One thing I noticed on the Jack Instruction sticker in the trunk (1969 Polara) is that it used Bolts and not Nuts, obviously bolts are not correct. I assume the error was discovered and corrected, I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I wish I had a better picture of the...

When I read about these motors I saw mention of the "thick" washer on the end of the shaft. When I took the motor apart I looked for it and thinking there might be a thin one as well, not sure why I thought that. I didn't see one as I pulled the gear housing off looking carefully with a pick...

Are the two styles of gear assemblies interchangeable? The front motors have the style with the three pucks. The rear motors have the style with the springs. I got some new assemblies with the pucks, they appear to fit both styles. Just thought it might save me having to clean the two (the two...

As pointed out in another thread I have noticed that some tops fold all the way down and others do not. Mine sticks up 3-4" even if I try to push it down it doesn't go any further. I have not seen other cars in person so I have no idea what may be off, I have been assuming the material is...

The rear tack strips on my car (69 Polara) are rusted. The best I could tell they are not used as "tack strips", I assume the rubber is to help hold the top in place. Question 1. I have seen new ones for a great many different cars, not the 69 Polara (that I could find) Does anybody know of a...

It took a while and I had a friend calling around. He contacted D and D Automobilia and we supplied them a good sample (shown below). I have not got mine back yet but I have faith it will be good. I will update with actual price once I have that confirmed but it will be about $1500 - $2000...

In working on my car I noticed that the two vacuum lines need to be different size at each end. The hoses I took off were 1/4" and fit one end properly. At the check valve and at the brake switch. The other ends attach to the servo, one should be 3/8 and the other 5/16, the hoses that were on...

69-70 Polara, Fury should be the same. I doing the rust repair we forgot to note the location of the seams, although they were completely cutout I do want to create them. All I need are the space between them (overall, left to right) Alan

I have been looking into getting my wheel restored (recast) and trying to understand the demand. Might be able to get a better deal if there are more out there needing them The price seams to be about $2200 This is a good sample that I have but the wrong color Alan

This part has been available for years and is no longer available at any cost (for sane people) It is used on virtually every Mopar of the late 60s and early 70s. It goes on the front of the glass and fits into the channel on the vent window frame. It also acts as a weatherstrip. It is not a...

In looking for clips I ran across these that had been repaired. At first I thought it was electrical wire but upon a closer look I could see it was just plastic rod. It looks like they just drilled the clip and glued the rod in, did the job, maybe wire like a paperclip could be used? Alan

This was done for my Barracuda but felt I could share here. I have a new/reproduction sender in my car and it doesn't read correctly, it hits empty at half tank. I had been planning on adjusting the float to move empty to empty but I thought about looking into what could be done with the...

There is a number on the back of the inside rear view mirror, this same number is written on the back of the Certicard. I have never seen reference to this. I have seen a number like this (V-0000) written on an owners manual. Has anybody ever seen something like this? Alan

I'm looking for the small washer hose, my local parts store doesn't have that size, not even an option for it. None of the restoration parts places have a "kit" for C-Body and none that I can find sell it by the foot. I'd buy a kit for a different car if I knew how long the pieces were...

Does anybody have an original car with the decal still in place? This is the yellow maintenance typically put on the left side. This is a picture of a 1969 CHP Polara from 1969, it is the best that I have. In this picture I do not see it forward of the breather hose. I'm looking for a...

Looks like i need a fuel line for my CHP project, the front to rear one. Is thee a vendor that has prebent ones? Or should i just get 9' of tubing and start bending? Alan

Two years ago I started on the heater/AC box and I just now finished it. Initially I was waiting for DMT to make the foam kit, then I was waiting for the heater core to be inspected. In July I sat down to start the assembly and hit yet another delay, the evaporator. I was given a new evaporator...

I thought I'd outline how to put a steering column back together, along the way I may make comments about the disassembly but for the most part you can just start from the bottom and work up. For starters this column had surface rust inside and out, every little part needed cleaning weather it...

I put some parts in vinegar to clean like I have done many times before, same vinegar, same store, etc. I did forget to check on these for a few days but overall they were in less than some other parts I have done. This is the parking brake spring, it looks to have eaten half it away...

"It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas." by Elwood Blues (The Blues Brothers. 1980)The other day I received a NOS shock that was specified on the CHP cars, this...
