    [WANTED] 67-76 donor metal where the shock bolts are inside trunk

    That would be great. How about sending me a PM so we can set up the payment, etc? Thanks.

    How many CURRENT owners of real '74 360 Duster 4 speed cars on here?

    One showed up at the Lebanon TN show last year. Sherwood Green, 4-speed, white vinyl top with factory sunroof. Either an immaculate restoration or immaculate original. I didn't see pictures of it so far. I took pictures of it but hesitate to post someone else's car without their ok. Is the owner...

    [WANTED] 67-76 donor metal where the shock bolts are inside trunk

    Hope you don't mind me using your picture. The area shown within the lines, outward to the wheel wells, rearward to where it is cut already. Thanks.

    Modern re-creation for those old window graphics?

    Hey everyone: My 1969 Dart sedan has an ancient dealer-promo window graphic in the rear window that I would like to have reproduced if possible because it is so neat. I am guessing this was some type of decal transfer. I didn't know that stuff existed back then and this is the only car I've...

    [WANTED] 67-76 donor metal where the shock bolts are inside trunk

    Hey guys: I need to buy a chunk of good metal from someone. This is the portion of sheetmetal inside the trunk where the shock bolts are, as shown. I've never seen a car that had this damaged, but when a po swapped in an 8.25 into my SLANT SIX Swinger, they mangled that area on one side...

    Another engine ID mystery.

    The sticker is the part number. There really isn't much else to learn since we know that all of them were cast-crank, hydraulic lifter 225 engines by then. I had a '68 also. What engine is your car coded for in the VIN? Check the 5th digit...if it's an A it originally had a 170 like my car did...

    Condenser differences?

    Thankful for the help but I wasn't satisfied with these answers, so I did my own research: Mopar apparently used a total of 3 different part numbers for ignition condensers- 1818757 used on early single-point engines and on later dual point applications. 2098058 used on single-point...

    Condenser differences?

    I have a highly technical question- I see condensers with a regular wire, and I see them with a large copper strap. Why? What are the differences(besides one has a wire and one has a strap)? My 2bbl 273 Dart still has the original installed at the factory in November 1968 and it's the...

    Chrysler starter spin down time

    Well, I thought I would contribute to this thread again since, in the intervening years I have bought and rebuilt many of these starters and used several for parts. I feel that I can condense a lot of the information that has already been posted in order to answer the original question in a way...

    Oil from Manifold?

    I've never seen that one before...if it's an original engine that hasn't been apart then it has a steel shim head gasket that could theoretically rot out and leak. Might want to brake clean it off and then carefully watch it while someone runs the engine about 2500 rpm. Watch the fan!

    30, 41, 46, 50 amp alternators? Yeah RIGHT

    Great information. So it sounds like I need to find a used alternator testing machine, if one of those is capable of loading the alternator. Curious though....why wouldn't Chrysler build just one "50-amp" alternator instead of going to the trouble of building different units such as the 34 and...

    30, 41, 46, 50 amp alternators? Yeah RIGHT

    So, has anyone noticed the funny business Mopar used with their alternator ratings? Oh, I know there were supposed to be different ratings available on paper in different years, but I spent some time looking through parts books recently and found some interesting stuff. Let me clarify that I'm...

    All right, is there any good 5/16 fuel line anywhere now?

    I wish I could say I had a hose leak on a 426 Hemi, but nope, this was on my 1969 Dart with a 273. Sometime in the last couple of years while the car was getting put back together, I installed new reproduction fuel lines at the engine and new hose sections and a filter. This is the old-style...

    Holley 1920 accelerator pump issues

    I second that. Holley 1920 carbs have all the typical Holley problems with the metering block, the diaphragm-type accelerator pump that has a convenient leak hole to dump fuel on the manifold when it ruptures, a bowl gasket under fuel, a side-hung nitrophyl float...it's just a problem looking...

    1963-69 starter question, and it's a good one...

    Good evening: Let's see if anyone knows or pretends to know the answer to a question I will include near the end of this post. First, some factual information- At least as far back as 1962 and lasting through most of the 1969 model year, Chrysler equipped vehicles that had automatic...
