Re: Automatic Overdrive Unit.

Daniel. To be perfectly honest, everything has a cyclic life span. and yes it would be better to disable the automatic overdrive in town. As you well know the parts are getting a little difficult to find. I would definitly share some of my Mopar training manual information with you. I will scan the ...

Re: Automatic Overdrive Unit.

Being in the trade for way to many years , I guess I should inform you that the overdrive units Chrysler used in their vehicles were indeed automatic and incorporated electronic controls in addition . By pulling the handle you disabled the automatic and locked out the o/d. A slider locked the ring g...

Automatic Overdrive Unit.

I just was checking if there were any good used automatic overdrive units for sale? I have thrown these away and now find I may have tossed mine! I have found many junk non-useable units, that are not even repairable. If you need help with yours I have lots of resources for operation and maintenance...

I will also bring over the extra ea...

Re: old discussion on AC brackets on B/RB motors

John, Looking at your bracketry for the A/C, it is very impressive. I think this system would allow you to install a shaker and the dual four barrel system . If you can purchase a template for cutting your hood; I have the rest for a shaker system from a wrecked Hemi Challenger .Wow whatever you do...

Re: Crank case vent gases

Just a bit of information. Direct Connection sells a pcv system that is identical to the originals, with the cap and everything, look in their restoration parts. I used a 1960 carb with the pcv connection on it just adding the correct length of 3/8 fuel line or pcv line.. or you could use your origi...

Re: Colorado Belvedere Convertible progressing

John, Wow, I do know how much work you have going on for yourself. Just keep up the good work and don't get discouraged. Believe me the 413 in the place of the 361 is a great improvement in torque/ horsepower and not bad fuel economy. especially at the 5000 foot plus elevation in Colorado . Let me k...

Re: Engine running uneasy

Eddie, From your discription of your problem; I think your float level needs to be checked and make sure the needle seat or seats are tight against the gasket rings and that they do seal the fuel. There are two floats inthe AFB carburetor. I believe you will find this to be the cause of your driveab...

Re: Replacing intake manifold gaskets

Roger, I will tell you what I know about the B and RB foil and fiberglass pad . The early B engines have a couple of problems. air passing under the manifold lost a lot of heat duriong cold weather driving conditions. The pad retains heat under the manifold, and keeps undesireable things from cookin...

Re: Replacing intake manifold gaskets

Roger, The exhaust gas crossover and early fuel evaporation control valve or heat riser is entirely for driveability in cold weather driving and cold start units with automatic choke units. Again I was trying to stay out of the deep end of the pool where all the bodys are. The latent heat of the vap...
