Pat Blais is well-known when it comes to Parts 727 especially hard to find pre-66 parts. I recently bought Parts off of him so I thought I would ask his opinion. He thinks its "Appears to be one of the 2 'double-wrap' ('Spiro-Lock') thin metal capture rings which secure the 'ribbed' boot/seal on...

yeah I've never had the tail shaft of a pre 1966. Heck for all I know it could have been lost in the tail shaft during a previous rebuild I dont know for history of the car. Just hoping someone had experience with the push button 727 and could for sure say what it was.

I will start off by saying it’s a 1965 727 so it’s the push button style. Transmission runs and shifts great no noise nothing out of place. Today while I was replacing the O-ring on the housing that retains the speedometer gear I noticed a small piece of metal just behind the housing using a...

Would try the trick to make sure it's in neutral or park and start it but it'll start in gear. believe someone has bypass the safety switch at some point in time. transmission pan gasket has been leaking anyways so I'll check it out when I pull the pan by having someone move the selector while...

you're right I didn't really look that closely it is an A not V.

I purchased my 65 Chrysler with two of these wheels on the back and two in the trunk as they were missing their lug nuts. anyone know the manufacturer of these wheels and what kind of lug nuts setup it is? would like to use the full set if I can find the lug nuts for the front. I know there a...

Thanks

I have a 1965 Chrysler Newport 2-door I'm having problems locating the back glass rubber. car has been leaking sometime that causes the rear floorboards to get wet. after doing some looking I believe it's leaking at the bottom of the rear window and running behind the seats and soaking into the...
