Detroit Eaton as noted above were the original supplier to Chrysler for our C bodies back when they were new.

Wow - really nice! That one should definitely be saved.

Nice!

So I did some more digging - and I owe you an apology - you are totally correct with the terminology for that part. Leaf Spring Isolator. Group 17-10-11. There are two per pack - one above, one below, at least according to the 1967 parts catalogue. They are an Imperial only part, and from...

Yikes - thems some worn out springs! Glad you got new ones.

Is that an Imp only rubber pad that is in the spring pack centre, and the centre bolt runs through it? Hard to tell from that photo. Regardless, one could make something that works well, I would think. Great pencil by the way!

Does your car have drum brakes or disc brakes? The best dual circuit master would be one from a 67 - 73 full size. Pretty much any one for C body car similarly equipped - so if your car has drum brakes, get a drum brake master cylinder, such as what's available here at Rock Auto: 68 Fury...

Can you post a picture of what you're referring to? Most of the parts to rebuild leaf springs are available from various vendors on eBay, however, they may be known by other terms. The plastic pads (interliners), the fabric inner liners, the zinc liners, the spring pack clamps and rubber...

That particular switch is dual function, so yes, the brake lights were also controlled by that switch as well as the cruise cut out when the pedal is depressed.

There is always the option of a bolt in metering valve that is correct for the weight of your car, and even has the correct bracket and everything... as found for sale in this thread: For Sale - DISC BRAKE Proportioning Valves. BUDD Disc Brakes. 66-69 "C" Body & Imperial.

Nice bracket. Keep in mind that you'll have a challenge accessing the bracket's mounting bolt with the fender on - that's why the others all mount with the bolt on the INBOARD side of the stub frame rail. I believe you're on the right track with the port labelling, but there are others here...

Aint they? And for the most part here in Canada and USA, it makes my vintage cars unique at the cruise nights. Just that little extra sump'n' sump'n'!

I do - I will inquire.

Extremely rare - the part exists, but I've only ever seen one USA Monaco/Polara dash with a Kilo speedo. They were used in cars built for export to countries that used the metric system. Your likely only going to find a used one from somebody in Europe. That's where I found my kilo speedos...

Having used all 3 types of refrigerant over the last 30 years (R22, R134A, and butane types), it's all about optimizing pressure and charge weight to maximize cooling performance. Regarding the valves - I have run my systems with and without the various pressure valves as well - currently...
