Not sure how common it is, or was, but it was available over the dealer's parts
counter.
BTW Chrysler was pushing the "Chrysler Parts" name more prominently than "MOPAR"
from about '66-'72. In Canada, they used the name "ChryCo Parts". I remember
the distinct feeling they were trying to phase the MoPar name out (it only
appeared on our '68's battery), but they got back behind it in a big way when
the '73 models were introduced, and it's been with us ever since. A small
victory for tradition, and for us enthusiasts.
