I am trying to get the headlight doors to function on my 73 Dodge Monaco. I have a few motors & extra relays. I figured a 73 Chrysler 300 motor & relay would be the same however the motor didn’t work. I bought a 69 Imperial motor (for $150) & it wouldn’t take the headlight bar so I switched the white plastic parts from the 73 Monaco to the Imperial: the motor works but doesn’t open the doors. Must they be adjusted somehow? I switched the relays as well: 73 300 to 73 Monaco. I have one…

Are all 69-73 headlight motors/relays the same?

I have one that doesn’t seem to fit my 69 Superbee. I know its a 69 Charger from the original seat material on it. One guy told me it IS different but nobody else seems to know including eBay sellers. Perhaps it can be altered to fit? If it is greatly different Id be happy to trade it for the correct one! 😉

I have been a member of the sister site cbodiesonly for many years: so I don’t feel exactly “NEW”. I like all MoPar classics & own several. This is my Jane Dirt project except all the drivetrain is new. Rebuilt 383 engine, rebuilt 4 speed trans which is numbers matching & a 3.55 posi rear.

NEW in VA w/69 Superbee pics

Hi, I am new here & just posted a few pics 11/12/17 of my project under: NEW in VA….

medium blue front arm rests,
a blue dash,
a blue under column piece,
blue kick panels, etc.
ANY decent blue Rallye padded dash parts would be great as well.
I look on eBay regularly but don’t want to pay $100. for two armrests! I’m willing to pay a fair price however & would prefer good used. I have lots to trade as well. Located in the Roanoke VA area. I sell stuff on eBay under the ID:…

Need med blue interior parts for 69 Superbee

Here is what I know: I purchased a new MEVOTECH MK7041 idler from Rockauto. Before I installed it the old one looked fine but was allowing the top of the inner ball joint to rub against the torsion bar. I have half a dozen old idlers from 68-69 b-bodie…

Swaping a bad 400 with a 440 in my 73 Monaco 2dr. In 72 they used a Holley 4 barrel. In 73 its a Thermoquad. Should I go with the factory type or Holley? What issues will I come up with trying to keep the correct vacuum lines? Anything else? I don’t know much about the Thermoquad.
