Re: Power Wagon Fuel Economy

My W200 crew has a fresh Magnum 5.2, with sequential injection, a518 with OD and lock up, with 4.10 gears. Does the same as my 71 with a worn 400, a727, and 3.73 gears. 10 mpg.

Only thing I have seen where anyone was doing drastically different was with a diesel swap.

Yeah, it was a little unnerving drilling all those holes in the firewall after I had coated it!

Re: 1969-1971 Factory A/C into a non-A/C pickup

Forgot to mention:
1 is cable for water valve
2 is vacuum lines
3 & 4 are AC lines
5 & 6 are water lines
7, 8 & 9 are mounting studs
10 & 11 are drain lines

Re: 1969-1971 Factory A/C into a non-A/C pickup

Best bet really is to get a hold of a factory firewall and trace the holes to make a template. As I recall on my 70, none of the factory holes for the heat only firewall were used on the AC system. However, the Heater only water hose and mounting holes are present on an AC firewall, so they make goo...

Re: Looking at an M105A2 trailer, anyone familiar with these

I found some info today on olive-drab.com which looks like the 105 box is about a foot larger in width and length. That would probably account for the extra weight. I do like the idea of surge brakes, so I can use with a vehicle without electric brakes.

Looking at an M105A2 trailer, anyone familiar with these?

Ever since I got my 70 W200 I thought it would be neat to have a similar vintage trailer. I recently found out about one fairly close that seems to be pretty solid and priced good as well. It is supposedly a '65 from the National Guard, easy life. My understanding is the 105 means 1-1/2 ton, A2 mean...

Re: Blaster 2 coil

Agreed.

I had just this discussion with Rick Ehrenberg, the tech editor from Mopar Action a few years ago.
He says the ignition box requires the requisite 7v the ballast provides, and will have a short life at 12v.

Re: 1971 Crew cab question

If the thought is to build it for profit, odds are seriously stacked against you.

If you are looking to flip it, or part it, there will be people interested in keeping their projects alive.

The 1 ton crew cabs are fairly rare, but that doesn't usually monetize.

Re: Transmission is toasted...need ideas

A 518 can be installed fairly easily, but will open up other issues, and require lower gears. I have one in my 70 crew. Although, doesn't the slant 6 use a different bell housing? That would be a deal breaker. I would recommend a Trans-Go kit as well. Installed one in the 518, really like! It also e...

The drive shaft was probably spinning. Put it in gear and the other tire will probably spin then.

Re: spice 60 rear vent

As mentioned that is the vent, and hold the brake tee. And they do clog up. They also can snap if you get rough with them, or the threads are corroded! So proceed cautiously. They are pretty easy to clean with a stiff wire and pipe cleaners.

Re: Power Steering Conversion

The flat Trailgear piece is the way to go!
They aren't clocked, so you can install at any position you want.

I then had to drill out the drag link hole on mine and bolted it to a heim joint, rather than fiddle around trying to find a ball-stud to fit.

Re: Vented gas cap

The non vented tanks require a vented cap. The caps should be vented one way, so they don't build a vacuum and collapse the tank (seen it happen!) A properly working vented cap will still allow pressure to build in the tank. Why the pressure builds is a different issue. I have been chasing a pressur...
