I'm looking to purchase a set of the reproduction chrome Magnum 500s in the 15x7" size and with the correct profiles - yes, I know neither the 15" diameter or 7" width are original to any Mopar and would have been a Ford option originally, but I want to fill up the wheel well a little more while...
I'm not sure about other sources for new, but I would not rule out a good used set for this particular part and I think I personally would prefer that route myself. The problem with new ones is that while they may be new, are they made with the same exact steel specifications as the original or...
The block should have the VIN stamped into it if it's from that vintage and that will tell you what it came out of. I'm not sure where that was stamped in 1977; maybe someone can chime in here. Otherwise, check the top of the block near the oil pressure sensor or down along both sides of the...

I concur with the wheel lip molding statement above. You also could have them re-anodized as there are places that will do that, but you would need a super nice set without corrosion to start with.
Just to help with your search results, these wheels are called "road wheels". Rallye wheels were offered on the muscle cars and are a different wheel. Good luck with your search!

With having swapped as many parts as you have, it seems to be something in the assembly of that particular wheel as opposed to a part issue. You mentioned you installed two different brands of hardware, but are all of the hardware components (springs, adjuster wheel, etc.) installed in the...
There are only a couple of battery manufacturers for most of the automotive battery brands sold in the US. The ones made by Johnson Controls used to be really good quality and we personally always got good life out of those. We were loyal buyers of our local Farm and Fleet brand that were...
My $0.02 - wheels alone will greatly change the attitude of the car and are easily swapped again later. I'd start with just the wheels, drive it a bit so you can evaluate how you're feeling about it, and go from there. I would do white letter tires for sure, paired with black 15" steel wheels...
My work schedule for the weekend is still tbd, but my dad and I are tentatively planning to come down in the 1966 Fury III survivor that I had desperately attempted to have ready for last year's show.
I also have parts for the following cars if anyone needs something and wants to message me...
Sometimes you have to prime a new pump a bit. I usually like to pull the feed hose off and squirt in a little wd-40 or something. That gives it some liquid inside to help start the pump/vacuum draw.
