    Getting rich on Rage-Bait... most YouTube car pages suck.

    I have no skin in the game of what goes on behind the scenes with the Youtuber who did the video on my car. All I did was agree to let Lou do a video and post the video. FWIW, I agree that copyright infringement in my case seemed pretty obvious, with what Auto Evolution was doing. I even...

    NOT MINE 1970 Plymouth Fury 4dr 383 POLICE? $2,000 in Annville, PA (FB)

    I loved my Ford F-series trucks but was NEVER a Ford car guy. The only Ford car I had owned was a 1978 Mercury Cougar which I took "on a trade" from the guy who bought my 1981 Dodge Diplomat. I fixed the mechanicals and quickly sold it. In 1995 I bought a 1990 Mercury Grand Marquis Colony Park...

    Getting rich on Rage-Bait... most YouTube car pages suck.

    Actually YouTube is pretty good about doing DMCA takedowns if the channel owner takes the time to report the video. Sometimes you can even cause the ripoff artist to lose their channel. My main vocation for forty years was shooting and editing MTV music videos...A LOT of them, and promoting and...

    Are LED headlights a worthwhile upgrade?

    Thanks. I will check the contacts. My Fury and Newport do not have concealed headlights. Might start first trying them on my Ford Pinto, which will be cheaper, since it does not have dual headlights.

    NOT MINE 1970 Plymouth Fury 4dr 383 POLICE? $2,000 in Annville, PA (FB)

    I drove a 94 Grand Marquis as my DD between 1998 and 2001 and put around 190K miles on the 4.9 engine during that time. Back then I was pounding the pavement every day on appointments and that Mercury held up really well. Back in those days when some of my appointments had me going into the...

    Getting rich on Rage-Bait... most YouTube car pages suck.

    Hate to say it but it's not like most of the YouTube car channels PRIOR to AI were all that great. For one thing, 80 percent of the car video people shoot their cars (which are HORIZONTAL) in VERTICAL video, and to compensate they swing the stupid phone cam around like they're putting out a...

    1966 Newport 383 — Factory Mechanical Fan & Spacer Part Numbers?

    I agree with Big_John, "There's enough guys that can decode it and maybe tell you what it originally had". EVERYONE here will help. There is a wealth of knowledge and all of us "C-Body guys" like to share as well as absorb information.

    1966 Newport 383 — Factory Mechanical Fan & Spacer Part Numbers?

    Take a picture of the fender tag and post it here. There's enough guys that can decode it and maybe tell you what it originally had. The other thing to look at is the opening for the radiator. If it looks like it's been opened up to fit the 26" radiator, there's your clue. Some guys have...

    how to tell a bad gas tank

    What car do you have (year/model). On the fuselage you can get a good look in the tank - in the car - by removing the sending unit and then using a flashlight to peek inside. A good submersible fiber optic camera that works off your phone is pretty cheap too (like...

    how to tell a bad gas tank

    I'm thinking the only way is to put one of those fiber optic cables down the tank (boroscope?) and look for dirt. Is that the only way? Paul

    NOT MINE 1971 NY FB 4dr U code

    I HATE to see ANY car like that.

    Hello from Spain

    This Fury would have been a huge upgrade from a SEAT 600 at the time! Este coche habría sido un gran mejora de un FIAT 600 en aquella época.

    NOT MINE 1973 Dodge Polara Poss police pkg Mesa AZ

    Yes you're right about the conduit but it's empty. It goes right up to a hole in the firewall but nothing in it. Maybe because it doesn't look like this car ever had lights, siren or even a radio?

    NOT MINE 1973 Dodge Polara Poss police pkg Mesa AZ

    Good progress. This is the fun stage before the excitement of having a new toy wears off, haha. Looks like the factory didn't go too nuts with the bituminous seam sealer on the floor pans, making the cleaning easier. Sometimes the factory slapped that on too generously with what seemed like a 4"...

    1966 Newport 383 — Factory Mechanical Fan & Spacer Part Numbers?

    I’ve been poking around on the internet, and it appears that my car should have come with a 22" radiator from the factory. Currently, it has a 26" radiator. The previous owner stated that he installed a new radiator not too long ago. Is there any way to determine whether this car came with a...
