The WPC Club invites all A body owners to our 2024 Annual Meet in Windsor Ontario Canada from August 6 - 11, 2024. The host hotel is Caesar's Windsor and we have the use of Festival Plaza on the waterfront at the Detroit River. Discounted room rates are available at Caesar's. For further...

I have experience with the opposite. My '79 Aspen wagon had 2.71 gears and I needed the axle rebuilt and couldn't tie the car up while it was being done. So I popped a 2.94 in it while the rebuilt was being done. I lost about 2-3mpg in fuel economy and saw a very slight increase in off the...

Depends on whether or not you make any other changes. If you leave the 2v camshaft in the engine, it's going to make a little more power, but not a lot. If you go to a cam that's matched to the carb & intake you put on, then you'll see a decent difference. Basically if you leave the 2v cam in...

It could have any engine offered from the 225-1V to the E58 360-4V.

Why are you surprised by that? The 7¼" rear end couldn't handle a 360 if you pulled four plug wires.

Phew, a legal expert. You'll be a big help.

A47 is the Sportwagon Available in 1979 and 1980

Check again. The fifth digit is the engine. There's no engine coded as a "0". Probably a "C", indicating a 225 slant six.

Well, first off, you know there's no such thing as a 1968 Plymouth Volare. Volares were around from 1976 to 1980. So I'd suggest you start by finding a better vin decoder. The only difference between an Aspen hood and a Volare hood is the nameplates and trim on it. The hoods themselves are...

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

Hi Ulf Looking forward to seeing you in Windsor!

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...

On behalf of the WPC Club Inc, I'd like to invite all members of ForABodiesOnly to attend the WPC Club International Invitational Meet August 6 - 11 in Windsor Ontario. What are you doing this summer? What about a vacation in Windsor? And once you’re here, there happened to be a car show...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

'75/'76 Dart SE two door hardtop interior. Front buckets, rear bench seat, door panels and rear trim panels. Vintage red. $300.00 plus shipping

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...

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...

Can't understand why this was beyond your wildest dream. I think most if not all of us would have been shocked if you hadn't won this as well as a host of other awards. Perseverance, long hours, hard work and amazing attention to detail have brought you this recognition. Not only well...

Great story about the brake booster supplier. I'm betting there are dozens if not hundreds more that are very similar to that. Do you have your judging sheets from Carlisle yet? Will you post it?

I'll stand to be corrected on this, but my guess is that if the tag were adhesive backed, it would have/could have been installed by the assembly plant. If it were mechanically attached (wire tire or slotted cutout to fit over a mating part), it could have gone either way. I'd venture to say...

I have three guesses as to why they were used. 1. They're a reinforcement for the LCA at the bumper mounting point. 2. Somebody (chassis engineering?) determined that the bumper was ineffective in cushioning a full suspension compression motion and it was quicker to shim it up than it...

Are these plates a separate piece or are they the bottom of the bumper?

Because the tag itself is pretty much in the shape of the bag, I think you're correct that it's for older model cars. What does the owner's manual say about operation of the windshield washers? Do you have the floor button pump style or the push-in at the wiper switch electric variety...
