    heater box

    I have no real idea about the valuation in today's market(s). To me personally, not much, as I have a good one in each car, and a couple on the shelf. It does have the broken areas, albeit mostly cosmetic from the pictures. The 2936622 part is reproduced. The condition of the core determines...

The assembly was built on Monday, September 13, 1971. 2936623 is the part number for the front part of the housing (toward the firewall), which was not a service part separately, but was part of the duct...

    70 challenger 383 radiator overflow question?

    The 1970 Challenger has an overflow tube from the nipple at the radiator cap opening, like other models. The tube just directs any overflow to the ground below the car. Except for limited release in some 1972 C-bodies, the cars of that era did not have a coolant recovery system, called coolant...

    340 Heads intake valves

    The intake valve seats do not need hardening, or hardened seats installed. The intake valves do not run hot enough to cause excessive wear that an exhaust valve can experience. The exhaust valves and seats run much hotter, so the "pounding" loads in operation can cause them to wear faster, or...

    340 Heads intake valves

    Chrysler introduced induction hardening of exhaust seats on the 1972 slant six engines. The process was phased into production throughout the year to all engines as processes were adjusted and equipment added. For 1973, all engines received induction hardened exhaust seats in the heads and...

    489 case

    Yes, the yokes can be swapped, with some considerations. As noted, most factory '489' differentials (full casting number 2881488 or 2881489) use the crush sleeve, which should be replaced and the crush reset when any parts replacement is performed. The yoke nut can be marked and the turns...

    Whats the difference please.

    The temperature operated vacuum by-pass valve, or thermostatic ignition control valve (TIC), was released for some 1973 engines, including the 340, typically based on region or accessories. The valve is used to reduce the possibility of engine over-heating under very high heat conditions. With...

    Whats the difference please.

    Intake manifold casting number 3671918, part number 3698656, is the original intake manifold used on 1973 340 engines. The suffix of "A" or "Z" on the casting number is a foundry reference and does not affect the function or application of the manifold. The "Z" suffix is on the earlier...

    360 - casting years confusing

    Block Casting number 4006830 is a 360 used 1976 - 1980. The listed engine number stamped below the left head, "W360116261" is incomplete. If not a typographical omission, the number might be mis-stamped, or lightly stamped or otherwise marred. The listed number denotes a 360 built at the...

    shackle bushings

    All of the listed numbers are rubber, or should be. Although Moog quality has been declining for years, the K7308 should be rubber as well, unless something has changed even more recently, or perhaps the plastic (urethane?) bushings are mispacked, or were substituted by someone.

    Does anyone know where this electronic choke control would have mounted on a 73 barracuda.

    The 1973 Plymouth/Chrysler/Imperial factory service manual is the primary reference for your car: When I got this set, they were still available from Chrysler for $10, but that is long gone. Look for them used, or possibly reprints. It is a two volume set. mymopar.com has service manuals for...

    Does anyone know where this electronic choke control would have mounted on a 73 barracuda.

    The wire from the electric assist heater element in the choke thermostat is insulated with two high temperature, woven fiberglass sleeves. One sleeve covered the wire conductor, and the other sleeve overlaps the first to cover the element connection. The wire and/or the sleeve can be replaced...

    Two output shaft, or sector shaft, sizes were used in 1962 - 1989 rear wheel drive car power steering gears (through 1993 in vans). A 1973 Challenger with power steering was originally equipped with a large sector shaft power steering gear, with matching large sector pitman arm. The different...
