Two extra doors!

Found it! Tough one huh? Maybe nobody's car has this anymore. These granny Darts are awesome because they've never been screwed with. I saved this one because it's a rare (for '69) 273 loaded with power steering and fabulous Chrysler Airtemp air conditioning. All these parts would make an...

Hey guys: I am reassembling the dash on my Dart after I restored it and I'm having a memory lapse. I know WHAT this thing is...it's the support for the driver-side defroster hose, but I can't recall where it attaches to whatever it attaches to. All I remember is it was somewhere to the left...

I'm glad I found this thread. I'm overhauling the compressor on my '69 273 Dart. Somehow it ran out of oil and took out both connecting rods and and the front bearing. I might be able to save the crank, we'll see. The number on my compressor is 2951195, which the parts book indicates is a V2...

Second that. For instance, in '68 Slant cars with a 170, or a 225 without A/C, didn't get a seal...cars with A/C did. 225 Slants got a 1" larger fan than a 170 also.

Well, what actually went down was that I installed this thing as-is, with sealer against the intake, then a new gasket, then the thermostat, then the housing. And, it leaked. Not while running, but each night when it cooled down it leaked. So, I took it off, ground the dimples, sealer on both...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not going to buy another controller because they are ALSO 40-50 years old. The controllers are perfectly rebuildable, you just have to find or make the parts. I'll update this when I come up with something.

Hey guys, again: I've been slogging through projects on a '68 Valiant I bought over the summer, and one thing that has me at a temporary standstill is the heater control panel. I am referring specifically about the unit mounted in the dash of the car that has 2 sliders and one fan switch. Not...

Hey guys: Before I decide that I'm smarter than the Chrysler engineers that designed them and take measures to mitigate them, why is there a dimple on each end of the later style "tin" thermostat housing? I had to replace the original on one of my engines and it had them. The replacement also...

Hey guys: Just clarifying that the intake heater hose fitting on a 340 is 3/8 npt? Thanks.

Doesn't that car take a 22" radiator maximum? I've never had one that old with a V8, but every later-model with a V8 and 26" radiator has never suffered heating problems at idle. I use the same type 5-blade clutch fan and factory shroud on each. You may want to look at the water pump pulley...

Made me think that I had a factory Mopar skinny viscous clutch/fan combo somewhere, so I went looking for it. Sure enough, this is from a 1980 slant six Diplomat with A/C . The fan is 18", the clutch is 2.90" flange to front edge of thermo coil, and the fan blades are about 2.70" inches thick...

If God wanted us to fly he would have given us wings? If Mopar thought electric fans were a good idea, every A-body would have had them.

I went to the junkyard and got a thermal clutch fan from an '85 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. I replaced the clutch itself with the part# for that vehicle and it fits and works great.

The large wiring connector over the passenger valve cover has been burned and heat damaged on every A-body I've seen, so I wouldn't do anything to add a load to it. Best idea is to bypass the portion of the charging circuit that runs inside the car so that you can add accessories like your AC...

It is way too close. But that may be because the radiator is thicker than what normally is found on a Slant car. The problem with attempting to use the factory stuff is that slant's got a fixed, 4-blade fan that mounts using a spacer about 2-1/2" thick. That'll never go in that space you...

You'll probably be better off BUYING a used factory shroud, unless the quality problems with those aftermarket versions have been eliminated. That's not any special fan shroud, they were used on plenty of 318 and some Slant Six cars, so don't fund someone's retirement for one.

Try the standard duty clutch. Just make SURE that you buy the thermal style, not non-thermal. The non-thermal is essentially partially locked up all the time, so you will only increase the noise. Somewhere, maybe on Hayden's website, there is an explanation of the difference between standard...

You can't just put a belt on it in every case. FWD Camry's used those with a transverse engine.

Oh boy. Not the water pump debate again. If most of you were blindfolded while someone changed your water pump to a 6-blade, you'd never know the difference, ever. What's "wrong" with some people is they selectively ignore facts such as the impeller falling off, so they can take another...

I guess electric fans have their place, but one of the main reasons people use them is to reduce noise. However, it's difficult, if not impossible, to move a large quantity of air without noise. That's why you hear garbage trucks, semi's, buses etc with extremely loud engine fans...they do the...

Hmmm..that might be a tough one to find if it's a A-body 383 specific part. Best of luck.

In '73 the OSAC valve was in the firewall. In '74 it moved to the aircleaner. In '73 the OSAC valve was in the firewall. In '74 it moved to the aircleaner. In '73 the OSAC valve was in the firewall. In '74 it moved to the aircleaner. In '73 the OSAC valve was in the firewall. In '74 it...

Then the questioner needs pictures of a correct arrangement for his compressor. Perhaps you could dig some up for him while the question is open.

Factory service manual contains everything you ever want to know about the air conditioning and every other system. Money well spent.

I've not had a Mopar yet that I found to be more enjoyable sitting in 100 degree heat with sweat running out of my *** crack onto the seat. I seriously believe guys view non-working AC systems as a personal threat to themselves in some fashion and that's why they remove them. Maybe they think...

I bet there is an undersized or clogged radiator behind all this. The rule of thumb is that overheating at idle is nearly always airflow related, while overheating at highway speed is a capacity problem. You seem to have some of both. What radiator is in there? Even with stock smallblocks...

The only thing using a lower pressure cap might do is reduce the boiling point and possibly save marginal tubes from exploding. Seems to me a guy in the radiator repair business would WANT the radiator to explode so he could then repair it. Here's the type of cap a '73 Dart or Duster came with...

On a non-AC car there is no heater valve. The coolant circulates through the core all the time and the blend door serves to shut off the flow of hot air. Not sure what you got going with your heater control panel. Does it simply say: OFF HEAT DEFROST...

Hey Gary: Sorry that you've discovered that there clearly aren't many rocket scientists here that know jack about HVAC vacuum lines on these cars. I myself am not a rocket scientist nor a amateur comedian honing my skills, but I helped another member out with this topic a while back, seen...
