"Junk"? Nice looking "junk". But what we might consider such is a treasure for somebody not as well informed. BTAIM In the middle 2000s, some guys had started an oil well fracking company, sold the company and one of them went to B-J Scottsdale and invested his windfall in classic cars...

Which Corvette switch? After I bought my '70 Monaco Brougham (with factory cornering lights), I determined the reason the horn did not work was the factory Rim Blow steering wheel horn switch apparently had a history of activating when the interior temp got over 80*F. So the horn relay was...

Don't forget about the www.hamtramck-historical.com Library, with the dealer order guides (which also include the standard and option equipment by model and carline), too. If the link does not work, input the address manually. Happy Holidays! CBODY67

Thanks for that information. The Carter BBD had two sizes. The "LA" motor/"318" size and the "B" motor size, with 1.56" throttle bores. The "Carter BBD 1.5" has a larger and more rounded float bowl section. The smaller "318" size has a more curved/angular float bowl section that is smaller...

Also look at the input side of the steering gear for in and out play in the input shaft on the box as it is turned from the center position. A wear point that can be adjusted with that big spanner ring on the gearbox. That plus the coupler and other steering column/gearbox interfaces.

What do they claim the additional $778.00 is for? How did they determine that amount? I'm not sure about "weaponization" per se, although it might certainly seem that way, but it could well be "people not knowing what they are doing" nor "understanding what they should be doing". At least...

Respectfully, that noted number looks more like a Holley casting part number for the particular PART of the carburetor, not the 4-digit "List Number" (for the complete assy), that on 4bbls, was usually stamped on the front of the choke plate housing, near the top edge on the driver's side part...

Looking at the standard and optional equipment listings in the sales brochures and dealer order guides. Unless it was a HP engine, the 2.76 (and later 2.71) ratios were standard. The HP engines had 3.23 (and later 3.21) ratios as standard. BUT those ratios could be flip-flopped too. Which...

The first Magnum 500 repros I saw, years ago, were from Wheel Vintiques. At that time, I strongly suspect THEY are the manufacturer (or have them made for them). This was in the later 1980s. Seems like every '68-'70 Charger and B-body that was at Mopar Nats in the later 1980s had those 15x7s...

Additionally, outside of the "more center" part of the adjustment, more pre-load = higher spring rate and the opposite for less pre-load adjustment.

I suspect that Spectra is the manufacturer for all C-body gas tanks that are for sale at this time. Everybody uses the same part number that Spectra does, is the reason I suspect that, BUT do not know that. Van's used to have the best price with free shipping. BUT do check Rock Auto, too, for...

After I made my comments about other model years and Chrysler big-car models, I went into the KYB website and looked around for what they offered. For some reason, no 1961 Plymouths or Dodges, but seems like there were '62s and '59s? What they showed for the front shocks had a metal tube over...

Thrust angle or pinion angle?

I consider that "background information" from my experiences. Perhaps it comes from my parents being career school teachers and my orientation toward "product information" which can be shared with customers (in my career as a dealership front counter parts sales person, plus a car enthusiast)...

I went into RA to look around, just now (Friday AM). Gabriel and a few Monroe listings. Their listings indicate 1955-1964 coverage, front and rear. No gaps. In these "buyers guide" listings, you have to also understand that some models did not go all the way through that time frame. Some...

OK, not go to the Chrysler factory parts manuals (online versions) and look for differences in the front suspension pieces. Like lower control arms and such. Also look in the Chrysler factory service manuals about shock absorber installation and removal on the '61, '60, and '62 cars. Next...

Use ChatGPT or similar AI-generated answers ONLY AS AN ADVISORY. You might be younger than when the first computer orientation was "Garbage in, Garbage out". Any AI-generated answer CAN easily prove that! It might seem unusual, but typically cast iron exhaust manifolds against cast iron cyl...

Start with a magnetic base dial indicator. The magnet in the base is directional, so it can e easily removed. Harbor Freight or similar can be the best place to get one, price wise. The mechanism should have some tubes the indicator is mounted on that will allow for a good bit of adjustment...

Have you looked on the KYB website for information and other models the shocks might fit? Looked in RockAuto for shocks, too? In other many threads in here, over the decades, there were complaints that many then-available shocks were too weak for a Chrysler's weight. The usual ones everybody...

To go along with the VIN or partial VIN stamps on the block, also look at the casting date and casting number on the side of the block. The casting date will pre-date the production/machining/assembly date of the engine, possibly up to about 6 months, as I understand it. By that point in time...
