Thanks, yeah I was very happy to see those vent shades, I think they look great too...and yes I swapped on this fuel filler door from the parts wagon! Edit...maybe I didn't swap them...closer inspection appears to show they are two different doors (I don't have access to my parts wagon to verify). I've swapped so many parts I get things mixed up, maybe the original door was loose in the back when I bought it ha!Love the vent shades! Takes me back. Did the parts car have a gas door?
Here's a few pics of the coolant overflow bottle that was in the back of the wagon with the other loose parts. Wasn't able to find a part # on it, and I have no idea what a stock one looks like or where it's mounted. The only place I figured it might go is where these 2 holes are drilled in the radiator support. If you look closely, there seems to be factory paint on the holes, they don't appear to be drilled after the car left the factory? Anyone with any knowledge please chime in.Could you possibly post more pics of the coolant overflow bottle setup, in the original car and as installed now? Did it fit right in? How does it compare to a ‘73? Part number would be great too.
Thanks Scott, I'm in the process of getting something posted to YouTube...The 440 looks fantastic. Would be great to hear a video of it running!
I like the copper look on the brake master cylinder. Did you paint that? It looks good. It's unique.Thanks Scott, I'm in the process of getting something posted to YouTube...
Got a few more things installed, a new master cylinder and starter.View attachment 498107 View attachment 498108 View attachment 498109 View attachment 498110 View attachment 498116 View attachment 498117 View attachment 498118
Thanks Scott, I just used the linkages from the other green parts wagon since it was also a big block.Is it hard to find the kick down and correct linkages for a 440 4bbl?
Yes it was a new bare master cylinder so I protected it with some copper colored spray paint, I like it too!I like the copper look on the brake master cylinder.
Thank you very much for the heads up! @Xenon actually told me the same thing last time he was giving me a hand, I'll make sure to get it correct. Thanks again, I appreciate it!Very neat project there! Doesn't look like your kickdown will function very well with the way you have it in the upper picture. It needs some fine tuning. Good luck with the wagon!
Oh heck you're right, much appreciated!I hate to be Debbie Downer, but these shoes are on backwards.
Thanks Jeff, been having lots of fun bringing it back around. Only had a little time yesterday, but was able to toss a couple new Monroes on it.Great job saving this one and bringing it back to life!
Sorry I'm late to reply to this...but on Mopars, normally the overflow is bolted on the engine side of the rad support next to the rad on the passenger side.Here's a few pics of the coolant overflow bottle that was in the back of the wagon with the other loose parts.

Thanks for that info! Just a bit ago in the "Newport being parted" thread I was able to see what the bottle looks like and where it's mounted.normally the overflow is bolted on the engine side of the rad support next to the rad on the passenger side.
