Thanks a ton. Exactly what I needed to know.

Thanks again to everyone for the helpful info. Even though I probably could have removed and replaced the seals from above, I decided to go ahead and drop the valve body. Seemed to be the better way to do it. One last stupid question...there is a metal flange surrounding the mating surfaces of...

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks to everyone for the helpful comments. Fortunately, room to work shouldn't be an issue for me because I am in the middle of a complete mechanical overhaul of the car ('73 Valiant slant 6). The short block and trans are still in the car, but everything that would normally be in the way is...

So I think I already know the answer, but since this is the first time I've gone inside an automatic trans beyond a fluid and filter change, I want to be sure I do it correctly. I have a 904 that is leaking fluid around the shift lever rod. I have the new seal and it would appear at first glance...

These came off the '73 Plymouth Valiant pictured. I decided on a different vibe and replaced them with 15" cop wheels and caps. But dang the car looked nice with them on. 14x7 front, 3” backspace 14x8 rear, 3” backspace McClaren wide track radials ER70-14 front 245/60 R14 rear. The wheels are...

I did not consider that, but it makes sense. :thumbsup:

Drilled these this morning. Final hole size is 5/32".

@gtgto said: "What did you do for the mounting holes. I had installed an overlay years ago and totally screwed up the holes but its a lot better than it was and hardly noticeable unless I point it out to you. The material was very brittle when new. Let me know so my next attempt goes better than...

So I won't be much help because I have never tried to remove one. I would think some heat (within reason) would be what I would try first. But then again, I'd likely just apply the new over the old using the tape I linked to above. Good luck. :thumbsup:

I don't know for sure because I've never needed one (don't have any console cars), but I would be shocked if they didn't. Check out their website linked above. The search function is pretty decent compared to the garbage engine on most other websites. Good luck.

I also have two tutorials posted covering rallye dash removal and rehab (Link 1) and (Link 2), and one covering how to build your own IVR (Link 3). And my latest thread covers dash overlays. If you decide you'd like an IVR from me, check out this post. Been there, done all of it. Many times...

I just finished a cosmetic overhaul of a rallye dash bezel out of a '67 Dart that am installing in my '71 Duster 340 4-speed. The bezel that I bought was nice, but all the colors were wrong and it had a DODGE exterior emblem mounted to the glove box trim piece. The linked video does not capture...

As an added note, the reason I am removing the cluster again is explained in comment#16 of this thread. Cheers.

The article Project Notes from a Rallye Dash Overhaul including Gauges, LED Lighting Upgrade, & RetroSound Stereo Installation in a '71 Duster 340 4-speed AC car has been updated: **UPDATED 7/16/24 with a link to a time-lapse video publicly posted to my YouTube channel that I made at 5 am this...

Good Morning FABO. The new workstation got a tryout in the wee hours this morning, as I built a pair for shipment to the United Kingdom for @v8dve. I also built a single to have on hand just to close out one of my components containers. So if you need one or a few, hit me up. The workstation...

NOW the level-up of the workstation in the sweatshop is complete with proper lighting and accoutrements. Yes, I am still trying to hand-off the lion's share of this project to others, but since I'm so much better equipped now, it seems a shame to not build more of my own. PM me if you need one...

Just another reminder to all that if you would like a color PDF copy of the latest iteration of my instructions that include an alternative to opening and modifying the fuel gauge, just PM me your email address. Happy Monday everyone.

Nice work and a great idea to "remote" the IVR for easy replacement without having to remove the cluster in the event of a (rare) failure. I recommend the same thing in the instructions that I supply with my IVRs. Just another reminder to all that if you would like a color PDF copy of the latest...

It won't be that way for long, trust me. And as for #2, I've been in a weird cycle of going to bed too early and getting up the same. Part of it is the work schedule I've chosen for myself, but the rest is likely normal "old man with way too many things going on syndrome". Thanks for your...

I have levelled-up the workstation in the sweat shop. :thumbsup: It's almost like I am gearing up for another round of building them instead of trying to pass the torch to someone else lol. I've also updated the instructions that I send along with the IVRs I build. If you'd like a color PDF...

Nice looking installation! Glad I caught you before you did the '67, so now you have options. Good luck with that one and let me know if you have questions.

The cap is to filter the input power from the vehicle. Most of the time you'd be fine without it. There are other "protections" that could be built into the device, but mine, like yours, was designed to be simple yet still effective. Electrolytic caps cost fractions of a penny and they don't...

You can build your own for almost pennies if you are somewhat electronically inclined. Heck, I'd even send you the components for whatever they cost me (very little on a single-part basis because I buy them in quantities) and what it would cost me to send them to you. I'm not doing this to make...

Yes, it should work in any Mopar application that uses a factory IVR to supply a reduced voltage to the gauges, which is pretty much all of them in our world. Some installations are simpler than others (replacing the plug-in style being the simpler), but I can walk almost anyone through how to...

If you have not read comments #4 and #5 above, please do and you will understand why I am doing this... I have updated the instructions that I provide with the IVRs that I build to now include an alternative installation method. You can choose which method works for you, but the new alternative...

So it does not seem like anyone gives much of a rip about this thread or my comments, which is fine because I often post things no one cares about during my early morning gauge rehab sessions, lol. But seriously, this one is pretty important, especially for those who have not modified their fuel...

Here is a cautionary tale illustrated with a few pictures for any of you who still need to modify your very delicate 50+ year-old rallye fuel gauges to replace the IVR. The moral of the story is please don't attempt the modification at 3 am on a workday when you've had trouble sleeping the night...

That is one sweet looking Barracuda. Absolutely love it. I assume it is GG1, which is the color my '67 was born with. I will never forgive the previous owner who covered it with the (amazing at 10') non-Mopar purplish-blue metallic that was apparently applied by a 6 year-old. It is the absolute...

Here is the sum total of what I accomplished during the first weekend of the project: Neatly organized all the parts on the pool table. And I just finally got the damn thing cleared off after being covered in other parts and my wife's pottery (she is a ceramic artist) for over a year, lol. I...
