Hi guys,I have a '67 Chrysler New Yorker Fastop that I'm rebuilding.I got the car a few months back and the previous owner had a slight engine fire.I got most of the engine compartment straightened out and things replaced but I'm having trouble locating a brake booster check valve.My car has drum brakes all around.Every check valve that I get seems to be too small.I've seen pics of the mopar valves and they seem to have one or two additional vacuum ports coming off the valve.I'm assuming that's the one I need.Does anyone have a part number so I can pick one up from my local Napa/advance/autozone parts store or do I need to order one online . Also,anyone know of a good place to get a new engine wiring harness? I was told to check out Evans,any other recommendations?
 
Might depend whether you have a Midland-Ross or a Bendix booster. The M-R has a V-clamp that joins the 2 shells. At least for M-R, I think the check valve is the same for 70's cars, though might have an extra nipple to plug. Check rockauto for your year and say a 74 Dart.

Year One might have an engine harness. Maybe check a 67 Fury (C-body, I think). You might consider changing to electronic ignition. In that case, you might want a harness from a 71+ car, if you want to use the factory Mopar ignition. Personally, I would use HEI, like the $59 BB or RB distributor on ebay, in which case keeping the 67 harness is actually simpler.
