    The pictured starter is an aftermarket remanufactured unit. The housing, or nose, casting number is 2875553, which is not the starter part number, and was cast in 1969. A better picture of the casting date and week/month marking is required to determine when in 1969, but the housing has been...

    Direct Connection 727 shift kit

    The four-barrel linkage is originally a three piece setup. The main bracket from the four barrel setup won't fit with the Six Pack, and the other stuff would not line up. What is pictured look like the right 340 Six Pack setup. The upper part of the one piece rod to the transmission looks...

    The metal clips do a similar job as the hard rubber wedge blocks under the front windshield, to keep the glass from sliding downward.

However, for export applications, a block off plate was available. Chrysler called it a cover, part number 3656646. Chances of finding one new are...
