Yes, I did have the California version of the VEC emissions tag reproduced by PCG for my New Yorker with the 440HP engine. It took some arm twisting and coming across with considerable cash but my rare New Yorker with a very interesting history was worth it IMO. I will post a photo of the...

I revised my post - there shouldn't be too much play, so it's possible the internals are worn.

I'm sure they are original. Guess the question is how much play. Cause it's annoying

Hi oil smells fine, Could defo see the plugs oily though, Yes the car needs a couple cranks if I let it sit for a few days to start!

I'm not so sure a shim in there would be a good idea - there needs to be some play in that a coupler by design. Regardless, the parts that are in there. Now could very well have worn out and the job to replace them there's not that particularly challenging, although getting it off the spline...

How did they get the factory trim to go uphill like that? Or is it not factory trim, maybe? Glue-on trim?

...tool is a utility knife and a stout hook-pick set to dig out the silicone. After that, putty knives and a hooked carpet knife, maybe. After that, *maybe* the correct tool might work. And as @3C's & a D? said, be prepared for rust under there. Silicone holds moisture, esp if it was gooped in...

Sorry, just now seeing this for some reason! I did! When he pulled into the show, I told him he could park next to me. We chatted up for a little bit. His '68 has been in his family for decades.

Found the matching partial vin on the trans and it is matching as well

That just lowers the value and is a read flag, IMO... Scam all the way, F this guy. If it really sold, someone took it in the shorts.

Entire fuel system. It helps free stuck rings. Feed it a full can down the carb at RPM and then a can in the tank. What does your oil smell like? Taste gas? (yes taste the dip stick and smell it) If so you could have a bad fuel pump diaphragm dumping gas into the crank case. Ethanol gas or...

No gears changed. I have tightened that screw on the top. You can feel actual play at the coupler now that i test it. Almost just need a shim in there.

I found that the 4028424 is for a 1976 and 1977 Chrysler 440....so its the correct vintage anyways

Both of these had Dana 60s, so that's SUPER rare. Probably bought by B-body guys to be rearend donors.

Do you have a manual? Have you tried tightening the gear VIA the top of the gear box ? Did the rebuild change the gears or just the seals ?

Well, here it is. Rivet very loose and foot looks worn out. Only needs about a 1/64 because testing the switch shows only one tiny spot on travel gives continuity.

Did you by pass the ballast resistor with the pertronix? With key on you should be showing 12 volts at the coil if using a pertronix coil

So I was curious if this still had the original engine, I assumed it did given the mileage....but you can never be for sure as we are approaching 50 years old! So up on the lift and a little brake cleaner to get some of the goo off to verify. Looks like it is! Last of the VIN is 7D180049...
