Without looking at the letter, I'm suspecting that some of the things the A07 package included on the Polara were already standard on the Monaco? End result, the upgraded Polara was more equipment-even with the Monaco, which the salesperson could point out to the customer. Nicer equipment...

I was just going by looks of normal dual plane intakes. I would want to see the actual plenum before I would change my mind. NOTR to say that my mind could not be changed! Every other dual plane iintake I have seen shows the runners from the center plenum being separate for each plane of the...

I would expect ANY Imperial to have some sort of "radio" in it, even if it was dealer-installed. After all, this was the LUXURY-class Chrysler. I would be more concerned about the Spare Tire Cover being optional! Surprised that ATC II was a inexpensive as it was. IF the car had been built 10...

Weiand built lots of different intakes back then. Like what Edelbrock did, back then. IF the referenced Weiand-type intake is a single plane intake (as it appears to be), it WILL kill lower-rpm torque because of that design. What I see kind of looks like a tunnel ram plenum with very short...

When I first saw that Miller Tools "factory tool", I was amazed that it had that much variability as to the needle position on the gauge scale. Such variability can display the amount of variance in production items, though. Still, I consider the gauges to be generally accurate. An IR heat...

The PCV system uses straight manifold vacuum. Strange that they could not use the lh rr intake manifold runner for that, as OEM. In normal use, using their existing vac source can probably work just fine, BUT as pcv vapors work their way toward the vac booster, THEN issues can surface as to...

For some reason, the links I type do not always work, so might need to input that address manually yourself.

Understand that although GM/Saginaw built the column, it is NOT exactly the same as the ones GM built for their cars. Chrysler engineers made changes THEY wanted that GM was not doing, by observation. So that CAN be some crossover in the parts, but do not expect that. The existing bearings...

Welcome from north central TX! 1968 300s (especially convertibles) are some of Chrysler's best looking cars, to me (although there are lots of others, too!). Yes, the car DOES deserve to be restored. CBODY67

1n 1972, "Fury III" is VIN model code "PH". In 1972, Fury Grand Coupe and Grand Secan are VIN model code "PP" (Plymouth Premium). As such, the Grand Coupe/Grand Sedan would have appropriate badging, too. Inside and out. With the less-vertical leading edge of the C-pillar and ONE rear...

The Factory Service Manual usually has the wiring schematics in it. Might want to print it off. www.mymopar.com for a free download. Nice looking car. Should be good when finished. CBODY67

On the GM HEI, when installed in a Chevy 350 V-8, the "cross-bar" on the top of the cap should be parallel to the cowl. FWIW, CBODY67

(Port layout looks like a Poly A-block rather than the later LA A-blocks?)

There is no particular #1 position on the distributor itself. You can make it any one you want to, provided that the distributor rotation and related firing order is followed. In the diagrams in the Chrysler factory service manual (and others), you can reference the firing order by the...

The advantage of the 2-stroke motor oil is to put lubricity back into the fuel. Lubricity that Seafoam and ethanol tend to take out, as they can (especially the ethanol component in the fuel) dry out and "degrease" the items the fuel touches. Not sure about the green stuff you mention or where...
