But have you not heard the Good News? It's permanently 1981! Showroom-perfect low-miles Darts and Valiants can be picked up for $2,000, any parts you might need are in stock at any parts store or dealer, the wrecking yards are full of dirt-cheap used parts, and it's going to stay that way for...

Donno where to send you instead, but Classic Industries is a garbage company selling garbage parts at LOLROFL prices. They're on my always-avoid list.

You can get the vehicle build record from Chrysler by sending in this application with acceptable proof of ownership. That's unless your luck is bad and they don't have the record for your car, but they do have most pre-68 records.

1302207704 1: Valiant 3: V-200 0: 1960 2: Dodge Assembly Plant, Detroit (maybe actually Hamtramck?) 207704: Serial number (first SN of cars like this was 100001, so this is the 107,703rd 1960 Valiant V-200 built at that plant) That's all the info obtainable from the vehicle number.

Jeebus. Every time I go look at Allpar, the new owners have fwocked it up worse and worse. That article (second link) used to have big, relevant pics, now it's a jumbled mess of miniature randoms. Here's the original version off the internet archive. It'll be a little slow to load, but a lot...

See here and here and here.

Look up ↑there↑ at post № 5.

No, sir. Running max allowable pressure amounts to functionally overinflating the tires, and the result will be much faster and worse wear in the middle of the tread. OP, if you want to be scientific about it, use chalk. If you can't be arsed, pick your favourite number between 32 and 35 and...

Confirmed, used one on my '62 Lancer.

»bows, doffs cap« I'm not qualified to diagnose, but this schlemiel's behaviour looks like that of someone on the autism spectrum. Autists' behaviour can be annoying and tiresome, but they're not deliberately trying to be that way; it's not in their control any more than my need for eyeglasses...

We are the robots: J-C-C is the sea lion. I am the walrus; goo-goo-g'choob.

Well, aaaaaaaactually, we'd have to have a divide between '67 and '68 (steering linkage, steering column, side marker lights, head restraints, shoulder belts, crankshaft counterbore/torque converter nose diameter, speedometer cable and drive pinion…). We'd have to take account of the difference...

Look, look! It's a Sea lion, right here on FABO!

Who's up for a good old-fashioned Block Party?

A funny thing about arguments: the lower the stakes, the harder some people wanna quarrel. Careful what you wish for; my consulting rates might make you develop sharp pains in the wallet.

By jove, he's got it! Exactly. Your suggestion was rejected. The end.

I see, and what do you take it to mean? Well, let's consult the dictionary. _______________ sug·ges·tion /səˈjesCHən, səɡˈjesCHən/ noun, suggestion; plural noun, suggestions :an idea or plan put forward for consideration _______________ Huh. I don't see anything in there about you make a...

You issued a challenge to list non-powertrain parts shared across the '62/'63 line. I did so. That's all; that's done. …my god, man! This could upend the whole, entire history of the Chrysler A-body as we know it! It stands to radically change how these cars are discussed on forums like this...

Why?

Okeh, here y'go, the left hand giveth: You're right. The '60-'62 cars are different in a lot of ways to the '63-'66 cars, which in turn are different in a lot of ways to the cars made after '66. There; y'been heard. Feel better now? Good. Hang onto that, because now the right hand taketh away...

Well, h'mm. No powertrain parts? Okeh: Door locks and keys° · Trunk lock and key° · Trunk mat · Gas cap · Armrests* · Sunvisors · Ignition switch · Ignition lock and key · Headlight switch · Wiper switch · Door surround windlace and weather seal · Trunk seal · Windshield and backglass lockstrip...

Fer sher, fer sher!

Yeah, that's the reason they put out to the public. In fact, they bought all those Teslas in the first place as a means of securities manipulation. It was a shell game right from the start. Related: Tesla's main business isn't selling cars, it's selling emissions credits.

…which, of course, is why the average age of a car on American roads in 1979 was 5.7 years, and that was up from 5.1 years in 1969. The 2013 figure was 11.4 years, that is just about double the 1979 figure. It hit 11.7 years in 2017, and the 2021 figure is 12.1 years. That’s the average age...

…were the last decent sealed beams on the market, up until about 2017 or so when GE ended US production of sealed beams, scrapped all the tooling and machinery, and went to sourcing utter garbage from China.

That company died in the early 1980s in the big financial re-org (remember the New Chrysler Corporation? They didn't make any Hemi Chargers, either!) And then it died again, for realz, in 1998 when Tom Stallkamp sold (oops, scuze me, "merged") Chrysler to Daimler. Chrysler hasn't been a...

Or if you actually want to be smarter than the av-er-age bear and see safely at night—and have legitimate headlamps in your car so if worse comes to worst and you get in a crash, you don't wind up in another world of hurt when the other side's lawyers discover you had Holley's headlite-shaped...

Depends how good a job you want to do.

Yes, that is the case. (1) Disconnect center link from steering gear arm. (2) Start engine and run at idle speed. (3) Turn steering wheel gently from one stop to the other, counting number of turns. Then turn wheel back exactly halfway, to center position. (4) Loosen adjusting screw until...
