    Garage fire near me today

    This happened today, a few blocks from me: Fire started in garage, neighbors heard popping sounds and maybe some smoke as the first indication something was wrong. Firefighters say the popping was probably tires bursting. This would make the cars (or one of the 2 cars) as almost certainly...

    Is there no source (or was there ever?) for 16 x 7 Magnum 500 rims?

    I'm not in any sort of serious active search mode for my next rims to replace my 14 x 5.5 Magnums, but if I were, and feel free to talk me out of it, but I would move to 16 x 7 Magnums. And I know we're talking aftermarket here as they were never originally made larger than 15" (maybe not even...

    Recommended reading: 1965 - 1968 Polara / Monaco evolution

    Has this article ever been mentioned here? https://auto.howstuffworks.com/1962-1964-dodge-standard.htm I'm going to save a copy of that page, and read it over several times.

    1967 autopilot (cruise control) dash control - Imperial swap into Monaco?

    Assuming the front bezel can be detached from this mechanism, would this result in the same / identical autopilot control mechanism to be found in a '67 Monaco?

    Rockauto not shipping to Arizona customers

    There's a thread on BITOG right now where some AZ people have noticed their rock orders being cancelled on them at the last stage of the on-line purchase process. Some digging has turned up a conflict between rock and the AZ state gov't regarding AZ state taxes collected (or not collected?)...

    2-inch rear brake drums - Raybestos 2955R measurements

    It seems to be that there is no stock for rear 2-inch drums that are spec'd for pre-1969 vehicles. The Raybestos 2955R is specified only for 1969 to I think 1975 vehicles. Here I compare one of my existing 2-inch drums with the Raybestos 2955R. My drum is of unknown origin, it is finned, as...

    NOT MINE Hood for 1967 / 68 Monaco / Polara ($100 Ohmaha Nebraska)

    There's a lady in a private FB group trying to sell a hood for '67-68 Monaco / Polara, has been asking $100 but I'm thinking would take a lot less for in-person pickup. I don't know if this link will work, I suppose I could make contact if you're not on FB or subscribed to that group...

    Now I know where my $15 rock auto rotors come from

    This gives a whole new meaning to made-in-china if you ask me: (wondering what @mobileparts would say about this whole situation) I'm sure the metallurgy is just fine. BTW, have you seen their kids making mufflers a few blocks away in the same village?

    UAW workers filed trade petition with US gov't in 1967 over apparent production shift of Monaco/Polara to Windsor

This pertains specifically to the...

    Balancing brake drums (who does it, or DIY ?)

    I've had front and rear drums turned. I have no shudder during braking (because the new front drums needed turning) but I think the front pulls to the left so I will swap the front drums left to right and see if that changes anything. I've had all 4 wheels balanced, but only the rears were...

    Old ignition module - how to clean up, and will they still work (well) ?

    Is there a lot of variability in these modules? I mean from an operational POV. As in, part numbers really do (or don't) matter ? And how would you go about cleaning this up, and do they usually still work afterwards?
