For the record:
1. A RB harmonic balancer / damper from any big block that is internally
balanced, as was earlier stated , is the same. Find one, clean it off, bolt
it on, bolt your old pulleys on, be happy. Dont sweat it if its not the
same year etc etc....as your old one.
2. The chrysler starter was changed in 62 with the advent of the aluminum
case tflite. Napa or Lester ( old system here ) part numbers 3257 or 3258
will work., sometimes you find a " hi torque " version...its about 3/4 of an
inch longer than stock...its a bolt in. Do not worry about the year
etc...just enjoy it.
3. 99 times out of 100..the bulkhead connectors that feed the main power up
to the ammeter go bad. This is the cause of those mystery " everything dies
" symptoms. Remember...even with the key off, most of our cars should still
have power to the brake lights, head lights, lighters, and a few other
things. When this stuff is also dead..check the bulkhead connector , when
everything else seems normal.
Been there done that...these are common Mopar maladies.
Take care folks,
Mikey
