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...

Someone here in Florida is advertising a 1970 Road Runner hardtop with the three speed manual floor shift transmission. I know there were 584 made with the three speed manual floor shift. But, how many of those were made with factory A/C? This one is really stripped but has factory A/C, says...

My 440 was rebuilt .030 over to stock specs except for a mild cam 30 years and 25,000 miles ago. (It was rebuilt by a previous owner.) I unscrewed the oil sending unit and screwed in my shop gauge. I'm getting a tick over 50 PSI at cold idle, it drops to a tick over 20 PSI at hot idle. It's...

The parking brake light on the dash of my '70 Plymouth lights up brightly when the key is on and the parking brake is down, as it should. Problem is, when I release the parking brake, the light goes very dim, but does NOT turn completely off. You can't see it during the day, but it glows very...

Is it possible to test a given Pertronix unit on the bench? I bought three Mopar distributors at various swap meets, all three already had Pertronix installed. I'd like to test these Pertronix units before installing on my car. (These are 318 distributors.)

On the little 318 two barrel, one barrel feeds four cylinders and the other barrel feeds the other four cylinders. You can tell which barrel feeds which cylinders by inspecting the intake manifold. Which barrels feed which cylinders on the 440 six pack?

My '70 Plymouth 440/6 runs rich, too rich. My engine is stock except for the camshaft, due to the non-stock cam, I pull about 6 inches of vacuum at idle. (I would like more vacuum, but it is what it is.) I suspect I have an incorrect power valve. I read that divide the vacuum by 2, then step...

What is the expected idle vacuum for a 440 six barrel? My car idles at 900 rpm, although the idle is rough. I'm showing 7 lbs vacuum at idle, the vacuum jumps to the 18 range as soon as I open the throttle. It momentarily goes over 20 when I release the throttle.

I have a '70 Plymouth with the 440/6. Car has a 160 degree thermostat. Car runs around 170 degrees in town, idling at lights, cruising the neighborhood. Car goes to to about the 200 degree range in the interstate at 65-70 mph. Car drops back to the 170 degree range as soon as I get off the...

I have a '70 Plymouth with a factory 440 six pack and manual brakes. The PVC valve is on the back of the driver side valve cover. Where is the PVC valve hose supposed to go to? Mine goes to the vacuum port at the rear of the intake manifold. I had a mechanic say it should go to the vacuum...

I have a '70 body with a four-speed manual transmission. All four-speed manual cars have that reverse light at the lower edge of the dash. There's a wire that runs from the transmission to the dash light. Can anyone please tell me what route that wire takes from the transmission up to the...
