    Intermittent Heat Help -1965 Imperial Crown

    Does the car have a "heater control valve"? It's a valve that regulates the flow of hot coolant into the heater core. My old Volvos had these valves, a lot of cars in the mid-60s had them, made by Ranco. On the Volvo, the valve mounted on the cowl on the passenger side under the hood. There...

    Headlights are out, tail lights OK

    Oh yes John, as I re-read your post (I appreciate the input), yes, the new under-dash toggle is indeed rated at 20A.

    Headlights are out, tail lights OK

    Thanks Big John. I had the dash switch rebuilt by Devin Duke 5 years ago when I bought the car. The headlights didn't work then, and somebody here on this forum recommended Devin to rebuild the factory switch. That rebuilt switch has worked just great until I left the lights on. At...

    Headlights are out, tail lights OK

    Thanks 413, but no. I transplanted the known good dimmer switch from my 65 NYer, into the Newport with the same result. And, (read back through my post), with the power coming from the battery directly and not through the headlight switch, the footswitch in the 67 Newport still works just fine.

    Headlights are out, tail lights OK

    Here's a bit of a long story. Two weeks ago, I drove the 67 Newport Custom to a car show over in Lakeland, about 50 miles away. People were driving like idiots as usual, so I flicked on my headlights and put on the hi-beams so they could see me coming. I got to Lakeland and parked the...

    1975 gran fury heater core removal?

    I think it would be less trouble to just move to Florida, where we never need the heater. Yet, there are other issues here in Florida.

    No title bill of sale

    There needs to be a national standard for this problem. Some states don't need titles for cars over 25 years old, some states do. Beware if you live in Missouri, those folks won't cut you a break. It's a common thing in the old car hobby to have "open" titles. Don't do it; don't accept a...

    65 New Yorker, first project car

    Hey Richard! It's me Richard (58) writing from Tampa. Here's what I did on my 65 New Yorker 3 years ago, and all is working perfectly fine these last 3 years, but I am sure someone will chime in to tell me I am wrong. I have done this conversion on two cars with no issues over multiple years...

    1966 Dodge Monaco

    Possible collapsed soft hoses? Possible clogged brake pipes (lines)? I guess if fluid is flowing when the brakes are bled, then the lines and hoses should be OK. Hmmmm....this is a brain teaser.

    1968 New Yorker Valuation and opinions needed

    Thanks JW, I had the front seat re-upholstered, and the 727 had to be rebuilt. I farmed those two tasks out. I rebuilt the brake system completely. Also replaced all hoses, wires, pumps, radiator, master cylinder, carb rebuild, tune up, and tires. But that's stuff I did myself and enjoyed...
