    hot start problems on 65 imp

    I have basically the same issue with a really stout battery and insulated mini starter. It cranks fine but takes a bit to fire. Went over everything twice and came to the conclusion the real problem is the **** gas being produced these days. Today's fuel is blended for closed systems using...

    Animals

    Here's my best friend and 2001 Christmas present. He's American bulldog with a touch of beagle. Kinda looks like Alice Cooper after applying makeup without a mirror. Everywhere I take him or if he's at the passenger window of my truck he draws attention especially from females. Don't know why -...

    My 1965 Plymouth Fury 3

    Here's a pic of my ride less all the side trim and fender jewelry so you can get an idea of how they look this way.

    Exhaust headers, Manafolds

    I installed TTI's all inclusive exhaust 5 years back - still look like new. They keep the heat under the hood down quite a bit because the ceramic is coated inside and out. Before installing aluminum heads I was seriously bitched at the mounting holes on my iron heads because the bolt holes went...

    speedometer

    This is just one of the reasons I am redoing my dash panel with Auto Meter electronic speedo. For some reason ( which can't be resolved with a new cable, gear and thorough cleaning of the speedo mechanism ) the speedo bounces every now and then at different speeds. It's not accurate and I can...

    From the land down under

    Nice! Really nice! You buff out the paint and polish it and it'll look spectacular. We share everything in cars except the tail and grill. I have a Fury and every other year I change grills ( 65 to 66 and vise versa ) just to throw the spectators into an argument about the year of car.

    Variety of Questions

    First off, copper and brass do not go brittle with time - I know, I've been a plumber since 1974. Get in touch with someone who really knows how to solder and remove the upper tank. Have the mating surfaces cleaned well and tinned. Remount the tank and solder properly. All you really need is...

    Seeking carburetor opinions

    Junk them both and buy QuickFuel. These are basically Holley's without the Holley issues.

    Basecoat/clearcoat or urethane for my 1972 Newport?

    Painted my entire car myself with single stage BASF. Took it apart, fixed all imperfections, set up a temporary spray booth and went to work - BMW black. It's not for everyone but it was for me. After painting I smoothed the finish by machine, glazed the paint and polished it. There's a lot of...

    Long time C body enthusiast with project on hold, may have to sell --

    What to do, what to do? Well I can tell you that the best years my son and I shared was restoring a 64 Fairlane together - bonding at it's best. We worked side by side, went to swap meets together and spent good and bad times on this project. The bond we formed is one any person would envy...

    65 Polara Disc Brake Swap

    By time you go to all the trouble of finding and swapping spindles you should just invest in a disk brake swap kit supplied by after market suppliers. My 65 has an SSBC disk kit installed on it using the existing spindles and Corvette calipers and rotors. Came complete with flex lines, master...

    Clay bar to remove clear overspray

    While you are on a cleaning subject, I never ceases to amaze me how many people think they have a nice looking paint finish but under bright light the coating is full of haze and swirl marks not to mention angel hair. Few people see the advantage in spending $300 on a good polisher like a Flex...

    antifreeze for 383

    Just use 50/50 DexCool which is about the best out there. Aluminum friendly, not acidic like the green (cheap) stuff and easy to detect leaks because of the iridescent orange color. No need for any lubricants but if a complete and proper flush has been done, AlumiSeal is recommended because...

    Cruise control electrical connections

    Today I acquired a complete tilt column out of a 72 New Yorker which I plan to install in my 65 Fury. For $50 I got the steering gear, entire cruise unit and column. I do not have any wiring information to install the cruise servo and on board controller and would greatly appreciate any one...

    Pwr steering options...

    If your set on Saginaw, go to 440Source and they probably have brackets for about $55. To save dough, you can mount just about any Sag to these brackets. Get the mounting bolt set as well. Now if you want an original Federal with brackets ( not sure if they fit your engine ) I have just listed...
