    WANTED 1982 Imperial fuel tank

    Are you looking for Factory Fuel Injected parts or "converted to carburetor" parts? I do not have either, but was thinking some clarification might be helpful to your search. BudW

    Air Conditioning "Issues"

    On ANY vehicle that has Air Conditioning, that also has a wet floorboard – feel the floor after a drive. If the floor is cold, then the A/C drain is not draining. If the floor is hot/warm, then most likely it is the heater core leaking. Bugs and other “stuff” (leaves,dirt and/or bug dirt) can...

    aspirator tube

    Five years ago, I bought some steel stock and gasket material to make block-off plates (and gaskets), for about 20 block-off plate kits - but the project got deeply buried in my garage - so something to do on another day (or year...).

    aspirator tube

    Actually Fel-Pro makes the gasket - BUT it is only available as part of a head gasket kit - so, yea (sigh). BudW

    Can you re-phrase that. I'm not exactly sure what the question is, exactly.

    A500 OD spring stuck in Hub??

    Unfortunately, I stopped paying attention as to the break-years, so can't give a good answer to that, EXCEPT: If you are looking at a transmission without a speedometer gear hole, it most likely will not work for you (for more than the obvious reason). Now a person might be able to reuse your...

    aspirator tube

    My '77 has what @Aspen500 refers to pulse air. Chrysler calls it an aspirator valve. The valve blocks off the exhaust pulse then opens with the exhaust suction, allowing fresh air into the exhaust. It uses the hose that attaches to bottom side of air cleaner (which is VERY noisy when...

    A500 OD spring stuck in Hub??

    I both sorta like the Chrysler new transmission numbering system on one hand and on another, it can be confusing. The (automatic) transmissions that originally came in FMJ's are: A727, A904, A998 and A999. Of the last three, the A904 is light duty - and phased out/last used behind a 318 in '78...

    A500 OD spring stuck in Hub??

    Depending on what year transmission you find - you might have to reuse your existing case (if good) and/or valve body. You valve body shouldn't be damaged per-se, but it will need a thorough/in-depth cleaning. BudW

    AC delete pulley?

    The no-A/C cars (that normally use the C-171 A/C compressor) use a bracket that has an idler pulley attached to it), that bolts in place of the A/C compressor. That way Ma Chrysler could use one set of pulleys and brackets for all small block cars (and V-6 pickup/van/Dakotas). The bolt in...

    A500 OD spring stuck in Hub??

    It has gotten incredibly hot! You can tell by the metal discoloration on the top picture. A rhetorical question, but how hot do you need to discolor metal? With that amount of metal (iron/steel and aluminum) floating about, it will take a lot of time to make sure all of it is all cleaned out...

    A500 OD spring stuck in Hub??

    Springs do break and I see broken ones all of the time, but honestly, the piston lip seals fail a lot more often - especially if transmission (or that particular clutch) has gotten too hot. A failed lip seal will either allow fluid to bypass it or will fold over causing the piston to stick or...

    Can you re-phrase what your question is, please? I see a few things as to what you might be asking - but not sure, exactly.
