Not sure where to put this. Apparently theres a steel splash shield on the LH framerail thats supposed to be for the starter motor. My 67 was a slant sux 3 on the tree car. Didnt have one. Not sure if it did at one time, and a prev owner took it off. Then i'm on evilbay and theres a kit by DMT for the fender splash shields one kit has all the seals, and a J shaped seal and states for cars with automatic transmission, and a kit without this J shaped seal and says for cars with manual transmission.
Anybody know what Chryslers intent was for this splash shield? I was thinking for the starter motor, but then again weather it was a stick shift or automatic car the starter would still be in about the same location. If it was for that, it would be listed for both auto and stick. Was it to protect the linkages from getting wet, and then freezing solid in cold weather? If so it wouldent be needed with floor shifted automatics.
Anybody know what it was supposed to be for? My 67 will be a floor shift 4 speed, my sons a floor shift automatic. If i dont need this part, i wont bother picking it up at the junky. If i do need it, i want to grab one before i cant find one at ny junky.
