It’s been almost a year since it was installed so I thought I’d start a separate thread as to how this radical change (upgrade?) is going. The good: Starts every frogging time Runs a little smoother and cooler Gas mileage about the same. No more electronic lean burn ignition A lot of things...

Rear lower passenger tail light was out... and the turn signal was always turning off the radio... same circuit. as I loosened the screws.... I heard water.... then I saw water... a lot of water Bulb was a bit worse for the swimming and actually had water in it. But the socket was fine...

Now that the top is on, it’s finally time to do the bodywork and repaint. Came to this decision for a couple of reasons. When I did the big rehab a year and a half ago I knew I would be here. And now, with the new top on, and the interior sorted.... the rest of the car looks a little rough...

Preparing for the new top has been a slow burn. Had hoped it would have been done by now. parts ready to go: correct cologne grain vinyl for top 5 yards. New rear window plug and glass from a 75 imperial. Rear glass has defrost and I got the switch. Will probably have to upgrade the...

Since completing the major service in February of last year, I always thought the top hose I had the boys put in looked to be too close to the idle/tension wheel. The hose had a few cut marks, a cut where the pulley got into it and evidence of “shortening”. Well I was right... just installed a...

The passenger side front window had been slow of late. The other day I went to put it down and all it did was budge. Luckily it budged back up before the motor gave up the ghost. so I spent this Saturday doing.... But first... I’d gotten a report from an admirer that the brake lights were...

See other two posts for more info. Sorry... I got a bit of a cold yesterday and my WiFi quit while posting. Thought I only put up the first one. Wish I knew how to delete the damn thing.

The passenger side front window had been slow of late. The other day I went to put it down and all it did was budge. Luckily it budged back up before the motor gave up the ghost. so I spent this Saturday doing.... But first, I had gotten a report that my brake lights weren’t working. Loose...

Took the Nimitz in for some work on the rear brakes (been banging on application figured the adjuster was out of sorts). Also I’ve been noticing some excess slop in the steering and some uneven tire wear. So.... Up on the alignment rack/lift she goes... Sure enough... adjuster cable is...

is this right????

Because I am experiencing low voltage issues when I’m driving at night with the lights, A/C on I’m thinking of going to a 90 amp unit. Horn is weak at these times and, at a traffic light at night, I sometimes get the low amp light on if I’m there for a while. Call me lazy.... but I do get why...

My weather strip for the sunroof is failing.... and just in time for a new top. Those following along on my other thread already know I bought the rear window plug from an ‘75 Imperial being parted out in Wisconsin some months ago. Here’s the top of the seal. It extends to the bottom of the...

ive been toying with the idea of installing a self leveling rear suspension on the NYB. I usually drive by myself but, occasionally, when I load up the family or some clients for lunch. The tail really drags. Just got the “heart” in yesterday The original stock system had a variation of the...

Well, after driving the car for six months I have a new bug.... Headlight doors are not opening up correctly when the headlights are activated. It happened early on and after opening them manually a few times the problem went away until now. Symptoms: Headlights come on, doors try to open but...

need to check grain on the 1978 Salon vinyl roof before I screw it up. Is it elk grain or the pebble grain like the regular NYB’s? Thanks!

I finally had the pleasure tonight of getting my youngest to drive me as we picked up our pizza order.....before we take her to BU tomorrow. If you’ve never ridden in the back seat of your NYB..... “treat yo self “ sometime...

Saw this and wanted to share:

I just noticed that the ignition light I just got working again also lights up the headlight switch and the wiper switch... Did I fortuitously misconnect something?? Or is this “feature” by design? Curious.

Just messing around..... I was thinking about adding a call out for the 440 on my NYB... it being the last year in a passenger car and all. So I started thinking.... where and how to add it to this elegant machine without being garish or busy.... here is my idea: Put it on the side marker...

Wash day for the old girl....
