Thank you for that! is there a how too on how to fix them? and that is interesting you mention that guy. I actually sent him my hinges and he says he doesnt do C bodies. I am currently waiting for him to ship back my hinges.

So would B-body parts work for C-body hinges?

So I removed the door hinges on my 70 polara convertible due to the driver door sagging. Well it appears the bottom hinges are fine, but the top on the drivers is visably worn and the passenger side is not far behind. Are there any rebuild kits out there for the top hinges? Or what are my...

This past weekend I got sometime to work on the polara. So before initial start up I took off the vacuum line from the carb to the vacuum canister to see if it would hold vacuum without collapsing. Which it did. So I installed it back on the canister and plugged the port on the carb. Started...

I only run premium in anything with a carb. Which around here is 92-93. I guess I should have specified above that all my vacuum readings were done at a ported vacuum port, not manifold vacuum. I do not believe the block was decked or the heads cuts, and not to sure what thickness head gasket...

So my issues resides in a 70 Polara. It has a stock rebuild 440 running an AVS 4640SA carb that was rebuilt. Timing settings are 8 deg BTDC with an idle speed of 800-850 rpm pulling about 13 inHg at idle. I initially had the initial set at 12 BDTC but would ping at moderate to heavy...

So, if you dont know this (it helped me on a 56 Packard, found it on youtube), is plumb in about 70 psi of shop air and listen for the leak. a lot cleaner and cheaper than using a dye.

Every motor is different, but the 70 polara I have is running a close to stock 440 is only running about 8 deg BTDC. anything more and it starts to ping under light to moderate acceleration. I believe the FBO plate on that one is set to 10 deg, but I think that means distributor degrees which...

Nice. If you want to cruise sometime or meet up at a car cruise let me know! My C body isnt in Pittsburgh at the moment but my dart and charger are.

Welcome, where are you in the Pittsburgh region? I am on the border of kennedy/Mckees Rocks just to the west of the city

I believe the difference would be that running a wire from the alt stud to the starter relay would not really "bypass" the ammeter. The ammeter would still be in the circuit but if it fails it wouldnt leave you stranded. However, in doing so not all the power is running through the ammeter...

I ended up getting the Milwaukee M12 1/2 drive that I think is a stubby(?). I was rebuilding the suspension on a 56 packard and I dont have lift so I only have so much room under the car and the floor and only so much room between other components. It fit great, made cake work of the job and...

you can call or go on their website and use the chat feature. But you basically tell them what your car is and they will tell you what it came with. They should also be able to inform you what other spring options your car could have depending on engine or body configuration (couple vs...

I also did the springs in a 70 polara convertible. They are not bad to do. Just make sure you brace the body on a jack stand as well as the axle. I did both at once so I needed an additional jack stand under the pumpkin to keep the axle from rotating on the U joint while I worked. A compact...

I had seat covers made by them. Again took two years to finally get them. Id agree with the you have to stay in constant contact with them in order to get anything out of them.

Submit them here? or email them to you?

So I was finally able to finish up the lighting upgrade on the polara. It involved getting a custom headlight harness made by Rob Yule that included a third relay to run the superlite directly off of the alternator. I used headlights spec'd out by @slantsixdan at Daniel Stern Lighting. I also...

According to the 69 & 70 FSM I do have the correct size jets (.101 primary, .095 secondary) and the correct rods. I do not know about the springs. According to the FSM the timing can be set at 5 deg BTC on auto 440 cars or for 70 either 5 of 2.5 deg BTC depending on standard or high...

Yes on the 4966S I put the .089 in the primary side and the .095 back in the secondary side. So that means when the car didnt mind 12 BTC the primary jets were .006 in diameter bigger. So go that size or half that with the change in jets? Thank you for the propane torch idea. Ill give that a...
