    [SOLD] Edelbrock Performer 318-360 Intake FS

    I ran this on the 318 in my '89 D-100. It worked well; I kept it and put the OE intake back on when I sold the truck. That was ten years ago, so pretty good odds someone else will do a better job than me of using it. The top edge of the plenum divider has been "sharpened" (see photo); the reason...

    [FOR SALE] Scarce underhood decals FS (Chryco, Valiant, Mopar Parts…)

    Oh, cool! No, not me, that looks to have been Ed Dreistadt, who goes way-way back in the Slant-6 hobby.

    [FOR SALE] Scarce underhood decals FS (Chryco, Valiant, Mopar Parts…)

    Well…h'mm. Years ago I had one of those Super Six air cleaner lid clocks, and I sent it to someone, but I don't remember whom. Same goes for a large amount of literature.

    [FOR SALE] Scarce underhood decals FS (Chryco, Valiant, Mopar Parts…)

    The coolant decal is correct for a '66 Canadian A-, B-, or C-body, truck, or van. The air cleaner decal is correct in every respect if your '66 C-body has a 225 engine; if not, the part numbers on it aren't correct, but all other details are.

    [FOR SALE] Scarce underhood decals FS (Chryco, Valiant, Mopar Parts…)

    "Can't find it? Make it!" So I did. The "Valiant" decal (7" × 1½") was factory installed on early-production '60 Valiants, sometimes on the valve cover and sometimes on the air cleaner; see below. Goes great on a Valiant of any year. The "Mopar Parts" decal with the Flookerang (Forward Look...

    68 Dart turn signal switch

    Yup. The '64-up terminal is this one. Bout $11 gets you 20 of them, so you have enough to munge a few up and still get the project done.

    68 Dart turn signal switch

    Wish I could help, but I'm out of '64-up switches with no ETA. I have a couple of '62-'63 switches left (same switch, just different style of terminal on the ends of the wires).

    Pipe dope on my temperature sending unit. Is this okay?

    I did, since we're talking about temperature gauge senders and that's the kind of thread they use.

    Vintage Mopar Dealership Pictures

    Holy wah! $3,787 down from $5,197.50‽ That's a steep discount, equivalent to $30,810 instead of $42,285 in 2024 dollars. Evidently those cars just really, really mostly didn't sell.

    Vintage Mopar Dealership Pictures

    No, it's a retroreflector ("reflex reflector", or just "reflector"). The ones built into the taillights were too small, too dim, and too high above the road surface to meet local regs. Rear fog lamps were not yet required equipment in Europe (nor even very common) when '68 Baccarudas were in...

    Pipe dope on my temperature sending unit. Is this okay?

    Dryseal threads are not quite the same thing as NPT. Related, similar, compatible, but not the same.

    Pipe dope on my temperature sending unit. Is this okay?

    No. It might or might not completely block the electrical connection needed between the sender and the head, but it's not at all needed or beneficial. It's brass; it's not going to seize; number one. Number two, those are dryseal threads, designed to create a leak-free seal when assembled...

    Looking for correct bulbs for 1965 Plymouth Valiant 200 for Instrument Cluster

    158 is the old short-life version of 194. 158: 3.4w, 2 candlepower, 500 hours 194: 3.8w, 2 candlepower, 2500 hours The '65 I owned, and I'm pretty sure all the '65s I took apart over the years, used the metal bayonet-base bulbs (53, 53x, 57, 1891, 1893, 1895…) in the dashboard. '66s definitely...

    Amp gauge shunt

    Strongly unrecommend the hacky "fix" proposed by the MAD Electrical clowns; you can do a much better, safer job of it—see here. Link also contains info on adding an external shunt so you can keep your ammeter but without running high current into/out of the dashboard.

    Hardened valve seats - do they really matter?

    People don't realize this because it isn't so. The mechanism behind valve seat recession is well understood, and it's nothing to do with a lack of air filtration (which will do a job on the rings long before it has any effect on the valves). Seat recession happens because above a critical...

    1 bbl holley carb. rebuild piece missing?????

    Without the baffle, the car will want to stall on hard left turns and there'll be other driveability plagues—all of which the baffle helps with, but doesn't eliminate. All Holley 1920s were built with that baffle, so someone ought to have one for you somewhere.

    New OER turn signal switch problem

    Classic Industries is a garbage company selling garbage parts. "OER" is a fraudulent bit of branding/marketing; it's supposed to stand for "original equipment replacement". I am out of '64+ switches and down to my last couple of '62-'63 switches. Same switch, just different style of terminal...
