Update: The compressor is a York unit. It will spin freely, by hand, to a point but then gets very hard to spin by hand. After some looking/thinking, we rotated the alternator down and tried several different shorter belts until we found one that seems to work well (I don't recall now, but I...

Got a friend with a '63 Dodge 440 (383 cid) with (dealer installed?) A/C. Yesterday, when he started the car (to come out of winter hibernation) he said there was a loud screeching sound and the ammeter needle pegged to "C". He immediately shut the engine off. He loosened the alternator...

OK, so based on my Google image search all 1963 Dodge b-body cars (all trim levels) are sedans (2 door & 4 door included)? With that said, starting in 1964 you could get a sedan or a hardtop (2 door or 4 door)? Is it based on trim level (330 vs. 440 vs. Polara)? Would the engine size define...

My buddy & I have had questions about the C pillars on Dodge (and Plymouth) B-body cars for years. I'm a little more versed in A-body cars. I happened to see the attached picture on the internet. I know both cars are '64 Dodge B-body cars. Can somebody explain, definitively, why there are 2...

Sorry, I've been away for a bit. Sadly, Pertronix is the only information he has on the ignition system. He bought the car with the conversion done by the previous owner. He sent a couple of pictures that may help

My buddy has the above mentioned car. He needs a ballast resistor, but doesn't know what ohm value he needs. The previous owner added Pertronix to it. The Pertronix website doesn't mention the ohm value. Does anyone know what he needs?

I spotted this car at a local cruise in/show. Originally a /6, three on the tree, rubber floor mat car. I've never seen a 3-door car before. The current owner said it may have been designed/used as a taxi cab, but has no documentation as to it's origin. Has anyone seen cars like this? Factory...

Saturday was our club's annual CarBQ. It rained.... The picture is a few of us die-hard members

My '71 Dart GT is named "Golden Oldie". Very creative, I know... This picture was taken Saturday at our club's annual CarBQ. Yup, we drive them in the rain too.

My buddy's "Orange Blossom Special"

A few of my favorites from our club's outings:

I too used the VHT SP188 Ford Argent Silver

There was a gentleman (Bruce) on FABO.com who was "the expert" on '70-'71 Dart GT cars. He created a registry (I believe my car is #36 on Bruce's registry) and had all kinds of information about the cars. Unfortunately, Bruce passed away a few years ago. Sadly his registry also disappeared...

I too own an A65 '71 Dart GT. I have owned my '71 Dart GT since August 18th of 2003. Factory equipment on my car includes 318, 2-bbl, A904 auto (console shifter with bucket seats), A/C, PS (Federal), Rimblow steering wheel, manual drums (front & rear), 3.23:1 sure-grip 8 3/4" rear-end, it wears...

I've got 31+ years in with Chrysler (so far). The first 19 years were at JTE (Jeep/Truck Engineering) then, in 2008, I moved to CTC (Chrysler Tech Center). So, my wife and I drive Chrysler products (2013 Dodge Journey for me and a 2019 Jeep Cherokee for my wife).
