Thanks again for all the advice. I did mean keeping a stock appearance when I wrote "discreet", poor choice of words there. Like the sound of the Pentronics set up. While I figure out, I'll leave things be on the car. Other winter projects right now but the ignition upgrade is climbing the list.

Im not sure what do at this point. I've got some homework for sure. Now leaning towards the Summit set up. Or maybe I'll just leave well enough alone. The cars been running 60 years on points. The information and user experience has been amazing. I'll have to let you all know what I ended...

Mmmmm, I like all this info, definitely going to do the Mopar approved unit. However regarding GMs HEI I also own a 76 Olds 88, the HEI has been great, changed pick up about 20 years ago, have owned car for close to 30 yrs ! But for the Chrysler will get Mopar.

Sounds like I've got a lot of options, prob go with MoPar kit. Planning first road trip with my car. Admit to being nervous...untouched motor/trans in car that was hauled home from a junkyard. Bad, uncared for shape a nice way to put it. It's come a long way but just local trips since I...

Hi Evetyone I'd like to convert my 65 Newport to electronic ignition. Anyone out there who recommend what type system to get. Want to make conversion as discreet as possible. More reliable than retaining points I hear, better starting etc ? Thanks Tim

Your problem seems to be solved. I have a 65 Newport that had the same problem. I went to the hardware store got some nylon nuts, worked great. I got extras in case I need to remove letters again. Whatever works but I agree....no tape.

Looks way too nice to part out, kind of a shame. I could see if it were rusted or been in a wreck. Too bad

Available is a drivers quarter for a 65 Chrysler 2 door. Off car,, full wheelhouse and drop down. Decided not to use for my car, repaired original panel. Minor issues, have pallets. Pics on request. Taking a loss at 550/bo. Email with questions, let's talk !

I figured, cleaned it when I got car out of it's coma, sat about 30 in not so good storage. NOS switch on the way Thanks, you confirmed my suspicion

Wow, that's great info. Thanks, been using the car a bit more but avoiding short runs. Thinking of swaping out points for electronic, just seems like a better idea all around. Chose the AC plugs over the Champion j14y. Next plug change I'll use NGKs. Been running ACs since this cars revival...

Hi Everyone, Had my 65 Newport out last night. Wanted to turn on interior light. Rotated knob, felt it click but no lights came on. Here's what I noted. All exterior lights work. Dash lights work, ashtrays too. Adjustment for dimming works. Maplight is ok using switch on dash. Interior...

Tried to upload one, couldn't do it. Tried a couple times. But it's a white 2 Dr, red interior. Bailed out of a junkyard 12 yrs ago. Tried again, says file too big for server?

Hello again, Thanks for all the input from you folks out there. My 65 Newport was struggling, popping through the carb and running rough. On, I believe, Big John's suggestion I kept it simple, found a few seriously fouled plugs. I put in new AC plugs and also changed the coil. It started up...

Will do, picking up plugs today. Over weekend I'll change and go for a ride. I'll be sure to update. Thanks again everyone, it's really cool to know i can reach out other people with these cars, rarely seen here is any C body, except for one lonely 65 Newport !

Thanks for that ! I appreciate all the input a lot but I agree, keep it simple for the moment, do the plugs and drive it. I would like to upgrade the ignition for sure. I tend to assume the worst on occasion as well . This car was literally in a small junkyard and a complete mess when I...

Seems I've opened a can of worms here. I will take closer look at the points, condenser. It's been a while since these where changed but I haven't put a lot of miles on it. Timing chain sounds scary, as I know the motor is original, untouched. But listening at the tail pipe it sounds fine...

Also, the ignition is original, points, etc. Did check cap looked decent. Don't think it's crossed plug wires, car was fine until recently. Carb rebuilt by a specialist, I'd recommend to anyone. Hoping it's just the plugs. I do drive it easy and it tends to get around town type of drives...

Many thanks everyone ! I pulled a couple plugs, really fouled out. Going to get new ones and possibly change the coil. The motor has not been rebuilt. Unknown miles but original to the car. Doesn't use oil, runs well considering it was a junkyard escapee. Gas reasonably fresh

Hey Folks, I asked a couple weeks ago about my 65 Newport. It was at my friends body for about a month. He was having a lot of trouble starting it. Got the car back and it does have something wrong with it. Hard cold starting, once running it's OK. However now it has a popping type noise...

Wow, great info I will check out the air cleaner for sure. The carb guy is a specialist and knew about the warping. He used 2 gaskets to compensate and really made a huge difference, although I occasionally snug the screws. Don't know why they seem to back off but they do. Overall the carb...
