That's a judgement call only you can make. I think you already know once the sixpack is tuned it is a blast and then the nostalgia of having it when you open the hood. :) My sixpack is fun for those reasons. Once mine was tuned it has not required anything for many years. It might come down to...

That is a casting number. The Chrysler part number for it is 03461184 I Did a search at Rock Auto. More Information for RAYBESTOS MC36308 Buyer's Guide : RAYBESTOS MC36308 Master Cylinder DODGE CHARGER 1971-1972 DODGE CORONET 1971-1972 DODGE DART 1971-1972 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA 1971-1972...

You can always go to Amazon and search the Raybestos I posted and see if it will fit your car, I did.

I replaced mine last year, 69 Barracuda with manual 10" drums. This was as close to original I could find. It has the bolt on cover as seen at Summit. Works great! Raybestos MC36221 Professional Grade Brake Master Cylinder

Yes, I have found some obscure parts I was looking for there. National Mo-Parts – Est. 1987

Well George they said the head needs replacement and it's supposed to be a common issue for the 3.6. I'm just baffled and pissed off by the whole scenario.

Update They did another compression and leakdown test with a senior mechanic and the valve is still suspect. So it does need a cylinder head. She has spent about $4,000 Canadian to get to this point. I complained to the shop owner and he's waving the labor charges but the head is still around...

Thanks for all the replies. So far they've replaced two coils, spark plugs, still misfiring cyl #5. Replaced two camshafts, still misfiring cyl #5. I asked them to do a compression test on that cylinder before replacing that head which is the next step. Just waiting for the results before we...

Yes, the camshaft replacement was expensive. I asked if they did a leakdown, he said yes. This is a friend's shop. Ugh..

So the saga continues... the mechanic replaced the camshafts, big $$$. Two days later the engine light comes on again. We scanned the codes and it's a #5 cylinder misfire again. I talked to the shop owner and he tells me it's a bad valve and the head needs replacing now. Now i'm not a mechanic...

Yep saw this stuff at the parts store, very deceptive. It's a copycat of the additive Rislone makes that actually has zinc and phosphorous. Link: Hy-per Lube Engine Oil Supplement with Zinc Treatment | Rislone

I'm not sure since it's been a while for me. I went directly there to get my parts a few years back since it had counter sales. They could be just shipping from a warehouse location instead.

I think you have 3 choices, AMD, Goodmark, or Sherman's. Sometimes it comes down to price and parts availability. Do a forum search for pros and cons of each panel company, there are some threads here..

Sherman's in Detroit is where I got my panels directly from in the past. Their website has changed so not sure if you can still order directly from them. Summit and Jegs are supplying their body parts though.

I got sucked in too. The thread title looked cryptic and headed for a clusterf*ck. lol. Hopefully the O.P. returns soon and clarifies things. Inquiring minds and all that...

Yep.. she's already fixed the oil cooler as well as the thermostat issue they are known for. That engine is a POS in my opinion. Very poor engineering and/or components.

They look for any way out. Yes, it was 5 years or 100K that she just went over. **** class action on Hyundai too, yours turned out well in the end. So far class action for Chrysler is USA only.

Me too. This is her own mess, she wanted that darn van. I'm an innocent bystander. lol.

Good move on the extended warranty. My wife's warranty was over and oil changes were not done at the dealer. She has no recourse.

Ron there is a class action lawsuit about the 3.6. Here's a link for you: Hearing a Ticking Noise? FCA Hit with Class Action Over Alleged 3.6L Pentastar V6 Engine Problems BTW my wife has already replaced the thermostat and had the oil leak issue fixed that are common to these.

Yeah an extended warranty would've helped for sure! I wouldn't even attempt a repair on the new stuff either. The best part was even with all of their high tech equipment in the shop all they got was an error code for cylinder 5 misfire. They still had to use troubleshooting and a compression...

Yep, way too common. Try a google search and you'll see. She did regular oil changes and the recommended oil.

My wife just got bad news her 2016 Caravan that she uses for work has 2 wiped camshafts. It has 105,000 km (65,00 miles) on it. It did not even have the usual loud ticking. It's not going to be cheap. She'll need to bend over for this repair. lol.

Ouch! A car like that will invoke strong emotions one way or the other. I just wish I was the seller, I'd finally be rich without waiting for a lottery win!

I think somebody posted about a car like this. Anyways... Lots of pictures at link. See more on this unique piece of #Mopar history:https://www.mecum.com/lots/562278/1970-plymouth-cuda-440-rapid-transit-show-car/?utm_content=249553459&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&hss_channel=tw-38727113

Thanks Mike! I had one lifter come apart in the engine so I replaced all of them. The pushrods are the same style but oil through. I didn't see enough preload on the old pushrods so got longer lengths after measuring them.

Thanks Doc! Standard type lifters and factory rockers (not adjustable.).

I had to replace the lifters in my car and ordered new pushrods at the same time. I asked for LA style ball ends but got oil through pushrods. It's a stock *69 340 valvetrain. Too much trouble to return them now. I installed them anyways. Been running them for a bit as I don't think it...

Not to hijack but...Interesting about the hiring and training. I worked at two Chrysler plants in Windsor Canada. When I was hired in the 90"s You needed a grade 12 diploma and took two 4 hour days of tests (mostly problem solving and psyche profiling) and had to assemble small parts on the last...

Ouch! lol. * Looks at poll results *. :poke: :)
