Need schooling on how to find parts numbers in parts manual.

[sprice]

I have read the front part of the 68’ Chrysler parts manual and unless I need more coffee, I get lost on some items or maybe no part number exists.

Looking at the diagram below, I am trying to locate a part number for the retainer 8-50-163 however cannot find it the code section at the front. Should I be looking in the rear of the manual?

Some of that '68 Parts manual on MyMopar is missing pages. It seems to have C-body sections and illustrations missing.

Take a look in the '67 parts manual. It may or may not have your part, but it's worth a shot.

You may want to purchase your own manual.

That said... Here's a page from the MyMopar 1968 FSM, so that is listed. Part # 2606924

That’s a plastic/nylon part that might be found with Murray Park.

That little bugger is a beast to find. I was missing one, could not find it anywhere, and ended up making one. A couple of years later I found a NOS one from someone here on FCBO. They are plastic, and get very brittle.

You first look up the group number and then find the part as per application.

The beauty of the Mopar parts manual is the section (in this case 8), matches the same section number in the service manual. Also the entire code In many cases is the same as other years. If you want to see if a 66 or 67 part is the same part Number you can look in the numerical pages for 8-50-163 (example from above) in the 66 or 67 books and can cross check if it’s the same. That being said trim parts across the year are usually unique.
