    Alternator Bearing replacement question

    Vaanth, Thank you very much for that lesson. This is exactly what I was hoping for. This should be part of a "How To" article. I have a Service manual that is not this good. It assumes you have all the Chrysler tools and jigs.

    AC Leak detection

    After digging in a bit, I found it was the AC Gauges that caused the leak. I used one can of 134A to pressurize the system, then sprayed a dishwashing solution on the fittings and found that the High side quick release And the yellow line at the gauge was bubbling a leak. The interesting thing...

    AC Leak detection

    I have a slow leak in my AC. (Not factory, This is a Vintage Air System). A visual check looks all good, no oil residuals I could find. Since I could not find any potential leak points anywhere, I replaced the O-Rings in every connection I could physically get to. I then pulled a vacuum for 30...

    Sensitive Steering

    I was looking at Rockauto to get an idea of what a power steering pump would cost. I was truly surprised at how many different pumps that they have. How can I actually tell which pump that I have? I was told by a friend that even the Saginal Pumps from a Truck would work. Is that true? they do...

    Sensitive Steering

    Volare1977, Yes the front end is in good shape, I had it aligned a year ago. I do have the front dropped lower than normal. I googled the Saginaw pump, it looks like to add the kit I would remove the High Pressure line from the back side and then remove the Nut where the line was attached. When...

    Sensitive Steering

    the steering is too sensitive. At 50-60 MPH a sneeze could be dangerous. it responds very quickly to any actions. It is manageable but I'm interested if I have any options. There is no play in the linkages. Stiffer as volare1977 suggests is worth looking into. I did put an Autozone rebuilt...

    "Chrysler Distributor Bushing Installer Tool"

    From my limited knowledge only the DuraBond AD-584 does not need Burnished. All others do. I talked to the Local dealer mechanic, and he said he recommended they all be burnished, or the surface may prematurely wear the intermediate shaft. The only Installer tools I am aware of is the SPX...

    Harmonic Balancer Question

    Confirmed the TDC, The Timing mark was at the correct location. After I got it Off, the Rubber on the Back was cracked quite a bit, but I did notice the Timing Cover Seal left a scoring, so I decided to buy a new Balancer to eliminate a potential leak since I'm also replacing that seal and Chain...

    Harmonic Balancer Question

    I was wondering the need to replace a Harmonic Balancer/Damper on a Stock engine? How do I know "when" to replace it other than the obvious physical damage? If the rubber has very small cracks, is that a reason? I'm replacing the Timing chain set now, is that a reason even if no scoring on the...

    Mopar to GM Ignition conversion

    I did this: Stripped the Mopar box, added the GM. Made a Heatsink from 1/8 Aluminum and used the heatsink compound that primary goal was to keep it as Mopar looking as possible. For the Coil I used an e-core that the Primary was .5 Ohms from a Chevy S10 Blazer. I had to reverse the Distributor...

    Tilt Steering column

    I was having difficulties identifying my column. So I could not get the needed part numbers. I went to a local Dodge Parts dept and was Greatly impressed that they allowed me to look at their parts manuals.

    Mopar to GM Ignition conversion

    Aspen500, I do want the HEI system. I looked up the DUI brand on Summit, and it was in the $330 range. Ouch. I was hoping to assemble all the components needed from a salvage yard like a few other posts on the slantsix and forabodiesonly suggest. They suggested a year range of Chevy's as donor...
