    67 Fury leaf spring front hanger bracket nuts torque

    On the 67 Fury, the front hanger bracket for the leaf springs - are the nuts meant to be torqued to 30 ft-lb? The FSM is a bit confusing on that. I tried to torque it up to 30 and snapped a stud... I just got a similar nut and bolt as a substitute but I got paranoid of snapping all four so I...

    For Sale Set of front wheel drum assemblies from a 1967 Plymouth Fury VIP w/ 383

    Pair of front drum assemblies 1967 Plymouth Fury. I just unbolted the entire thing from the spindle as part of an upgrade to disc brakes so it's got everything inside. Bearings look ok but would be a good time to replace. Spindle nut washer can be included but it's used. You'll need to get your...

    For Sale Set of five left hand thread/LHT wheel studs and nuts, 1/2-20 threads

    Got a set of five 1/2-20 left hand thread wheel studs and their matching lug nuts, removed from the rear left wheel of a 1967 Plymouth Fury. Best to use a thread chaser as they were a bit hard to start the nuts on by hand. If these aren't sold by February next year I'm taking them and a pair of...

    Rear axle U-bolts - are round ones ok?

    Factory U-bolts on my 8 3/4" axle have a flat section, presumably to reduce the chance of crushing the tube, but is that essential or will regular generic U-bolts work fine? Need to replace mine with 55+ years of rust on them. Also is the factory length 7 inch?

    65 Monaco dash speaker adapter?

    My car's dash is based on the 65/66 Monaco's so I bought the Custom Autosound 3001-DVC, it says it's a 4x10 unit, however sticking it into the dash speaker spot, it seems like it's too short front to back, almost like the hole was designed for a 5x10 speaker rather than a 4x10 one. Did the...

    Wiring up a washer switch to also activate the wipers after a delay and keep them on for a bit

    Newer cars usually have the wipers wait a second or two while the washer squirts water onto the windshield before the wipers start up. Then when you release the switch, the wipers will keep wiping for a few seconds after - how can I do that with the stock wiper motor and wiper switch, and an...

    DIY: Rewiring the cigar lighter to only run in accessory mode

    Unfortunately for me, the cigar lighter wire is crimped directly to the fuse holder terminal in the fuse box. Fortunately, it was easy enough to add a relay in, and have it activate when the key is turned to accessory mode. Stock cigar lighter socket, with a pink and red wire going into it. A...

    66 Polara owners with extra dash switches installed - post your pics!

    Any 66 Polara owners that have installed extra switches/electrical accessories in their car? I need some ideas to shamelessly rip off for inspiration as I'm trying to figure out how to add a hold-button high beam, and windscreen washer switch, but just getting stumped as to how to make it look...

    66/67 Polara dash ashtray bulb socket?

    What type of bulb socket goes in the hole here? The existing black plastic socket in the harness (has a single orange wire) is too small for it so it just wobbles about.

    13/16 wheel cylinders on rear axle for disc brake swap

    Anyone try 13/16 wheel cylinders on the rear wheels after converting to front disc brakes? I see quite a few people have done it on the A and B bodies with great success, but haven't really heard much about that being done to C bodies. Would it be better going to 7/8 cylinders?

    What terminals are used on the female connector on the back of instrument gauges?

    The female terminals for these particular pins, what are they called and what size are they? They're definitely not bullet terminals. Would they be molex pins/terminals like what was used in older computers?

    Found 65-68 Fury left side vent window regulator plate (or an assembly that's broken/for parts only)

    Left side window regulator plate had fallen off and I can't for the life of me remember where I put it - does anyone happen to have the steel plate circled below for the left side regulator? Alternatively, if you have a busted complete assembly I'm more than happy to take it and grind off the...

    Aftermarket slanted/offset side mirror options for a 67 Fury?

    Installed some nice rectangular mirrors on my 67 Fury/Dodge but the visibility still kinda sucks and I think I know why - on newer cars, factory mirrors actually jut out a bit to the side of the car. On these, the stock mirrors are still within the confines of the total width of the car The...

    67 Fury upper control arm camber bolts not going in easily through new bushings

    Are the camber bolts not meant to slide in easily through new upper control arm bushings? It seems to not fit through the eye without serious hammering and I'm concerned that it's going to be an absolute pain to take out later on if I hammered it in all the way.

    65-68 Dodge Phoenix steering box removal and install info

    Just an info dump thread for anyone else with these year model RHD barges. Not too many pictures unfortunately, my hands were absolutely filthy to the point that someone could accuse me of trying to do blackface, if it were on my face. Tools/sockets needed: - 19mm or 3/4 inch socket - 16mm or...

    What was the reasoning/decision behind Chrysler's inverted C pillars?

    I'm talking about this: See how the C pillar goes from wide to narrow, top to bottom? Does anyone know the history behind it? Personally, I've never been a fan of these kinds of C pillars, they always just made the cars look weird to me. Always thought they'd look better if they were narrow at...

    67 Fury, drilling out sway bar-frame brackets

    Unlikely that I'm going to be able to get a set of PST brackets as they appear to be no longer in production, so have settled for trying to improve the OE brackets to make them serviceable. The bushing kit I got off rockauto, K7061: has two nuts and bolts for what I can only assume is meant for...

    WANTED 67 Fury front sway bar to frame links

    Am after a pair of sway bar links for a 67 Fury, the ones that hold the square rubber bushings. Would prefer if the welds were already drilled out for easy servicing. Alternatively, if anyone has a PST kit that will accept the factory size sway bar bushings I'd also be interested in that, as PST...

    67 Fury - removing wheel studs from rear left drum?

    Couldn't find anything in the FSM about removing wheel studs from drums...could find the procedure about disc brakes though. Is it possible to remove just the wheel studs from the rear left drum and press/hammer in new ones? I do not care for left-hand threads and want to replace them with...
