    68 Newport. Tightening up the steering

    Check the condition of the rubber coupling near the firewall at the bottom of the column. It can be cracked and contribute to a LOT of play.

    power brakes

    Correct - I neglected to say that there is a backing plate that will be part of the swap - one should get that plate as well as the power brake pedal assembly.

    power brakes

    It's not challenging - one should swap out the pedal assembly too because the leverage ratio for a manual pedal assembly is much greater, however I have heard that it's just fine using a manual pedal with a booster. I have no personal experience with the retrofit, but everything if sourced...

    NOT MINE 65 Chrysler wagon 4-speed!!

    Did your 300L not have the badge on it, Tom? On the storage bin door? I didn't see a badge on that wagon's console lid, although the lids are easy to swap out. Different trims on the top plate of course (wood grain and other finishes depending on the model), as automatics got a centrally...

    Factory 4-Speed-C-Body-Photo-Thread

    Ah - I'd like to see the steering column from the right hand side - to see if it has a shifter handle boss still there... console looks "modified" and perhaps it needed some love. Neat car nonetheless.

    Sanden conversion or RV2 Rebuild?

    Ah - kind of like the refrigerant known as Duracool. I find it works very well.And I use less of it than R134A charging. Far cheaper too.

    Sanden conversion or RV2 Rebuild?

    80% of charge weight may be what works in some systems, but as far as I know it generally is less - as I noted above. Haven't tried HC12 yet.

    Sanden conversion or RV2 Rebuild?

    Whatever system is retrofitted into our C bodies, whether it be a Sanden and such, OR outfitting an RV2 system to run on modern refridgerants, the key is not to overcharge the system. For a converted RV2 system for which it's intended to use R134A, the system needs roughly 50 - 60 % of the...

    Sanden conversion or RV2 Rebuild?

    I like my rebuilt RV2 compressors, but others like the Sanden. Sanden is certainly more available these days...

    Don't take my word as gospel, though - I could be wrong!

    NOT MINE 65 Chrysler wagon 4-speed!!

    FYI - although rare, a console could be ordered in a wagon in 65, as far as I remember. I could be wrong...
