Inlet hose definitely says 02... Battery number hard to read the 2nd number but as far as I know i cant se it being anything else other than 66...

most of them ARE the last digits of the "assembly" part number - sometimes the assembly part number is NOT a purchasable part listed in a Parts Catalog

if your broadcast sheet "INLET HOSE" is definitely  "02" it's either a typo or there is another hose part number ending in "02"

got pics of your sheet?

upper radiator hose #3462 102 was replaced by #3780 662 (possibly during the '74 model year)

BATTERY looks like a typo "6(" - "(" is uppercase/shift "9" which would be the 70 amp/hr group 27 battery #3755 069 (OPTIONAL F25)

but that doesn't make sense with your F24 in the "HEAVY DUTY FLEET" section

"66" makes a little more sense: the 55 amp/hr group ? battery #3755 066 (I'll "ASSUME" group 24, 375cca)

I have a couple '74 360 Challenger b'cast sheets coded "F24" & "66" for battery - I think this is the STANDARD 360 4bbl battery

Your STEERING COLUMN is 355X97000

3 = for b-body
5 = for automatic transmission
5 = for floor shift
X9 = painted BLACK
7 = for power steering
0 = w/o shift indictor light
0 = w/o cruise control
0 = w/o ignition key lamp

Where did you get the original # for the upper hose? Also, where did you look to get the info for the steering column breakdown?

Thanks.

the 3462 102 upper hose is listed in the September '72 version of the 1973 Parts Catalog
the 3780 662 upper hose is listed in the April '74 version of the 1974 Part Catalog (it is listed as a new part number not listed previously)

part numbers can change in the Parts catalogs before, during, or after the actual change takes place on the factory floor

the steering column decode was reverse engineered by "C O D Y" as he built the 1970 e-body Broadcast Sheet decoder on e-bodies.org

QuoteW87 = 14x6.0"  wheels - Chrysler didn't put any G70-14s on 5.5" wheels

What's the correct wheel number that the spoke covers would go on? 3580068?

per GG's "white book":

3580068 is a 14x6.0" "RALLYE" wheel

3461954 is a 14x6.0" steel wheel (1972 b-body)
3580060 is a 14x6.0" steel wheel (1972-'74 b-body)
3621954 is a 14x6.0" steel wheel (1972-'74 b-body)

:shruggy: not sure why 3 are listed or which would be correct  :icon_smile_question:

74magnum

Me neither... says "60" under wheels on the broadcast so I'll assume the 3580060 is correct... but I've seen it stated that they're all the same other thank numbers/date codes... at least that my understanding.... for wheels I'm not picky so if "60's" don't surface then I'll look for any of the other ones that are the same i guess.

Found out what "00" means under the spare tire. Apparently same as road wheel.

I've learned some things following this topic. My 74 Charger Ralley has a B5 blue exterior and a blue interior which I always believed was S1B6 looking at color charts. However, the carpet-mat color on the broadcast sheet, 5th row,  is typed as B7 for the color. Is this correct and what is the color called?
Thanks.

a blue/green/tan/etc. interior is going to have more than one shade of color - the darker B7 carpet is probably correct for your B6 cloth & vinyl bench interior

Well I've found 1 "60" wheel. Stamped by valve stem. M34 5 13 penstar 3580060. I assume that M34 is motor wheel plant 3 year 1974 and the 5 and 13 correspond to month and day? So May 13th 1974.
