    Got a question guys

    That issue is probably related to the fact that "Sport Fury" per se is not in their model database, but normal "Fury III" is. It didn't find your model, so they don't fit, even though the two versions are the same car. I used to run into similar issues on some Rock Auto searches. Same part...

    Wheel help, 68 fury

    The 15x7 5x4.50 4.0" Bkspc are the same bkspc as the 17x7s on that car. I've been looking at the 15x7s, too, for a good while. I have seen the 15x7s on 1970 B-bodies and they look good, as to spacing in the rear wheel wells, laterally. The repro 15x7 Magnum 500s can be had in 15x7 with 4.25"...

    72 New Yorker with cassette player

    How were the cassette tape players listed? How NEAT it would have been to be one of the driver's ed students in a CHARGER driver's ed car! All we had were 4-dr sedan "family cars". CBODY67

    manual steering help!!!

    As power steering cars usually had about .75* positive caster, manual steer cars usually had -.75* caster. Every little bit helps! Why removal of the power steering system? Just curious. CBODY67

    Wagon headliner source?

    Head to Lowe's or Home Depot. Look for closed-cell foam center, shiny on both sides, radiant barrier rolls. Quite high R-ratings, but only about 1/4" thick? Only thing is that humidity has to have some place to evaporate to! Otherwise it settles into the unpainted metal pieces welded...

    Windshield compatibility 1971 Newport

    Look at the repro sheet metal AMD went after first. B-bodies. That's where the money is, plus E-bodies. Could AMD do some C-body stuff? Even windshields? Sure. Do they want "dead stock" in their inventory, relative to the volumes of B-body stuff? Probably not. Might they use their...

    Seat upholstery

    Never have been any pre-made "kits" for these cars. Otherwise, just universal-fit aftermarket items. None of the universal-fit items will be specifically for any vehicle, just the style of the seat. Is this a two-door with the lean-forward backrests? Or a true 50-50 split bench front seat...

    Windshield compatibility 1971 Newport

    Little-known "secret" is that the rear section of the Imperials, as in cowl rearward, is the same size and structure as a normal Chrysler. The added wheelbase is in the front stub-frame assembly moving the front wheels forward by 3". Revealed in a "Collectible Automobile" article on the...

    1958 Trunk and glovebox keys

    That style of retainer is used on LOTS of non-Chrysler vehicles for the front door lock cylinders, too.

    Carburetor cleaning fluid?

    It seems that Berryman's B12 has been displaced by the "loved" Seafoam products. When Berrymans was available in 5 gallon buckets (and the "dunk bucket" for the carb parts), it was the one that everybody had. Then smaller 1 gallon containers with a similar same bucket. Just did not last as...

    Wheels for 64 Imperial - Concept

    Biggest whitewall tire size usually is P235/75R-15, which at 35psi, has plenty of capacity for an Imperial or even earlier Lincoln convertible. There are "XL" (extra load, 6-PR) versions, too. P255/70R-15s will only be blackwall or white letter sidewalls. Not becoming of an Imperial, to me...

    Oh No ...., Another Spark Plug Question

    The OTHER thing to consider is any possible interference with piston tops. Which is not good! Agreed, with a '72-era 40 where the piston is .125" "in the hole" at TDC, no issues, most likely. But a 1969 10.0CR motor, with basically "zero deck", the extra electrode length might be an issue...

    Need help decoding a vin

    Check the cam specs on the 383/315 and you'll probably find the 252/252/.390 cam the 2bbls used. Although the same cam specs were on the original 350 2x4bbl of 1958 Plymouths. Plus, if it matters, the Chrysler 383 4bbls were single exhaust as the similar Plymouths were dual exhaust, with the...

    I pulled the 383 out of my 66 windsor

    Everything always looks so neat when clean and new! I hope everything lives up to your desires! Seems like the 4bbl motors were pretty much zero deck, OEM? What is the available of 93-94 Pump Octane fuel where you are and will be driving? Let that be the determining factor in you head gasket...

    ‘77 Newport Hardtop Weatherstripping

    To me, "NOS weatherstrip" is old as the car is, just that it's been rolled/folded up in a box all of its life. Shelf life issues happen to them, too.

    1958 Trunk and glovebox keys

    The issue is whether or not the rest of the tumbler slots are in the glove box cylinder! "Finished" and not just rough cast. Don't know that leaving something THAT valuable in the glove box is advisable! IF they want it, they'll tear the instrument panel up to get it. Best to not even...

    Wheels for 64 Imperial - Concept

    In this case, as I recall, these wheels were mainly on Ramchargers, the pickup-based utility vehicle of the time. To me, "a truck" is a D-200 or above. Sorry. To me, those were not the most attractive wheels, but of a popular style back then. I ALSO understand the "in stock" orientation...

    ‘77 Newport Hardtop Weatherstripping

    In the mean time . . . On one of my hardtop cars, I got some high-heat silicone sealer and artfully smeared it onto the deteriorating rubber window weatherstrips. A skin coat smeared on with my index finger. Filled in the gaps and held them together pretty well. Worked for several years! As...

    Need help decoding a vin

    That is a nice looking car that cleaned-up nicely, on the outside and inside. What does it look like underneath? Agree, a 1966 for sure. The issue of the engine size and carb might be best defined as "B-engine 383". In actual use, the advantage of a 2bbl would be the 2.76 rear axle and...
