Painting the steering wheel would probably hold in the smell. Jeff

Probably. The plastic is breaking down. The plastic cargo compartment panels on my '72 Monaco wagon are doing this, and ebods is exactly correct, smells just like human BO. Like a smelly old vagrant has been living in the car for months, in the heat of the summer. I've also seen this on some...

I think it's the light bulb for the cruise control. Jeff

Doesn't say if it's for a coupe or 4 door, but certainly worth checking out. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2047787505639066/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Aad8e49e4-14ac-4218-b814-a08672cf2f96 Jeff

After some more searching, it's hard to believe that I don't have some of those hood bars laying around somewhere. I took a look at the parts manual, and the roller was only available with the bar as an assembly. That makes it very likely that the end of the bar was swaged or crimped to keep...

Wagons use the same wheels, rotors, etc. as other cars. Sounds like you got parts that weren't properly machined. Jeff

Your Imperial should have a dual diaphragm booster, so that will swap in fine. You won't be able to use the pedal assembly. You may be able to swap the Imperial pedal onto the 300 pedal support. The only way to know would be to try it. Jeff

No dice last night on the bars. I have one more place that I can look on Wednesday. I'm 95% sure that I have them somewhere. Jeff

Just in case it's not covered in the other discussions. I believe that if you have 14" rims and want to keep them, you're only choice will be the Scarebird kit. Jeff

I took a look last night and couldn't see anything since the roller is up against the track bracket. I may have a loose torsion bar in my parts collection that I can look at. I'll see if I can find it tonight when I get home. Jeff

1971 and newer cars came equipped with a large diameter, single diaphragm booster with disc brakes, which can be used on earlier cars. The dual diaphragm booster is needed on slab cars to clear the shift linkage on the column. The booster in question is the '71 and up disc booster. Since his...

I'll try to remember to take a look at one tomorrow to confirm for sure. Jeff

Nice! The car looks great in the bottom photo. Drag racing full size cars was standard practice in the early sixties, but it's quite a niche thing these days. Jeff

I usually pull the pitman arm off the steering box, and as Dave said, unbolt the idler from the frame. Then you're not beating up the pivot joints to get them separated. You can push the whole deal forward as the front wheels turn out. Jeff

I agree. Amazing work! Jeff

I think they're held on by one of these...

Maaco is one of the few places that I know of that will paint a car that's been prepped by the owner. I've seen some pretty nice jobs done this way, but you have to find the right location and make sure the right guy does the job. The Maaco in Montgomeryville, PA. is supposed to be a good...

Chrysler took a page out of the GM design book on that one. GM loved to make you remove the right side wheelhouse to get to HVAC parts going back to the early 1960's, even on cars that only had a heater. I've got the wheelhouse out of a 1963 Impala at work right now to get access to the A/C...

Now that you've started this thread, if you scroll all the way down you'll see 4 threads on disc brakes. I would check those out and see if they answer any of your questions. Jeff
