Interesting. The guy who sold it to me was an interesting fella. He lived up in the mountains and the county told him due to neighbor complaints he had to get some cars off his property especially the mechanically challenged ones. He was flipping cars from Copart. He grabbed it from them, then...

Well if you’re in to wagons you’ll get a chuckle out of this beauty in my neighborhood! I should ask him for my window slides he has 8 damn doors worth!

Those guys are something else! God bless them. I can barely keep up with passwords and user names these days. Nice looking ride you have there

I’m just making it a fun car that will look like a cop car. If it was a true K code polara I’d be putting it back to correct. This clearly isn’t and I’m more of a get them on the road again and have fun with them on the strip and street. That is the fun part with c bodies they’re cheap when you...

Here you go. Interior is out right now for drivers floor pan repair and restoration. Was a saddle tan car. Just got the seats back and door panels from the upholster. The interior was roached out from the Colorado sun. Gonna have a big project restoring the dash, it will be doable but a lot...

Thanks for the replies guys. It’s a 383 equipped car. Still has original drivetrain which seems to have never been out of the car. I’ll be yanking the motor here soon and off to the machine shop. Gonna give it a police clone treatment. Have an original police cluster ready to go in it and the...

I’ve been trying to locate a replacement for these plastic guides. 1971 polara 4 door. Most of them are damaged and ordered some e body ones to see if they would work but they’re too big. Anybody have a suggestion or am I stuck with floppy windows? Here are some pics with what is factory...

The rotor and cap had an impact mark on them. I replaced them at the time and reset the timing. It retarded the timing ten degrees from the impact. I think it just took some time for that bushing to get out of tolerance where I was able to finally notice all these problems. Lesson learned...

Probably a tool made for it I’m sure instead of me making a mess of it. On to give more money to summit!

Or threaded rod and plate and use the block as support to back it out?

Now who has a good trick removing that. Thread it and use a slide hammer?

Funny uncle Tony’s garage just had a video about this. Probably should’ve watched that earlier!

Well that distributor whack was the culprit when the clip came off. Intermediate shaft is worn out and bottom of the distributor gear. Put the cap 180 out and it moved to number 4 cylinder. Tower bushing and shaft and gear on the way.

Leak down was at tdc. Going fishing today. Definitely something to look at. Have a mini bore scope coming to take a peak in there before I crack open the motor. I'll keep the updates coming.
