Yes, FM in 1966, but not stereo. That didn't come to Chryslers until 1968.

Lowering a car for any reason except racing has whole list of negative effects.

Can you lay a board across the steering wheel that sticks out both side windows, then measure from the board to the front of each window? If the measurement is the same this could indicate that it's just an optical illusion caused by the shape of the dash. Also, maybe the position of the dash...

If it cranks the engine OK then I would say no.

We had them on our '71 Mercury Marquis. It raised the rear some. Maybe 1/2 inch. Not much, but noticeable. I thought they improved the ride as well, especially when it was all loaded up. If those leaf springs are not original then maybe that's got more to do with the ride height than the...

Those shocks were probably installed because the leaf springs are worn out or the previous owner got tired of the rear of the car scraping the ground all the time. Or, because he frequently carried extra weight in the car. Regardless, installing ordinary shocks will lower it.

I just did a quick google search and I found this is called a "tube-in-tube rubber-isolated driveshaft".

I've seen that 2-piece driveshaft mentioned in Chrysler sales literature so it's definitely a factory item.

Yes, they really did have 2-piece driveshafts with rubber in between. My '68 New Yorker has it. When we bought our '68 300 it did not have this 2-piece driveshaft but it was dented and the car had a vibration so we used the 2-piece driveshaft from the New Yorker until we were able to have a...

I use KYB's on my Chrysler, they seem pretty good.

Make sure everything's lubed good as stated above. If possible, have the car aligned with specs for manual steering. Make sure you have enough air in the tires. Skinnier tires will turn easier. Also, bias ply will turn easier than radials.

N14Y or equivalent. This is what our '76 Newport used. 360-2bb.

Here's another anecdote: AC Delco in my Chevy Celebrity lasted over 100,000 miles. Bosch Platinum in my Oldsmobile lasted less than 20,000. I think AC Delco plugs are a very good choice.

My lawn tractor wouldn't start. 2 year old Champion plug was a total failure. Grabbed a 40 year old Champion from my grandfather's old shed and installed it, runs like a charm. Just sayin'. I think Autolite makes a good plug.

You can add it with the engine running but I wouldn't because it's just easier without all the wind from the fan and the heat from the manifolds. If you are seeing a little drop on the bottom of the dipstick add 1/2 quart, then check it again after driving it. After a while you get a feel for...

You answered your own question. Reread your manual. Literally. Based on your description of what you did, your results are exactly as would be expected.

But yes, Dexron III, generally speaking.

You can put just about anything in a TF and it will work, as long as it's compatible with what's already in it. I think what you want is the cheapest universal ATF fluid you can buy at your local service station.

The compressor on my 1980 Mirada was a "Sankyo" if I remember correctly. It worked great, never had a problem with it.

Welcome! Nice car!
