The "Christine" thing is played out. The book is better than the movie. I've had people ask me about converting my 57 into a Christine. As someone who has had a 57 Plymouth since 1964, and many other 57 and 58 Plymouths, I would say that red (which this color is not factory) was not particularly...

I like the ground cable.

I had one on a 1957 Plymouth 4 door hardtop that had some cracks and that smell. to me it smelled like vomit. I sanded the wheel down and filled in the cracks. After sanding it most of the smell was gone. I primed it and painted it with epoxy enamel. I had the car as a daily driver for almost 10...

I own a 1957. These cars have very basic wiring. I can't believe that car could not be saved. You can reach most inner panels too. It all would depend on the price it can be purchased for.

Yes.

I'll keep driving gas powered cars.

What about buying some pre bent lines with fittings in place and replacing them yourself. I know that they make them for the early seventies Mopar C bodies and maybe they would work on yours. I repaired the lines on a daily driver 57 Plymouth Belvedere with transmission cooler line and hose...

That resistor has seen better days. Even if you got it to run with that one, I would not trust it.

Check for a vacuum leak.

That's a nice car. What motor does it have?

You can figure what ratio you have by turning the rear wheel and counting the rotation of the driveshaft.

It depends on how you use your car. Mine is not a daily driver and I tune it for maximum performance. When you tune it to keep it from detonating you are leaving horsepower on the table. That is the right way to do it for a car that you use daily. If you have higher compression, higher octane...

I agree with Jakter. Maybe the plugs are too long and hit the tops of the pistons.

I've used VP products for years including their race gas. They will give you a good idea of what you can expect based on the octane gas you start with. As a rule of thumb, any octane booster that is any good will come in a metal container.

After I retired from my business, I worked for Lexus. If a car had the keys locked in it, they had a little air bag that you would put between the windows after prying open a little with a hard plastic bar. The bag would pump up and separate the window enough to open the door. I doubt it would...

I use this. Without it I get some pinging. I have 11.2 compression. With it, no pinging at any RPM.

My guess on the orange car in the background would be a Duster. $1,000 seems high. If the motor ran, I could see that. A non-running motor is a core.

That vinyl top looks like it has quite a bit of rust under it. Overall, the car appears to have a lot of rust. I think the price is high for a car in that condition. Unless it was the car I always wanted, I would run.

If your transmission is original, it should be the 727. The 518 was not available back then.
