The long spacer goes between the ears of the alternator (it keeps the bolt from squeezing the ears together and possibly breaking one off, the short spacer goes between the alternator and engine block, and the washer goes under the head of the bolt.
Thanks to all for the photos. I finally figured out the problem with fitting the alternator was with the spark plug wire guide behind the alternator. I had it mounted upside down. However, one thing I noticed in almost all the photos posted: I do not have the triangular bracket attached to...
Hello, Charger Folks!
My Charger is currently finishing a 14-month restoration of the body. I made a lot of photos before pulling the engine for rebuild, but apparently not enough of them. I'm having trouble getting the alternator installed and am hoping someone can provide some photos to...
Thanks for the photos. I am the original owner of a '69 Charger that has been in restoration for the last 14 months. The car was used as the family car and had to live outside for 20 years, so it had some rust issues, too, but nowhere near as severe as yours. Most of the rust on my car was...
I live in a little town in the eastern North Carolina wilderness. About all I see around here are trucks. But that does give me an idea. Thanks, pnora.
Yes, all three. None of them have the tool, but will happily order me another complete kit for around $120.
The "All the Parts Your Car Will Ever Need" source doesn't have it. They do have a tool for $21 + shipping that will align all kinds of clutches.
All responses are welcome, so thanks for that; but I'm still hoping someone out there has an alignment tool for this job. Unless they are in the business of installing clutches, the tool is not something that they will use more than once, probably. I'm hoping someone has one lying around or...
I should say that the engine and tranny are both out of the car. The engine has just been delivered after rebuild. I prefer to install the clutch before I install the engine, and then the tranny comes later.
Hi, Guys -
Does anyone have a clutch disc alignment tool for an A833 4-speed to 383 engine that I can borrow or buy? I bought a new Luk clutch kit several months ago that included the tool, but now that I'm ready to install the clutch I cannot find that tool anywhere. I haven't had the clutch...
That looks like a pretty decent job. Hard to tell from the photos, but they look more "satin" finish than shiny chrome, like the originals were. Probably not possible to get that with paint.
Those might fit the armrests for the doors, although I measure it to be more like 10" for the pad. I need all four, for doors and rear seats.
Who did yours, when, and what was the cost, if I may ask?
Well, I'm the original owner of the car and I'm sorta attached to the original parts. Thanks for the source. I found them on the internet and sent an inquiry, but so far haven't received a response. I thought I would check here in the meantime.
Mopar Maniacs -
My '69 Dodge Charger is under restoration. The armrest plinths for the doors and rear seat are "chrome"-plated hard plastic. Mine have weathered to yellow. Does anyone know of a place that can restore the plating on these?
Thanks,
I have all of the original documents for the car, plus a 156-page logbook of maintenance and trips that I've kept since Day One, and this one will be a part of the collection. It has been quietly resting in the headliner for 53 years now, waiting for me to find it.
I visited my Charger's restoration shop today, and the owner presented me with a document that he found when he removed the headliner. Looks like a final inspection sheet filled out by the paint inspector. Anyone ever seen one of these? I'm wondering what the codes mean that are circled...
