This post is about the different alternators used on FMJ's. The next post (same thread) will be on what is needed to retrofit another alternator onto your FMJ. Before I get into interchangeability, I wanted to touch on five ways to get any alternator to produce more electricity: 1) repair (or...

I was looking at my local Pull-a-Part website to check on some parts for my pickup, and ran across this: 1958 Imperial It should have a 392 Hemi and push-button 2 speed auto in it. For what i can see under the hood (which is not much), I would say this boat anchor of beast of an engine is...

On another thread, I had written up about a harmonic balancer that is missing a section of the rubber between the metal rings (Rough idle... post #58). I was looking in my garage for something else, found this and took pictures of it. I “think” it came from a '79 Dodge motorhome 360 engine...

I was browsing for some parts for my ride, and ran across this: POSI CARRIER DANA SPICER 27 SPLINE TRAC LOC DODGE CHRYSLER 8.25 INCH 10 BOLT | eBay . Chrysler's 8¼” differential, from '68 to '96 use 27-spline axles. '97 and up vehicles use 29-spline axles – which makes finding axles and...

I know that most M-bodies have a low fuel light on the fuel gauge. For some reason I recall having seen a low fuel light on the newer F-bodies – but all the part books I’ve looked in do not show that as an option. It might also be I’ve loosing brain cells and don’t know what I’m talking about...

The carburetor on my '86 Fifth Ave is currently giving me fits. Now I should back up a bit, about 10 years ago (or so), the original Holley 6280 feedback carburetor was giving a lot of fits, mainly because of the cheap gasoline used (previous owner) and sitting for long periods of time. I'm...

The January 2020 Car Of The Month will be any ’76-84 FMJ vehicle with a /6 engine. Pictures are highly recommended. A back story might be helpful if there are voting members who do not know much about your vehicle. If you want to submit a friend’s car, I say go ahead. This thread will be...

This is something Captain Caravelle started a few years ago and I’m going to start back up. Categories: Survivor/stock, restored/lightly modified and modified (which means it is clearly obvious the car wasn’t built that way). F-body 2 door and 4 door, M-body 2 door and 4 door, J-body and wagons...

For FMJ vehicles, Chrysler only recommends inspecting the brake fluid – but says nothing about changing it. DOT 3 is what FMJ cars were built with. DOT 4 is a slightly better fluid than DOT 3 (higher boiling point) but for all practical purposes, DOT 3 and DOT 4 are the same thing. DOT means...

My Mopar club (Central Oklahoma Mopar Assn.) had their dyno night last Friday (June 7, 2019) and cruise/car show the following Saturday. Here are some highlights: At the dyno, a ’16 Charger Hellcat made 682 HP and a ’15 Challenger Hellcat made 651 HP (the two leaders). A ’98 Viper made 408...

Are you not able to get your FMJ into alignment (not enough provision for positive Camber)? There are three fixes (that I know of): The first option is to remove the upper control arm support plate (or plates, if both sides are needed) – Red arrow. Once plates are removed, you need to grind...

All (’76-89) FMJ-body differentials are interchangeable – with a couple of minor differences. The ’76-81 FMJ 7¼” came with 2.5” (63.5 mm) tube diameters. The 7¼” differential tube diameter bumped up to 3.0” (tapered) for ’82-89 M and J bodies. The ’82-89 7¼” and all FMJ 8¼” use the same shock...

Is there any forum members who lives somewhat close to Saint Louis – or more specifically to East Saint Louis? I have an item I would like to purchase from Craigslist there, and they said they will not ship it (pickup only) – and I was looking at my options. I would like to at least get this...

I ran across a couple of items on eBay that thought some of our members might be interested in. ’85-89 power antenna motor https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-MOPAR-4364481-POWER-ANTENNA-PKG-1985-89-CHRYSLER-FIFTH-AVE/273039369485?hash=item3f926a250d:g:M64AAOSwmRFaaKej ’80-88 dome lamp...

Is there any forum members who lives somewhat close to New Ringgold, Pennsylvania? I have an item I would like to purchase on eBay, but they will not ship it (pickup only) – and I was looking at my options. New Ringgold, PA appears to be in the middle of a triangle between the towns of...

Does anyone have a working remote engine (or transmission) oil filter system on their fine F, M or J automobile (new Hemi, small or big block)? If so, can you provide pictures of your system? Also, any notes as to what you would change - if you were to do it again? I’m considering installing a...

I attached all of the SATC (Semi-Automatic Temperature Control) diagnosis pages, including flow charts, for those who would like it – from my ’86 FSM (Factory Service Manual) which is basically is the same for all years M and J-bodies. If your servo motor is still working and on-car – but you...

I’m looking for a pair of (2x) pickup or police engine oil fill tubes (like this) The item # 10 (in orange). I have a surplus of caps, currently. Also looking for a pair of (left and right) exhaust manifolds for 318 or 360 police (BFJMR-body). Would prefer to get one with left side oxygen...

I need a price check for a Tuff steering wheel (is not mine). Not sure what year this came off of (Maybe a ’74 B-body?) – but other than the cap (being different?), it shouldn’t matter. I popped off the cap to get pictures and might have broken off one of the 4 fingers used to hold cap in...

Electrical connectors and pigtail part numbers, from my ’84 Chrysler Parts manual. Each page from the manual is a different post. Some parts from ’76 and from ’89, will not be in this selection of pages. Most of these parts have not been available from Chrysler for many years/decades, except...

I visited my brother in Tulsa OK, this weekend . . . and found out what happened to my missing ’84 125 MPH police speedometer. Several years back, he was traveling through OKC and a wheel came off of his trailer (he had bought a ’70 (or ’71) ‘Cuda convertible (in pieces) that he was hauling)...

Power brake booster for sale. I bought this from our venders (The Ran Man Home ) to install a big block into my ’86 5th Ave, August 2015. It has been in my garage sense (and has been tripped over a couple of times). I decided to go another route and now have this unit for sale. Was...
