    Should I have used new unused plug wires that are 10 years old?

    Should be fine to use.

    That was close, but a number of the films it mentions were actually background images. However, it did acknowledge what I am saying, the 24 takes a back seat to the 17.

    I just thought of something. The B-24 was made in more quantity than the B-17, flew faster (even though lower) and had a heavier bomb load than the 17 too. Yet, sitting here, I can't think of a single WWII movie that features them. War Lover - 17; 12 O'clock High - 17; Memphis Belle...

    Spark plug confusion.

    Nothing but Champions in my American engines. Never have had a problem. I've used Bosch and NGK is some foreign engines I've owned.

    Spark plug confusion.

    Use the ones the specs call for.

    too lazy for torque specs

    No, no, do it correctly. If you ever need to remove them again you'll hate yourself for using that crap! My motto: Do a job right or don't do it at all.

    How to remove headrests?

    All right, I got them on! Sure enough, just a little pull upwards. The driver's side was a little tougher than the passenger. But now I really need to get my upholstery changed. These new headrests are so white they look out of place! So I'm back to searching for seat rubber! and... still...

    Introducing my new-to-me 1961 Newport.....and everything wrong with it.....erm...so far.

    Orange paint? In '62 they were blue or black. Here is a 413 xRam from a 1960 F:

    Introducing my new-to-me 1961 Newport.....and everything wrong with it.....erm...so far.

    Thanks. I sold it to Steve Hobby 20 years ago when I found my '70 Newport. The cross-ram was not offered in '62; the 300-H came with in-line manifolds, now that I think about it. Don't know why they dropped it that year as they were available again in '63. Whether that intake was available...

    Introducing my new-to-me 1961 Newport.....and everything wrong with it.....erm...so far.

    I see you have non-stock wheels on the car. If they are 14s as the originals were, that's probably where your "significant pulsation" is coming from. I had 14s on my '62 New Yorker. I put 14" Rallye Wheels on and got the same results you are having. Something about the backspacing of the...

    Epic Whoops thread.

    Perhaps he was practicing "Touch and go?" HA! The video took way too long to get to the punchline.

    Engines available in a '70 Newport.

    I have owned my ragtop for 20 years and I have never seen one in person. However, because of it, when I was having my license plate surround made, I had it say "440 Newport" instead of "Newport 440," just in case someone knew the difference. (Actually, it was my Son's suggestion as I was...

    Engines available in a '70 Newport.

    OK, that's... what I said. This looks like the page from my Data Book.

    How to remove headrests?

    Since I've bought new replacements, that might just work as I won't need them anymore.

    Engines available in a '70 Newport.

    I am aware of the Newport 440 model, but it does not appear in the Data Book. All through it only the three engines I mentioned are listed for Newport. However, the letter you posted is from December 1969, several months after this Data Book was written. The 440 and 300 Hurst were later...

    How to remove headrests?

    Thanks. I thought they just pulled out but I get quite the resistance. I'll do what Big John suggested. My parents bought a '71 Toyota Crown (Yes, I was fully embarrassed!) new. I liked what the front seats on it had. There was a "button" formed into the vinyl fabric of the seats on the...

    How to remove headrests?

    I was looking at my Newport this morning while the Bugman was spraying around my home. Knowing that I have all of the stuff to redo my interior, I decided to look in my FSM to see how the headrests are to be removed? Do I just pull them up? It said nothing!! Nothing in my 1975 Chilton's Book...
