I'd like to get some emblems like those for my Magnum 500's. My wheels are great, but the caps don't all match!
-
From what I've gathered, it was used from 73 to 76, at least. Luckily, I don't need one but it was just bugging me that I couldn't find any information on it.
-
The answer to this question is: FALSE!
With the help of some Mopar guys, we think we have found the right wiper switch! Don't expect to find a replacement at your local FLAPS, though.
It's from a 1972 AMC Matador or Ambassador.
If anyone would have one, I imagine it would be Dan Booth.

I had the same problem last year and figured it was a heat soak problem. I bought a newer, smaller, permanent magnet starter here and haven't had a single problem since.
-
I had mine apart a couple weeks ago, and it turned out to be bad wiring and not the switch, but out of interest I tried to find a suitable replacement. This is as close as I could find, and the back of the switch is identical to mine. The knob is different and there isn't a washer button that I know of, though.

And this is one is comparable and much cheaper. I was thinking of buying one "just in case"!

Turquoise? Just grasping at straws now.
-
In 1973 the Avanti II used a wiper switch from a Chrysler Imperial. True of False?
(I have a selfish reason for asking this...)
-
At some point you have to give us the correct answer!
-
The next question is: who has done this and does it help? Mine is down low and I hate it.
-
Red.
-
Well that isn't pretty! I suppose at some point I'll have to pull them apart just to have a look.
-
I hadn't heard that one. I guess I better check my crossmember for cracks!
-
I just swapped all my old gauges for new S/W gauges last year. I put this speedometer in and it works just fine. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sww-550bp-d
My original one was a 160 mph gauge, but I don't think it's range has anything to do with how it's calibrated. My new one is just as accurate as the old one, maybe better!
-
I'd have to guess a Galaxy, it's a pretty good sized unit.
-
My 73 most certainly came with a 400 motor and the TH400 transmission, which I think lasted until at least 1976, maybe till 79? I know the 1980 model had a 350 motor and by 82 they were using the 305.
-
OK, I'll bite; seems plausible to me. Although as I recall it was the late 70's when they reached their production high point?
-
Good, glad to hear you solved the problem!
-
The distribution block/proportioning valve is similar (or perhaps identical) to a late 60's (69 or later, I think) Mustang or the Mustang II. You can probably use whatever you can find from a front disc/ rear drum car in that era if you can make the plumbing work. I think there are some photos floating around here on the forum that I posted of mine, and I believe a couple others have posted also.
Mine is a 73, so it could be slightly different than yours was originally, but I can supply some pictures if you need them. If you're not worried about staying original, there are some good aftermarket options, too.
-
I do watch Jeopardy on a regular basis and wish I would have known you would be on it, since I have no idea what you look like and I assume Billy Shears isn't your real name. My hat is off to you for even qualifying to be on that show. I'm usually lucky to correctly answer more than a handful of questions on any given night, and I don't have the pressure of having a TV camera on me while I race to squeeze a buzzer!
-
I like the sign, but I have something different in mind than Warren & Tracey's Finest for the WTF.
I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.
-
I decided to make this sign up with a good friend of mine (Tracy) after a few conversations we had about our automotive adventures. I think you'll be able to relate!
As we always say, what could go wrong?

I'd be curious to hear, too. If it works, it would be a much cheaper alternative it seems.
-
I have no experience with that system, but it looks like that probe is designed to be inside of something. Either the radiator or the overflow tank?
-
Nice work as usual, Tom!
Appliance Wheels?
in 1984-91 Avanti

The last picture of the emblems looks like more of a solid, glossy plastic piece that a sticker. That's what I'd like to find!
