    Easy things to make it peppier? 68 Newport

    Have a rebuilt 383 68 newport with a fitech fuel injection. Had stock torque converter replaced a few years back, missed opportunity there. Stock rear end. The car is heavy. I just always call it a cruiser, not a race car. Which I don't want a race car necessarily but I would like to maybe make...

    Rear differential gasket question

    On my 68 Newport I want to change the rear diff gasket. I have a fsm on disk but had to order an external cd reader to view it. In the meantime is it just as simple as taking off the ten bolts or so and lowering the driveshaft and that whole front unit? I just want to swap the gasket and fluid only.

    Steering gear box leak question

    I posted up in another section. I have a 68 Newport leaking from the bell housing area of the steering gear box. I fully intend to replace it at some point but wondering if that part is fixable temporarily. It leaks pretty bad. I've tried taking that ring off but didn't see how that bell part...

    Replacement turn signal problem, wrong part number?

    I've gone to a couple different auto stores and they have 2057 for the turn signal bulb for my 68 Newport but when I pull it out its the wrong style nubs that you push in and twist. Anyone else have this issue?

    New steering issue. 68 Newport

    I have a different thread about my steering gear box but I have a new issue. I took the housing off that the hoses go into to check the gaskets and such. I replaced an o ring and put a little gasket maker in there and put it back together. I let it dry 48 hours, jacked it up and burped the air...

    Confirming this steering gear box, 68 Newport

    I need to get a new steering gear box. I am on a very tight to non existent budget right now. Too many hobbies. But will this reman that says it's a fit actually be a good fit? Cardone steering gear. I've heard mixed reviews about cardone but I just need something better than what I got that...

    Is there a Road worthy drip pan, band aid fix?

    My power steering gear box has a bad leak, I gotta replace it. I don't have the budget at the moment but I will soon enough. In the meantime I have a oil catch pan under it in the garage but would like to drive it around and park it in places without leaving a puddle out of common courtesy. Is...

    Not sure I have the right power steering pump, 68 newport

    I have a good leak in my steering pump. And I've lost 2 caps so far. The previous owner may have swapped it out from a different model. Reason I think that is it looks like it doesn't have the same size hose input/outlet and they used another size of hose to adapt them together. If I could get...

    68 newport convertible quarter window is loose

    My driver side rear quarter window is loose and sags inward, nearly a full inch at the top from where it should be. I can still roll it down but I have to kind of help it by hand as I'm rolling. Looks involved to remove the panel. An upper panel overlaps the panel covering that area so don't...

    My 1968 newport adventure

    Figured it would be a good time to give a detailed account of my 68 Newport convertible. disclaimer: If you only want to know about a car being restored to original only then turn away now, don't wanna hear how you don't like my rims or my stereo or tinted windows. Bought this 68 Newport...

    Going to part out a 67 newport Sunday, what's worth grabbing?

    I have a 68 newport I'm hoping to get a few parts for from a 67 that's going bye bye Monday. Not getting a whole lot and not planning to bring my savings with me but is there any hard to find parts that are worth grabbing just to have?

    Should I get my original carter carb back?

    So I briefly mentioned this in an unrelated thread but I got my 68 Chrysler newport 383 factory 4 barrel this last fall. Been doing winter projects on it. Ran generally good except for when I was at a complete stop and tried to floor it. It would sputter and potentially die. So I took it to...
