When I took my 1965 Plymouth Fury over to a mechanic's house last winter, everything worked more or less OK, except a rough idle. That was the thing I wanted worked on. The mechanic got busy doing other things, and the car was left sitting outside for about 9 months. When I picked it up, there...

Doesn't show where it is in the shop manual. It is not in the same place as in my 1972 Newport. By the way, will those new electronic flasher modules work with both incandescent and LED bulbs? I would like to switch out to LED as the bulbs burn out.

I finally got the instrument panel out of my 1972 Newport. Many connectors are badly cracked. Fortunately, I found a place in Canada that restores MOPAR wiring harnesses. Wow, what a job! Never completely removed a wiring harness before. Got it all disconnected from sockets in the cluster. One...

Started my most hated restoration task today on my 1972 Newport- disassembling the dash to repair and make modifications. First thing I noticed was cracked connectors on circuits drawing a lot of current- headlight switch and A/C compressor clutch switch, to name a couple. Can any of these...

Something is amiss with the stereo system I installed in my 1972 Newport while in the Navy in the mid 1980s. Don't know whether it is the receiver or speakers or both after all these years. While the car has spent some time in the sun with the new speakers since I installed them, the cones...

I believe the 3 speed wiper was an option in 1972. Higher trim line Chryslers have them. One thing is a different switch. Is the wiper motor different as well? But do cars like the Newport have wiring harnesses for both 2 and 3 speed switches? I think the 3-speed switch has another lug.

My Newport has a buzzer that is supposed to sound when the headlights are left on and the ignition is turned off Lately the buzzer goes off anytime the headlights are on and the car is being driven. I don't know if it is related, but none of the instrument panel lights function anymore. Could...

1. The original setup on the Newport is a buzzer sounded when you left the car with the lights on. Now the buzzer sounds continually when I am driving the car and turn on the lights. All the doors are closed tightly. Where should I look for this electrical problem? It never happened before. 2...

I need a new group 27 battery for the Fury and was all set to plunk down the big bucks for one of those AGM batteries that supposedly last a LONG time and never leak. Then I started reading more about them. They don't like fast charging and like a lower charging voltage. Newer cars supposedly...

I am so tired of battery acid destroying the battery tray and sheet metal underneath. I am thinking about either one or both remedies: 1. A nylon liner to go under between the battery and tray. Some new cars have these. Trouble is, I have not seen one for Group 27 batteries. Guess someone could...

I upgraded my B block 400 cu inch Newport to electronic ignition a long time ago. A 4-banger hop-up book recommended MSD units. I installed one in my Pinto, but it is hard to sort out where the gains came from as I did so many things to the engine. Anyone tried MSD on the big block cars? Did...

I am keeping my 1965 Plymouth Fury III with 383 original looking, but am tired of dealing with points. So many are made in China and are trash. Mallory has a photocell pickup unit one can mount in the Mopar distributor, and it looks normal from the outside. Has anyone tried these? Does anyone...

I let a mechanic mess with my 1972 Newport Custom. After he got done with the dash, the Low fuel warning light did not work anymore. This light was handy, as I knew I always had about 50 miles left after the light came on. I have the original manuals with schematics, but cannot figure out just...
