I had the same dilemma with my 65 Belvedere wagon. 273 ran great but didn't have any get up and go. I went with a 360 and glad I did. Added an 8 3/4 SG with 3.23s. Much easier than doing a full big block conversion. I drive it everywhere.

Been awhile since I was here last. Working on my A and B bodies lately. Wife drives her 67 Fury wagon everywhere. Anyway, Her wagon is a stock 318 2 barrel. Radiator has been fixed and tested by a reputable rad shop. Flows great. I've added a better fan and a factory style shroud. I had to add...

I did find one on Ebay. Perfect fit.

Guess what? My other wagon just decided to leak anti-freeze all over the place. When it rains it pours. Got a new water pump coming in this week. I decided to call the guy that rebuilt my 727. He also does rear axles. My son and I pulled it out yesterday and I'll drop it off this week. We were...

Looking at other posts, what is the meant by the term "green"?

I am going to start pulling all the brake hardware. Taking axles out is new to me. I've never done it before. Do I have to remove the pumpkin to release the axles?

Tires are good. No issues there. All the lugs were tight.

If it's something you really like then go for it. I've got wayyyyyy too much into my 65 Belvedere wagon but I love it. I won't sell it and no one will give me what I have into it. If you can do more than 50% of the work then it's a plus. That's why this is a hobby. Hobbies cost money.

Ok, the Timken sounds good. I do have a press so that's not an issue.

Just looking around the web. This is the kit from Dr Diff. Is this pretty much what I need to do it all? It's a 67 Fury wagon. Looks to be an 8 3/4 rear (I'm pretty sure it's the standard rear for all big wagons of that era). It's wifey's wagon so I really don't need super high performance. With...

Where is this thread?

So if that's the case I have never done that before. I take it I have to remove all the brake hardware first?

I have the rear wheels off and the brake drums off. As I turn it by hand it is not smooth, making a little rubbing/grinding sound and the axle shafts have some play in it. I can move it back and forth some and a little up and down. Both sides. I take it that's not normal?

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

I got a call last night from my wife. She's in her 67 Fury wagon and says there's a noise coming from the left rear and the car is shaking while going down the road. She made it home ok but I hope she didn't do more damage. Guess what I'm doing after work today?

Taking off the dome light to change the bulb and the lens is pretty cracked. It will go back on but it is fragile. Anyone here deal with new repops?

My wife and I took our 67 Fury wagon on a roadtrip to upstate New York. For $30 you can take your car on the track for 3 laps following a pace vehicle and then picture ops. A few regular vehicles with some newer Mustangs and Challengers. The old wagon kept right up and hit a blistering 70mph on...

Took a 6 hour drive to Watkins Glen NY. It ran fine but it still was in the higher end of the gauge. It didn't go over so that was a plus. The cooling system has been gone through. Rad professionally flushed, shroud installed, larger fan and new thermostat. It's a 318 2 barrel. Maybe I need a...

Seems like short trips are good (weather is cooler also). Temp is in check. Taking a long trip this weekend so we'll see how it goes.

What did you all do to connect the ammeter wires together? I would think that just using a nut and bolt on the loop terminals and electrical tape is a little bit of a hack. The tape would eventually come undone.
