    MOPARs at the Red Barns 2023

    And I almost had a catastrophe right out of the gate as I was warming up to check transmission fluid and noticed my upper radiator hose doing this. Yikes. I guess the cap just wasn't on quite right.

    MOPARs at the Red Barns 2023

    The rest.. I have a soft spot for the 74 Hang 10 Dart. The upholstery and orange shag carpet really speaks to me LOL.

    MOPARs at the Red Barns 2023

    There were a lot more cars there (489) than I recall last year.. I think I got pics of all our style represented (plus a few other cool ones). Pretty much all Furies though, the beautiful New Yorker was the only other one I found. No 300's/Monaco's/etc.

    MOPARs at the Red Barns 2023

    Anyone going to the Mopar show at the Gilmore museum on the 22nd? I only saw one of my vintage Furies last year (a really nice '67). Several 65-66's but it seemed like a lot of the folks there had late model Challengers.

    Proper length for 68 Fury PS return line

    Hey all, I'm still dinking around with this leaking power steering return line fitting but I see no reason for it to do so. The fitting and o-rings are new and the mating surface is clean and blemish free. Is there a standard length that I could've screwed up some of internal mojo with by...

    Transmission fluid pool near valve cover

    Thanks all, I had no idea green, sweet smelling antifreeze turns orange and odorless when sitting on a painted, slightly corroded surface. I dribbled a little more in that area and let it sit overnight and sure enough, it was completely orange/red. The entire puddle under the car was orange...

    Transmission fluid pool near valve cover

    Ugh, didn't smell like gas but gasoline and red paint does explain the color I guess. Will do immediately. Thanks guys.

    Transmission fluid pool near valve cover

    My uneventful water pump, etc. replacement last weekend appears to be a short term victory. Last night after a short trip to Napa I discovered a pool of transmission fluid from a weep hole (?) on top of the engine near the valve cover.. The FSM doesn't appear to mention this. Does anyone...

    '68 Fury 318 stock radiator replacement with Cold Case

    So I decided to replace the water pump and thermostat while I was screwing around with the fan since it was so close by. I could tell from the discoloration/corrosion of the pump housing that it had... seen some things even though the impeller looked ok. I was also incorrect about the t-stat...

    '68 Fury convertible top cover question

    That's an excellent idea as I too have back issues. I'll have to experiment with that.

    '68 Fury convertible top cover question

    Thanks! That makes more sense. In your first pic is the "trunk vinyl" attached behind the metal trim piece on the back of the seat, or is it tucked down into the space behind the seat?

    '68 Fury convertible top cover question

    Yeah, there's a channel on top of the metal piece in the pic where the rubber strip is peeking out from. But it doesn't have room for both the trunk strip and top strip.

    '68 Fury convertible top cover question

    Hey All, Last year at a "Cars & Coffee" one of the guys running the show noticed that my snap on boot cover wasn't connected to my seat back. As it is now the vinyl piece the top rests on in the trunk is pressed into the metal channel with a rubber strip (I removed it a little to take a look)...

    '68 Fury 318 stock radiator replacement with Cold Case

    I'll pick one up ASAP. Thanks! And still cheaper than a radiator.
