The winner is?

Below is my current Mopar stable. a '74 Duster, a '69 GTX and a '70 Cuda. The game is "Who can answer first?" My Chevy friends could not answer. But this crowd will answer very quickly I believe. Winner who answers first gets to ask the next "Mopar knowledge" question? (I know this is stupid. But my local pup is closed due to Covid surge.) What do the 3 cars have in common? And what is the major difference?

 

[Jerry Hall]

All Mopars and A, B, & E body.

 

[Cojohnso1]

All Mopars and A, B, & E body.

Half right

 

[JimCoronette]

All Plymouths
Duster - A body
GTX - B body
'Cuda - E body

We have a winner. JimCoronette. After buying the Duster about 5 years ago. I noticed I have never owned a Dodge. (Except for truck that supports the 3.) So I continued that theme with the purchase of the GTX 3 years ago. (Now my 7th Plymouth owned) Your turn? If not? Anyone else?

I hope you are referring Chrysler? If not? probably a few answers?

yes

 

[Cojohnso1]

yes

Tough question. I believe the 413/426 max wedge ended in '65. And all the LA series I believe go past '66? Ill have to think this one. But I may not know the answer.

 

[Cojohnso1]

One clue is "passenger cars" which leads me to believe standard 413. (Which I believe was used as late as early 70s for some motorhomes?) So 413. Final answer?

 

[#41]

361

 

[R413]

Poly 318

(in the USA anyway)

 

[Richard Cranium]

A, B, & E

 

[Cojohnso1]

But he missed "All Plymouths"

 

[66Satellite47]

426 Street Wedge ended in 1966.

 

[Big Bad Dad]

I believe two answers to be correct. Poly 318 and 361.

 

[Don Frelier]

Yes but the poly was the last of it's series the "A" engine.
The B series went on to great things and powered alot of cars just not in the 361 size.
I would have answered Poly 318.

The winner is R413.

This was the answer I was looking for. I’m a big Poly fan.

I forgot about the equally obscure 361.

Ok new question: what was the first model year for an alternator as standard equipment on a Chrysler Dodge or Plymouth vehicle.
