    Speedometer Not Working...

    This is what happened to me when I put my dash back together. Odometer clicked but no speedo. Turned out the cable wasn't fully engaged. Hopefully a simple fix for you.

    Electrical opinion

    That is what I did. I started by carefully removing the engine wiring harness and labeling everything. Then I laid it out on a piece of pegboard and started to repair or replace all the wiring and connectors that were worn/corroded. This was not terribly difficult just take your time. Once I...

    Electrical opinion

    Maybe the wiring diagram would show the size of the fusible link? You can probably source another bulkhead connector on ebay if you want to replace yours. Seeing those pictures, this seems like the best/safest option. It isn't a terrible job if you label everything and take pictures along the...

    Budget 440 headers

    I installed a set of Hedman mid-length headers in my '68 300. I had to tighten them a couple times after a few heat cycles but haven't had any leaks since. Also, I had them powder coated which lasted all of 30 seconds before it flaked off from the heat. I would suggest high temp paint...

    Electrical opinion

    @1970FuryConv Makes a great point. A simple check could also be to hook a battery charger up which should bring the voltage up closer to what you'd see at cruise. Just a thought.

    Journey Begins 67' Fury

    As a newbie to the game myself the best advice I would offer; don't start on too many "projects" at once. Unless you have PLENTY of room to store things and lots of time to keep things moving forward you could quickly end up with a pile of parts and a heavy steel slab that doesn't roll out of...

    Electrical opinion

    If you can test the Volt regulator that might be helpful. My VR worked when I held it just right but most of the time it just passed 12v to the gauge which is bad. I used the MeterMatch to provide the 5v power the gauge wants which is a nice feature so I didn't need to find a voltage...

    Electrical opinion

    That is interesting. If anything I would expect the opposite could be true. Did you use the 5v supply from the meter match or are you using the external volt limiter? I installed a meter match earlier this year and it is pretty sensitive when I am driving around. The manual mentions something...

    Progression Ignition Distributor

    Too early to have any real updates as the weather hasn't been great. A few drives around town and it seems to work well. Will probably have to wait til spring to get some drive time. I would say the lock out feature is worth it for peace of mind. And the ability to see gauges and adjust on the...

    Thanksgiving

    I am very thankful to all of you who take your valuable time to share your vast experience and knowledge on this forum. Without you my 300 would be just too expensive to maintain and enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

    What's a GOOD Fuel Pressure Regulator & Gauge Combo for an Edelbrock 1405?

    Not here to hijack the thread just wanted to share what I ended up doing to get the pressure down. I bought a Jegs unit with a gauge and plumbed everything using 6an line and fittings. I also used the Edelbrock fuel line and filter although I will probably add a second filter at some point...

    Bad News from ESPO

    That is a shame. I bought my leaf springs from ESPO and picked them up. Pick up is at their house and Laura and her husband were there to greet me even though it was late evening in the rain. I would say the comment about their age might be the biggest factor here. Sad there isn't someone...

    What's a GOOD Fuel Pressure Regulator & Gauge Combo for an Edelbrock 1405?

    I am having a similar issue, Gerald. I want to follow this thread to see what others say. I just checked my pressure and am running at 7-8psi which is certainly higher than what my Eddy AVS2 calls for.

    Progression Ignition Distributor

    Decided to pull the trigger on a Progression Ignition distributor. I really like the idea of being able to "lock" the ignition and also have the RPM, Speedometer and Vacuum readouts right on my phone. I did have to grind down about a 1/4" off the cylinder head for it to drop in without...

    318 poly to a 383

    I believe the bell housing is different between the SB and BB trans.

    318 poly to a 383

    I have not used these kits but I remember seeing it when I was looking to do the same for my Fury years ago. Looks like a good option to explore. Mid C Body 1966-1973-store.440source.com

    What rear leafs will work on a ‘71 Newport Royal coupe?

    Another vote for ESPO. Same as @aaron72, they had mine done early and the quality is really nice. I was able to pick them up and they were genuinely nice people.

    Rear spring shackle question

    That looks correct to me. Here is a pic of my hangar after replacing the springs. Not sure I fully understand the question though?

    Rear spring shackle question

    They look the same as mine which is a 1968 300. Best picture I have available right now.
