I just pulled out the factory tach to clean it up and adapt the solid circuit update board. I noticed the terminal on the back (on the right in the photo) does not have an insulator type washer on it like the terminal on the left has. Does that mean it is missing the washer or was it never...

Re: '65 Formula S, I was trying to figure out if the one fastener that is not one of the other 9 clips that is rather a stud and nut would be attached from the factory on the rear near the tail light or up front by the door? So I looked at my '65 Valiant Signet convertible which has a similar...

About ten minutes ago my Doberman (on leash as always) and I were out for our evening walk. We were attacked by two dogs in El Centenario on Calle Cuarta between Palo Fierro and Cardon (We live in Mexico near La Paz the finish line of the Baja 1000). This is about the fourth time now in the last...

I raised the front of the '65 Signet convertible (jack stands placed) to find where the slack in the front suspension was coming from underneath (looks like an idler arm nut came loose at first glance). At the same time, I greased all the zerk fittings (they were all present and accounted for...

Back when I was studying Auto Tech at community college (circa 1973) I don't recall seeing a point set with the condenser and points as an integrated unit. I was sold these set as being compatible with our '65 Abodies. However, now that I take a second look at it, I wonder if there should be a...

Part nos. mopar 2527936 & 37. Thank you.

Drove the Valiant from its purchase point of Port Angelis (state of Washington) to La Paz, BCS, Mexico (with a stop of several years in California) without having had even a flat tire (2,250 miles). Since then, only an occaisonal 20 mile round trip to an annual local car show. However, during...

Forum member "grimreaper" posted this data on an old thread. I understand the '65 Barracuda Formula S had stiffer torsion bars than the standard Barracuda. I wonder which bars the Formula S was equipped with? My formula S with the 273 Commando has (had) factory A/C if that makes a difference...

Don't know if the zerk fittings I found on the front suspension of my 1996 Dodge Dakota were factory installed or are the result of aftermarket replacement components. Any way, my Autozone purchased grease gun (pistol grip) never seemed to work right until I watched a video on how to refill it...

New six gallon Dewalt air compressor from Home Depot included some "free" cheap axx accessories. When I tightened the hose adaptor fitting into the nozzle for the first time, the pot metal split open. The nozzle weighs about the same as a hummingbird feather.

I posted an ABody for sale on October 20, 2023 and it had not sold yet. Can forum members still find my add after all this time? Thank you.

I just posted a seven year old, 17 foot RV trailer for sale on facebook marketplace. Ten minutes later I rv'd my first so-called response: "Is this still available?. Well, duh, I just posted it minutes ago! I heard somewhere awhile back that responses like that are not genuine, although I don't...

Don't know for sure what it had from the factory, but a previous owner installed an 8 3/4 open rear end (489 case) in my '65 Formula S automatic. (did you notice the big dent in the lower part of the center rear?).

Was chatting on "Whatsapp" with a young lady who is a graduate of Florida State University who majored in "monetary finance". For some reason, still to be determined, she looked me up on a website Expat.com When she told me she had purchased an AMG for herself, I had no idea what kind of car...

I noticed awhile ago when I pressed the power brake pedal on the '65 Formula S that the idle speed would change. Then I noticed the idle speed was not changing when pressing on the brake, but the idle was then rough and the power brake assist was no longer available. Took an extreme effort...

In our '65 Valiant Signet convertible 273 Auto, the speedo works and the tenths on the odometer move like they should. However, the tenths never move the next mile digit so the mileage always stays the same. I removed the speedo and can't see anything wrong from the outside. I doubt there is...

A little pricey. Engine Factory 318 Mopar Engine 350 Horsepower 400 Torque |

Just starting looking into the aftermarket. I thought my first "hit" would work, but "fine" print states only for converting manual brake vehicles to power/dual master cylinder (see link below). I have factory power brakes on my '65 Formula S so I need to keep looking. Any experience out there...

Empty glass jar of honey with metal lid. Inserted two tire valves (one retains the inner valve) and one soldering iron. Inside is a cotton sock soaked in mineral oil. A bicycle pump is connected to the tire valve with the inner valve still retained. The other tire valve is open to the air and is...

I wonder what my '65 window sticker would have looked like? Please post if you have the original. Thank you.

My spare plastic gasoline containers always seem to leak when adding fuel to our '65 ABodies. Today I decided to think ahead and tape the area off first. Wouldn't you know it, first time I added from the 5 gallon plastic can and not a drop spilled out from the spout area of the can or from the...

Purchased this "kit" at the local ACE Hardware store. Saved the day when I wanted to finish painting inside an inaccessible area on our double steel metal driveway gates. I just made sure to add more thinner than usual to the black oil based metal paint. The duration of the spray cartridge was...

Putting together a fact sheet for my '65 Formula S and need to add the original cost of the factory A/C option. Anyone know? Thank you!

Saw Ford Mustangs and Mercury Cougars coming down the same assembly line circa 1967. The assembly plant is now "The Great Mall of the Bay Area". Anyone else tour an assembly plant back then?

I would like to know if a company manufactures (or anyone clever has fabricated) a way to piggyback onto an old style glass fuse? I just want to tap into the instrument/dash panel illumination so that my aftermarket oil pressure gauge can be read after dark. I just don't like splicing into...

I have low beam, but when pressing the floor switch for high beam the headlights go out and the ammeter goes to full discharge. I wonder where the first place to look would be? Thank you.
