1973 Plymouth Fury

[The_Eagles’_Nest]

I have seen his work on FB if I recall. Probably a good fella to work with as well.

He is. I’m not opposed to giving someone else a shot at it though. I’m ramping up to restore my Imperials and maybe this Plymouth will be on the cutting board.

I ordered an NOS tailpipe. I will be looking for the rest of the exhaust and redoing it.

Here is another spring special for sale as well.

Hey that looks familiar, oh wait, she’s now sitting in my driveway ;)

 

[The_Eagles’_Nest]

I replaced the 20 year old 215/60R15 Uniroyal Tiger Paws with Firestone Destination LE3s in a more correct 215/75R15. The car is instantly better.

A new set of lug nuts are on the way from Mega Parts, and much more from RockAuto including new rotors and drums.

Raised white letter tires, very nice.

NOS muffler has been acquired. I am hunting an NOS y-pipe and midpipe. I will be using my NOS hangers.

 

[The_Eagles’_Nest]

New rear shocks on the car and a new idler arm. I will snap some pics soon.

I unfortunately need all four ball joints, the boots are all ripped and spewing grease. I can get uppers all day. Lowers seem to be tricky. A quick search here says they are no long made.

 

[Just Carbs]

Are the ball joints bad or just the boots?

They are bad.

There are several threads on LBJs, you may want to search. Moog used to make well-liked repops, but not anymore 9they still make the UBJs, as you've noticed) -- but their LBJ still show up from time to time, and @mobileparts has sold me some. If memory serves, PST makes repops too now, in case he's out.

ayilar ^^^ above ^^^ gave me an alert —- although, I don’t know who is asking,

but I always have the California made LOWER Ball Joints for the
1965 - 1973 “ C “ bodies in stock, as well as the LOWER Control Arm Bushings ( and all 15 components of a “ C “ body Front End, including CORRECT Tie Rod Sleeves and the PITMAN ARM )

At this moment in time, I do have one set ( Left and Right )
*** N.O.S. *** MOOG in the MOOG boxes LOWER BALL JOINT Assemblies….

Anyone who needs or wants, P.M. me as per forum rules, if interested….

New lug nuts and the spare tire wing nut showed up from Mega Parts.

Rotors and brake parts showed up from RockAuto.

NOS tailpipe made it from AMS Obselete.

^^^ If you have a 1972 Chrysler IMPERIAL ^^^ you DID NOT get the correct Hub & Rotors from the Chineseum world...

If it is a conventional " C " Body , you can get That Hub & Rotor and Front Disc Brake Pads from the chineseum world ---
However, you should have gobbled up my *** N.O.S. *** Very U.S.A. made *** 2 piece Hub & Rotors & *** N.O.S. *** Asbestos ***
Front Disc Brake Pads --- for the softest, smooooooothest braking system known to mankind, and no ripping up Rotors to smithereens....

You still can be eligible, P.M. me, as per forum rules, if interested.....Craig,.....

I would love to find an NOS y-pipe and a midpipe.

 

[mobileparts]

^^^ Might be able to help you ^^^, I have one old school parts store, that has rooms full of exhaust, including several rows of “ Y Pipes “ ….

That would be fantastic. I need the y-pipe and the midpipe. The engine is a 360.

 

[mobileparts]

P.M. me with the car —- year , model, 2 door vs 4 door —- and leave your phone number and first name in the P.M.

Craig…..

 

[The_Eagles’_Nest]

Working on getting the 360 back together. The valley needs a cleaning then I can reseal the intake. I will not be using the cork gaskets for the front and back.

 

[The_Eagles’_Nest]

The intake is on and the top end is almost done. I need to do an oil change and get the exhaust replaced.

 

[The_Eagles’_Nest]

I still need to work on the accessories and belts, vacuum hoses and a few odds and ends. Then fill fluids and anything else I can think of. I’m contemplating repainting the air cleaner to match the rest of the work.
