    Engine Identification Help Please?

    Hi John, thanks for this. No, there aren’t any ‘60s American cars at all here in my part of the world - just mine. I’ve had a love of them since I was a kid in the 1970s when they weren’t that old themselves! I have all the manuals in searchable .pdf which are from MyMopar.com so will have a...

    Front End Kit/Lower Ball Joints 67 Monaco Wagon?

    Thank you, that’s very helpful indeed. We managed to get top ones here in the uk for a very reasonable £70 the pair & managed to save the current lower ones as there is no play at all thankfully when inspected properly. One rubber boot was replaced with one we found fitted from the Drum type...
