I can't speak to the small pulley issue, but the '69 GTX with factory A/C I owned in the 90s had a fixed factory fan installed for maximum cooling. Car was a daily driver in Virginia with original owner. At cruising speed the fan noise was noticeable. My current '69, also a factory A/C car...

With multiple vintage Mopars I've run over the years, I've always paid the piper when I ran one that didn't have service history. I've ended up re-coring a few radiators that were flushed and pressure tested okay, only to have problems later. My third and fifth GTXs had new cores and service...

I have the original 4640 AVS in my ‘69 GTX and it works flawlessly.

I ran Royal Purple in the pneumatic blower I used to unload the dry bulk tanker I pulled during my last 17 years as an owner-operator. Never had a bearing failure under truly punishing conditions. I can't speak for the zinc content or suitability with flat tappet engines. Shell Rotella had...

A year ago, I would switch off between my stock 440 GTX with 3:23s, and my Hemi with a 3:73. I used to drive the 440 car 100 miles to the Chrysler Nationals every year, and with 27 inch tires, could cruise with traffic on the four lane easily. Back in the day, the car was raced on a regular...

My opinion on this might not be popular, but is based on 45 years of experience driving GTXs on the street. I've never been a racer. Back in the day, the dealer who owned my current GTX as his personal car removed the stock HP 440 camshaft, and replaced it with what you have in your current...

I did this in 1992 with the 1962 Imperial I used as a daily driver in that era. Car ran perfectly for another 90,000 miles. I used to drive it from Chicago to the Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle every year.

I had a pretty unique experience comparing carbs on a stock, never rebuilt 440 in my '68 GTX. Owned the car in the 80s when it was equipped with stock Carter AVS, that my friend Bob had blue printed when he owned the car before me. It ran beautifully on the street, and turned low 14s...

Hemi in my '68 GTX, 440 in my former '69. Born with engine in each.

My Hemi automatic is set up the same as Jerry's, with a manual choke on the rear carb. Performance is the same as his.

Many good points made in this thread, old school vs new. A conversation I had a few years back with the gentleman whose family owned the Plymouth dealership in State College in the 1960s summed it up for me. We were standing next to my two stock GTXs at a local show, and he was comparing the...

During the 15 years I've driven my Pete, I've lost the clutch several times, a product of the multiple clevis pins, ball joints, and other pieces required by the super long linkage in this beast. Believe it or not, the starter will turn over and start the engine in gear, with the rig loaded to...

For what it's worth I have a personal comparison/contrast to share based on actual driving, with my actual cars. I am fortunate to own 2 GTX's, both with their original stock factory drive lines. GTX #1, is Baby Blue, a '68 automatic, with a 3.23, bone stock 440, except for a Holley Street...
