Good Afternoon Possible Alt bearing failure. Loosen drive belt spin alt pulley. Rough? Problem found. Omni

Good Afternoon Just got off the phone with the Hampton Inn & Suites in Michigan City (approx 33 miles from South Bend. They have approx a dozen room available for 7-8 Sept. Rates are a little south of $200 (depending on taste). I'm sure that taxes are NOT included. Hope this helps...

Good Evening An easy on/off starting point on Rt 24 would be at Liberty Center (don't know the exit number, but I will find out). It is approx 25 miles from the Maumee River (South east Toledo). That is not etched in stone, just throwing that out there. Sorry, I don't get to Ft Wayne much so...

I too have a couple hanging on the wall in the 'man cave'. If you are going to Carlisle I can bring it there. As with MONC 440, just pay me what you think is fair. Omni

On a related Note.. Is anyone planning to over-night in the area?

Good Afternoon Not really sure what co-ordination entails. I would driving the Toledo/Ft Wayne (Route 24) leg for Sept 7 (logistics won't work out for the 21st). Let me know what you would like to see accomplished and I will try to accommodate. Omni

It occurred to as I was shutting the computer down that I omitted one important detail; this is for a column shift. I apologize for the omission. The thread will be correctd. Omni

Good Afternoon Thank you for the reply. Am interested. Is the wheel gone or just removed? With the column still in the car it should not be to badly abused. I have been told that the splines are different with a tilt column. I have not been able to confirm or deny that. The internals (switch...

I had a good experience with Steer and Gear. They rebuilt the unit in the 'Party Barge' ('65 Newport). They have different levels of rebuild depending on what your goals are. I chose a more modern (think Challenger) version and am extremely pleased with the results. Omni

I second Craig. Great guy and HONEST too. I believe that that brake style was know as the 'Floating Plane' brake. Omni

Good Evening All Just thought I would ask before Carlisle. Looking for a column shift tilt steering column w/steering wheel for a '65 Newport. The more complete the better. Compiling parts for a winter project. Shoot me a PM if you: 1) have one you want to part with...

Big_John Thanks for the link and the video. Very Informative. I hadn't taken in account that the steering wheel splines would be different. The switch looks very similar to the T/S in my '66 GTO tilt column - may be a parts source..... Omni

Good Morning All (Nine days to Carlisle) I am toying with the idea of installing a tilt column in the 'Party Barge' ('65 Newport). As these are one year only columns parts are not easy to locate (which to me is half the fun on doing it), Anyway, I located a column w/steering wheel for...

Modified this suggestion:

Plans as of now have us leaving Jul 11 (Thursday) the earlier the better. I like to get there early/mid afternoon. Have a few parts to pickup form Craig (Mobile Parts) and Murray Park. Omni

Planning on another road trip with the Party Barge. Hopefully it will be cooler this year. Omni

Is anyone travelling the Ohio/PA Turnpike to get to Carlisle? Would like to meet up with someone if possible. It's a long haul from Toledo.... Omni

To borrow from Peter, Paul and Mary: All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go..... Omni

mgm1986 Personally, I do not use any sealer on intake bolts. The sealing is accomplished when the manifold is torqued (35 ft lbs - I think). These bolts do not intersect any water passages (that I know of). I do not use the separate the gaskets that come with the valley pan. There have been...

Good Afternoon I installed one of the Fel-Pro valley pan with the blocked crossover on the 'Party Barge' for a couple of reasons. Hot restarts was one and it also saves scorching the paint of the intake manifold. Word of caution, if you are using the original style choke thermostat (manifold...
