The vacuum advance on my '70 Plymouth 440/6 has gone out; I need another one.
The engine is stock, I just need one that works and is adjustable, does not have to be NOS or 'correct', just one that works. I looked at the parts suppliers, AutoZone, O'Reilly, etc, no one seems to have one.
Does...
Thank you, OH71Runner & 66Satellite, I've already checked the gasket and the blades are NOT catching on it. It turns freely until I get to a certain amount of torque on the bolts, then it starts binding, gets worse the more I torque the bolts.
Seems that tightening the bolts is causing the...
I removed all three carburetors from my 70 Plymouth Six-Pack for refurbishing. All went well, I put the front and center carburetors back on, no problems at all.
I can't get the back carburetor to work, it starts binding as soon as I tighten the bolts down. Both the manifold and carburetor...
I have a '70 GTX with the four-speed. The reverse lockout/ignition interlock is missing, so I bought the parts from Brewer.
The parts book and service manual don't give a lot of info.
Would someone have the time to get under a car and snap some pictures of the reverse lockout/ignition...
Thank you, R413 and PlymHemi.
I suppose those linkage parts are next to impossible to find. I would imagine that linkage got tossed on most of these cars whenever the transmission was serviced or rebuilt. Most owners probably found the interlock to be annoying.
I'll see if Brewer's...
Please take a look at the attached photo; What is the purpose of the flange on the steering column? It's silver in this picture.
I'm assuming it's part of the shift linkage on a column shift automatic car. But what purpose would it serve on a four speed manual car and why would a four speed...
Thank you, Jerry, Pikster, and SureGrip.
I bought the car in 2014, never had any problems with the rear, never did anything with the rear other than check the fluid. The car was restored in the late 80's, the rear was rebuilt at that time. The car has been driven approximately 25K miles...
Thank you, Jerry & Pikster.

Sadly, I'm not a mechanic or rear expert, I probably would not be able to see anything out of order or know what to look for.
My '70 Plymouth GTX has the 3.54 Dana rear. I'm now hearing a clicking, popping noise, sounds like it's coming from the rear, but not sure. It's continous, even when just rolling (clutch in) at low speeds.
Drove the car some 10 miles or so, got it warmed up, sound got louder. Let the car sit...
Thank you MoparLeo, YY1, and 33Imp, agreed with all you say. I'm in the process of switching the left side of the car to right hand threads. (I'm working a job, so I can only devote so much time to this.)
Thank you, 69L. Yes, the Torq-Thrust wheels do have a ‘mag’ style lug with the shoulder that goes into the wheel. Let me take a look and see how much stud goes into the lug.
In any event, I've got to replace the 10 left hand studs on the driver side, I've got the Dorman part numbers for the...
I also got some Torq-Thrust wheels for my '70 Plymouth GTX. I see that the wheel mounting face is somewhat thicker than the factory wheels.
I'm now concerned that my wheel studs may not be long enough. What did you do about the wheel studs?
Got some new Torq-Thrust wheels for my '70 Plymouth GTX. Wheels look good, but they are quite a bit thicker than the factory wheels.
It now looks like my studs may be too short. Looked at the Dorman catalog...
What did others with Torq-Thrust wheels do? Did you get new longer wheel studs...
Thank you 33Imp, the backspace is 3.70 inches, according to TireTack, which is where I bought them. I measured it on the bench, the 3.70 figure seems correct.
(Tire Rack's website says the offset is negative 6 MM, the box says negative 5.1 MM. Tire Rack says this will fit the '70 Plymouth...
Has anyone ever tried a P215/75R15 tire? A 75 series tire would give you lower RPMS at speed. Are there clearance problems with the front wheels with a 75 series tire?
Got some 15 inch Torq-Thrust wheels.
I'm thinking of putting on P215/75-R15 tires. I figure a 75 tire will give me fewer RPMS on the interstate. Has anyone tried a 75 tire on a b-body? I'm concerned about clearance on the front wheels when turning and possibly hitting a bump when the wheels...
