I bought my tank from them the first year they offered it; picked it up at Carlisle Chrysler Nationals. The sending unit was very poorly positioned and the gauge could never reach full height. (but it did read correctly from E to F) I did my best to bend the gauge to work but ended up...

I’ve sadly done this job too many times in the past couple years. I will always just drop the tank. It’s just so much easier to see that the gasket is sealing correctly, easier to maneuver the sending unit in at an angle that doesn’t force too much pressure and lastly it’s just less physically...

I got mine at Vans Auto. Their newer batch works well for me. Sending Unit 3/8" Mopar 1965 - 1966 C-Body

1973 Chrysler Newport

Yeah, sorry about that. I got the c body boots from Vans on eBay a couple of years ago, but don’t see them now. You can just buy the clips on eBay from various senders for around $12. You may be able to reach out to Craig @mobileparts too. The boots and clips I got from Vans fit perfect...

I bought new boots and clips at Vans. Torsion Bar Boots- Seals, Clips Mopar 1960 - 1976

I recently read the same thing over on B-bodies. Marine or electrical heat shrink with the adhesive. Others have also reported fluid in the line caused by a o-ring failure, so I'll pull most of these cables and look into getting all the o-rings replaced. I haven't really touched this...

That site is missing the manual for 65 Dodge but I do have a paper copy which I just found again. Ok, looks like it is the Parking lock cable and gear shift control cable. I suppose I'll still see if I can find a parking lock cable. Turns out both mopars I've owned were 65's (Dart, and...

What is the other line going into the transmission just a few inches back. Both feed into the shifting mechanism from the column? It is the other line seen in the 2nd photo above.

Ok. I was thinking this line is mechanical in nature, but it is certainly full of fluid, as I can watch it drip out after wiping. Perhaps it has accumulated inside the sleeve and is leaking from where it connects to the transmission? I definitely need to replace rubber seals where I can as...

Hey folks, finally got some time to look at the cause of the trans fluid puddling under the car. Seems this line melted again the exhaust. I must have not noticed and forgot to tie it back when replacing the exhaust. Can this part be bought? What options for replacement? 65 Polara...

Sorry, late to the conversation. When they sent me the correct firewall adaptor, they also sent me a replacement threaded rod which I used. I didn't have to weld anything, just shorten the rod to match the total length of the original.

By the way, they told me I ordered the wrong kit and that’s why that mounting bracket doesn’t fit, so they sent me another that was “closer” to fitting straight on, but still pushed the booster out a few inches toward the front of the car. They said I should have gotten a “power” brakes vs a...

I had the same problem with this on my 65 polara. I ended up directly mounting it to the firewall like the original. I did need to drill holes to accommodate this. I shortened the pushrod, it was just threaded rod, to match the original length. I can get you some pics perhaps if helpful.

That is the point I was trying to make. I know these are off the shelf rotors, calipers, and pads, but I'd rather have a choice to purchase them anywhere. Everything came in a generic white box, the calipers were labeled "Mustang caliper", but I'd just prefer they give a vehicle year, make...
