Inlet/outlet tubes
All good. I knew exactly what you meant.I couldn't think of a better word for some reason.. my brain is broken
I'm going to throw an alternator on the old girl this morning. The one on the car get's real noisy at times. It could be a bearing or brushes hanging up but it squeals pretty loud though. It seems to be charging ok. I replaced the alternator on my 66 Dart years ago just to make it look pretty and I kept the old one. I took it out of the box and spun it. It was noisy too.

May be tomorrow. I need to work outside the garage and I would rather not work in the rain.I'm going to throw an alternator on the old girl this morning. The one on the car get's real noisy at times.

Some do, but most don't.

Is there any difference, between cars with or without AC, on where the heater hoses come out of the firewall? I ask because on my 64, originally an AC car, the hoses come out low on passenger side.
I bought the chassis manual and it shows that they are upper drivers side.
Don't mean to side track your post Mike. Let me know if I should start a different thread

Probably the reason. No worries about a sidetrack. We talk about things and learn along the way. There may be a difference between Dodge and Plymouth. We may find out here.

Mike, you have to paint that air cleaner black. I hurts my eyes every time I see it (lol)
These are from a 64 fury. Both were leaking some. Any question PM me.
I dont want to jump in this thread.

Yes, there is a difference of heater hose routing between A/C and non-A/C cars. Normal heater-only is on drivers side, per post # 352. A/C cars had it on passenger side. The triangle-shaped embossment on the centre of the firewall is cut out for refrigerant lines on A/C cars.
I see only 1 pipe. Does the valve go in the big hole on the end?
Mike. Yes and a o ring on the valve end. You can change the valve by it self and not remove any other part of the heater. And makes it easier to line only one pipe if you are installing the heater box.
May be that's what started leaking on mine.
