^^^^ The front end contours and roof C-pillar have a strong 1961 Thunderbird influence, to me. The rear styling is neat and very NOT Ford-like.

Here's a thought . . . Ever notice that the factory minimized the use of any adhesive in putting the weatherstrips on at the factory? Meaning they are desired to be installed "dry", unless they might need some additional holding method for a curve or body contour. Personally, I came to use...

"Roll over standards" certainly were decades away from 1964, BUT the 1965-1968 Chrysler C-bodies had very stout body structures! You can tell that just by closing the doors, for example. Look at how their front end areas are strongly tied-together compared to the large amount of open space on...

Just looking at the sales brochures, I would say "No". The basic structure might be similar, but the actual end result is different, I suspect. Sport Fury had bucket seats that were shaped differently and such, as the end result. It MIGHT, repeat, M I G H T, be possible that a normal C-body...

The Imperial interiors usually had the Eagle logo stitched into them, back then. Plus expensive fabrics and such. NOT to forget the premium foam under the upholstery. Being a premium carline, they were usually a more-complicated item to stitch together, too. Can't forget the...

If you were putting up a canopy/shelter, would you want the roof to connect at a narrow point of the support or at the wide part of the support? That style was unique to Chrysler products, rather than variations of the "Thunderbird C-pillar" that others used (including the '65-'66 New Yorker...

Just change the complete set-up, rather than seek to adapt one to the other, I suspect. They both do the same thing as the throttle pulls the same direction, I suspect. It might be that where the throttle rod adjustments happen to be (and how they happen) is the main difference.

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?
