    Stuck rear seat

    When I think of "stuck", it is like it's gotten "glued" together, somehow. Vinyl might not stick to carpet, but it might to a vinyl floor mat. Just as the vinyl interior cushion and seat back might get stuck from time, heat, and possibly some spillage of liquids. When you get the seat cushion...

    Stuck rear seat

    Sometimes, very stubborn, bur not "stuck". Might need to "show it who's the boss", just don't let it win, in the end.

    Correct Distributor cap for 1970 440

    There is NO architectural or functional differences between the two caps, just the color. Usually, tan is considered to be OEM. Aluminum contacts, too.

    Mounting? Not if they drilled the stud holes in the correct places.

    Over heating

    In the instrument panel gauge, the "boxed" area under the main line indicates "normal range". Usually, about 1/2 way from "C" is about 200*F, a 180*F thermostat should put it just a bir below 1/2 way. Where is the needle staying? CBODY67

    360 Aluminum Manifold, eBay Knock Off on Edelbrock?

    Looking at the picture, it will only work on factory a/c cars from model year 1979 and prior. 1980 and later factory a/c cars need the twisted thermostat mount, as the basic Performer 318 intake has. Looks decent, with a 2 Yr Guarantee. FWIW

    How to install and use small seatbelt buckle of Imperial 1971 deluxe

    My point was that with the lower-production of bucket seats on Imperials, they built ONE seat belt (for each color) to fit all seat options. In the case of bucket seats, with no "buddy seat", they would just be "there". Saved the corporation money in the process. CBODY67

    How to install and use small seatbelt buckle of Imperial 1971 deluxe

    Are the mounting bolt ends of the small buckle belts attached to the outer seating position belts, as in sewn together or use a common mounting piece on each side? IF they are attached, then as the most common seats were probably the split bench or solid bench, they could catalog ONE belt for...

    Over heating

    I concur on the flex fan. When they came out in the 1970s, they were considered a "power saver" so lots of hot rodders put them on their cars. Can cool well, but generally noisy, even on the highway with proper placement in the shroud. Been there, done that, went back to an OEM-brand fan...

    P225/75R14 Tires

    Trailer tires are designed as such, not for a car or pickup truck. Which is why their tread design is what it is. Not designed to be on a steering axle, which can also affect how things are placed internally. Not to say they couldn't be, which is why they are designated "trailer tire" so...

    Did the 69 Polara ever come with 14" wheels?

    Check the Dealer Order Guides in the "Library" at www.hamtramck-historical.com (might need to manually enter that address) for the ins and outs of 15" wheels/tires on E- and B-body cars of the target years. Check the option of the 60-series tires and 15" wheels on the E-bodies. There were some...

    Did the 69 Polara ever come with 14" wheels?

    The owner's manual that was in my '70 Monaco stated that radial tires could be used, but they would basically "ride rougher" than the standard bias-belted tires that came on the cars that model year. I put some Pirelli P76 radials on mine JR78x15 (8.85x15) rather than the stock H78x15 belted...

    P225/75R14 Tires

    To me, one issue with Coker is that Corky sold the business a couple of years ago. Yes, they did expand their offerings, but apparently quality control is not what it needs to be. Especially as they used to build a lot of what they sold inhouse. Far too expensive for any vehicle which will...

    P225/75R14 Tires

    When I was looking at them several days ago, on their website, the WW "noted" "In Stock". Interesting, as it seems they are still in the Hankook catalog, but seem to be "unobtainium" when anybody asks for them. Nexen is another brand to look at. From that, some Viet Namese brands.

    70 sfgt white on black

    I did a Google search earlier today and found a "V8TV and Resto" segment on the show. The "Tuxedo Display" was a definite feature of that segment on YouTube. So MANY rare, low production, and great example of Detroit Muscle in one place it is astounding to see it all there. Some of which were...
