Hi. I'm coming to Carlisle next week, never missed a Chrysler @ Carlisle except for 1 year of the covid bullshit. Been a mopar guy for 60 years, time flies. I'm cleaning out my inventory a little. I have 6 distibutors you might be interested in: 1 IBS4015A 1968 340 dual point; 3 2875783 1969 340...
A lip type seal will never work on a chrysler crankshaft with those fine angle serrations on the seal surface. You have to use a rope type seal. The best one out there is made by best gasket pt#5297. made in the USA. Mancini Racing has them. I have 15 or 20 on customer's cars and they work. Only...
Thanks for the kind comments. MCACN is a great show put on by great people, I've been trailering friends cars there for 8 years or so. first time I've had one of my own there. It's the place to go to see all the cars we drooled over in the 50s & 60s
You didn't by chance forget the bolt behind the heater hose nipple, you have to take it out with an open end wrench as the pump housing comes off. then the bolt stays in the housing. Because that nipple ain't comin out after being in there for 50 years
I have a 65 and a 66 300, both had that dam drone, both have TTI exhaust. I put Vibrant brand short bottle style resonators on both. The drone is cut by 70% and still has a nice sound. On the 66 they are on the tail pipe and on the 65 they are under the front seats, I think the ones under the...
I have a 65 chrysler and a 66. My 66 is away, I'll look on the weekend. I think the left engine mount is farther ahead on a 65 K frame. That looks a lot like my 65. I could be wrong but I'll check.
You could try spraying a lubricant down beside the push buttons, not in the vacuum ports, it may work. Premiumdashdecals.com in Kingston Ont. does a nice job rebuilding those switches. They can 3D print all those little plastic parts and make them work like new. They did a nice job on my 65 and...
In 1972 and maybe even later Chrysler was using 6 pack rods on forged cranks in 440s and they definitely needed external balancing. If the motor has the original front damper it will have a offset weight cast in to it and the torque converter should have 2 small weights totaling 6.5 oz. I think...
That's been one of my favorite music videos for 32 years. I wonder where that car is now? Anybody Know? It must have survived, it looked pretty good in 1990.
I've tried that swap on a 61 and the problem is the ratio on the E brake pedal for a drum brake on a trans is different from the ratio on a E brake diff. That makes it difficult to push the pedal hard enough to hold the car. It will not hold the car on an incline. You would need to mount a lever...
I'm Proud to announce that I'm the new caretaker of Peter(300Rag)'s 1965 Chrysler 300 4 speed conv. We made the deal last November and I drove through Northern Ont. in December to get it. I had been drooling over the pics in his garage for 4 or 5 years, finally decided I'm not gettin any...
Could be your fuel pump pushrod wearing out. Not an uncommon thing to happen to these old big blocks. I've had to replace lots of them. When that wears out the car will start fine and drive around town all day, but will not accelerate or drive fast
