    Cheap Aluminum Radiatores

    Ok, got it in and test drove it. Temp gauge stayed at the low mark of normal. $143 with tax, I think it was worth it. Easy installation except I had to redrill one mounting hole that was 1/2 inch off.

    Hubcaps restoration

    My car had a period of summertime outdoor storage, I believe that was a factor.

    Low Compression 440 Build Questions

    I believe the closed chamber heads and the flat top pistons with valve notches is the reason I could run pump gas back then, excellent quench. I had .024" between the piston and head.

    Cassette player restoration

    Old thread but worth a reply for future researchers: The curved black bezel in the top radio indicates it is for 1970* Fury. That curve makes it a challenge to install an aftermarket radio in that location - to make it look right, anyway. *likely fits 69-73 Fury, and the Dodge years that used a...

    Hubcaps restoration

    I've used the Testor paint with pretty good results. I think the trick is to clean it with thinner or acetone. I did the red outline of the grille and that did need touch-up after a few years, but emblem on the trunk is still going strong after 10+ years.

    DECODE help

    Thank you. The trunk release order code ends in a 7 (437) so no help there. Please tell me more about these seat belts. Why two belts in the same place? Are the belts somewhat automatically released or retrieved? Tied to the door opening? Very elegant.

    Timing chain slipped a tooth?

    I had a similar issue, the spring in my fuel pump broke, it would feed fuel enough to keep the carb working until it made higher RPM or higher throttle opening, then it would have no power, back off and it ran normally. My $0.02

    Wanted: Installation Info/Pics/Diagram/Hardware - 69 Fury Hood and Fender Extension Trim Option

    My first reaction is to look in the body trim section of the Chrysler Parts Manual, in the "Illustrations" section. Each model is detailed in that section. Then go to the parts listings for that area as to the other items. Another option might be Rick Ehrenberg, as he used to publish tape...

    WANTED 1966 Newport turn signal switch

    I thought about taking a dremel to it but considering some places won't take an electrical item back, I figure if the part doesn't work AND it's been modified, they for sure won't take the part back. But, I may have to bite the bullet

    Hubcaps restoration

    I can't speak for @jmustian and what he used for hte R-W-B on his wheelcovers, but I used Testors small-bottle enamel on the quarterpanel emblems on my 300L and it didn't last long. I cannot say how long it lasted, but it needs done again. He said he clearcoated on his, and that probably makes...

    VIN's on engine and transmission

    Well, possibly... I need something to pull a trailer so I don't abuse the family van using it. I need to be able to bring firewood in. People offer me free wood all the time, but I don't have a good way to haul it. Don't like towing with the van. We'll see that's still aways out in the planning.

    Low Compression 440 Build Questions

    Not many people realize that with a 440, retarding the cam bleeds off a bit of low-end torque (for better and easier hookups) and then adds it back in on the top end power. Especially on street tires (as that's what he had to run for the nostalgic street car class. In prior times, it was felt...

    These options were alot of money back in the day. Many people could barely afford the car payment without many options.

    Fuel sending unit: is this the right orientation?

    Like Big John says, I just went through that with my 68, it will only go in one way. I was concerned with the angle of the line also until I got it back under the car and it line right up with fuel line.
