Thanks CBODY67! -mm

Hello C body people! I have a 68 Newport convertible, (with 15" rims not the stock 14"). I have the skosh chart and as a reference it lists driving style Camber Caster Granny -.25 degrees +1.5 degrees typ Perf street...

Thanks Ross, the foam is ancient in condition, entirely dry and crumbles under very slight touch. I was contemplating to lay a Harbor Freight shipping blanket over it, but it won't reliably support that either. then I was thinking about putting a plank on the seat, then blanket, but..... I'd...

Hello, Looking for a 'good enough' or better front seat for a 55 Chrysler, can be Windsor, New Yorker, 300, Imperial. My current seat is too worn out. Looking for something usable a few rips ok, but worthy of sitting on. Color doesn't matter. (I already have a beat up one in need of...

Thanks Gary, I just called hot heads and they have my buying history and confirmed I got the whole enchilada 5 or so years back, including the small block distributor, distributor extender, Chrysler orange box and 5 wire harness ( I loosely refer to this as a 4 wire harness as 1 wire is not...

Thanks Big John, What I mean by "4 wire" is 4 useful wires, the 5th wire is NC or not connected. The distributor... It is not a true clone. I'd like to avoid the points, so Hot heads sold me a whole kit (5 + years back during covid. I just called them and they were very helpful.). The...

Thanks for this Vaanth, appreciate this. I may just get a new 4 wire harness & box, instead of finding the correct way to wire the 3 wire harness with the one I bought previously (a few years back). This diagram is fine, but the wires to the distributor, are not part of the provided subject...

I'm calling 'wiring' different from 'ignition'. For 'wiring', I'm going with a kwik wire kit since all bulbs and items are 6V. the wires are meh and the insulation is worse (being a 70 year old car). My goal its to get it running and wrench on more correct methods during the off season. (similar...

Hello Mopar Enthusiasts! I'm attempting to wire the ignition for my current project, the 1955 300 clone, and could use a mental realignment on which wires go where. I'm going with what I'm familiar with, something similar to a 1968 Newport ignition, but not with points, rather an Orange Box...

Yes, one of the best favors the music industry ever did for C-body vert owners. Ha! The one from good-Fellas was a 1966 Newport also yellow vert, bad *** scene.

Greetings all. I found an old 727 with PK2801544K 2413 0156 - assuming it is about 6 March1968 by this method. What do the PK numbers reveal? this is a 4 pinion unit, missing the drum and stuff. Thanks as always, Mike

Mudeblue, Did you resolve the over-heating issue? I was plagued by the same ghost for way too long. I had a newer radiator, so that didn't make the list of suspects, but when I finally relented to having it flow tested, sure enough it had blockages and was the culprit after all. After a new...

That's awesome. Thanks Big_John. Great idea.

Thanks live4theking. Not bent, will dive in to McMaster. I've done bizz with Murray before. Hard to find usable used air hoses, but he usually comes through. Although, I'm still looking for a unicorn.

Hi C-body fans!, I'm hoping the collective C-body brain can suggest a good source for heater (air-hoses), that are connected to the heater box. non A/C car. There are 2 x 2.375" id hoses and 1 x 4.375" x 7.875" oval hose. Thanks in advance, Mike
