    69 Polara Dome and ignition light

    I'm not sure about the '69, but everything I've worked on, the pink wire is 12+ and the yellow is connected to ground. Unlike most of the car wiring, the yellow ground connection is the one that the door switches and the headlight switch interrupt to turn the light off.

    WANTED '65-'68 Spring Shackles

    Thanks to all. I currently have the universal sort on the car, and it seems like there is more side to side play than I like. They may just need new bushings, but it seems that the factory design where the bolts are pressed into one side plate should be stiffer? Sounds like Rainy Day has...

    WANTED '65-'68 Spring Shackles

    I'm looking for 1 or 2 of the leaf spring shackles used on the Slabside C bodies. These are the straight ones, not the offset type used on station wagons & the later cars. Part number is 2585 262 They are about 4" between the bolt centers & about 3" wide. I'm interested in either good used...

    Won't Stop Cranking

    I'm assuming that a '63 is set up similar to a '65. Should be 2 studs on the starter with wires connected. The big wire comes straight from the battery to the big stud and then goes off to the starter relay and then on into the car to power everything. That provides the power to spin the...

    Both Mopars look very nice. :) Is that a '57 Buick?

    Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts I got my supplies through Ebay, but it looks like they have more available on their website directly.

    Odd transmission problem

    Those pics are of my actual transmission, so I hope it's right for a '65. :) Looking at this 3 pin reverse / neutral safety switch into a 1965 727 push button transmission the earlier 727 combs are shaped a little differently, but still have teeth.

    "Fifth Avenue" wheels, 15" - will they fit?

    Not sure about the nubs, but the wheels fit nicely on my '65. Thats's where the wheel covers came from as well.

    WANTED Rubber bit at top of Vent window - '65 Convertible

    Rubber triangle with a metal tab that goes into the window track. I suspect these are the same on all the slab convertibles.

    Replacing my convertible top - 1965 Chrysler

    Good luck with the project. Looking at the Factory Service Manual, the '67 top looks mostly the same as my '65, but there may be some slight differences. I know the top well is wider, so the rear curtain extends farther back towards the trunk lid, but it looks like it attaches the same way...

    Instrument Cluster question

    Normally I would say no. '65-66 used one style of cluster (the half round one) and '67-68 used a horizontal speedometer. However, it does look like there is one on Ebay currently that is mislabled as '67. So if it looks like yours, it should work. Might want to contact the seller to make...

    What are you working on today??

    It's a little bigger than a C body. My local railroad bought four "new" locomotives and I'm helping the guy who is repainting them.
