    318 4-barrel from the factory?

Originally used in 1973-1974 on 340 (73), 360 high performance (74), 400 high performance, and 440 high performance. Except for earlier export versions, the 318...

    Remember when?

    American Bricks. I had and preferred these to the fledgling Legos in the 60s: I still have some, but these are not the same as my originals in the 60s: That picture was taken today in my "Toy Room", which houses a lot, but not all, of my toys scattered all over my place. Some are vintage...

    Some Tips For Rebuilding a Thermo-Quad Carburetor

    My truck was a semi-daily and full time weekend driver doing a lot of hauling and towing. Another vehicle was a daily for seven years, but then semi-retired. Some of the others were daily drivers in each one's turn, but shifted to hobby use, and were rebuilt at some point after that, or swapped...

    Some Tips For Rebuilding a Thermo-Quad Carburetor

    The early rubber components can be attacked by the ethanol in E10 gasoline, especially if the carburetor sits inactive a lot. The same happens for fuel pump diaphragms and rubber hoses, although usually to a lesser extent. The o-rings or x-rings that seal the jets to the upper body are the most...

    Some Tips For Rebuilding a Thermo-Quad Carburetor

    Some Tips For Rebuilding a Thermo-Quad Carburetor Notes: This is not a rebuild procedure, but tips for the rebuild work. The tips are loosely in order of rebuild steps. The following assumes the carburetor is complete, off the vehicle, and still assembled. Carburetors with heavy corrosion or...

    The Vaanth Thermo-Quad Guide, re-written and updated.

    Hello, When I joined in September last year, and introduced myself in the Welcome Wagon forum, I mentioned my updated Thermo-Quad guide. I wanted to add it to a fuel system related forum as an FYI, and this is the closest here on FCBO. I also posted a similar message earlier on FABO, FBBO, and...

    Electronic Ignition , Goop leaking out

    After I wrote up the power supply and voltmeter method for bench testing electronic voltage regulators, I remembered a simpler method. If available, use the Chrysler tool for it, Miller C-4133 Voltage Regulator Tester. I forgot that I have one: The procedure for the tests is outlined in the...

    Alternator question

    This is an old thread, but I'll add some to it... In sum, the "square back" alternator was introduced as standard on all 1972 models. From the 1972 Service Highlights: Some additional, broader, general information from a post I wrote for Moparts: The Chrysler designed aluminum housing...

    Electronic Ignition , Goop leaking out

    I have the C-4166-A tester. It tests 4-pin ECUs okay, but the Ballast Auxiliary Circuit light will indicate a fault, because the fifth pin for that is not there. The earlier C-4166 without the C-4166-1 adapter might not test correctly, but I have not used one of those. I haven't even used mine...

    Electronic Ignition , Goop leaking out

    Supplementing what's already been noted, the material you see is a potting compound. It is not melting, but is slowly breaking down and oozing out. Potting compound has been used for decades in electronics to seal for environmental protection against moisture, debris, etc. and movement of...

    Body Bumper Kit

    The parking brake lever bumper looks similar in cross section to the clutch pedal stop bumper, but it is heavier with a much thicker pad. Chrysler part number for the 1968 C-body bumper is 2467515. The installed park brake lever bumper can be seen in the following image. This is from one of my...

    Body Bumper Kit

    The rubber part in the image is the clutch pedal upper stop bumper. Chrysler number is 1940147 for C-bodies. It was also used on some power steering pump brackets, 1960-1968. A/B/E-bodies plus light duty trucks used a similar bumper, Chrysler part number 2266820.

    Driveshaft for '68 Fury (2-piece / bushing ?)

    Chrysler introduced the Internal Vibration Absorber (IVA) propeller shaft (aka drive shaft) for certain applications for the 1966 model year. Applications were determined through Noise/Vibration/Harshness (NVH) studies. Two approaches include the addition of the inertia ring at the front of the...

    Wholesaler closeout steering box at Rock Auto.

    I ordered and received one of these. It is a new, never mounted unit, but it might not be made by Lares. It looks similar. It was shipped by FedEx (which in itself can be an issue) inside its original box, sitting inside a RockAuto box, with some plastic air pillows as packing. These pillows...

    Wholesaler closeout steering box at Rock Auto.

    Cardone 27-6542 has a 1-1/4" sector shaft. The image shown on Rock Auto is the same as the image shown on Cardone's site. The number apparently was used for an actual Chrysler steering gear in the past. It does look like the Lares 11031. If purchasing, use Rock Auto's discount code to save a...
