    Last T&C

    I picked up a couple of copies. The article turned out great. I’ve made a lot of improvements since the photographs were taken over a year ago, but Jeff was on a deadline and it was then or never. I was happy to see it in print.

    Last T&C

    Jeff Koch and I have been friends for a very long time. Several of my cars have been photographed by Jeff and covered in the magazine. A 1954 Dodge Coronet Suburban (now owned by Jay Leno), 1985 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z, 1959 Plymouth Fury Junior, and the 1965 Plymouth Valiant Convertible pictured...

    Late model wiring diagram

    There was an electrical-specific service manual. It was very helpful when I restored my 77 T&C. Here's one on ebay for $10...1977 Chrysler Plymouth Dodge electrical Service Manual MN763 | eBay

    I located what I was looking for it was in my spare parts

    If it's aluminum, the original finish was gold anodized.

    Last T&C

    A friend of mine is a writer/photographer for Hemmings Classic Car magazine. He stopped by yesterday to photograph the T&C for a future publication. Attached are a couple of my phone pics. The professional ones are much better.

    WANTED C body wagon 3rd seat catch / stop

    They go back to 1960 and are very hard to find. It took me a year of two to find a pair for my '60 Polara when I converted it to a 9 passenger. Check with Murray Park at cbodies.com. When you find them, make sure the springs are there. You'll also need the chrome indents on the seat itself...

    Last T&C

    My wife and younger son joined me on the T&C’s maiden voyage to our local Bob’s Big Boy cruise night. It was an uneventful journey. The car acted like a car… which is as much a compliment as it is an insult. All old cars were new at one point in time. Some were quirky and a lot to deal with...

    Last T&C

    Hi Kevin! You have a good memory! Dad kept the car out of California for several months on a temporary Michigan title and then registered it in Nevada. He brought it into California as a used car. Lots of shenanigans!

    Last T&C

    It took six months to get the Brite Dip trim finished, but it was well worth the wait! One small piece of trim will be delivered tomorrow and then it’ll be done, except for the little issues that have come up. The thermostat seems to be stuck, there are some rattles I’d like to track down...

    One Turn Signal Blinks Super Slow+Dash Smoke-77 NYB

    On the right side of the instrument panel, smoke could be a resistor. Steam would be a leaking heater core. If it's the heater core, it's an awful job. Check your bulbs and connections for the slow blink. If the hazard switch is faulty, you may want to check that as well. Aaron

    Last T&C

    LST TNC (Last Town & Country) is the plate my father chose for it in 1977. It wasn’t “LAST TNC” because California only allowed 6 letters/numbers at the time.

    Last T&C

    The T&C is finally usable! It runs and drives well for a car still running Lean Burn. I’m still waiting for the “brite dip” trim to get done and I have to reinstall the trailer hitch. At least I can enjoy it in the meantime. There are a lot of fussy little things that need to be tackled, but...

    Heater Box: AC Evaporator removal. HELP

    That part is an A/C vacuum time delay relay. Mopar #2837697 Not sure about the evaporator removal. On my '77 I had to pull the box apart and the evaporator slid out. Aaron

    Horn Pad Removal-77 NYB

    The pad is just clipped into place (no screws). There are access holes on the back of the steering wheel. Use a Phillips head screwdriver (or a dowel) and gently push the pad away from the wheel from behind. Best way to not damage the pad. Aaron

    1964 Imperial Convertible Luggage Compartment

    I had a reverberator in my '65 NY. The amount of reverb (echo) was adjustable by a knob on the instrument panel. It sounded great. Aaron
