My 76 NYB St Regis 2 door has a 440 with factory TQ carb, before lean burn, 2.71 rear end, and has been with my wife and I for 40 years. A friend had a 78 4 door with the 400 engine in it and you could feel the difference in torque of the 440, but still both were great cruisers, and passing cars...

I have a 76 with a 440 and as I remember any vacuum leak can cause hesitation of idle and the cause can be broken vacuum lines from the AC as 1975.Imperial mentioned. Since yours doesn't work that may be the place to start. You can usually hear a vacuum leak under the dash, or feel it by...

I can just imagine how it drives, knowing how modern cars perform

Something of interest On BaT auction site

My general feeling over the years buying from them has been positive and has saved me quite a bit of money since I have 6 vehicles not counting the rest of the family when they call for advice and where to find parts But the more these problems come up with these Gig companies you learn how to...

Welcome to the forum Check out my garage, you can make a C body handle better with front and rear sway bars with poly end links Gas front shock and air in the back Virtually no body roll But wheels and tires that are not stock will help although keeping a formal look will not be easy to retain...

Welcome, you've come to the right place. The above comments about your Formal being familiar are right on, I downloaded the photos that were on the Bat auctions some time back. Keep looking at them often. Love the triple black, stunning, what more can I say Good luck with your new acquisition...

Cool car art with a story

Growing up during the 50's and 60's my older brother and I would sit at the apartment window and name the make and model of the cars passing below in the street (NY City) Great game to pass the time ,with no TV in the house. So I guess I saw many two-tone cars at the time and didn't think much...

First, want to thank Marty Mopar for sending me a new NOS cap as I was not sure how my efforts would pan out. But I do have the final result of the restoration. I sanded the good plastic center with wet and dry 800 sandpaper, polished it with Brasso and painted it with 3 light coats of Tamiya...
