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...

The Monroney Label (named for the U.S. Senator who spearheaded getting these labels on the car) is meant to show consumers The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), Engine and transmission specifications, Standard equipment and warranty details, Optional equipment and pricing, City and...

Ulf, I believe the invoice was attached to the right quarter window (if you have room, or the right door window if you don't). I also believe the label would not have been attached to the driver's door for two reasons (a) visibility and (b) damage to the label from rolling the window up and...

I'm quite certain there were no washers under the wing nuts. The rubberized coating was thick and soft enough that the wingnuts would bed themselves into the coating. That would prevent them from backing off.

I think I'm fairly safe in saying that the owner's manual and any other paper items would be shipped in the glove box and anything involving actual hard parts would have come in the trunk (including hubcaps and/or wheelcovers). Cars ordered with seat belts would have had them installed by the...

Ulf, if you're treating the entire exhaust system with WD-40 or any other petroleum based material, does this mean that you will not be driving the car ? It's virtually guaranteed that you're going to have a really smokey stinky car if you drive it with that stuff on the pipes. It will burn...

I believe the red paint was used on all "critical" fasteners. I believe we've talked about how it was used on brake components and elsewhere in the car where the fastener involved a component that was crucial to the safe operation of the vehicle. In the case of the rear axle plug, if the plug...

You will likely need to find someone with the engine graphics book for the plant that built the 273 engines. I wish I did, but I do not have this book.

I did.

This site referenced above shows the 273-2v as a code 31 with the 273-4v as a code 32. The '62-'65 white book shows a 273-2v as a code 30 and a 273-4v as a code 31. The '66-'68 white book agrees with the website. I managed to locate a '66 Canadian order guide which showed the 273-2v as...
