    1950 Chrysler Imperial swap help.

    EEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!! Tissue rejection!!!! It might take several months to get that chevy powertrain transplanted, even temporarily. With the same time and money, the Chrysler engine can be up, running, and getting other things done to it. In the middle 1970s, I helped a friend get a '50...

    Pioneer cassette deck for the wagon

    May need to look for the owner's manual online, too. Might check Crutchfield for a "fit kit" or similar? Does it have an internal amp?

    Heater switch resistance questions

    Consider "trouble shooting" an "adventure, fact finding, and exploration" operation. To see what is going on or NOT going on. More fun that way. CBODY67

    72 Polara Door Seal Replacement

    You can probably find "roll goods" weatherstrips in the back of the Steele Rubber catalog that might match close to what is on the car. From there, some miters at the top corners and grafting on the A-pillar and C-pillar ends to the new rubber, might be your only choices. In some cases, the...

    Brake light

    There can be two reasons. One @Big_John just mentioned. The other one is the brake system warning light SWITCH in the pressure block below the master cylinder (on a dual master cylinder OEM brake system). If one end of the system lost pressure, the internal switch moves off-center and turns...

    66 A727 torque converter 19 spline.

    Thanks for the additional information. Never did hear about any Clean Air Package information related to a different torque converter, when the system was being described in the magazines or Chrysler service literature. Only engine modifications to carb calibration and the ignition vac advance...

    77 Newport Dash lights (first Car)

    The red LED warning lights on the gauges are there to advise of "out of normal range" situations on each gauge. Triggered by switches on the individual gauge needles, I suspect. If the needles move far out of the normal or bad range, they also go out. I found that out one time on the temp...

    Where to buy good Holley 2210

    Thanks for the pictures. NEVER was an electric choke on that motor. There is a small clip that holds the choke thermostat rod to the pivot mechanism. Does the pull-off still hold vacuum, or does it leak? Does the choke plate hang on the carburetor body as it closes? BEFORE you spend money...

    Heater switch resistance questions

    Usually, the blower motor is the main reason for "no blower motor". As long as the three resistors are still intact, their particular resistance values are not really important. Can you hear the motor physically "thunk" with each speed selection by the switch? Just some thoughts, CBODY67

    Where to buy good Holley 2210

    With the 1973 or so 2245 chokes, the chokes were "electric assist", but still a divorced choke configuration. Not an electric choke that mounts on the rh side of the carb. 2245 is a 2210 configured for factory EGR. Sounds like the PO did a deal on that carb. I personally like them for being...

    77 Newport Dash lights (first Car)

    Welcome! The factory wiring should be pretty much plug 'n play. Dedicated connectors that match with other connects AND wiring colors. Should not be a major way to mix things up. As long as the colors match and they push together firmly and fully. The 108" whip antenna needs to have a...

    Others in here have mentioned a rebuilder that RockAuto sells. What is wrong with the existing 2210? CBODY67

    Need photo of non-AC Polara/Monaco heater core

    When I got the factory a/c heater core replaced in our '66 Newport, circa 1975, the orig pat number had changed a few times. The last part number, the one we got and installed, was for a '70 Charger. I asked the parts guy to check and see what the part number fit, for future reference. The...

    66 A727 torque converter 19 spline.

    A painted torque converter? Never have seen any stock-production ones painted. Must be aftermarket. The ONLY marks which might suggest a stall speed were on the 1970+ era converters. Two sizes, 10.75" diameter and 11.75" diameter. The smaller ones were usually the higher stall speed models...

    I'm sure I can find it, but I'd rather just know...where is the fuel filter?

    How many gurgles before the pump shot dries up? Once it dries up, re-start the car and run it for a few minutes, then shut it off and re-try the accel pump. For grins, get something like a firm piece of wood and gently insert it in the float bowl vent tube. How much fuel is in the float bowl...

    question on fuel cells

    in about the middle 1970s, Chevy put a "fuel cell" in their Corvettes. Same size and shape as the normal fuel tank. Allegedly safer in case of a rear-end collision. After a few model years, quietly discontinued in favor of a normal fuel tank. Not sure how the fuel gauge sending unit worked...

    Need photo of non-AC Polara/Monaco heater core

    A good radiator shop in your area should be able to re-core the heater core just like they would re-core a radiator, I suspect. How it used to be done, in prior times, rather than "buy new". The KEY would be if they use OEM-spec solder. As for images, they should be in a Fuselage-era Chrysler...

    Finding mileage history (1976 Newport)

    IF you are concerned about the mileage, be aware that many states do not use an odometer statement when selling a car over a certain number of years old. You can always say "The odometer shows 15000 miles. From the looks of what I found in getting the car ready for sale, that appears to be...
