Does anyone know the correct size of the staples to use above the rear window tack bow on a 1969 Plymouth Fury? Mine are coming out, and measure 5/16" crown, and 1/4" length, but that doesn't mean they are correct. I know I need to use stainless steel staples. Thanks.

I don't apply the e-brake, since that is applied only to the rear wheels, and the rears are locked by the automatic trans being in PARK, or on stickshift transmissions probably in reverse position. If I'm jacking up the rear, then I chock the front tires, yes.

Have a 1965 Fury, 741 rearend. Want to swap out the 2.93 open, to a 3.91 limited-slip which is also a 741 style rearend. Is it realistic that the axle seals will still seal after the swap, or should seal replacement be obvious? Thanks.

1957 manifold proven solution Rusty, I know what you are talking about. I have a 1965 Fury, 318 poly. I, too have a factory four-barrel manifold from the late 50's, or early 60's. To make it work on our mid 60's cars, I had my machine shop(Auto Machine in St. Charles, IL, $150) hog out the...
