As always @amazinblue82 thank you for your advice. I continued down the wheel rabbit hole and am seeing there may be an issue with many of the aftermarket 15x7 magnum 500 wheels hitting the rather large budd disc brake calipers I have on my ‘68 300. Anybody out there have success with this. The...

I am ready to pull the trigger on some Magnum 500s. 15x7 5/4.5 pattern…. Would 4” backspacing work? I see most are 4.25”, but I found some 4” at a way better price.

I feel like I owe you all an apology for going silent on this thread (and site for that matter). Looks like you put up some great puzzles lately. I started a new job a few months back which rearranged my priority list a bit. Good luck with that commercial ad. Aside from me saying ‘somewhere...

This was my attempt at trying to offset my ‘carbon footprint’. Then when my oldest started driving, we added a Bolt EUV to the fleet. Never thought I would actually use all three bays of my garage. Not pictured is the F-150…. I like to think of the fleet as being ‘carbon neutral’. (And yes...

What happens when you reverse the order? Fill the cup to the edge then put some ice cubes in it?? I think that is the concept with sea levels going up. But I do get what you’re saying about putting the ice in first. I run that experiment almost every day around 6PM with some gin and tonic. :)

A little bit of adjusting with the column in Reverse and …. SUCCESS!! This pin feels way more secure than all the versions of the 3D printed versions I made. I think that metal center pin is the key.

But I was not going to take out the column, so I used my biggest Chanel lock pliers and it just barely fit…. Switch reinstalled:

The part came in this week. A rare rainy May day here so I went for it. The instructions call for removing the steering column because the metal pin needs to be tamped in (it is a tight fit).

Indeed! Looking good.

Just in case someone else stumbles across this thread looking for the extremely rare reverse light pin…. Found this on EBay. One heading my way today! NEW 1967-68 Mopar Reverse Lamp Switch Actuating Pin | eBay

With the way that wire is labeled, my guess is it is aftermarket. And being 10 gauge, my second guess is it was an attempt at the ammeter bypass. (Just guessing though). And when you say ammeter bypass, you can’t do it without tagging @cbarge

This is great to hear. Very satisfying indeed to get those reverse lights working again.

Great looking car. Congratulations!
