Hello! I pulled the center section out of the rear end of my '65 Fury to replace it with a Sure Grip. To get the axles out, I pulled the backing plates from the axle housing. The axles are held in by a retaining ring on the brake side of the backing plate. In between the axle housing and the...

Hello - My Fury came with the broadcast sheet when I bought it. I've checked out the online decoders, but not many of the codes seem to match up, and I'm trying to figure out exactly what the car came with. Under axle it lists 293 - can I assume that that's the ratio? There's no 293 in any...

Hello! Finally found a nice cowl cover for my '65 Fury, painted it, and it's ready for install. The panel was missing when I got the car, although the windshield trim was in the trunk. The bottom trim strip, the one that mounts to the cowl cover, only had 2 clips. They slide into the...

Hello! Can anyone post a pic for me of the correct type screws to use on the cowl panel? Thanks... Chris

Hello! I just posted an ad looking for a cowl panel for my '65 Fury III. Another member has one from a Newport. Does anyone know if they're the same? I couldn't seem to find a definitive answer. Thanks... Chris

Hello! I had my '65 Fury III out this summer, and while pulling into my driveway, the front wheel rubbed against the inside of the fender. The car rode well otherwise, and it hasn't rubbed since, but today I decided to take a look to see if anything was amiss. The car has a nicely built 440...

Hello! It's been a long, slow slog, but I've got the new 440 in my '65 Fury, and almost all of the small, annoying defects fixed. All the interior lights work, all the dash lights work, all the gauges work...hell, I even got the CLOCK working (although it really doesn't keep accurate time)...

Hello! I finally got the new 440 into my '65 Fury III. It's up and running, and SCARY fast. Since I got the car running, I'd only take it on 10 minute blasts down local roads. Today I did my first mini "shakedown run" by taking it to the bank, and that's where the trouble started. All was...

Hello! Tomorrow I'm going to install a stock Chrysler electronic ignition in my Fury. I found several guides as to how to do it, and it seems pretty straightforward (see pic below). The only question I have is how do I tell which lead from the distributor goes to terminal 4, and which to...

Hello! As I wrap up the 440 install on my '65 Fury, I wanted to fix some of the other small issues while I had the car apart. One of those things is/are the dash lights. None of the idiot light work, and I'd like to test the speedo before I hook up my new speedo cable, so I have to remove the...

Hello! Finally got a chance to drop the 440 into my '65 Fury III to replace the tired out 383. The car is an original big block car, so I figured that things would go smoothly. Not the case. After getting the conversion motor mounts from Schumacher, which required drilling and tapping the...

Hello - I'm slowly plodding along, detailing the engine compartment before I drop the new 440 into my '65 Fury III. The car is a factory 4 spd, and I noticed 2 things that didn't seem quite right when I was removing the clutch pedal Z bar. First question - The eye on the clutch linkage rod...

Hello! You all have helped me out with the engine choice for my '65 Fury (replacing the 383 with an already done 440), and I was told that pics would be nice...so here are some. I pulled the engine this past Fri, and here's the evidence. It went smoothly, thankfully. I should have the engine...

Hello! One last thing to figure out for the 440 transplant is how to hook up the ignition. The '70 440 has the factory electronic "chrome box" ignition, and I'd like to stay with that, at least for the time being. The engine bay wiring harness on the '65 Fury has two hot wires running to the...

Hello - Almost ready to pull the tired 383 out of my '65 Fury III 4 spd to replace it with a healthy 440. How do I get the Z bar out? There doesn't seem to be ANY room on the frame side to get a wrench on the pivot ball. Is there a trick I'm missing? Thanks... Chris

Hello! As the date approaches to pick up the built 440 for my '65 Fury, I'm trying to gather the parts that I'll need. Since the 440 will want to breathe, I want to put headers on it. I can get them from TTI, but they will set me back almost $800 in plain uncoated steel. I've seen several...

Hello! When I took my '65 Fury home, I knew that the motor was tired. It smokes, ticks, and generally runs like ****. The (broken) odometer shows 38k miles, so my guess is that the motor probably has close to 150K on it. The car is a Fury III 2 dr hard top with a factory 4spd and a 383 that was...

Hello! Progress continues on the '65 Fury. The headliner is in, all of the side glass has been remounted into the channels, new window fuzzies, channel flocking, lock mechanisms in and working, window regulators lubed, interior sail panel covers are on, dash and interior lights working...

Hello! Just pulled the gas tank on my '65 Fury 3 to replaced the float. I noticed that the grommet for the filler tube was starting to crack, so I ordered a new one from Auto Body Specialties here in CT. It arrived today, and it does not fit. Inside diameter on my original grommet is 1...

Hello! I'm going through the interior in my '65 Fury III hardtop to make sure it's 100%. The previous owner pretty much slapped the panels, rug, and seat in, and that's it. I pulled the rear side panel to remove the quarter window so I would refasten it to the metal frame, and while doing so...
