Thank you for all the replies. There was a lot of good information there I had not considered as much such as choosing the best warranty, that's definitely something I didn't do the last time I think that's why this time I'll go with a brand new battery. Also some interesting information there...

Hi there, Looking to get a good battery. Group 27 seems to be the proper size but I feel like I've seen higher CCA with group 34. Many websites call for group 24 but the CCA are low, 650 to 750. My car sits for a few weeks at times without being driven very far, and I don't have indoor parking...

I thought I'd replied by I guess I forgot to hit post . I bench tested this yesterday at work to 12v and the proper amperage and.... It works lol After all that .. I'm happy it works, and .... Now I have a verified electrical gremlin because this means it was likely working all along and...

I also have a small leak coming from the selector shaft seal which will.be done at a transmission shop so at that time I will have them fully suss out this housing issue, it's good to hear most believe it's repairable!

My rear axle tube apparently has a small crack along one of the factory welds, I'm sure it can be repaired but if not and I'm into it for a new axle housing are there any slightly more modern or more easily acquired vehicles where the housing would fit a 1973 Polara? I am not really versed in...

The shop that rebuilds these has everything they need and advised me to keep the squirrel cage on so as not to damage it so that's peace of mind, would have been nice to get it off myself but they are very confident they will get it off without issue so that's good. If they did break it I'm sure...

I will try bump testing it off the battery next chance I get, I do have some alligator clips. But it seems very much to be dead as a doornail. I have access to a heat gun, I could try that but I wouldn't want to warp the plastic either. If I get it off, have the motor rebuilt and it doesn't go...

Finally managed to get the fender off and the blower motor out, I had to cut the wires But there wasn't any other way, I'll make sure I solder them back with heat shrink and all that good stuff but now I can't get the squirrel cage off the motor so I can send it out for a rebuild. Any ideas...

Just curious if anyone has any more info on this line. I'm just curious about it. We determined it's some kind of expansion or overflow venting line. I haven't had time to consult my chassis manual sorry. I saw a small pool under the car after some normal driving in good conditions and traced it...

The car runs great with it disconnected, great oomph and pedal response and no pinging so I will likely not replace it or attempt to get a new EGR valve on there. Reading the explanations and various experiences with regards to this was very informative. It's likely stuck open or closed and when...

Is there any benefit to running it aside from environmental benefits? And I'll have to look again but just looking at my picture it seems like I just undo a couple of bolts and slap a new one on much like a thermostat housing? And remove the golf tee and plug it in?

Removed the air cleaner for the first time today and just noticed this, are they supposed to be plugged into one another, and what are they? 360la 1973 Polara Thank you

Love a good cigar. Always partial to Romeo y Juliet, particularly cigarillos because they're a quick smoke. I haven't started the car in weeks but I have been in and out of it and drawing some current when the courtesy lights come on. Also just had a slippy chirpy alternator belt changed. I...

I haven't had any drainage issues since taking over the car, overall the car is factory wired and correct, original stereo no aftermarket bells or whistles, it's not a mess or been hacked on by previous owners that I can see, so everything should function normally. Only thing I did was unplug it...

I plugged my charger in and it's on even when the car is off. I haven't had any battery drain problems and it's showing 12v. My question is, is the ciggy lighter on these cars activated by physical insertion and i should only insert a charger when charging, or is there likely an issue that...

Decided to go with this for my filter: In-Line Fuel Filter | 400BF840 And since it's a small number of shekels I'm going to get this for the canister mounted on the passenger side inner fender: Fuel Vapor Canister Filter | BWDEC224

sage advice, I will plug them and not pinch them. They appear to be in good condition but why tempt fate.

Thanks for the replies fellows. Good to know I can relax regarding the in-tank filter. I actually do have service and chassis manuals, I was at work and didn't have them at hand (guilty as charged on one count of 1st class laziness!) According to it, the in-tank filter rarely requires...

So during the recent inspection I had done there were no crusty lines observed and the car overall is running fine. Moving on, I was wondering whether people use inline filters such as the one pictured below. Also, I understand from searching there's a fuel filter after the pump likely along the...

Unfortunately my thermostat housing (if I am looking at the right thing, I am looking at the piece above where you mentioned I could drill a hole), doesn't have the flat bit, and my water pump doesn't have any ports available either! Is there some other option?
