    Out of storage

    !!YOU SUCK!!! (I'm kidding!!!) I just YESTERDAY stuffed mine back in the darkest corner of the shed because IT'S WINTER, and about an hour later it started to SNOW. We actually had some snow earlier, but it warmed back up and rained. That is a VERY nice looking A!!

    Alternator

    On a side note, Ma knew this was a weak sister, and provided a kind of better wiring known commonly as Fleet/ police/ taxi. You can find this in some of the service manuals involving factory 65A optional alternators. The ammeter leads were run through the firewall separately in a...

    Alternator

    !!!NO!!! Read the Mad article for reasons why. Do some sort of bypass. If nothing else, Crackedback makes a simple bypass kit. YOU NEED a breaker or fuse in the bypass YOU NEED to NOT just install the bypass. YOU NEED if you do a bypass, to ALSO fix the poor connections in the...

    Help! Need assistance in identifying old 360 mopar

    There is still a chance it could be a HYDRAULIC (not electric) lockup. Look at the input shaft. If it has splines all the way to the end, it is a non lockup. If the shaft has a smooth area on the end, resembling a stick shift pilot bearing shaft, it is a lockup

    Checking in with a 73 Duster my Grandpa and I split today

    WOW I misread that, when I read the title I thought that you and your Gramps had split up!!! That is awesome So far as wheels you need to find out if it is the small or large bolt pattern wheels, as the wheel selection is much greater with the 4 1/2" pattern. (Ford, AMC etc) So...

    Interduce myself to y'all.

    Sorry young lady I have no idea. There might be some Saturn owners here, but this board is meant for Chrysler/ Mopar people and in that case an "A" body is not GM, but the older Dart/ Valiant and pre--70 Barracudas, as well as the older Plymouth Dusters and Dodge Demons I don't...

    Need Brains

    Best to you, what do you have? One of the first things you need if you do not have, is to run over to MyMopar.com and download the closest you can get to a factory service manual, and you may have to settle for Dodge vs Plymouth, or other way around.

    New guy with M300 mini motorhome.

    Lordie. I think there's one of those on Phlakebook Marketpharce right now!! What appears cool about that is the lack of rear overhang, which should make it a pretty fair towing rig.

    Another New Guy with questions.

    Man we are gonna HAVE to demand photos of those two!!! I'm 75, and unfortunately, my 67 is still apart. I silly bought a 74 /6 Scamp that needed a roof, and am going to have to tear the front/ rear glass back out because the glass company are skill-less and brain-less

    65 A Bodie fuel & temp gauge problems

    Things to do while it is out: Loosen/ tighten all screws to "scrub" the copper clean, or remove them and use an eraser or some very fine sandpaper, like 500g, as well as the lamp socket terminals. Examine and clean lamp sockets, bend the little contact ears for tight contact. Loosen/...

    65 A Bodie fuel & temp gauge problems

    As near as I can tell the IVR is tied in correctly. Read the page link I posted, and find out if they have properly isolated/ disabled the original internal limiter. The very top terminal of the fuel, with the one red wire, follow that trace and notice that it goes to the temp gauge...

    ^^Thanks Rob......I have forgotten what year. Ralley gauge clusters always have the IVR internal to the fuel gauge.^^

    65 A Bodie fuel & temp gauge problems

    Gauges are not that complicated, follow the path. The key switch on has TWO power outputs............accessory, and "ignition run." That is, continuous outputs The start output and the brown IGN2 ballast bypass are only hot in "start." So all power that dies when off is either...

    Newbie with a 67 Dart GT

    Welcome aboard. Mine will never be that nice!! I would do a major tuneup. What engine do you have? Compression, leakdown test, find out if it has adjustable valves, examine plugs and change if necessary, check wires, cap rotor, points, condenser, or whatever ignition system is...

    Hello everyone.......lifelong Mopar fan and FINALLY an owner!

    My first Mopar, around 71, was a 69 383 4 speed, don't remember the paint code, silver grey, and vinyl top. Had the factory "Magnum 500" wheels or whatever they were called.

    hello from New Zealand, 18 spline head ache a833.

    Depends on if you want an overdrive final gear, and yeh, they were some weaker. What Mopar (and others including Ford) did was to essentially turn the 3/4 shift lever upside down, so that the shifter treated the old 3rd gear in the gearbox as 4th gear, AKA the OD box shifted the...

    hello from New Zealand, 18 spline head ache a833.

    I believe either that was GM or some other adaptation. YOU NEED TO MAKE CERTAIN this is not an overdrive box. To do that all you need to do is to determine if 3rd gear is underdriven or overdriven. Take a wrench and rotate the front shifter shaft clockwise which will put the gearbox...

    hello from New Zealand, 18 spline head ache a833.

    AJ IS CORRECT. We need a photo of the complete gearbox. GM used several different combinations of A833, including a stock looking case with an adapter plate, a special case with GM bolt pattern, and some even had Chev 10? spline shafts. All GM 833's except the 4x4 ones (that I've...

    hello from New Zealand, 18 spline head ache a833.

    Yup. Way WAY back in about '73 I swapped a 340 into my 70 440-6 RR. Had to have the hole in the bell turned out larger for the retainer, and just got a 10 1/2" 18 spline disk. YOU MAY HAVE A SMALL BLOCK whereby the crank pilot hole is not finished, and I had a 5.9 Magnum that was...

    New from So Cal (don’t hate me to quickly lol)

    Spent 4 years from 70-74, stationed at then NAS Miramar, had a great time. But I will never go back

    New from So Cal (don’t hate me to quickly lol)

    I'm thinkin there can't be too many door slammer pickups from back then. Around here we used to see one or two occasionally, and usually surplus USAF or other commercial "crew" rigs like power companies.

    Looking to purchase my first A body - is this sound concerning?

    No idea. Trying to diagnose engine sounds by "youtube" is tough at best and impossible, generally, due to other noise, and the freq response of the recording device as well as whatever we are viewing / listening on. BUT having said that, you will gain nothing at all from the exhaust...
