Caster and camber are not usually related to tire type. TOE-IN is more critical, though, so aim for the minimum spec in that nature. In the few cars I've put radials on (replacing non-radials), we used the normal specs for alignment with good results. Some might recommend going to "max...

How long as that sound been back there? Might just be normal high-mileage wear on the gears. Wheel bearings sound will be different. You can change bearing sound by swaying the car side to side, loading and unloading the affected rear wheel bearing. Get a hand suction pump and change the...

Does the Smith-Corona typewritter come with the car?

What about a feed wire to the ballast resistor? JUST a curious thought. CBODY67

The particular female connectors have a pop-up tang on their topside that locks into a recess in the plastic item. When locked-in, they don't leave. To remove, a thin flat spade tool or similar is inserted on the top edge of the connector (from the connection side) and slid between the...

As far as the trim and such, you can find those in the "Library" section at www.hamtramck-historical.com (might need to input that address manually) in the Color and Trim Guide and in the Dealer Order Guide for other options and such. Follow the prompts to get to the spreadsheet page for the...

Have not looked at my '77 305 that's been on my engine stand since we pulled it out with 525k miles on it. Cam was upgraded at 92k. No issues with the OEM cam and lifters. The reason we swapped it was due to all of the core plugs in the block were leaking coolant. No issues with anything...

If the brakes were self-applying, without foot movement, might that mean the existing brake fluid had become contaminated? Which would be evident with expansion of the rubber diaphram on the bottom of the master cyl top. Just a random thought as you mentioned "self-apply". No more, no less...

Thanks for the reply and information. I KNOW the 1966 Chrysler factory service manual has the carb specs I mentioned, plus illustrations of the idle and main fuel circuits. I would suspect the similar '66 Plymouth FSM would be similar. The jetting on the 440s is richer than the 383 jetting...

^^^^ I have noticed on eBay that identical parts will be listed for seemingly exorbitant prices on many websites and more normal prices on other websites. I never understand how they continue to get their high prices. Or if they are just, as mentioned, re-selling the parts at high prices as...

Yes, Vintage Parts Intl DOES have parts they sell to customers, whether car dealerships or private citizens. I believe they have retail entities on many parts sales websites? The website will not have that seller's name on it, but the parts will ship from Beaver Dam, WI.

Most parts stores and such only carry the current production colors, not the older ones UNLESS they might have been used in lots of years. Might be able to find something close, though. Not all stores have the exact same selection, though. Might try the DupliColor website as they built the...

With respect to metering calibrations, you can look in the FSM for the jet and rod sizes of an OEM carb for your engine. 440s had different jets than 383s did. BUT look at the jet size minus the rod diameter (one diameter for "cruise" and a smaller diameter for "power" sections of the rod). I...

When we were using it at the dealership, to fill in gaps of what had been discontinued, the seller paid a fee to get their obsolete inventory listed. The service was free for the buyer, but we also had to call the selling dealer directly to actually buy the part AND to verify they actually had...

Back when Chrysler and AMC merged, the "Jeep" part numbers were given a "transition" part number by Chrysler, which was an entirely different number sequence. Then, with time, Chrysler issues a "Chrysler" part number for them. Quite a "circus" of sorts for the parts inventory people at the...

The gauge would need to screw onto the exposed threads of the end of the drive axle, at least. Too much trouble . . .

Clay Smith Cams. Logos included a red-headed woodpecker head. On the back of shirts, jackets, and back window decals. Around since the early days of Iskendarian.

What was in the grille was the "SuperLight", or auxiliary "passing beam" light, which could be switched to run off of the normal high-beam foot switch, when the low beams were on. The "floodlight" was a mini-flood with a beam targeted to the ignition switch. With a time delay switch to...

Vintage Parts International Beaver Dam, WI Parts for many OEMs, not just GM, although many times GM Parts puts their phone number by a parts listing. The other place is Parts Voice. Started as a phone audio-input service, but has a multitude of OEM parts listed at dealerships. The ONLY...

Is it chrome-plated? Teflon tape has issues. Has to be "aimed" the correct direction in relation to the threads, so it does not unwind when tightened. It can also decrease the needed torque spec due to it being Teflon. The Teflon pipe sealer can be a better choice. Normally, a thin coat of...
