Any news on this? Mechanical fuel pumps are either good ... or bad. Vapor lock is a valid possibility (heat is vaporizing the fuel before (or inside) the carburetor). The in-take fuel strainer/filter can be a cause if mostly stopped up. It will not act up as long as fuel flow is less than...

you do not have to use compressed air, to change valve seals. It can be done using rope. Snake several feet of rope (any kind) into the spark plug hole of cylinder you are working on, then rotate piston up until you get a little resistance (going towards TDC, going either direction). Remove...

The grease in the door latches gets rock hard over the years. I have 3 door latches on my Fifth Ave that are sticky/hard to open because of the hardened grease. You will need to get an Impact Screwdriver (as shown, above) to remove those screws or YOU WILL tear up the screws. Once you get...

Adding power locks and/or power windows is doable - but you do need a parts car and requires a lot of teardown/re-assembly to get installed. If you have the interior and dash removed (and access to parts), i would recommend going for it. If you have no plans on removing vehicle interior...

Chrysler used build sheets for a long time after the end of FMJ's. When a car was going to be built, the assembly line would print off a single build sheet, but print it in muliple departments at once. Seat department would a sheet, Dash department would get one, engine department, and so on...

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

I was 3 at the time. Family watched it in black n white TV

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...

Do you have the caps for the wheels?

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...).

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.

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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.

The underhood hot water valve is either open or closed, depending on what mode the switch is on. The actual temperature control is based off of the cable. The '79 A/C temp cable part p/n is 3842156. On the case side of the cable, there is a weird adjusting clip that sometimes pops off. That...

Friend, you have been very lucky, then. It might have been production tolerances that has let you get by, maybe. Everyone I know of who has used a 2-bbl throttle cable on an FMJ 4-bbl application, has had their throttle stuck open, once engine has been put under a load. Engine mount "give"...

These two part numbers are correct but have not been available for over 2 decades.

I haven't worked with (or on) a kickdown cable setup (yet) but the simplicity and the cost involved to find the "correct" parts (and not what someone is peddling off as "correct" parts - which are far from it). With the air cleaner in place, the cable setup is almost not viewable (for the most...

The Magnum 318 and 360's use the same oil pan. I am assuming the Magnum 318's went to the older 360 style oil pan style block attachment. I would agree, the Magnum oil pans will not fit passenger cars.
