    Needing to wobble the key to get it into the ignition cylinder

    It might have a bad pin in the lock cylinder. As long as the cylinder isn't damaged, a new pin (or pins) should cure the problem. If the cylinder is bad, a new one is in order.

    Pitman Arm Quandry

    Between pitman arm and sector shaft, nothing, just a wedge fit in the splines. Between pitman arm and retaining nut, a large lock washer as mentioned. Now, if you have a '73-up pitman arm (large hole) on a '72 and older steering gear (small shaft), the pitman arm will go on too far and cause all...

    replace ignition switch

    I don't find removing the column helps one bit if you're just going to replace the ignition switch. Being bolted into the car helps hold everything while you take off the parts needed to do the job.

    Proclaimed NOS parts rant

    An accurate description of a part is the most important. No way you're going to keep the scam artists from duping people. If a part is NOS, new take-off, or used, just describe the condition. I've seen NOS parts in the factory box that had all sorts of flaws in them. I've seen used parts that in...

    Another fender tag validity question

    If the original tag matches this repop, and they both match the VIN, I try to bring it back to stock as close as possible personally.

    73 barracuda trunck lock issues...

    Keep in mind that the Barracuda trunk lock is offset and uses a different tail piece that operates linkage over to the latch, not a straight shaft that slides directly into the latch like most other models. It's lock is unique to that style of tail shaft, so, most of the aftermarket generic...

    Seat Latch Wear

    Unless someone is going to be riding in the back seat, why worry about it? It's only an added safety feature for being in a crash, so, unrestrained passengers in the rear don't crush you against the steering wheel. None of the mid 60's and older cars had them, and it wouldn't (and doesn't) stop...

    Non rally dash clock question

    If it has an aftermarket quartz movement, I wouldn't worry about the battery drain too much. If it's a stock coil/points movement, they were notoriously trouble prone. The points would eventually stick causing the coil to melt down. Personally, if it still works okay, I'd make that jumper wire a...

    Turn Signal Canceling Actuator

    I use my heavy duty snap ring spreaders for that job. Same one I use for automatic transmission rings.

    VIN Block Question

    The PM prefix was used in both 1968 and 1969. If 1968, they didn't put the VIN on the block. If 1969, it's still not the original engine. It should have F318 as a prefix in 1970. How about a second look at the casting number and maybe posting it here. Sometimes 68 and 69 can be confused if the...

    Timing cover marks left or right?

    Your cover is a late '68 or '69 small block cover. Looks like your replacement was made in 1983. Just match the cover with the correct balancer or remark the one you have if necessary. It's always advisable to verify TDC on any rebuild or parts swap anyway. Use a piston stop to check it.

    Can anyone tell me what this head number means. I cannot find it.

    My heads have an "F" after the3418915 F What does the F stand for?? From what I've been able to determine, it's the particular casting mold for that head. They progressed through the years alphabetically. I've never seen an A mold, but, I've seen B molds, all with 2.02 intake valves. On the...

    SOLD NOS and used radio tape player plugs 3501104

    These are the tape player bypass plugs that go into a radio that is equipped with a pigtail for the remote cassette player. Without the tape player cable hooked up, the radio won't work without this plug. As you can see, I have quite a few used ones, and one NOS one. $10 ea. for the used, and...
