    1966 Fender tag decoding

    No, it was the 8,855th car off the line that year. All Chrysler plants started the yearly numbering system with 100001. Ignore the leading "1" to get the correct number of vehicles each year. .......and special ordered cars usually had option 691Expedite at the bottom of the Monroney label...

    Is there still a National HEMI owners Assn. or a registry?

    Built it in '64. Was painted in Agawam in '72. Had to re-paint it (everything but the ribbons and caricatures) after blowing a tire on the way home from Louisville, KN outside Hershey, PA in 2008 and taking out the right quarter. Ya can't "blend" Kandy Tangerine very easily. It's easier to...

    Is there still a National HEMI owners Assn. or a registry?

    I used to belong years ago but it wasn't a late hemi that qualified me for membership. I had and still drive a hemi powered, channeled, '34 Ford sedan. Met Roland once, talked to him on the phone a couple of times. Also belonged to Northeast Hemi Owners Assn but they were so disorganized I...

    Header Gaskets question(s)

    Me, too but no star washers, just stock setup (but I have cast iron stock manifolds). I cut the tie-bar between the ports, though and I put a thin film of high temp RTV on the surface and give it a chance to set up before starting the engine and blowing the gasket out. I was in a hurry once a...

    Header Gaskets question(s)

    If you can live with the studs (vs. bolts) things are a LOT easier. Using bolts requires draining the coolant because some, if not all, the holes are open ended into the cooling system. I use plumber's thread sealant or aviation gasket cement on the studs when I install them in the head to...

    Map light and dome light wiring 68 B body?

    The harness is original. I never changed it and I bought the car new so I know it's original.

    Map light and dome light wiring 68 B body?

    Perhaps my switch is bad because the map light never worked unless the door was open or the thumbwheel was run to the end of it's travel. With the switch in the opposite position, it never worked/works at all regardless of the door switches or thumbwheel being set. There's only pink and yellow...

    Map light and dome light wiring 68 B body?

    The map light only comes on when one of two actions are taken. 1. you open the door 2. you rotate the thumb switch to activate the dome/courtesy lights. All the map light switch does is DISCONNECT the map light from the courtesy light circuit. Pink is battery-hot fused power and yellow is...

    I guess there's something to be said for stock exhaust when it comes to doing repairs.

    Delphi Packard 56 or 59?

    Waytek sells them. They're the same terminal that various suppliers use for their add-on relay sockets

    Can someone explain this ?

    How is raising the front end changing your pinion angle? Changing the pinion angle relative to the road surface is NOT the same as changing the pinion angle relative to the transmission main shaft angle and THAT'S how you correct driveshaft vibration. You raise or lower the pinion angle...

    Last time I tried to purchase from them they sent me to Year One and said they had an exclusive contract with them.

    Delphi Packard 56 or 59?

    The only place you should find a 59 series terminal on your car is on the headlight bulb. FWIW, the Packard/ Delphi /Aptiv 56 series terminals are not the same as the MoPar terminals when it comes to fitting into the plastic enclosures. The GM type terminal is more of a rectangle when viewed...

    What is a good 12V battery voltage reading?

    12.7 on a fully-charged 12 volt battery. Optima batteries are NOT deep cycle batteries. i.e. they're not designed to be fully depleted. If you pancake an Optima battery, replace it Optima batteries require a higher charging rate than a normal lead acid batteries. FWIW, you can't maintain...

    79 Magnum 360 into 72 Satellite Wiring

    I put a '79 Aspen 225 into a '72 Dart Swinger back in the early eighties. The ONLY thing I had to do was modify the slot in the '72 distributor hold-down bracket to accept the larger 5/16' bolt. The car's still running just fine with the points distributor. I had it out this past Friday. If...
