Thank you very much for all the information! And yes. My temperature guage works fine. There is no movement at all when I hit the key. I replaced the sending unit a while back and no change. I’m kinda concerned about removing the instrument panel only because I’m worried I may open up can of...

After a bit of testing, I’ve come to the conclusion that my gas guage is bad In my 67 Polara. Does anyone have any tips on whats involved in chang it? Not sure if the dash would have to be removed? Just thought I’d put it out there before I start digging into it. Thanks!

Contact Murray Park in Ohio. He has them already rebuilt and ready to go. Not too horribly expensive either.

I have no idea what their exact name is but the rubber covers that drape over the upper control arms. Anybody know if anyone makes them for c bodies? And what is the correct terminology for them?

Not a fan of Rock Auto at all. Will never buy from there again for a multitude of reasons. As for me, I don’t mind paying extra for my parts if they have a lifetime guarantee. And also, if there is ever any kind of problem, I can make a phone call, talk to someone I know personally, and get the...

I’m sorry. $138.00 a piece.

I am in the middle of doing a front drum to disc conversion. If you have the 69 to 72 spindles, you can get the rotors at Autozone right now. Duralast Part number 5300. That number will cross reference to the 7012R rotor that you are hearing about. They are $128.00 a piece. I wouldn’t waste any...

Well I would love to see that car in Turbine Bronze Poly

Thanks for all the input fellas. I put a new pair on about 5 years ago and they a sagging big time! Just can’t remember where they came from and can’t find the paperwork. I’m thinking they are junky imported crap though. Will be ordering a new set this winter. Thanks again!!

Does anyone have a suggestion on who make a good leaf spring for C bodies.

I really appreciate the input fellas. It would have taken some pretty serious convincing for me to get one of those aftermarket couplers but still wanted to throw it out there. I honestly think those things are a total rip off. I can’t see how they are any advantage at all. And they want $250.00...

I am putting a upgraded steering box from Steer and Gear in my Polara. Along with every other steering and suspension part imaginable. I have a few friends that are telling me that I have to put a Flaming river steering coupler on to really make it right. As much as I have starred at my...

Even though this is unrelated to your timing chain, you may want to have a spare ignition control module if it hasn’t been changed. Or maybe change it and keep the original as a spare.

Pretty sure you’ll find it’s a 741. I think the 742 became more common in late 67 but I could be wrong About that

Hello Ben. I was just curious about your headers? I used Hedman shorties but still had to modify to clear the steering box? Just was wondering if you found something specific to C body?
