I'm looking for a radiator shroud for a '69 plymouth radiator #2949072 automatic. There's also another # on the radiator 38086 Any ideas where to find one. Already looked at Mancinis and Classic Industries with no luck.

Mild cam, headers, 600cfm edelbrock carb, Mopar chrome ECU box Have Champions installed now and wondered if there's an easy upgrade.

Ideas on a good replacement for a Mopar chrome ECU box? Can't find a replacement and this one is beginning to hiccup occasionally. Small block. Last incident happened while engine was warm after gassing up. Cranked and cranked, then I heard a click through the firewall and it instantly fired...

I'm topping off my 727 auto transmission fluid level and not sure which trans fluid to use. The transmission has been rebuilt with a shift kit. Fluid level's a little low and want to use some good fluid recommended for the Mopar. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...

Found it! The cap on the rear intake vacuum port was cracked. Replaced it and fixed the problem. Thank You! I have a mildly built small block 360 which idles very rough when put in gear. (idles smooth in park). Only recent changes to the motor was I adjusted / took out some slack on the...

I'm installing a new Holley red electric fuel pump. Should the fuel filter install before the pump or after?

I'm installing an electronic fuel pump on my '69 Valiant. Holley red - same as the old one I'm replacing. It's is making strange noises (was always loud) although not affecting motor performance and is around 10 years old with maybe 3,000 miles on it. Someone told me NOT to use white teflon pipe...

I recently installed a new speedometer cable and the mph readings were off by 20-30 plus mph. Called Mancini Racing, gave them my tire size (P225R1595S) along with the rear end gear size (3.91) and was told I needed to install a 40 tooth driven gear, which I purchased and installed. (The old...

I need to change the driven gear on a 727 transmission as I recently changed the speedometer cable and the speed reading is off because of a rear end gear change and larger tire size. Found the right gear replacement (40 tooth) and a new one is being delivered today from Mancini's. I've never...

I put in a new speedometer cable in my 69 valiant today. 727 trans. (Third try, the last two times the speedometer needle jumped all over the place.) Today's installation was a success as the speedometer needle moves nice and smooth. My problem is, the speed reading is way off. Says I was doing...

I'm installing a new speedometer cable on my '69 valiant. Small block. Have the speedometer end connected to the dash and ready to connect the transmission end to the transmission. Second time around putting in a new cable as the last time the speedometer was jumping around and sending high...

I have a 360 small block with a 600cfm Edelbrock Performer carb (square bore) and an Edelbrock Performer (spread bore) intake manifold. No performance issues. Decent throttle response and runs good. Problem is I have hard start up issues when the motor's hot and want to put a carb spacer between...

As a general rule of thumb, how close should a fan blade be to the radiator and how far should the fan blade be inside/outside of the the radiator shroud to be efficient?

I swapped out a slant six for a mildly built 360 in a '69 Valiant. I kept the stock/6 radiator and had a local radiator shop custom add two rows making it a 4 row radiator. (some folks tell me I should have went with 3 rows) Anyway, I just wanted to keep it looking stock. On a hot 95 degree day...

I recently had my 1969 Valiant's front end completely rebuilt at a reliable, highly referred local auto shop which specializes in old classic's work using a PST front end kit. (Rubber bushings, not the polygraphite). It really tightened up my steering ratio and handles the bumps in the road much...

I have a new MSD Blaster coil and am currently using the chrome Mopar ECU box with an Accell coil on a small block 360. I want to switch coils but a couple people told me I need to use an MSD ECU box with their coils because MSD products don't play nice with anything but other MSD products...

I just installed a new speedometer cable from the transmission to the speedometer hookup (push on - clip type) on the back of the dash bezel in a 1969 Valiant. While driving, the speedometer needle goes crazy! It wildly bounces back and forth and is registering 80 to 110 mph when I know I'm...

I'm putting my dash back together and everything's going well. Just a quick (and probably stupid) question. I have a separate hot (red) and I believe a ground (black) wire that I'm 90% sure were BOTH connected to the marked red post (separated by washers and bolts) on the circuit board when...

I needed to replace my speedometer / cable on my 1969 Valiant and purchased a used instrument cluster years ago. (Currently getting all the bezels re-finished also). I took out my gauge housing yesterday and can't figure out what the cylinder shaped piece on the back is used for. (please see...

I own a '69 Valiant and am having some refinishing done on the interior - dash, heater control and radio bezels. Having the pro's do it. The rest of the interior is in great shape. Seats, new carpet, etc. The headliner is a smooth one piece with no section stitching whatsoever. Does anyone...

I am going to look at a 65 Plymouth Belvedere II later today. Just a four door all original cruiser. Not for a muscle car. It has a 318 Poly motor which i didn't know is different than most 318's Any thoughts?

I changed the wheels on my ride from a 14 inch to a 15 inch rim. How much will that offset the speedometer and odometer readings?

A while back I purchased a used 69 instrument cluster to use for spare parts. (Wiper switch, headlight switch, speedometer, etc.). I need to change the speedometer cable hookup on the back of the speedometer currently on the car because the end housing is cracked and the speedometer cable won't...

I have a quick question....does anyone know how many total quarts a 727 Torquflite holds and what's the best type to use?

I have a small block 360 motor in a '69 Valiant. It fires up immediately when starting cold but a few days ago out cruising the motor died after warming up. It would crank but not start. Very weak spark. After waiting two hours for it to cool down, started right up and died again after running...

I'm looking for a front and rear bumper for my 1969 Plymouth Valiant...they look identical to the 70 Duster front/rear bumpers. does anyone know if these are interchangeable?

I want to freshen up the dash, glove box door and interior door panels (which are metal) on my '69 Valiant. They are in good shape but need a fresh coat of black paint. does anyone know the mopar paint code(s) for black interior paint on a '69 Plymouth?

I've just swapped a slant six for a 360 small block in a '69 Plymouth Valiant which had factory a/c. I assumed the radiator was heavy duty enough to handle the cooling issues because of the a/c. so I kept the original radiator, fan and shroud from the slant six. I have a March bracket/serpentine...

I have a recently rebuilt small block 360. The coolant temperature was topping off around 205/210 degrees while driving it normal to hard in 80 degree weather. I drained and changed the antifreeze to a 50/50 mixture and added a pint of water wetter and let it idle (on another 80 degree day) for...

I was wondering what is the normal/ideal engine coolant temperature when running normal/ hard in a small block (360) and what temperature is considered running hot?
