Hi! I've been struggling to find a replacement brake booster for my Polara. The car has drums all around. No one seems to have one available with the exception of rebuilders. However, they appear to be very expensive. I'd like to stay south of $200ish if possible. I'd be game for rebuilding it...

I've bought a hubcap from Ebay that was supposed to be a 15" Dodge cap. It has the same general appearance of my 68 Polara's hubcaps. But diameter is a bit larger. I have 15" tires on my Polara so I'm assuming the hubcaps are 15". I've linked below to two pictures. The first is what I bought...

Hi! I need some help and or advise on finding and replacing the door weatherstripping on my car. I've explained the situation and illustrated the situation in this video: Dropbox Thanks! Bruce

I do allot of interstate driving with my 68 Polara. I'd really like to add cruise control. But all the kits I see on the market look impractical. My goal would be to do this with as little bit destruction to the steering column and dashboard as possible. Does anyone have any experience or tips...

Hi! I'm having a gearbox dilemma :) . I just bought a new/rebuilt gearbox. I'm having a hard time deciding whether I want to return it, or install it. This is the second one that I've bought trying to replace it. So my tolerance for BS is a little worn down. The new gear box has similar geometry...

Beginning the process of cam installation and I have some concerns. Please see my video: Dropbox Starting to look at Comp cams maybe. Thx!

I got a good deal on this gear box. It was said to be for my car. But when I got it I could clearly see that it falls short of matching up on several fronts. Just wondering if there's a way to make this gear box work in my car? Maybe it's just a case the wrong part. Here's a picture of the one...

Hi! I'm looking for new or used, working lower contol arm to A frame struts for my 68 Polara. Just found out that my existing ones are bent. Thx!

I've been working on doing a rear main seal and found allot of notches cut out of the crankshaft. If there's any machinists here I'm curious why these were made. Check out my video: Dropbox

I'm in the process installing a new oil pan gasket on my 1968 Polara with a 383. Fyi, I've got a 187 type pan. There are two brackets that run from the back part of the pan flange to the front cover of the bellhousing. Since both of them are cracked in two (see pic). I'm wondering how necessary...

I'm preparing to pull my oil pan off and replace the pan gasket and oil pump. In order to do that I'll need to pull the steering linkage down. However, in researching potential replacement parts, I've found that there aren't any center links available. Does anyone know where I can find one? I'm...

After much ado, changing water pumps, putting new fan clutches in, pulling block plug... it's time to consider the heads. I pulled of the radiator cap and observed the coolant. Right away I could see bubbles and foaming. My guess is that there's a crack in one of the heads. Currently, the car...

I'm having some problems with my newly rebuilt AC system. It's not blowing cold enough. I've changed it over to 134a. Simultaneously, my engine has developed an overheating problem. I attribute this to not having installed the correct water pump. This engine (383) has two water pumps available...

Hi! I'm in need of some new armrests in my Polara. The car is a 4dr so it has the smaller ones (9.5" pad). I was thinking that it would be nice if the armrest extended further back. When I have my seat all the back, like is my normal. My arm is way off the back of the armrest. Has anyone tried...

I just got finished with an HEI Conversion on my 68 Polara, 383CID. At least I thought I was done. It's been burning HEI modules one after the other. I've checked for a good ground, made sure to mount with the proper heat sink and used the correct paste under the module. Also, I bought a rebuilt...

I am looking for a working TRW power steering pump around this vintage. I've attached a picture of what I'm looking for. I have the mounting brackets and pulley. Just need the pump.

Hi! I've got my gauge cluster out. It felt like a risky venture pulling it. I did drop the steering column down. Also, iremoved the adjacent bezel panels. But it was very, very tight in between the upper and lower dash pieces. It felt like i was going to break something. Soon I'll be installing...

I just changed the old bulbs to some new led bulbs in my gauge cluster. I did it because it barely lit up with the old bulbs in it. Now the new LEDs mostly don't light up at all. I got one of them to light up just a little bit. I'm thinking that the dimmer switch Isn't sending enough voltage. On...

Hi! I'm in the process of eliminating the mess caused by the Ammeter. So far I've ran a 10 Ga. wire from the alternator to the battery with a 100 amp maxi fuse proir to the battery. I plan on replacing the ammeter wiring through the bulkhead. I suppose I have to if I want the accessories to have...

Hi! I did a rash thing. I bought a Saginaw for an engine that came with a Federal ps pump. I even spent money on a fancy bracket. Now I put a pulley on it that I had spare from a Cadillac. It's not working out. Just looking for any tips that might salvage this job. Maybe a different pulley or...
