Separate names with a comma.
Sounds like my experience with my 1985 M-B diesel car. I happened to crank the engine while I had the dash cluster pulled out and saw smoke...
When adding up, try to find "running current". I suspect many spec's such as radiator fans are for starting current, which drops greatly after...
A good reason not to use those early Chrysler ignition systems. Anything that uses a ballast resistor is old tech and adds those issues. That...
Good info. People fret too much over factory belts. Long ago, I downloaded a belt catalog (Gates, Goodyear, forget). For V-belts, there are 3...
Yes, you should feel it. Do you need one? Starts arguments. People have long said the hose can collapse from water pump suction at high rpm,...
Bouchillon Performance also sells Sanden AC brackets for the small-block, but check years. Probably the main difference in 1966 was the thinner...
I went thru this in reverse on my 1965 Dart 273. Like you, the radiator and water pumps were confusing and I was a neophyte then trying to source...
I vaguely remember a thick aluminum plate on one of my Mopars. It had a slot at the bottom to drain any brake fluid that leaks past the MC...
Yes, I used that recently on my 1964 Valiant slant-six, bought on ebay. I had a new speedo cable which supposedly fit, but wrong fitting at the...
dibbons, The H.P. hose port is an "outlet", not "enters the pump". A 1965 should have the TRW power steering pump. As I recall, the port is a...
Don't all Early A centerlinks have a drop, whether slant six or V-8? My 1964 slant has a drop, but not as much as for a V-8 so it won't clear a...
Seems none of the adapter mounts discussed are for an Early A, so why is this post in the Early A forum?
Strangely, the square-back alternators in my 1982 Dodge Aries 2.5L would fail the diodes regularly. Only the 3 diodes on the rail hanging in the...
Yes, two of my A's have those, and my C-body. I term them "bulkhead buss-bars", used to feed-thru the high ALT and BAT wires. They were used...
Thanks for posting. I did my 1964 Valiant recently, with factory heat-only box. The duct tubes are different sizes on each end, so hard to...
Strange, since "no power steering" should give more space. It likely has to do with the pulleys and belt alignments, since I doubt their bracket...
It appears the 1970 Duster had a 1966-67 engine and matching transmission. Try reading the casting# on the block and compare to a list floating...
I wish that changing to a hydraulic camshaft was easy in a slant. If so, I might change my 1964 225 to hydraulic so I could use Rhoads leak-down...
I kept careful notes on my 1969 Dart 225 which I owned 1976 until 1994 (stolen). I got 22 mpg highway, but the speed limit was 55 mph back then....
Just so you know. I think you must slide the lower control arm back to remove the strut rod. That requires removing the wire clip at the rear of...
The old cast-iron ones always leak from the stamped-steel covers. That is why every used old Mopar in the junkyard has a rusty firewall around...
I rebuilt the TRW pump in my 1965 Dart 273. My 1965 Newport 383 also uses one, but differs. Both have 2 bolts on the rear, so strange that your...
Yes, 1973+ ball joints have larger bolt holes which match the spindle.
If you do end up removing the steering box to disassemble and replace rubber parts, the one trick I didn't know when I first tried it is that you...
My 1996 Plymouth 2.4L has the same distributor-less coil-pack system, termed "wasted-spark" since 2 cyl share a coil. The factory spec was 60 mil...
Any system with a ballast resistor is older tech and not as good a spark or reliability. I put an 8-pin HEI module in my 1964 Slant 225, with a...
Sorry, just skimmed prior posts. If you run a bypass from ALT output to BATT+ as many do, your dash ammeter needle may still move, from the...
The megasquirt site has much info on various GM HEI modules, Ford TFI, and such.
I recall a youtube which does more exacting tests, of points, HEI 4-pin, and GM LS coils, I recall. He videos in the dark and such. The LS coil...
Yes, the AC firewall is much different, at least in my 1965 Dart. A few people cut out most of the firewall to weld in an AC firewall, but seems...
