    '69 Dart "where does it go" question...

    Hey guys: I am reassembling the dash on my Dart after I restored it and I'm having a memory lapse. I know WHAT this thing is...it's the support for the driver-side defroster hose, but I can't recall where it attaches to whatever it attaches to. All I remember is it was somewhere to the left...

    Are there parts to repair the heater control panel MECHANISM?

    Hey guys, again: I've been slogging through projects on a '68 Valiant I bought over the summer, and one thing that has me at a temporary standstill is the heater control panel. I am referring specifically about the unit mounted in the dash of the car that has 2 sliders and one fan switch. Not...

    Late-style SB thermostat housing...those dimples

    Hey guys: Before I decide that I'm smarter than the Chrysler engineers that designed them and take measures to mitigate them, why is there a dimple on each end of the later style "tin" thermostat housing? I had to replace the original on one of my engines and it had them. The replacement also...

    All these short fan clutch topics...

    Made me think that I had a factory Mopar skinny viscous clutch/fan combo somewhere, so I went looking for it. Sure enough, this is from a 1980 slant six Diplomat with A/C . The fan is 18", the clutch is 2.90" flange to front edge of thermo coil, and the fan blades are about 2.70" inches thick...

    Let's talk about fixed-blade fans

    Hey guys: My '71 Valiant is finished and I have been enjoying it. But, I think I am doing something wrong with the fan/fan shroud situation. I am using a new 22" radiator and fixed fan(no clutch). I started out with no shroud at all, because I don't have one of those "rare" 22" shrouds...

    Valiant warming up at slow speeds and idle

    Hey guys: Got the carb issues all squared away with my '71 Plymouth, and been driving it and enjoying. I'm starting to have a slow speed cooling issue which I know the cause of. I just need to solicit some curative ideas. At cruise speeds (65-70mph, and beyond:smile:) it's fine, runs about...

    Differences in early and late AC systems?

    Hey guys: I wonder if someone could tell me if there are substantial differences in the early 70s factory air conditioning systems, and the system found on my '75. My '75 has a different arrangement of lines and the receiver? mounted on the inner fender compared with earlier cars I've seen...

    SL6 radiator married to 318, can it be done...

    Hey guys: Back with another unusual question... I'm moving along with my '71 Valiant project and I encountered something else I wasn't expecting. This is a Slant car converted to a V8 using all factory parts from another car. My issue is, I have a good six cylinder radiator that I would...

    A/C- equipped heater core removal the Chrysler way

    I had to replace the heater core in my 1975 Duster recently, and I thought I would share the procedure as outlined in the 1975 Chrysler service manual: First off, I have read on here how much of a pain this is to do, because you must discharge the AC and remove the entire HVAC unit from under...
