This weekend I removed the carburetor and gave it a good cleaning. It was time. Unfortunately, I ran into a snag. The accelerator pump op-rod took flight into another dimension, probably to hang out with everyone's missing 10 mm sockets. I have a couple parts carburetors coming and maybe...

I have a pair of Trico wiper arms for sale that were removed from a 1966 Polara. They'd probably fit other slabbies too. Spring tension is good. 20 bucks, includes freight in the continental US.

I don't know about the backspacing, but the rims fit perfectly. The fronts are 14x6 Ansen sprints drilled in a 4.5 bolt pattern. Tires are 225/70/14 Rears are 15x7.5 ET unilugs with 255/60/15s. Most of the rake is from the rear tire diameter and the 1" arched ESPO springs.

I will miss both him and Rip. :(

Offers? Please PM.

Love, LOVE these tires! So quiet compared to the Hankooks! Better handling and a better ride! Almost no air in the shocks. Rake is from tire diameter and springs.

I'm looking for a used pair of manual seat adjusters for the driver's side bucket on a 66 Polara. Part #s should be 2583139 for the inner and 2583141 for the outer. I hadn't checked with what's his name out east yet. but I thought I'd throw it against the wall.

I used to have information on a company that rebuilt power seat assemblies for older cars. Unfortunately, I've lost it. Anyone? Thanks!

Nice ride! Welcome to the madness!

A new look for 2025. Miz Ruby's alter ego Ms. Rue. 255/60/15s out back on ET 15x7.5 rims and 225/70/14s on 14x6 Ansen rims up front.

I'm not sure what one would want on a four door I ordered ESPOs with the 1-inch lift. As installed the rear was about two inches over where the car sat with the worn-out springs. It took about 2 or 3 weeks for it to settle. I run 30-35 lbs. in my air shocks (the minimum is 25) and I'm happy...

Good call as usual sir :). I (ahem) "assumed" that this weight was as tested in a road test. I don't believe 3100 lbs would be on the front end of the car. They have a Sema 5-1 stamp. I know that they've been used, and to have survived so long with without failing may be a testament in...

When I purchased my '66 Polara convertible, I procured a set of vintage aluminum slot wheels to install on it one day. That day will arrive shortly. However, before it does, I thought I'd check one last thing. Hindsight 20/20 and all that. I want to discuss load weights. The wheels for the...
