    Tires for 1978 Chrysler New Yorker

    When I get around to replacing my 20 yr old Cooper Trendsetters, I'll be ready to bite the bullet for these. There around $315 a piece based on Milestar carcass and are available with the the thin double white wall from that era, few yrs earlier actually. They don't show them on the site but...

    Rubber products

    https://www.steelerubber.com/request-custom-catalog They have a few items but not always in stock. I put my name in for 2 dr belt line moldings a couple yrs ago but haven't heard back yet. They probably wait to get enough inquiry's to do a run...

    WTF has happened to VHT SP126???? OUTRAGEOUS!

    ...or the great covid reset companies have taken advantage of. Parts stores like Autozone have gutted themselves of anything from this era. With in a couple months last yr they stopped carrying valley pans even online. No brake pads even into the 80's. Back to the paint, something happened to...

    Least expensive way to bright headlights?

    I had much improvement using the Sylvania Xtravision H5006. Nice clean white light without the hassle and harshness of LED conversion. I did do the relay upgrade before hand for another reason and that didn't help the quality of light but kept the car from catching fire...

    Should I adjust trans

    My trans chattered going into reverse so I took a crack at adjusting the bands and even played with the pressure. It didn't resolve the issue completely but adding Lucas trans additive did. A few thousand miles later it's been good. There's a 125k on it...

    Firm Feel Rebuilt Steering Gear on 1970 Fury 440/727

    I went with the stear & gear modern feel unit on my '77. There's still an inch or 2 play. 35 mph range lots of correcting not so much at highway speeds. Need things like lower control arm bushings and running old Cooper white walls so there's a not a lot going for it. I don't have a benchmark...

    Turn signal switch

    The best I can get is one chirp and then if I wait a minute or 2, another. Horns work, the steering wheel switches are gnarly but I did get the one that didn't work to work. The new duralast relay doesn't work at all so next would be to try another OEM or some switches if any come up but one...

    Turn signal switch

    I tried a different relay, supposedly NOS from ebay and no dice. I thought I heard some sort of a squelch sound coming from it a time or two but not sure. It's a one done type thing. I was hoping it would be something easy...

    Turn signal switch

    Oh ya, Duh.... I tested the relay putting a battery charger on the spades until I got a click. 'B' & 'H' seemed to do it. Then I took the cover off and it looks brand new inside. I have the factory electrical manual and like most things it doesn't go into much detail. All it tells you to do is...

    Turn signal switch

    I have power to the relay block and put 12v to the relay tabs and hear the click. What does the roller on the turn signal switch do...???

    Turn signal switch

    My horn died a slow death with one spoke going bad and now none work. I'm guessing I should have voltage here at the steering wheel for the horn...??? Fuse and relay seem good...

    Cold Start Exhaust Residue??

    I just got done sorting this out on a Thermoquad... Shorten the choke pull off arm til the choke just has a crack at the top maybe a 1/8". You have to play with it, put the long end in a vise and bend it back at the 'elbow' but only a tiny bit at a time... < 1/16. It may take awhile til the...

    First year's worth of Dodge ownership

    Lutz said BMW would have been a good marriage for Chrysler. Similar size and place in the market. Benz treated Chrysler like garbage but 'anybody but Lutz' Iacocca selected a GM Euro guy to set the course for them which he later regretted... The new world order

    Dry Carb after sitting for a week.

    Same problem here even though fuel still squirts no matter how long it sit's. I'm about to try a fuel check valve. They recommend putting it as close to the tank as possible.... Jack

    Fluids? Engine Oil, Transmission Fluid, Brake Fluid etc…

    Gibbs GP-1 uses the same American Refining Grps additive package Brad Penn originally used. There's some conflicting info on whether Penn Grade uses the same formula anymore. I haven't used Penn Grade but the Gibbs is green like the Brad Penn was.

    Engine performance upgrade

    Mine had 3.23 gears put in and power is not an issue. Sometimes I yearn for an OD gear on a trip but once I set the cruise I seem to forget about it and still get 14 mpg with a TQ.

    After-Market Valve Covers

    The AMD's I bought didn't have the oil cap hole clocked correctly so the tabs pointed vertically or perpendicular to the cover. They sat around for couple yrs before I got around to putting them on so I figured there was no point contacting them. That was also a couple years ago and they been...

    speedo cable length

    Hi All, Anybody with the speedo cable from the cruise to the tranny laying around that I can get an exact cable length ? The end twisted off mine and have since lost the piece. It appears there should be some pressure on the core going into the cruise since it's apparently spring loaded and I...
