    courtesy lights - bench seat cars?

    NOT sure about your Dodge, but the map light on our '66 Newport Town Sedan WILL light up the whole front seat, door panel to door panel. Yep, that ONE little incandescent bulb, with a clear lens and clean reflector. DO read the Dealer Order Guides at www.hamtramck-historical.com to see where...

    No I was hoping to do it with the car in the air. Guess not. Still have to clean up the transmission mount/dropout, haven't put the bars in yet. I wonder if I can effectively tighten them without the weight of the motor in the car. Probably not. The lower ball joint stud is spinning too. I'll...

    courtesy lights - bench seat cars?

    Um, ya, I have a map light. But unless it's using a new high-powered LED it's not going to light up the whole front seat... So they only gave Fury's and VIP's these lights? Ah - wait. Looking at the '67 Monaco / Polara service manual, they make reference to (a) console courtesy lights, (b)...

    courtesy lights - bench seat cars?

    Chryslers could have map lights, which could come on with the dome lamp, or not, depending upon how the map light switch was positioned. Lit up the whole front seat.

    You don't tighten them until the wheels are on the ground and the torsion bars are set to the correct height. Until then they can be loose enough to allow the pin to rotate but tight enough to take up all the slack so they can't move in/out. At least that's what you're supposed to do when you...

    courtesy lights - bench seat cars?

    The 1968 Plymouth service manual, Fury and VIP section, show left and right courtesy lamps, they come off the same connector that has the backup switch, tach, and gear selector light. Where (physically) are these courtesy lamps located? Did any Chrysler model (Newport, New Yorker, 300) have...

    66 Newport Disc Brake Kit

    Just remember that 1969 thru April 1972 used the smaller wheel bearings, than the newer ones for 1973. The calipers are the same, but you must use the rotors for the year spindles you get.

    Cool, thx So just to get this straight, the 68-70 Charger handles are identical to the 4-door c-body ones, except for the insides?

    66 Newport Disc Brake Kit

    I agree that drums work really well once adjusted, you just get fade under hard driving :D On my 67 LeBaron I wanted to get rid of the Budd calipers, they are great when they work, I just couldn't keep them from leaking. I went with AAJ brakes in Portland Oregon. Roger is a Mopar guy and...

    courtesy lights - bench seat cars?

    "Footwell lights" are what I was talking about, as they are where the instrument panel and the kick panels meet. The LH cars had two map lights, in the overhead console area, as many recent cars do. No need for lights in the footwell area. CBODY67

    Mopar electrical weirdness. Temp gauge, Gas gauge, lights

    I have had the same issue on my 66 Polara 500 Convertible. I will try your solution in the spring when I take it out of the trailer. (notice my profile picture, we have dogs in common too)

    Getting the suspension fitted, but I have a problem: How do I tighten the LCA pivot pin? I have the polyerethane bushings and the whole pin just spins before it overcomes the lock nut. Do I have to have the car on the ground/weight on the bushing to do it?

    courtesy lights - bench seat cars?

    I've got a 67 Phoenix/Fury hardtop with the C-pillar lights and dash center map light. It's worth noting however, that the dashes for our Phoenixes appear to be RHD versions of the 66-67 Monaco dashes so not sure how much of the wiring matches that of the 67 Fury FSM.

    Wheel trim ring question, 69 Polara

    Pictures of the wheels help ID them! They may be 15x7 cop rims, which did not have trim rings. Who knows without seeing what you have? Cop rims.

    courtesy lights - bench seat cars?

    My '68 Fury III didn't come with them originally, but many years ago a friend was parting out a '68 VIP that did, so I took the lights and the pink and yellow wiring harness and installed them in my Fury. It is a nice option, especially getting in and out of the car at night.
