I know we are supposed to trust aftermarket vendors' parts listings, but sometimes THEY are going on "hearsay evidence" themselves. Nor do they have the capabilities of researching their listings for accuracy, typically. So best for them to delete something rather than say it will work and it...

Recalling the threads in here on windshields, the difference is not with the Brand of C-body car, but the body style of the C-body car in the Slabs era. Meaning that Hardtops and Convertibles might be one part number and sedans and wagons the other part number. Then there is the Fast top which...

Just thinking, but for full-size Chrysler cars, I would suspect the major platform change (at least in body shapes and such) happened with the '63 cars, with the '62 and prior full-size cars being the same? Non-Imperial, that is. With the '63 full-size Plymouth and Dodges laying the groundwork...

It's the center section that looks like a 1972-era 15" wheel to me. All drum brake C-bodies were 14" prior to the Fuselage models. 15" wheels were only on disc brake C-body cars from '66-'68, when the 15" wheels were needed to clear the 4-piston disc brake calipers. CBODY67

Look in the FSM for what is in the place of the normal "blower motor resistor" that varies the fan speeds on the AT II system. Whatever there might be that does that will be between the inst panel blower switch and the motor itself. Not sure if that is a part of the AT II module or not. I...

It would take a LOT of wobble in the ps pump pulley to cause a shaking you could feel, much less not throw the belt. Some reman ps pumps whine as a seemingly normal situation. Get the car on a body-contact lift and have somebody sit in the driver's seat to work the transmission linkage with...

Generally, no adjustments on the BBD metering rods. A carb mixture issue will result in a slowly-wandering vac gauge needle. Something which is happening on one cyl will result in specific movements when the cyl fires. When you adjusted the valves, did one need more adjustment than the...

Considering how lengths can vary on an engine, continuity is a better issue to look for. Look at the different lengths in an inline 6, or a B/RB V-8, for example. After an hour or so gapping the plugs on our '66 Newport 383, I took it to the dealership and asked to get it hooked up to their...

On tape and in a long-obsolate computer language that takes the orig computer to read. On a computer that FEW people know how to operate any more. Nice recipe for "unobtainium". CBODY67

Reset the warning light on the instrument panel? Why did it come on in the first place? Dome light causing its fuse to blow? Must be a "short to ground". Does the fuse blow when the doors open and the light comes on or if you use the headlight switch to turn it on manually? There's a reason...

If you're getting that 10.0CR motor to run on what used to be 91 Research Octane fuel, when the old Regular was 94 Research Octane and Premium was 100 Research Octane. You're not doing too bad. Especially when the old Premium the RB engines were designed for was 97 Research Octane and later 100...

AND, the hydroboost system would work on any prior Chrysler product, I suspect. Main issue would be underhood space relating to spark plug changes, but with Double-platinum or Iridium plugs, not so much after the initial spark plug install. Enjoy! CBODY67

As your carburetor is a "multi-fit" aftermarket carb, it can probably work with ported or manifold supply to the vac advance can. Although the engine was originally designed for ported vacuum. What vac level does it produce on ported vacuum? Any off-idle hesitations or flat-spots with it on...

The Leeds system MIGHT work well for some other brands of cars, but the track record for C-body Chrysler vehicles is poor at best. As documented in many threads in here over the past years. ONE thing to consider is that if a big box national hot rod parts place sells it, does NOT mean its a...

Yes, those figures WERE in such reports AND in their procurement records, but where are those records now? That is the issue. Like any production facility, they need "file cabinet drawer" space and clean things out every so often as a normal matter of course. When that happens, it's...

The loose carb nuts could have resulted in a rougher idle, but no fuel smells, typically. Interesting how much oil was on the valley pan.

I suspect there ARE some known records of production of E-body cars and maybe B-body cars. Reason? There have been known information as to, for example, how many 1970 'Cuda convertibles with 440s that got white billboard quarter panel decals. Somebody has those records and can/could determine...

I believe the issue is not only the upper layer of "finish vinyl", but also the foam under it dries out and shrinks, too. At this point in time, about the only thing you can do is get one of the carpet "dash protectors" and lay on top of the existing pad. I'm not sure where to get one, though...

Definitely, a GREAT bunch of pictures of GREAT cars! I never cease to be amazed at the following Chrysler C-body cars have in Europe AND the quality of their restorations/refurbishments! Many of them looking like they could have driven right out of a sales brochure. Thanks for taking the...

I never had any issues with Champion plugs, but that was when Champion was Champion. Yes, they DO work in Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engines, which is where I used my old Champions from past times after a few re-gaps and electrode filings. J-14Y, J-14Y, and J-12Y. Just that they are longer...
