Not to be flaky, but that picture looks more like "Chrysler light blue" to me. Of course, lighting can make differences compared to natural daylight. Check out the 1967 Dodge pickup truck color "Desert Turquoise". We matched that color chip to the valve covers on my '67 Newport 383 back in...

Only "light-duty emissions" vehicles got lock-up converters, plus any HO engine cars. So the D350 trans should not be a lock-up converter. Main issue to me is that if and when you do the RB engine swap, you'll need (as mentioned) a B/RB 727 to bolt to it, as the bellhousing bolt patterns are...

The "silver" t/stat is what the OEMs have used for years, including Chrysler after the "cad color" Robert Shaw style t/stat went away. The RS style thermostats ARE a better way to do things, but the alternatives will work good, too. If you read their old tech literature, the Robert Shaw's...

Welcome! Please understand that the 1966 440 TNT was upgraded for 1967 and later model years. The original 440 TNT was named for "dual snorkel" air cleaner and "dual exhaust", but still had the normal 440 256/260 cam, normal exh manifolds, and normal 1.60" exh valves. As in "Twin snorkels" 'N...

As for the fuel line, go into one of the Mopar repro websites or Fine Lines and get a fuel line for a 1970 Dodge Monaco 383 4bbl (Carter AVS carburetored) car. That will get you the pre-bent metal line from the back of the carb to the front of the engine, where it can connect to the factory...

It might be that the internals of the trip odometer drum, which turns the numbers, has worn or is gummed-up. In any event, the speedometer assy will need to be removed and sent to a repair station. On our '66 Newport, sometimes the trip odo would hang, which would cause the speedo needle to...

In some respects, other than providing a solid and even bolt torque for the valley pan gasket ends, the real purpose of those items could well be as "sight shields" for easy views of the valley pan gasket itself? Otherwise, they would be just 1/8" thick bars with bolt holes in them. Just some...

Thanks for the additional information. A "new" battery certainly is "new", but that does NOT mean it is fully charged sitting there on the shelf at where ever it is being sold. When a battery is sold as "new", it only has about 60% or so of full charge. Plenty enough to start a car decently...

Yep, not a factory spring. There should be some repro parts vendors that have the throttle return spring for a B-body car with a B/RB engine, I suspect. As to "flooding", unless you kept pumping the accel pedal with each "try to start" cycle, there might have been a bit too much fuel in the...

HOW WORN is the key? The electrical part of the mechanism is BEHIND the key cylinder. Two separate items. CBODY67

I would recommend NOT installing a lock-up converter and related pieces. The splines on the input shaft need to be hardened for best longevity. The OEM converter in my '80 Newport 360 "spun out" suddenly one day. A reman converter did the same thing, a few years later. For the 3% better mpg...

Since the car was built, the world of wiper blades has been through a massive amount of changes. Used to buy "inserts" rather than the complete blade assy, but now everything is oriented toward the "blade assy" instead. Which ALSO means the orig Aerofoil blades go in the trunk. A plastic...

I always liked the way Centauri looked and held up. Even better with the hardener in it. I think it's now Axalta brand?

My gut reaction . . . two different body series, so "no", would be highly unlikely. 1963 and 1964 could well be the same. 1965-1968 could be the same.

^^^ Yes, Imron was the first paint where you needed to have a respirator (NOT just a filter) IF you wanted to live and do another paint job. It was neat paint, though. Ahead of its time, for sure. One of the demos for it was a piece of aluminum foil they had painted it with, then crinkle the...

Dull, natural silver, uncoated. Do not recall seeing black ones at all, back then. Might soak the black ones in paint remover to get to the base finish. Black ones would have cost the company more money than the "natural" ones. Use what you might desire, though. CBODY67

What you describe as to repairs has been around long before you started to paint. Newer methods of blending have been devised. ANY paint is (as used to be on the DuPont factory pack pints) "photochemically reactive". Meaning that it will fade when exposed to UV light (fancy term for...

Would be a 413 in 1965. In SOME cases, fit and such were not up to modern standards, by observation. Is the trunk painted in spray-on bedliner material or just painted black, with no carpet? A silent way to check for bodywork in the panels . . . go to an office supply store and look for a...

As to the seats, I WOULD verify that they were re-done in "leather", as some sellers mistakenly perceive that vinyl "leatherette" is real leather rather than just look-alike vinyl. The seat insert pattern does match the factory New Yorker vinyl seats, but it does look like they have been...

in EITHER case, sell the parts you don't need to those that do need them for their cars' restorations/refurbs. To me, the Enduro class would be better than normal "dirt" racing. That class is about everybody getting to the finish line, but not specifically taking others out in the process...
