Thanks again, I took a look and it looks like they used the same basic image for several bodies, not just the Cs that we have. Like I said, I think it's good enough for me and the girls I date!

Thanks, I appreciate it. The part is mostly back in shape now. The threads are a bit off—kind of like an overextended Slinky—but manageable. The next thing I need to figure out is the clip. I could probably rig something up, but the issue is that the .310" clip is too big for the .250" rod...

Welp, after a archeological dig in the trunk, I found two linkages. The boss is the right diameter on the trunk found unit, but it looks like it was mangled up when the engine was swapped. Now I guess I need to bend it back into shape. Hopefully the manual will give me a idea what she was...

I musta had one too many cold snacks last time I was under the polara. Seems the hole to thread the brake cable through was welded shut. I can only guess that I saw the larger hole before the one that actually holds the stub. Just took a few minutes of drilling. I dung throught the trunk and...

I handed this off to our best manual machineist and he gave it back telling me it's been hardened at the tip and his files were bouncing off it. Next I asked the wire edm lead and he checked the Rockwell and she was pretty hard. The CNC mill guy told me he could put it in a vice and could write...

Not that I can see. Here's a pic.

Hey all, Looking for some help again—this time with transmission linkage. I have a 1968 Polara 500, 383 with a 2-barrel, mated to a 727. The car is an unfinished project from a close friend who passed, so unfortunately I can’t ask him the important questions—like what happened to the...

I have a 1968 Polara 500 convertible I have been slowly turning back into a driver. There is a bushing or as the 67 manual calls it out, a retainer that is missing. This retainer is shown below from the 67 manual. Does anyone have one, or perhaps share with me the dimensions so I can print or...

I ordered the Raybestos hoses. They are much closer to the length of the hoses that were on the car.

Thanks, mobileparts What is the part number and where do I order them?

Okay MoPar~Man, you cringe at the brake hoses I was sold, but did you have anything constructive to add? I mean, I started the post explaining that I already knew the hoses were not a good solution; right?

Look at the brand I have too.

Boy has the learning curve been sharp for me. Here is what I am up against currently. The front brake hoses I took off the car were about 14" and the ones I bought are 13.75". With the car jacked up and and the wheel at full lock, the hose is tight, so tight that I could see them ripping...

Finally talking a moment to introduce myself.... I had a good friend name Scott. at least 5 years ago, I was telling Scott that my love for cars was something I found difficult to share with my family after having kids. At the time I had a 2 seaters and motorcycles and they were not conducive...
