Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the tips on what paint to use. I will also needs some vinyl paint for the padded horn bar that crosses that steering wheel. Wish I could find one that is the right color but they are hard to find anymore.

Hi! I have a 1977 NYB 4-door and it has the non-tilt/telescope steering column - has the gold or light tan interior. I also have a 1977 NYB two-door model car I am using to rob parts from that has at tilt/telescope coulumn but it is dark brown. I am wondering if I can paint this column and the...

Thank you for that tip. I will do another search to see if those hitches show up somewhere. On the 440 replacement, I am rebuilding it myself, this will be the second one I have rebuilt. I will definitely be doing it up right with a few minor improvements! :) I will post on that rebuild...

Excellent! Thank you for the information. I'm hoping to get an old Airstream that I can tow behind it on trips. I think that would be a lot of fun. Now to find a hitch, I might need to have one custom made.

Thanks for the information. I don't know yet, but looking for a travel trailer that weighs around 5k to 6k tops. At what point would you recommend a class III hitch?

Hi, everyone! I am going to pull my 400 engine and replace it with a rebuilt 440 in my 77NYB. I am a mechanic and know how to do this. My question is about trailer hitches. I know that these cars are rated for 7,000 towing capacity and 1,000 tongue weight. Has anyone found a trailer hitch...

My 77 NYB has a 400 in it. The lean burn is completely removed and I have an edelbrock 650 carb with electric choke, and a pertronix distributor and electronic ignition. The car runs great, way better than with the Carter TQ carb. My lean burn was non-functional when I bought the car.

Thank you! It is what I assumed but you never know until you ask.

Just a curious question - does anyone still make windshields for a 77 NYB? I just got a two-door and the windshield is cracked. Also looking for weatherstripping that seals the door glass against the top of the door frame. Thanks in advance for any information!

Hi, everyone! I am doing quite a bit of work on my 77 NYB, including changing the water pump, changing the AC to a sanden compressor, and also adding EFI to it. Since I will have fairly clean access to it, should I change out the harmonic balancer while I am down there? It is the original...

That car looks nice! On that rust spot, can you tell if it goes through to the back side? A good body guy can correct that if it's not too far gone. I would also look at the actual frame steel that would be a few inches behind that underneath and see what it looks like. I have a 77 NYB and...

Hmmm, I never thought about that option. I will try to figure out if that will work while I have the car all apart for EFI upgrade. Thanks.

Thank you and Happy New Year!

I have the complete cruise control and it worked a little for a few rides after I get the car in 2021. I say it worked a little bit because it tried to keep the speed where I set it but ended up not. I pulled a vacuum on the diaphragm on the cruise and it is definitely leaking in the...

Good morning, Everyone! Well, I found out the issue on my NYB. A while back, I removed the old Chrysler electronic ignition system that was failing and replaced it all with a Pertronix distributor with the Ignitor II chip. Along with that, I added the Pertronix HP digital 510 electronic...

Good afternoon, Everyone! I drove my 1977 NYB two weekends ago and it ran great, no issues. It has a 400 in it with only a little over 60k miles. Parked it in the garage for a week. I got in in Saturday to back it out of the garage and it started but the idle is very low and rough...

When I got home I started up the car and looked under the dash with a flashlight. The manual release lever was stuck all the way up and it would not come back down. I wiggled it really good and it popped back down. Now the parking brake sets and releases like it is designed. I will put some...

Yes, I was under there when I pulled and replaced the vacuum booster. A few choice words were developed that day! I may have bumped something under there when I put that back in place, but the parking brake was working after that, so IDK. The stuck switch you brought up is a good theory. I...

Thank you! #2 is exactly how it is behaving. This was all working after the brake work was completed, so it makes sense on what you said on this item. I will disconnect the vacuum and check the pedal. If that solves the issue, then I will see if I can get that switch unstuck or find another...

Hi, Everyone! My 77 NYB has new brakes: new master cylinder, rebuilt booster, new brake lines, new calipers, new wheel cylinders and new pads/shoes. The parking brake auto release was working well through all of this work, I could depress it past a few clicks and it would stay down until I...
