    '67 C body production info aka "How many?"

    Kudos to you for sharing this information. I have a number of years of those Ward's Annuals, and when you go through them carefully, you realize that what they're printing is Calendar Year information, not model year information. So it's not exactly useless, but almost. The earliest SG30s I'm...

    NOT MINE 1976 NYB

    WTF is a "Safe Point Inpsection" and why is it $400 bucks? Lots and lots of kitchy stuff done to the car, which, thankfully can mostly be undone. Further posters speculation is likely correct. There's no front bumper rubber bits at the outer ends on cars built for the Great White North...

    Questions on timing chain and oil slinger

    I put a double roller chain and CNC machined gears in a /6. At certain RPMs when the engine is at maximum torque, I can hear the cam gear ring very gently. I love the sound.

    suspension

    This is hilarious! Why on earth would anyone want to take out the original torsion bar suspension to put in a variation of the bent-bar front end design from Fbodies? The whole thing is going to be riding in four pucks. If they're rubber, they're going to squirm and that makes for some really...

    Ever see brake booster like this?

    This type of booster was used a lot in the early '60s by Chrysler because it could be mounted anywhere, and as you can see it pushes the fluid itself and not the brake pedal. It's also commonly used on school buses that don't have air brakes.

    My new to me 1971 Paisley Imperial

    Any idea who put that vinyl top on? Chrysler sure as hell didn't.

    Brakes creaking? What's the spring the encircles the drum for ? 57 Belvedere

    That spring is a vibration dampener. If it's not there the brake drum can howl like a banshee.

    what is best oil to use on 1978 Chrysler with 400 engine?

    Depends on whether your definition of "best" is the most expensive or the least expensive. Most expensive is any of the name brand oils that advertise they're full of zin and manganese and are the cat's *** for flat tappet engines. The least expensive is to use your choice of modern oil (which...

    Broadcast Sheet Question

    None of that stuff was "standard" on a car built for Canada. Block heaters and Group 27 batteries were optional. No Chrysler product in these years had heated outside rearview mirrors and there was only one size of windshield washer bottle. One correction: Cars sold in Quebec "may" have...

    Broadcast Sheet Question

    The carb will be different. The EGR plumbing will be different. The distributor curves may be different.

    NOT MINE 1958 Chrysler Imperial 2-door Southampton Hardtop in San Fernando, CA - $29,999

    What a ******* dreamer! Later alternator, absolutely crap material on the seats. Steering wheel wrapped to hide all the cracks. Plus GOK what else. For $30k this car should be IMMACULATE.

    And it's not a Chrysler Imperial. It's an Imperial LeBaron.
