    Trans fluid .

    I did use Valvoline... One of my cars the tranny was rebuilt before I bought it and it seemed to shift firmer than expected and assumed maybe there was Type F. Definitely shifts softened now with Dex III but never heard of the Citgo.. The other trans is original 120K so I will just stick with...

    Trans fluid .

    I always thought Dexron III was standard refill. Seems to work good in a couple 727's I have. In one I put in a small bottle of Lucas trans fix and it took care of some slippage I had going in reverse.

    Tires for 1978 Chrysler New Yorker

    When I get around to replacing my 20 yr old Cooper Trendsetters, I'll be ready to bite the bullet for these. There around $315 a piece based on Milestar carcass and are available with the the thin double white wall from that era, few yrs earlier actually. They don't show them on the site but...

    WTF has happened to VHT SP126???? OUTRAGEOUS!

    ...or the great covid reset companies have taken advantage of. Parts stores like Autozone have gutted themselves of anything from this era. With in a couple months last yr they stopped carrying valley pans even online. No brake pads even into the 80's. Back to the paint, something happened to...

    Least expensive way to bright headlights?

    I had much improvement using the Sylvania Xtravision H5006. Nice clean white light without the hassle and harshness of LED conversion. I did do the relay upgrade before hand for another reason and that didn't help the quality of light but kept the car from catching fire...

    Should I adjust trans

    My trans chattered going into reverse so I took a crack at adjusting the bands and even played with the pressure. It didn't resolve the issue completely but adding Lucas trans additive did. A few thousand miles later it's been good. There's a 125k on it...

    Firm Feel Rebuilt Steering Gear on 1970 Fury 440/727

    I went with the stear & gear modern feel unit on my '77. There's still an inch or 2 play. 35 mph range lots of correcting not so much at highway speeds. Need things like lower control arm bushings and running old Cooper white walls so there's a not a lot going for it. I don't have a benchmark...

    Turn signal switch

    The best I can get is one chirp and then if I wait a minute or 2, another. Horns work, the steering wheel switches are gnarly but I did get the one that didn't work to work. The new duralast relay doesn't work at all so next would be to try another OEM or some switches if any come up but one...

    Turn signal switch

    I tried a different relay, supposedly NOS from ebay and no dice. I thought I heard some sort of a squelch sound coming from it a time or two but not sure. It's a one done type thing. I was hoping it would be something easy...

    Turn signal switch

    Oh ya, Duh.... I tested the relay putting a battery charger on the spades until I got a click. 'B' & 'H' seemed to do it. Then I took the cover off and it looks brand new inside. I have the factory electrical manual and like most things it doesn't go into much detail. All it tells you to do is...

    Turn signal switch

    I have power to the relay block and put 12v to the relay tabs and hear the click. What does the roller on the turn signal switch do...???

    Turn signal switch

    My horn died a slow death with one spoke going bad and now none work. I'm guessing I should have voltage here at the steering wheel for the horn...??? Fuse and relay seem good...

    Cold Start Exhaust Residue??

    I just got done sorting this out on a Thermoquad... Shorten the choke pull off arm til the choke just has a crack at the top maybe a 1/8". You have to play with it, put the long end in a vise and bend it back at the 'elbow' but only a tiny bit at a time... < 1/16. It may take awhile til the...

    First year's worth of Dodge ownership

    Lutz said BMW would have been a good marriage for Chrysler. Similar size and place in the market. Benz treated Chrysler like garbage but 'anybody but Lutz' Iacocca selected a GM Euro guy to set the course for them which he later regretted... The new world order
