Yes, I saw that in the FSM. These are rough. One is barely squeaking a sound out, others . . . . nothing. Going to try MGM1986's suggestion. If that doesn't work I'll crack the rivets off and look inside. Learn, learn, learn.
Yeah I have trim tools, but my door card is in pretty rough shape, soft from moisture, and I was REALLY hoping not to have to pull it. Guess I will though.
Thanks all.
Not necessarily: according to the info on the Hamtramck Registry Library, an E6XW interior (black dash/steering wheel/floor, white everything else) was available on the 1970 Newport 'verts and looks to match what I see in the ad.
Perhaps the commenter "on the web" might have desired to see Torrington Bearings instead of mere thrust washers? At least, as a wear item, as a thrust washer wears, protecting the surfaces it wears against, it just allows more shaft movement. Any bearing, as it wears, usually stops turning...

This is exactly what I did for my '68 300. My horns barely made any sound. After turning the adjustment screws in and out a few times they started to work. After doing this a bit they now work fine. Be gentle and don't force it.
Unfortunately the Sneaky Pete did not work to remove the upper half of the rear main seal (it is a rope seal). It would only screw in about half way before seemingly bottoming out. I removed the rear crank cap to improve access but still unable to get the old seal out.
I am now planning to...
I came across a comment posted on the web along the lines of the 727 having a lot of loaded thrust washers, hinting that maybe other transmissions (or modern transmissions) don't have that? One of the outcomes of that being that it's bad for oil (I guess causing oil shear, reducing oil life...
Yes I was there both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was participant judging. Sunday was judging was by points which was better. The amount of attention generated was enormous. Saturday I had a more than a steady stream of admires. The same in a fewer number Sunday. Top the weekend off w/ a first...
