    Why was there a motor-mount change from '65 to '66 ?

    The 1965 BB C-bodies need a block with 2 threaded holes on the front. Same with BB A bodies.

    73 Monaco followed me home yesterday.

    Yep, paired with a blackwall. Wonder what's on the other side. Don't worry, they probably got replaced 2-3 times per year.

    73 Monaco followed me home yesterday.

    Here a interesting photo. Look at the trailer rolling stock. They are the spare tires out of other cars. YOU ever buy a car and the spare was missing? Dave was a local racer sponsored by Chrysler. But that doesn't mean he didn't spend his last dime getting to the races, buying gas and...

    73 Monaco followed me home yesterday.

    @polara71 Still throwing the red .x huh. Nobody's story or opinions matters but Yours. LOL. Lonely world living all alone like that. Ok so all the wheels stayed with the original car from day one? Never swapped or moved around. Hmmm

    Will this be a problem?

    Yes put it on, use black silicone on the ends. Doubt you can get to it with box bolted up. Now unbolt the box and remove the coolant hoses to move it off the firewall to access it. Leave the cables on. But a box or blocks of wood under the heater box so it doesn't fall to the floor.

    Steering wheel wants to turn right while idling, steering gear adustment or front-end alignment?

    The valve needs moved just a little bit in your case. If it's way off it will turn hard and squeal the PS belt.

    73 Monaco followed me home yesterday.

    Come on folks, it's been 50+ years. Many people swapped wheels/tires around back in the day. Trans gave out in their car, junked it but kept the good tires, so wheels came with em. Bought a good set of tires at junkyard, wheels came with em. Buddy needed a spare tire, you gave up yours...

    Or you can buy the same thing in standard threads 5/16" by 1 1/2" long.

    What is this distributor for?

    Someone put dial points inside a single point. They had to use the dual point vac advance, so that's why there is no tab to index the cap. It still has single point clips to retain cap. So it seems to use a single point cap and rotor and just accept the timing variance with the floating cap.

    I got my rotating assembly balanced

    Sounds like a good job. Can you see ginding marks on ends of rods? On pistons under pins can you see marks like some were cut in a lathe? Sometimes adding weight is partially filling inside the 1/2" holes the factory drilled. Look inside the holes, is it smooth or have welding inside them...

    1966 windsor 383 engine color

    Glad you know it should be red. I see many things painted red that shouldn't be red so there has been repainting and I don't know if it's the correct color of red.

    Axle adjuster 69 300

    Did you have both wheels off the ground when adjusting the first time? This is important to answer the question. So you are now all the way out with 1/2" play. Well then what does that tell you, turn it back in. Both axles butt up against a floating pin in the center of the differential. They...

    Axle adjuster 69 300

    Did you adjust it correctly? Have you done this end play adjustment job before, with success? Were both rear wheels off the ground? Did you measure the end play when done? How much end play did it have then? How much end play does it have now?

    Doesn’t turn off when I turn the key to OFF position

    Your stock wiring will be unhappy when that alternator puts out 130 amps. How did you wire this in, what did you change. Look there first. Doubt anything is wrong with the ign switch.

    Spindles!

    Use caution, he is a hot head that goes off on people at Carlisle, and for the whole world to see. Should be too difficult to find drum brake spindles. You don't see them in for sale ads because they are not a part that will sell very well. Just run a wanted ad and see what happens. Many...

    1968 Dodge Monaco - 383 2bbl - exhaust manifold leak

    Wire brush the exposed ends of the studs, clean the grit off and lubricate before putting a wrench on the manifold nuts. Many times these will come off without breaking anything. Sometimes the nut is frozen on the stud and the stud will come out of the head ans you will have antifreeze Avery's...

    A lil ? 68 300 with a 70 383. Needs tlc

    Just put a 440 back in there. 383 is great but it's no 440. It's all about torque to move the weight. 383 has a 3.38 stroke 440 has a 3.75 stroke. Rear axle ratio is critical with a no power engine like a 383 2 bbl. 2.76 will make that heavy car a real dog. Post your fender tag and it has...
