I need exhaust hanger brackets for a '75 Dart, and would like a few sets of kickdown/throttle/choke thermostat linkage clips. What is the best source?

I just saw that the local Advance "Help" section had packs of such things - probably there are better sources, but less convenient.

Use new style exhaust hangers (round rod tack welded to pipe or muffler, rubber bushing bracket at floor pan).

Dorman and Echlin sell multi-packs of the clips.

Those clip packs do not have the small clips for the choke rod. Just went threw that. I haven't been able to find the small clip in a parts store. Found one on a old carb. That clip is still available from the dealer, but I can't find the part number, right now.

The ones I've bought always have — and I wind up with a bunch of other-size clips I can't use. You can get the correct clip individually, too; Dorman # 118-005 or 118-025 depending on whether you need the RH or LH variety for the 1920/BBS/W or for the 1945/6145 (don't have which is which in front of me).

I stand by my statement. The part numbers you list (which are the smallest in the "multi pak", are for a 5/32 inch rod. The slant six choke rod is 1/8 inch. It might be made to work, but will not fit properly.
The correct clip is Chrysler part number 2465560 which is superseded by 4041917

I just went through this about 2 weeks ago. Customer bought a 76 Valiant for his daughter, and I had to replace a missing choke t-stat.

Okeh. They work for me.

That's for the 1945/6145? Or for the others?
