    How to clean a gas tank

    I bought a new tank for my '67 Monaco from Vans last year, they were "on sale", $240 plus shipping. Shipping to Michigan was I think $50. It seems to be identical to my original from eye-balling it next to each other and with a tape measure. I'd imagine your '68 300 would have had the exact...

    Steering wheel wants to turn right while idling, steering gear adustment or front-end alignment?

    ATF today isin't what it was in 1967. Powersteering fluid today also isin't what it was in 1967. I'd bet that ATF+4 today is a better PS fluid than what-ever was PS fluid back in 1967. What I currently have now in my system is a combination of some no-spec generic fluid (but it's actually...

    Not able to reply to a thread

    I'm just fine on an older version of Firefox (104 esr, 32 bit) on Windows 7 (32 bit). I have a large HOSTS file, and also running ublock. Some diagnostics show that I'm not running scripts from: www . ezojs . com cdn.viglink . com A couple of cross-origin requests for g.ezoic . net have been...

    Steering wheel wants to turn right while idling, steering gear adustment or front-end alignment?

    I did this to the steering gear a month or so ago, because of a slight oil leak from the worm gear / spline connection area: I removed everything in the red circles. The parts in the blue circle sort of fell out because nothing was left to hold them in position. Two seals and the O-ring...

    Steering wheel wants to turn right while idling, steering gear adustment or front-end alignment?

    ...the bolts are loosened and I don't want oil all over the place when the pump is running. I loosened it, tapped it to a new position, then tightened it, then started the engine to see the effect of the new position. I trust that I don't actually need to move it *while* the engine is running...

    Steering wheel wants to turn right while idling, steering gear adustment or front-end alignment?

    Adjustment of what? The steering gear, or the castor / camber / toe ? Why doesn't the service manual describe this situation in the problems / solutions section? And one more variable to add to the mix - the power steering fluid. I was using ATF+4. After the stub swap, I have some sort of...

    Steering wheel wants to turn right while idling, steering gear adustment or front-end alignment?

    1967 Monaco. Front stub replaced, steering gear moved to new stub. No alignment done (yet). Tie rod adjusters adjusted by eye. Upper control arm bolts tightened in center positions. All new bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints, etc. Torsion bar height adjustments made. Front end has...

    Confused about slab-era upper control arm splash shield

    I have in my parts inventory this used splash shield: It's made from cord re-inforced rubber, smooth on both sides. There are 2 explanations for this item - that it's an actual OEM splash shield, or I cut it from a sheet of rubber using an actual OEM shield as a template. It would have been...

    Upper ball joints

    The upper control arms that I'm using came with the stub frame that I've swapped into my '67 Monaco. My original upper control arms are now "surplus". They would probably clean up ok. One has a "new" ball joint installed in '87, the other has the original '67 ball joint. They're available if...

    Upper ball joints

    A couple years ago I bought a single Quicksteer K722 Ball joint (about $8) and then 6 months ago I bought a pair of MCQUAY-NORRIS FB290 ($3.50 each). All this from Rockauto. About 3 months ago I installed probably the MCQUAY-NORRIS joints into my newly powder-coated upper control arms...

    Upper ball joints

    The both got loose? Were you using an impact / air tool or elbow grease? I've done mine a couple months ago, tight all the way in, no power tool. And you took them out? How do the threads look?

    Source for belt-line side trim clips '67 ('68?) Monaco / Polara

    This pertains to the 1-inch wide trim strip on the '67 Monaco (maybe Polara also had it, maybe the '68 models also had it?). It might also be applicable to any other model with a similar style narrow trim strip? Here's a photo: The original white plastic clips really can't be re-used (I...

    Bulkhead Connector replacement tips/advice

    This is what I bought: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/290644507106 It's a set of 8, you'll need 3 of these sets to fill in all contact positions. I think there will be differences in construction between these various items sold on ebay.

    Bulkhead Connector replacement tips/advice

    I replaced the contacts in my bulkhead connector and the cable connectors a month or two ago. I got a set of these contacts off ebay (male and female). These are also called packard connectors I guess. I made a diagram of the connectors, with labels using numbers, I printed the labels on some...

    High performance exhaust manifold coatings??

    I had my 318 manifolds ceramic coated a couple months ago when I was having my front stub and a bunch of front-end parts powder coated. Was all done by the same place. I was thinking of having them get an aluminum-tone color, but the guy said that because the manifolds were so pitted...
