    Headlight cover motor - 300

    Most of the time you can take some fine sandpaper and clean the contacts if needed, then it is a matter of checking the switch as the gear is rotated using the manual knob to see if the points align properly and open and close when they are supposed to. Dave

    Headlight cover motor - 300

    There is a switch plate inside the motor gear cover. (Swith is under the cover for the square hole for the operating rod) The cam on the gear is supposed to open the switch contacts to stop the motor once the doors are closed. Usually your condition will be caused by damage to the switch. If...

    I have a 1966 fury ...I can NOT move the steering wheel

    On a power steering equipped car, the Pump may be bad or the spool valve on the steering gear could be stuck. Have a helper attempt to turn the steering wheel with the car running, if the pulley for the PS stops, the belt is too loose. Sometimes the inner lining of the high pressure hose can...

    Has the RV2 compressor an oil pump?

    You would want to stay with the o-ring seal as the square ones are prone to leaking. As noted, the green o-rings are an off the shelf item, the green color designates them as a high density unit suitable for low density vapor sealing. I would think that they should be readily available at any...

    Steering wheel wants to turn right while idling, steering gear adustment or front-end alignment?

    The top of the steering gear has a valve body (Pressure assist valve/spool valve) that is held in place by two bolts. The bolt holes on the valve body are slotted so that the valve body can be moved up or down. Moving the valve body will correct the self turning of the steering wheel, this...

    Rear A/C for 1969 T&C Wagon - Dealer Ad on Option and Use of R290 Refrigerant

    R-290 is propane. It is an effective refrigerant but it is also flammable. It would be important to be sure the system is leak free. The factory compressor should survive with R-290. The front evaporator on most Mopars is pretty durable, they usually did not leak unless there was rodent...

    Are these rockers useable?

    Mopar rockers are pretty forgiving, you should be able to reuse them. I suspect that the stamping on some of them are probably because they are aftermarket units, mopar usually did not mark stock ones. Dave

    '48 Crown Imp Limo - hyd. windows line leak and oil pressure line leak

    I would take the leaking power window line to a good hydraulic shop and have a new one fabricated, probably would want to do all of them while you are at it as that system was prone to leaks even when relatively new. You can probably have the other line fabricated on the engine as well if it is...

    A/C Compressor RPM Limit?

    RV2 compressor will probably no be able to handle 5000 RPMS. They do not do well on R-134a to start with and adding extra RPMs is a self destruct waiting to happen. Some cop cars with the pursuit option had an extra toggle switch to disengage the compressor for extended full throttle...
