Hi all… In the middle of rebuilding the entire breaking system on my low mileage 1964 Chrysler Newport, working on one of the rear wheels now and one of my brake cylinder pistons is in the process of disappearing by rust! I would rather rebuild my original brake cylinder rather than putting in...

More research… the heater core from Rock Auto is not correct. Brassworks can fabricate one for $ 329. Any experience with Brassworks? Anyone? Thanks, Art

So I have refurbished my entire cooling system, except the heater core. Now that is leaking out from behind the plastic enclosure under the hood! I see that rock auto parts has one for about $90, but wanted to consult the experts here on this forum to see where the best place to get a decent...

I had the same problem with the rear door on a 1964. After scratching my head awhile, I lowered the window and shined a flashlight down inside the door to see how it was supposed to work. Then sprayed a bunch of penetrating oil on the latch, and worked it repetitively with the outside door...

Hi all - just getting ready to completely refurbish the braking system in my low miles (21,000) 1964 Chrysler Newport. The hydraulics of the brakes appear to be untouched after 61 years of occasional use, and I sort of fear a 'brake blowout' when I drive it. The first time I drove it, I used...

The Surplus City store in our area has an amazing supply of grade 8 bolts, all for less than $5 per pound.

I grounded my steering shaft by wrapping a copper wire ( partially stripped) around the shaft through the access hole in the column where the turn signal wires come out. I added some dielectric grease for non binding rotation, lightly spring loaded the wire loop, and grounded the wire to the...

I am looking for a nice right front fender beltline molding. Thanks Art

Hi Jack. I think you are THOR! Re: master cylinder. Yes, I did that job and it was not hard, but this was 35 years ago on a low mileage, rust free vehicle. Perhaps google it or look for a you tube video. If you have the rust monster, some extra penetrating lube, heat, and banging may be...

I had a 1949 Coronet. You will need a big old hub/drum puller to remove it from the tapered axle. Loosen the hub nut flush with the end of the axle shaft. Apply penetrating oil. Maybe wait for that to work. Attach hub puller with three or four lug nuts tightly. Ensure it is centered over...

Good evening all… Wanted to bring you up-to-date on my “too hot“ situation. Today I unhooked the bypass hose that was attached to the heater control valve put on a couple of 2 foot lengths of heater hose and poured water through it and a lot of it wound up on the passenger compartment floor...

Took a peek under the dash. It is a cable actuated water valve. Has anyone removed one of these? It’s in a tight spot! Thanks Art

Thanks, I will route correctly, put a bunch of towels on the front floor, and see what happens!! Is that valve serviceable or replaceable? Thanks again, Art

Still trying to get to the bottom of my hot interior problem. At breakfast today with a sharp 92/year old retired Mopar mechanic, he did say there should already be a water control valve in the heater box. I read the repair manual today, there is one at the water inlet, cable activated. I...

This has been a problem even when the temperature is in the 70s. No insulation other than what the factory put under there. Any vintage looking valves for car shows?

My 64 Newport gets very hot inside even in mild weather, with the heater on ‘air’ (vent) button setting, temp lever on cold. Details: White exterior. Windows open. Non air conditioned Warm air comes through floor vent. Engine is not running hot. Will it hurt anything to install a summer shut...

I have had a similar problem. Mine turned out to be a rusty, filthy gas tank, and dirt and sludge were getting past the sender screen and past the fuel filter and clogging up the carb. I was constantly fiddling with carb settings… now I know why. Cleaned the tank: stone, drywall screws...

Part number is 2495706, best I can tell. Thanks for helping! Art

That is correct, I got the shiny new jets from Quadrajet Parts company. But they are not right, even though they were listed for a Stromberg WWC carburetor. Yes, I think sludge and a vacuum leak caused the power valve to be on all the time. Still would like to know where to find correct jets...
