    Installing torsion bars - no instructions on clocking them correctly or evenly into the LCA ???

    I've just finished installing UCA, LCA, T-bars, knuckle / brake backing plate / lower ball joint / shocks. T-bars are not loaded. But I notice now that the adjuster arms that come off the pivot shaft are not symetrical. In other words, I'd have to screw one of the adjuster bolts in quite a...

    When did lower control arm pivot shaft lose the cotter pin?

    Ok, so did the locking nut replace the cotter pin in, 1968? 69? It couldn't or wouldn't be a Chrysler vs Dodge thing - could it?

    When did lower control arm pivot shaft lose the cotter pin?

    I'm just wondering what year did the pivot shaft lose the cotter pin. Below is an example: On the right, the shaft with the hole was original to my '67 Monaco. The refurbished LCA and shaft on the left is what I'm going with. I hadn't noticed the difference until now, maybe this can help...

    Carburetor Problems on 318 Engine

    Just for the record, I did swap the carter BBD on my 318 for this carb (a $100 carb) last fall, but I had bigger fish to fry with the car - like changing the stub frame. My focus once the front of the car is put back together will be to see if I can get a smooth, low RPM idle with this carb...

    1966 Dodge Monaco

    Get out! Wow, my dad is still around, and I have his '67 Monaco. Did you order it with manual brakes? Jack up the front of the car, maybe one wheel at a time, have someone spin the tire by hand while you step on the brake pedal, see if it catches and stops the wheel. Maybe the brake shoes...

    1966 Dodge Monaco

    I had a '65 Polara with a single-chamber MC. It was a 4-door with a slant-6, and it had power brakes. I couldn't imagine it with manual brakes. What was Chrysler thinking putting manual brakes in a C-body, in a convertible no less. How long have you owned the car?

    1966 Dodge Monaco

    The pedal is rock-solid - when the engine is running or when it's not? Does the car have power brakes?

    What did you do to your C-body today....

    Today I put the steering gear in, but this was yesterday: Firewall and underside cleaned up, lower part painted (brush) with some really good black stuff that really sticks and is tough. Upper part shot out of a can, 2k epoxy primer, base then 2k clear. Just gotta find some place to press...

    Question about '68 Monaco/Polara AM radio PN 2649965

    1967 and 1968 Dodge Monaco's / Polara's had radio's with thumb wheels. The only difference between them is that the '68 radio has a chrome-plated metal frame and hood around the dial and push buttons - built into the face of the radio. I posted pictures above that show that. That effect was...

    Steering gear seal question

    I assume I can "extract" this seal (say, with an ice pick) without taking the unit apart? Similar to the transmission gear selector shaft seal? I see rockauto has about a dozen options for this seal. Too bad it's not included in this kit: I assume to put any of those o-rings to use...

    Are these bumper-bracket bolts?

    I had these bolts grouped with my stub-frame bolts but I see they can't be for the stub (or at least mounting the stub to the body). I'm drawing a blank on anything else using 1/2 inch bolts except maybe the bumper bracket to stub bolts, I've looked through the '67 Dodge manual but can find no...

    Question about '68 Monaco/Polara AM radio PN 2649965

    Why aren't the P/N of factory installed radios listed in parts catalogs? Is it because unlike any number of other parts, you can't actually buy from a dealer the exact same radio that was installed on the assembly line?

    WANTED '65-'68 Spring Shackles

    In March I bought ACDELCO 45G13005 from rockauto - dealer closeout (about $17 USD). They just had one. I think it was dumb luck that I saw it there, I've look before and saw none listed. Amazon has it for $34: https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-45G13005-Professional-Shackle-Assembly/dp/B000C9MMK0

    Question about '68 Monaco/Polara AM radio PN 2649965

    The 1967 catalog P/N for a basic AM radio is 2820633. Web searches for that turns up nothing. When you look for 1967 Dodge radio, one hit on ebay gives a used (and rusted) radio with 2771 298 stamped in ink on the side of the radio (the seller in this case is in Canada). Does 2771298 show up...

    Upgrading the electrical system in our 67 Newport Custom

    I have a new tank and sending unit, and I have to do this again, but I might try your method rather than drill a hole and put a bolt there.
