Congratulations to them both on the wedding. I bet the Polara made for a memorable honeymoon trip. Glad they could get past this.

Maybe the girlfriend is an FCBO member.

Here's another for the record. 1970 Fury III sedan PM41G0D176107.

Is that a 74 reservoir? Does it involve drilling new holes or anything to make it work?

I am probably not as fastidious as I should be (as you can see from the state of the engine compartment). It seems like a safety item especially with the dry climate here since every time there is a smattering of rain there's dust blowing around beforehand. But honestly it just boils down to...

This is an off the shelf washer reservoir kit from NAPA. I didn't want anything too nice so it would remind me to keep praying for a repop.

Needs a washer bottle but otherwise...

Wow that gray interior is beautiful.

I got an 18 inch blade to try. It does provide better coverage and nothing in the way. Looking at it, it turns out it looks like one of those suspect Trico Classic with the sparkly coating although there was no paperwork in the package. It's definitely taller and barely clears the hood...

Over two inches to upper windshield trim with 16 inch blades. About 1 inch from end of drivers wiper to furthest sweep of passenger wiper. Passenger side about 3 inches to A-pillar. So nothing there to indicate 18 inch wouldn't work. However the outer end of the pass side is only 1/4 inch...

Is there some original documentation of the correct wiper lengths? The 16 inch blades on a 70 fury are not creating the coverage shown in the washer aiming diagram on page 8-100 of the FSM The paths don't intersect. Does that mean that something with the wipers is out of adjustment, or don't...

That's the best of both worlds...70 hood and 71 grille. For people like me that can't decide which is better. Beautiful Fury.

I went and got a FSM. It says to remove the right inner fender shield and to see group 23 for detailed illustrations. Any idea what page they are referring to? Is inner fender shield, fender well, wheelhouse all the same thing?

That would make sense about critter debris, when I got it the cowl vent ducts were cram full of leaves and nests. I made a little flexible tube attachment for the shop vac and spent quite a while pulling stuff out from inside on both sides. This sounds like a large project. I will get a...

I was told about another local radiator shop. He reconditioned it in one day, repainted it, for $200. No more leaks. Even if it isn't permanent I am delighted to keep the original radiator. Glad i asked around some more locally. Here's a photo at the top of the continental divide. Ran...
