    1969 Fury III

    Nice looking car to build from. Floor pans and interior need attention, as expected. Plus the convertible top mechanism (which can be upgraded to modern hydraulic fluid components). I agree, it will be great when done! 50-50 bench seat seems to be unusual, but was standard in Fury III...

    Door Jamb U seals for rear window 1969 Polara

    Qtr window LOWER FRT seal? Can a B-body similar seal be positioned to seal the qtr window on the car? Maybe from a salvage yard hardtop, as they typically don't deteriorate too much? CBODY67

    73 Aspen?

    Interesting that the "ASPEN" grille emblem's font seems to exactly match the later Dodge Aspen's script, other than the addition of the "snow" item. It would be interesting to see what the date is on that particular Plymouth's picture might be . . . Nice looking car. Possibly done by a local...

    Remote door lock retrofit?

    Various times during the 1980s automotive industry "slow down", I started to see then-OEM new things (like the power lock kits, theatre dimming of the interior dome lights, and similar) which had, a year or so earlier, been introduced by OEMs as new features on their cars. I suspected the...

    Remote door lock retrofit?

    In the street rod realm of things, there might be a stand-alone kit to do a remote keyless entry situation? Where the actuator module has some programmable features which can mimic the more current OEM situations? Maybe in some old paper issues of Street rod Magazine? Just some thoughts, CBODY67

    1969 Imperial "SO" Sequence Order stamp location

    Have you looked for the Build Sheet for the car? Usually under the zig-zag springs of the rear seat bottom or top "lean back"? Not sure about Imperials. CBODY67

    Carb choice for a 440

    The Edelbrocks will need the additional Chrysler linkage adapter piece so the factory Chrysler throttle and transmission rods hook up as if it was an OEM-production carburetor. CBODY67

    69 lost keys...

    Compared to what most locksmiths charge to re-key cylinders, the lock sets at Rock Auto, or similar, are a real steal. All that is IN the steering column is the key cylinder. The switch is run by a linkage with the electrical switch located near the bottom of the column, on the outside...

    Carb choice for a 440

    Edelbrock does sell "refurb" carburetors, which are probably re-checked warranty returns. Price is enough less than "brand new" that it might be worth it. To me, the current Holley line-up of carburetors is too complicated and TOO UNIVERSAL. As mentioned, the Street Demon carbs are Carter...

    Nox speed control unit Necessary for a 1972 Polara

    Yes, ported vacuum only starts as the throttle moves off of idle, usually requiring over 8" Hg to start the vac advance. BUT in the IM240 driving cycle, with specified rates of acceleration to specific speeds allegedly mimicking city traffic in Los Angeles, CA, no gradual accelerations, per se...

    Nox speed control unit Necessary for a 1972 Polara

    It screws into the speedometer cable, somewhere. Speedo cables on each side, just like the cruise control transducer/servo.

    Nox speed control unit Necessary for a 1972 Polara

    Starting in the 1069 model year or a yar or so later, it was popular . . . as an emissions decreaser orientation . . . to delay any sort of spark advance related to the normal vac advance until after the car reached about 25mph or so, or was in high gear (for manual transmission vehicles). In...

    Lock pin steering column

    As long as it stays where it is, no problem. IF it should free-up while driving and deploy, THEN you can't steer the vehicle. Best to pull things apart and either remove the plunger and alignment spring OR fix it so it works as designed. Your judgment call. OR . . . remove the lock plate...

    Reproduction C-P Window Sticker in PDF

    Do you also have the correct IBM Selectrix font ball (with cotton ribbon) to print the items on such a sheet? ALL of the logos and such on the window sticker are copyrighted and/or trademarked and belong to Chrysler Corp (and now Stellantis) so permission must be approved to get them. Which is...

    Engine serial number on 440

    The PROBLEM with configuring your own "number" is that, although in the best intentions, it could be interpreted as otherwise. One time I saw a metal tag that was affixed by Chrysler to a warranty replacement short block which stated the block in the car had been replaced under warranty. The...

    Engine serial number on 440

    Are they "defining the car" by the engine number only or is that information more for theft recovery issues? The B/RB pads on the front of the block are more for block identity and machining information (which is decoded and explained in the FSM) than anything else. Nothing related to VIN...

    1969 Polara "Special Order"

    Certified speedo. Zippered headliner to facilitate installation of roof-mounted light. Additional dome light near the inside rear view mirror. Police vehicles could be ordered with Slant 6s and 318s, "for administrative use vehicles", rather than freeway service where power and speed could be...

    Need roof work/help.

    Which car is it that you have? The outer roof skin attaches to the inner roof structure. Both attach to the A-pillar near the roof's bottom level. Normally about 3" below the roof rail, or there abouts. The C-pillar attachment is about 1/2 way between the roof rail and the upper fender line...

    4x10 speakee

    The center channel is a combination of L and R, via the Clectron divider box. Just like the Sony tabletop radios of the earlier 1970s, with three speakers. "Matrix Stereo". AND the 1995 LH car's Inifinity-brand stereos. The center speaker can better do the lower frequencies as it is bigger...
