatched the Chrysler training video on the 1945. It is the “Power valve”. Comes up at 6minutes 40 seconds in the video. Looks a little like a jet but with a spring under it. My rebuild kit didn’t include a jet or power valve.

Thanks for the bulletins I will print them for referencing. My 1945 is stamped 4006602 7356 2545 And on the edge side 6R-51476 From my research I purchased the carb kit corresponding with the second number 7356. I Haven’t been able to figure out what size jet and where to get the primary...
