Thanks Wally, I just wanted to gain more info before the words fly. Say hello to Cory.

My 66 W300 (with a early 80's 318 engine) has developed an oil leak at the rear main seal. Is this the same seal used in all 318 engines used up throught the years and what is involved in the replacement?

Found the problem to be bad grounding (engine block to voltage reg.) We sometimes tend to over look the simpler things.

Thanks to all who responded.

After reassembly of 66 W300 318 I have noticed that the battery seems to be pushing out acid from the vent holes. I have not checked voltages at the battery yet but was wondering where to start first. On initial start up each time--ammeter pegs in the charge position and after 15 sec. or so drops ba...

Thanks to everyone for your help---found the front signal circuit and all is working well

I have been reassembling my 64 W300 and installed and wired the front/rear turn signals as they were previously. (I thought) Front signals are mounted on each front fender (1 wire each) and rear signals are tail-stop/turn. Both left and right turn signals work as needed along with all other lights b...

After reading all of the posts regarding the fuel/temp. gauge issues, I am preparing to build a limiter like discussed usuing the (7805 and 7808) limiters with a heat sink for my 64 W300. Should the fuel gauge first receive 12v on the 12v input terminal of the gauge from the 7808 resistor and then c...

I see Mopar limiters for sale on ebay. Will any of these work for the fuel/temp. gauage issues listed in this post? Can anyone provide a schematic to install?

That is correct---just the blades. My origional ones are stainless with the rubber blade attached. Measure 12"

Looking for a pair of stainless 12" wiper blades for my 66 W300. Are there any suppliers out there?

Thank you

I,m preparing to assemble the front sheet metal on a D300. Would it be best to mount the radiator support 1st. and then the fenders? Or fenders 1st.? Followed by the hood last. Everything has been painted and hope for as little paint damage as possible.

Thank you

I am searching for door locks for both doors and keys for a 1966 Dodge D/W 300. Does anyone have any in their parts bins from a parted truck?

Thank you

I have a question regarding the headliner in my 66 W300: I have chosen a material to use for the headliner but I am in question as to what to use as a backing that will go against the roof metal? I was thinking about using a glue like liquid nails for the material to some kind of backing. Has anyone...

Thanks John,

I needed a good basis to start with. Your and any information will be helpful.

Just installed a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and slave cylinder on my 1966 W300. After reading the service manual, it seems a little vague. Where is the first place to start with the adjustment? How much adjustment/free-play should I have at the release leaver on the bell housing a...

Does anyone know of a source for replacemet windshields? Need one for my 66 W300.

Thank you

I am searching for a NOS or very good origional rubber floor mat for my 1966 W300. Can anyone help.

Thank you

I have a bench seat out of a 1965 D300. It has a tear on the drivers side from sliding in and out but the rest of the seat is ok. I'm in Carlisle Pa.

I am trying to find mirror arms/brackets that mount at 3 locations on each door. Mounts at 2 places below the door windows and 1 ahead of the vent window. These were used on D/W200-300 trucks.

Thank you
