    Door seals

    Hi all, does anyone have a source for replacement door seals for my 76 2dr Newport? (a faint hope I know). I'm not a purist so I welcome suggestions of cheap alternatives too. Thanks.

    Radiators.

    My radiator gets damp at the top of the cores when it gets hot, it's 45 years old so I'm hardly surprised. The Spectra premium part# is CU506, Spectra now list this as obsolete and don't produce it any more. I found a site here in Canada (WrenchMonkey), that listed one as being "In Stock" so I...

    Carb to swap or not?

    OK Friends, here's the thing, when I got my 76 Newport it was hardly running, the previous owner told me he'd replaced the ign system, (which was evidently untrue) and it didn't have the original Carter Thermoquad on it either. I found that it had a TQ from a 318 lean burn motor so i hunted for...

    Newport glove compartment lock/catch

    Hi all, a few weeks ago I was made a too attractive offer for my 67 Fury III hardtop so it went to a new home. I am now the proud owner of a 76 Newport, 2dr with a 400 and 4 barrel. I got it with only 1 key which fits roughly in the ignition but nowhere else, I can get new locks etc from...

    67 Fury Hardtop rear window trim clip replacement

    Hello all, well the spring surprise is that the trim clips around the bottom of the rear window have rusted away and the trim is all sticking up in the middle on both sides, it's a vinyl roof car and the steel underneath isn't very good either. I really don't want to remove the rear window as...

    Full dual exhaust system

    Well it's time to spend a little money (emphasis on little) on the old girl, I fabbed a "Bitsa" exhaust for the Fury last year using a welded up Y pipe, a Thrush glasspack, and various bends, pipes and clamps, to create a single line that exits just in front of the right rear wheel, it works but...

    What carb for my Fury's 318 Poly?

    Well I'm getting on with the Fury, it's now running pretty well thanks to a new pertronix distributor (old one had over 30 thou lateral play at the cam ) new Accel coil (old one was a ballast coil with no resistor), plugs (broken tip insulators and bent contacts), Accel 8mm plug leads (originals...

    Another newbie(ish) 67 Fury III Poly. I have questions!

    Hi all, I just acquired a 1967 Fury III 4dr hardtop, (stole it for 1300CAD at auction). I've owned a number of Mopars over the years including a number of Dodge trucks and even a Scamp with a slant 6, but this is my first C body. I have a few questions, mostly motor related as it appears to be...
