I'd have to run out and check it. It's been a while since I bought it. Whatever it is, I don't like it.

So, my 70 Sport Fury has a 69 440 in it right now. I'm running an Edelbrock on it, and I hate it. It is impossible to start. The air cleaner doesn't fit well on it. I am ready to get rid of it. As such, can anyone recommend what carb I should go with? Appreciate the input.

Figured I'd post my yearly search for a driver's side quarter panel for my formal roof 70 Sport Fury. Think I'm going to put it up for sale, but want to get the quarter fixed first. Thanks

Great info. Thanks guys I will check all of this stuff out.

Interesting. Thanks for the replies. I'm coming up on needing a new car and I was just thinking, well, why don't I just make my old, old car better than it is....

I'll try the Lock-Ease first. It seems like the tumbler is out of whack, however. Super hard to get the key in. I have to wiggle slowly with some pressure to actually get it to go in and turn.

Has anyone tried to drop one of these into our C-bodies? Curious as to how much fab work would be required. Mopar Performance 345 Crate HEMI V8 Engine 5.7L Eagle Gen III - 68303088AC | Mopar Online Parts

I need to rebuild my door hinges on the 70 Sport Fury, and my driver's side door lock is getting impossible to fit the key in and open, so might as well tackle that as well. What have people done? Just end up matching the door locks with the trunk lock? Open to suggestions here.

I'm in need of the driver's side quarter.

Well I found a NOS 70 formal roof quarter panel. They want $2200. I'm not sure there's a formal roof 70-71 Fury on the planet that warrants a $2200 quarter panel. At most, this should be $1000-1200. What's a sport roof quarter go for, $5000? Sadly, I'll consider getting it because I haven't...

Thanks. Yeah, I think I'm going to keep holding out for a formal quarter. I told the person I'd let them know tomorrow. It's just a way easier process if I have the correct one.

Thanks. Appreciate the help. I also have decision to make whether to keep waiting for a formal roof quarter, or just deal with the extra welding and finally pull the trigger. I haven't been as diligent as I should have been the last couple years due to other projects, but it's been a long time.

OK, I've asked about 69 vs. 70, but wanted to confirm this one: quarter panels on the 70 and 71 are pretty much identical, no? I've found a 71 sport roof quarter for my 70. While not ideal as I just wanted to remove at the seams, I think it won't require too much cutting. Mainly, I want to...

I'm definitely interested in one if you remember where you got it.

Sure, I saw it. I just NEVER had a problem here on the forums. I haven't been on in a while and wanted to know if this had become common or not is all. Wasn't complaining.
