    Pair of 1968 300's tag decode

    I used a few different sources to piece together the first tag (the beat-up tag) in this thread, then I plugged in the entire tag here: https://realdash.net/dev/decoders/tag6768.html It seems to have gotten everything right - it didn't know the R5 radio code or the 97 tire code. or the b1...

    Pair of 1968 300's tag decode

    @MoPar~Man , is the decoder you are using more B-body oriented than being a genuine C-body decoder? Might it also be more USA-oriented than Canada-orineted? Just curious, CBODY67

    old and new Thermostat tests with questions

    ...would be preferred over a sudden-open thermostat to prevent "thermal shock" of the metal. BUT fully open at the rated temp. Were these both 180* F units or was the later one 195*F rated? Years ago, it seemed that we believed that the thermostat was fully open at the rated temperature. As...

    Electronic ignition conversion tips

    I used one of the original Mopar Perf electronic ign conversion kits years ago. The best total deal there was as it had the needed factory harnesses to do the deal and look factory. The newer repro kits allegedly have flaky control boxes which can fail often, so a normal replacement control...

    361 5.9l rebuild for 62 Chrysler Newport

    The silver paint trick has been around for decades, even by dealership techs. When looking for pistons, ALWAYS look at the "compression height" of the piston. That is what determines the compression ratio. Going down to 9.2CR might not be 100CR, but not nearly like 8.2CR. In this case, more...

    How to test temp sender and gauge with only a multimeter?

    If the Ford tester is a little out of budget, you really only need a 100 OHM pot, a case and a couple of wires. Use your ohm meter to mark the values. I think I found the pots on Amazon for a couple $$. I had an old non metallic fixture box for the case. Low or empty 74 ohms Med or 1/2 23...

    Ammeter bypass

    Over the shorter-trerm I've been in this forum, there have been many things I never knew about or had heard of mentioned in here. The ammeter bypass is one of them. Never had heard of such instrument panel fires on C-body Chrysler products before. I had heard of the alleged ballast resistor...

    old and new Thermostat tests with questions

    It seems to me that waiting until the coolant temperature reaches 220F is waiting too long. Maybe on newer models that might be acceptable, on our older vehicles it seems too delayed. It also seems that everyone supplying thermostats these days such as Stant or others are actually selling...

    Tips for a young guy? What’s next?

    For the 1980 model year, Chrysler went back to the BBD rather than the Holley 2bbl. BUT the 318 size BBD rather than the 360-size 1.56 throttle bore BBD which 383s had. The 2bbl mounting pad was modified for the smaller throttle bores of the 318-size BBD, though. Ran decent, but with less...
