Hi John, thanks for this. No, there aren’t any ‘60s American cars at all here in my part of the world - just mine. I’ve had a love of them since I was a kid in the 1970s when they weren’t that old themselves! I have all the manuals in searchable .pdf which are from MyMopar.com so will have a...

Hi everyone, the mystery continues but your response has helped us establish it definitely is a 383..... thank you so much... I stopped driving her a couple of months ago after hearing a localised knock & coaxed her gently the rest of the 2-3miles home. She is normally a really strong, quiet...

Hi there, currently my car motor is in bits at my local garage. The mechanic isn’t convinced the engine is a 383 as we’ve always thought. He reckons the number in the pic reads 2408518 10.... any ideas would be really appreciated. Thank you.

My excellent and experienced mechanic friend who works on the trickier stuff on my ‘67 Monaco Wagon 383 2BBL in a land far, far away here in the Scottish Borders kindly gave me this.... He said it has practically magical properties and is so advanced you can leave it in your engine for a while...

What an amazing coincidence!! The Museum of Flight is just up the road from us and We were commissioned to distill & brand a special edition ‘Fortune Favours the Bold’ Gin and ‘R34 Brandy’ (Airship 1st transatlantic crossing & return 100th Anniversary!! And... My very small bar ‘RUTHERFORDS...

WOW!!! That’s AMAZING! I’m going to see if we can do this as my Polish mechanic friend is very clever at adapting and making stuff for my car. Thank you - it’s useful interchange information like this that helps keep us C Body fanatics rolling!

Thank you, that’s very helpful indeed. We managed to get top ones here in the uk for a very reasonable £70 the pair & managed to save the current lower ones as there is no play at all thankfully when inspected properly. One rubber boot was replaced with one we found fitted from the Drum type...

Thanks all, I’m now looking for brake discs but they weren’t fitted as standard. Mine is a period factory upgrade to the Budd 4 piston set up so I amazingly found the Calipers & pads here in the uk but now looking for discs but no idea what part number or interchangeability with later models...

Has anybody got any idea where I can get New front Brake Discs (mines got new Budd 4 piston Brakes) for my 67 Monaco Wagon? Part numbers would be helpful too as they were quite a rare factory upgrade from new. Possibly same as ones they fitted to later models... Many thanks as always!

Thanks for that, very useful advice indeed - I’ll definitely look into this. I used to live in Edinburgh for 16 years, we now live very rurally in the Scottish Borders in between Duns and Chirnside. I’ve owned my car for a 1 1/2 years and have never seen another older American car on the road at...

They are! Mine don’t seem worn just boots are falling apart. I just can’t afford or justify the prices I’m finding for the whole lower BJ! I’ve bought good, many whole roadworthy vehicles for less!

Thanks for confirming this - that’s what I was thinking after looking at the link they kindly put up

Thank you - that’s really helpful
