    Formal Styling

    For what it's worth, probably not much, but owning both a '77 Chrysler and a '75 Oldsmobile, the Chrysler feels much more "roomy" especially in the back seat. Front seat room is similar but the deep padding on the Olds seats takes up more room and it is fairly noticeable. I'm not a huge guy, but...

    Took the Chrysler and some buddies down to the last day of this year's Hot Rod Power Tour in Champaign Illinois today, had a great time. It was HOT today, 90s, humid, sunny, got a nice tan/burn lol. Lots of cars, massive parking lots full, every kind of everything. Was an awesome show. Got to...

    Thanks guys!! 77NY- kinda. Leave the main motor to drivers connection until last, then you can swing the wipers back and forth, giving you enough room to scrape just a reasonable amount of skin off of your hands while getting the other bushings. I pulled the side to side and the motor to...

    Did a little more work the last few days, Had a good amount of play, sloppy almost at center on the wheel, gave the box screw a 1/8th turn clockwise, and boom, no more slop. Tracks straight, had it on a lift, everything else seems in good shape, no play when I had a helper turning th wheel, and...

    '73- Thanks! Well AC started blowing warm again the other day, seems like there was.a blockage at the Expansion Block. Pulled everything apart, flushed the Condenser, Lines, and Evap, replaced O rings, and service ports, and installed a new drier. Decided to try some PAG oil and 134a, more as...

    Thanks! I was more bummed about missing the show than my car to be completely honest and transparent! Back was wrecked the next morning, but went to the doc the next day then again last week, everything looks fine, just a really good muscle pull. Feel fine now, back to flinging myself on and...

    Oh, and all of my cluster and interior lights are now working. Lots and lots of burnt out bulbs. Sometimes it's the little things

    Well, what an exciting week. Last Saturday morning, around 1 or so AM, on the way home from work, I was planning on taking a nap then heading to the C body show in Union. Well life had different plans. Dead stop on the Eisenhower Expy, due to construction and I got blasted from behind at an...

    I agree. The day I dont have it is when it'll fail. As long as I keep it in the trunk it'll probably never break lol. Got my conversion housings in for the H4 bulbs, glass, seem really nice, and look original. I bought a relay harness, and beefed it up a bit, some of the ground wires were a...

    Its moved! Thanks for the suggestions guys, appreciate it. Had to enlarge one of the holes, other one was fine. 93 here today, and didn't have much airflow from the drivers side vent. Figured something fell off, or it's blocked, it was blocked lol. Used a long grabber thing, and went in there...

    Thanks guys I appreciate it! Nowhere near the quality of some of the great builds I see on here, but for a car I plan on keeping, well, forever, whatever that is, just picking away at the issues one at a time and enjoying it on the way. The carb was swapped before I got the car by the guys who...

    When I tried those 2 holes, it wouldn't sit flush, and the ground strap was just in the way of the right side of the box. This worked, doesn't look too bad.

    Well Lean Burn went to heaven today. Had a no spark when I tried to start it the other day, few hours later it started fine, that was all the justification I needed to swap the conversion kit on. Pretty nice kit from Proform, only thing I used that wasn't included was some shrink wrap tubing...

    Thanks guys! Today was my daughter's 3rd birthday, and we had a lot of fun. Went to the park, had a small party, some pizza and cake, her friends from the neighborhood came to play and a sunny, albeit chilly, beautiful day. I happened to be off, which worked out great. Of course after a full...

    New to me 78 NYB on its way but please Don't tell my wife

    Personally I'd hit the easy button and go for the regular electronic ignition. That said, with the attention to detail, the perfection that this car has, the EFI just, "fits", in a way. Seems like the cherry on top really.
