OK here is the story. In looking for hoses for the 65 413 I see that it is hard to fine a lower hose with the spring in it. I see that the cure is a 13" X 1 5/8" spring that Ford web sites sell. Is this a legitimate fix? Other options? Thanks for the info you have.....

One more thing-the 65 is the last year of the rear pump in the tranny. So you can push start it and tow with out removing the drive shaft. 65 New Yorker and a few Imperial touches like the door arm rest is a built in to the door panel and not a bolt on rectangle. Drive train is smoother with the...

Thanks for the information but I do have new engine splash shields. I was asking about the rear fender skirts rubber between the body and the skirt.

OK got the hub caps shining and waxed. Started in on the fender skirts which look good but the rubber lip seal/anti-squeek is rolled up like a rope and melted into one big lump. Does anyone sell these? Anyone have the sizes of the seal? Was able to get a shine on the fender skirts. Again thank you.

Thanks-I thought that might be it. I had a 66 New Yorker but it had 15" disk brakes hub caps so no reference to go by. I think I like the 65 better....

OK first I do not know if this is the right forum for this question. Hub caps. 1965 New Yorker. I spent a few hours today cleaning/polishing the four hub caps. I noticed that one of them has a Factory indent were the valve stem comes through. The other three are flush in that area. Was there a...

So the car is a post January1965 build New Yorker wagon and I got the replacement A/C condenser but need to paint it or not? And did the car get a "Air Condition by Auto Temp" decal on a window? I know 66 and up did but 65?

Ya I am thinking that the 66 and later are four studs like my 64 Valiant. 65 seems to be a year on to it's own some times.

Sorry but I am not getting the notice from C bodies for when a response is given so I check in every few days.. Yes i know about the "ears", already mounted to the speaker but have to hold off until the speaker grill is mounted. Yes it is a Chrysler New Yorker (Post January build) but my grill...

OK I have the am/fm radio and a new 6X9 speaker. PO (previous owner) had taken it all out. So far I found in the parts pile the mounting brackets and the radio mounting strap and the nuts for it. He took out the grill-why I do not know. I see it has 4 screw that hold it in. what size are they...

And a quick question. The lower body trim on the New Yorker sedans/hardtop. Was it put on the wagons as well? I have seen photos both ways. And did the wagons in 65 get a rear speaker as a option? Thanks from Georgia.

That looks like the same one as on my 60 Pontiac. Is that a push button at the top? Pull the light up vertical and it will slide out. rotate it around ti see if it goes out at all. While many are mercury switches many were also a small steel ball that would roll around and connect to a...

I see a lot of fresh torn metal. I am looking for LINE OF RUST/DISCOLOR. Then look for bright shinny metal on the edge, polished looking. That is were the crack was and the two sides of the crack rubbed each other and polished each other. Dull areas are fresh breaks. After that would need a...

Wish I could see the edge of the center piece. I use to lead a DPA (Destructive Physical Analyses) department for a military/Space company.

Motorola use to make a kit for all three suppressors. Can find them on ebay from time to time. That capacitor is .25mfd at 400 volts (for the big spikes) if memory is right.
