    Seat upholstery L2B3

    In the Snap-On computerized catalogs we had, the earlier parts books would only mention what was optional on the vehicle in its "yellow light" highlights. If you were looking specifically for a particular style of transfer case (4wd), if it was standard equipment on the pickup, no option code...

    1962 Chrysler 300 383 build

    In the machine shop realm of things, you might have some issues with your list and orientations. "Wanting to use standard-size pistons" can be an issue as ANY machine shop will find the bores have enough wear on them to need about a .030" overbore to get to "new metal" and machine a completely...

    Seat upholstery L2B3

    . . . And I was that parts person for 46.5 years (but in GM). What I said to customers depended on if they were a retail customer, wholesale customer, or internal/dealership customer. Each was a different perspective on things. Although I knew the codes and such, when talking to a customer...

    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    When I installed the Mopar Perf Elec Ign Kit (that I bought when they were really OEM Chrysler parts in them), everything hooked up as normal. Used an MSD-5C control box to replace the Orange box with the kit, mounting it at an electrically good spot behind the lh headlight, extending the...

    You might also download the Chrysler Parts Manual at www.mymopar.com , for its "exploded views" and such. Might need to manually input that address.

    What's the diff

    On the ratio, there might be a metal tag with the ratio stamped on it, on one of the bolts holding the pumpkin to the axle housing. Not big, but there.

    What's the diff

    Check the Factory Service Manual about the need (or lack thereof) to pack the rear wheel bearings with grease before installation. Just a precaution. Some use the axle's gear lube for their lube as others might not. Enjoy! CBODY67

    Rebuilding my 1966 Plymouth Sport Fury...

    Unless the weatherstripping is failing, no need to remove it to do the slides, as I understand it. Yes, some white plastic clips to attach the w/strip to the door, but they are inserted into the weatherstrip (cut holes in the rubber into which the clips are inserted) and if you pull hard...

    Factory spare tire cover.

    The "Trunk Dress-up Kit" was usually black carpet with a matching black carpet spare tire cover. That is what was in the back of my '70 Dodge Monaco Brougham when I bought it unmolested used in 1975. Might check the Dealer Order Guides (for your car) in the "Library" at...

    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    Considering how "dwell" affects timing, I find it hard to believe that changing the distributors does not affect your base timing. Unless you are re-timing the engine with each distributor swap. I would check the voltage getting TO the ECU as there is a minimum voltage requirement for it to...

    Coolant overflow

    It was certainly a great day for a drive. It was up here in DFW. 190*F for the engine is not anywhere near "overheated" with a 180*F thermostat. On the round-top radiators, the "Full Cold" coolant level should be about 1 inch below the bottom of the filler neck. Maybe up to 1.5" or so...

    Seat upholstery L2B3

    Not knowing the trim code, does the car have a normal 2-dr front seat or factory buckets? I concur on the sources mentioned above. Unless Legendary has a kit for your car, it'll be you get the materials and then find a good trim shop to sew it all together. Check out the Color and Trim Guides...

    68' 300 Exhaust

    In general, the word "Chevy" is usually involved when "headers" are mentioned. That has seemed to be where many people's experience or knowledge of "headers" comes from. Reason? Chevies NEED help in the area of exhaust manifolds. They did have some '60s Corvette cast iron Rams Horn manifolds...

    Welcome and congrats on your project. In my '66 Chrysler factory service manual, there is a graphic of how it all assembles. I suspect the same graphic would be in the other similar full-size Plymouth and Dodge factory service manuals, too. www.mymopar.com (might need to manually input that...

    1967 Chrysler backup light

    I concur, there should be some Phillips-head chrome screws in those screw holes. I also concur that the gasket has probably age-stuck the lens to the housing. With a small Phillips-head screwdriver, sometimes you can insert the screwdriver and then carefully apply some "push up" on the lens to...

    68' 300 Exhaust

    IF price-sonsciounce, have you priced headers lately? But my reference point is probably 60 years old by now, which was $69.95 for the "price leader brand" which sold mostly to Chevy people back then. That was also back when header installation took a ball pein hammer to "dimple for clearance"...

    Hose connection?

    That "tube" is the condensate drain tube for the a/c evaporator core. Coolant coming from it means the above-mentioned heater core situation.

    Engine sound only on acceleration

    When we bought our '66 Newport used (from the Chrysler dealer) with 7100 miles on it, it had "more sound" on initial acceleration than when cruising. The dealer tech tightened the exh manifold bolts to the head and all was quiet, all the time. Might be only 1/8 turn on the bolt/nut, but that's...

    RPM intake clearance

    Using that same information in Summit for the normal Performer intake can nail down the difference quite easily. Edelbrock used to have graphics of intake height in their catalogs and website for their various intake manifolds.

    Shock recommendation for added ride height?

    By twisting the bar, is the car not being raised by the increased spring rate/pre-load? No need to get into the heat treat or other issues to explain this, as all of those other issues are "common" situations. As the amount of weight the bar is designed to "hold" remains unchanged. Just...
