    What rear leafs will work on a ‘71 Newport Royal coupe?

    I need new springs because mine are totally flat and stiff as can be (no bend to them). I’ve been told maybe B body springs would fit? I’m curious what years, part numbers, etc.

    Need roof work/help.

    So my Chrysler has the special New England rust weight reduction package. It’s a performance package that improves as the car ages by removing metal from under the vinyl top over time. I sadly though don’t like this feature and will be cutting into the roof at some point in this car’s life...

    Chinese 4 barrel for the win!

    Please don’t judge, this car stuff ain’t cheap. So I finally got a 4 barrel and intake on my car and it is an amazing difference on the 360. Plus the old carb was junk so it’s nice to have a decent running carb, even if it’s a Chinese unit. It’s plugged into a Chinese intake. Surprisingly it all...

    What did you name your car?

    I tried finding a related thread but could not seem to find one, but maybe I didn’t look hard enough. Anyways, curious question, what did you all name your cars if you did? Since now having owned 3 cars, I’ve named my 2 daily drivers Buckie a 1997 Olds LSS (may it rest in peace ) Clunkie a...

    Transmission problems

    So when I bought the car 1000 miles ago back in 2021, it was fine. Now in 2024 it has no power going over lips. If it’s a part on the external end like on those Gm th400s I would like to know what could be causing this problem. Don’t wanna replace it.

    I’m back!!!

    Well, I think it’s been like 1.5-2 years since I was on here last, but for those curious I am back. And my Chrysler is still with me. I put her into storage at the end of 2022 with the whole “I’ll fix ___ later” mindset, as things were going but weren’t yet gone. They all broke during storage...

    New 2 barrel needed ideas?

    I have a 71 Newport royal with the original 360 with the original 2 barrel Holley carb. The carb is interesting, albeit bad, as after 52 years the plastic idle setter and throttle control peice has worn so bad that my cars idle is all over the place, and the car can’t really be driven. I need a...

    Welcome back

    Out of hibernation! Starts fine, seems to climb up the revs in park (I’m guessing choke issue what do all of you think) the transmission seems rough but probably because fluid hasn’t been flowing (just filled it) and it has no brake pressure (full of fluid they just haven’t been used in months)...

    Car won’t start?

    Parked it and it wouldn’t start after that, checked the wiring with test lights everything seems good. Porcelain parts are working and not cracked. New starter solenoid, new ignition box, fixed the distributor, new starter coil, new battery, more grounds. Now the negative terminal isn’t...

    Debating selling mine

    I’m asking for any potential ideas here. I’ve been working on the car pretty much every day for over a week now and even tho I enjoy it, it’s taking up a lot of my time, and eating into my very small finances. Even though I love the car and know I’ll regret selling it throughout my life, right...

    Things go from bad to worse (and just when they were looking up)

    So the car left me stranded this afternoon, smoke rising from the carb. Let it sit called a couple mechanic buds (none of whom could agree on what’s wrong) but the one I think is the most correct said it seems I may have a valve leak. This is causing the engine to overheat, the rough and odd...

    What’s been going on with the kids Chrysler

    Well I know it’s been awhile since I’ve last posted, so I figured I’d fill everyone in. The car was finally insured and just got registered today! I was so excited I drove it around and had a blast. But two things became apparent, one this car suffers from sever wheel hop when breaking (I know...

Being 17 I lacked the funds to rush into a gigantic restoration of the car but I never once forgot about the car, anyways now I have my license and the car still sat so we tried and...
