    1971 Fury GT, Gold, Promo Car

    Hey Ben, great to see all the progress you are making. Did you save the original tank and emissions canister? If so did you line the tank with anything? Keep the documentation coming. Best Carl

    727 trans pan gasket that doesn't leak??

    Is 02464324AC a substitute? Amazon has that. If not can you suggest a good source for 02464324AD please? Does it need longer bolts than stock? I read that somewhere. Mine is overdue for replacement. Thanks in advance. Carl

    Pics of 69-73 C bodies

    Over 50 degrees in Upstate New York today and the snow is mostly melted. The roads were dry and largely salt free so the Fury woke up from hibernation long enough for a quick drink of ethanol free 91 octane.

    Suggestions for a "Performance" muffler that isn't too loud

    I have a pair of Walker Quiet Flow stainless steel mufflers on my Fury and have not noticed any drone. My neighbor says the car sounds great. Idle sound is good too. They weren't expensive either.

    Ran out of gas ugh!

    Could be a clogged up fuel filter or partially blocked fuel line causing fuel starvation. I had a Chevy years ago that would run fine in town but would suffer fuel starvation at highway speeds. I replaced the fuel filter and that cured it. Good luck.

    Voltage from regulator too high?

    I ordered a Mopar Performance Voltage Regulator from Summit. I sanded the firewall to bare metal by the mounting bolts and the back of the ears on the regulator. The triangular plastic shroud around the connectors needed a little shaving inside as it had extra material preventing the plug from...

    Voltage from regulator too high?

    I've checked everything that is readily accessible and can't find any poor connections or bad grounds. Has anyone done business with Alternatorparts.com? They have an adjustable voltage regulator that they say is compatible with the 2 field squareback alternator that is on my Fury. Thanks for...

    Voltage from regulator too high?

    I'm trying not to waste money on a regulator if that's not the issue. Overall the car is remarkably free of obvious corrosion in the wiring and connections but it is 52 years old. I agree that the high voltages I'm seeing when the car is running aren't good. Thanks again for responding.

    Voltage from regulator too high?

    Thank you for replying. The voltage across the battery terminals is within 0.1 of the digital voltmeter plugged into the cigarette lighter socket with the engine running or not.

    Voltage from regulator too high?

    Thanks for replying. With a digital ohmmeter set at 200 (lowest setting) I get a reading of 0.5 or 0.4 between the battery negative terminal and the case of the regulator. What does that tell me? Is there a poor connection that I need to try and locate or is the regulator bad or maybe both?

    Show me your raised whites!....please

    Front tires are older than the back and despite regular cleaning with a wire brush have faded to brownish as described by @Toolmanmike.

    Voltage from regulator too high?

    I keep the battery hooked up to a Battery Tender Jr most days and always disconnect the negative terminal when the car isn't being driven with one of those green threaded brass connectors. It floats at 13.3v when on charge. I mostly drive around my local area 10 miles or so at a time. The...

    Voltage from regulator too high?

    I've plugged an inexpensive volt meter into the cigarette lighter in my 71 Fury. The battery, after sitting all night, is usually between 12.6 and 12.7 during the warmer months of the year. When the car is running shortly after start up I see voltage around 14.9 with brief spells at 15 or even...
