    68 Polara HEI Conversion

    Hi! I'm a bit curious because I'm still burning HEIs. Did you keep the stock coil? Was anything done with the resister block?

    New AC System Doesn't blow cold enough / 68 Polara 383

    Just grabbed the radiator fan and spun it. I had it off for a new water pump. Spun too easy and action was loose. Also, car was getting hot, way too easy.

    New AC System Doesn't blow cold enough / 68 Polara 383

    I hear you on that water pump. I'm just grasping for straws. I've put about five six once cans in. But I had a leak initially. I'm not sure how much leaked out. Currently, I'm just going by the gauge pressure. Per the low side gauge, I'm at 50psi @95F. I would guess I'm overcharged but the last...

    68 Polara HEI Conversion

    UPDATE: I've since done a few things that has gotten my charging system working. A. Replaced the voltage regulator. B. Bought a new coil. It's an E type coil. Specifically, a PerTronix 60115 Flame-Thrower HV Coil 60,000 Volt E-Core 1.5 ohm The ignition is now working just fine.

    New AC System Doesn't blow cold enough / 68 Polara 383

    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...

    68 Polara 4dr

    I understand that. I'm just wondering, will a set from a couple fit the front doors of a sedan? If so how well do they line up and look? The coupe's have longer arm rests. Which, if they fit a sedan, would improve the comfort.

    68 Polara 4dr

    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...

    68 Polara HEI Conversion

    Was the Regulator causing you to burn up HEI modules?

    68 Polara HEI Conversion

    Looks like my Regulator is point type (see pic). So now I'm on the market for an electric regulator. Any recommendations?

    68 Polara HEI Conversion

    I'll check on that tomorrow. In the mean time I'm going to buy an E-core coil. It's easy enough to remove the coil from the equation. Thx!

    68 Polara HEI Conversion

    Whoops, i probably should have included more detail. I have bypassed the resistor. The ICM is grounded to a common ground on the firewall. This does have a wire connected to the back of the intake. Also. I'm using a Pertonix, Flamethrower 3. It has a very low resistance, 0.32 ohms. The voltage...

    68 Polara HEI Conversion

    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...

    68 Polara Cluster Removal

    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...

    68 Polara Dash Lights

    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...
