    Do C bodies use the same outside mirrors as other MOPAR bodies?

    This side-by-side pillar was indeed for the Imperial. The twin pillar for the Fury was one pillar in front of the other. Although in catalogs, I have never seen them on the cars. I reviewed some photos of Furies for sale today and they all had single pillar ones.

    I have searched all over for these trim clips!

    And have not found them, or a suitable substitute. They hold narrow trim strips outside of the windows on my 1965 Plymouth Fury III. They measure about 18mm long and 7mm wide. In the photo, you can see one intact, and another broken off with the peg inside the hole.

    What is the secret to durable engine painting?

    I had my 1965 Fury in the restoration shop for some work. While it was there, the reputable shop painted the valve covers and some sort of paint on the exhaust manifold before putting it back together After about a year of running it is peeling off in patches. I guess the only durable coating...

    Do C bodies use the same outside mirrors as other MOPAR bodies?

    Thanks. The damaged one on my 1965 looks like the Match-mate. Guess that twin-pillared one not pictured on this page began to be offered in 1966. But I might go rogue and put it on my 1965. Never seen one that resembles the conical on any Mopar. Must not have been popular. Funny thing in one...

    Do C bodies use the same outside mirrors as other MOPAR bodies?

    Thanks for this, although it is mainly about 66s. There are tons of mirrors repros available online market '66. What changed after 1965? One of the '66 single post mirrors look exactly like the one on my 1965 Fury. Sure don't want to have differing mirrors on either side!

    Do C bodies use the same outside mirrors as other MOPAR bodies?

    I needed to replace the driver's side mirror on my 1965 Plymouth Fury III, and would like to add a passenger side mirror at the same time. 1. I see plenty of reproduction mirrors advertised for sale for A and B bodies, but none for C bodies. Do all body styles share the same outside mirrors...

    At LAST! A REAL Custom Seat Cover Maker, with GOOD Product!

    The question is how easy are they to remove when we want to display the car in her full glory at a car show. I want something that is not too hard to remove.

    Intermittent headlights all of the sudden

    I don't understand. I don't have a cell phone. How do I contact an address with @ in front of it?

    Intermittent headlights all of the sudden

    BOTH problems occurred. No instrument lights, AND headlights turn on and then go off. I will check the dimmer switch, but I can't imagine that getting plugged and unplugged. And I am sure it has nothing to do with the dash lights. But thanks for the tips!

    Intermittent headlights all of the sudden

    When I took my 1965 Plymouth Fury over to a mechanic's house last winter, everything worked more or less OK, except a rough idle. That was the thing I wanted worked on. The mechanic got busy doing other things, and the car was left sitting outside for about 9 months. When I picked it up, there...

    Where is the Turn Signal flasher on 1965 Fury?

    Yeah, but it does not work, so I cannot locate it by sound. I can remove the ash tray. That will provide a portal up under the dash. Guess I will go with an electronic blinker. That way I can go with LEDs or incandescent bulbs.

    Where is the Turn Signal flasher on 1965 Fury?

    Thanks. I will look there. With factory A/C there is so much junk under the dash it is hard to find things. Wanted to take the clock, radio, and heat/A/C control out for rebuilding, but I am not willing to tackle that. Do need the turn signal, however. How strange that in the factory manual it...

    Where is the Turn Signal flasher on 1965 Fury?

    Don't think you understand. The new bulbs don't need an external flasher? How does the bulb know when you need the break light and when you need the bulb to flash for the turn signal? The problem is my current bulbs are good, but just do not flash because of a broken turn signal flasher. Think...

    What is the best valve cover material?

    These darn old V-8 engines (mine a 383) are always leaking oil. Most common place is out the valve covers. My valve cover gaskets were replaced not to long ago with cork gaskets. Do rubber gaskets seal appreciably better?
