Thanks for that table. I am glad I started this post, as it seems the Holley Retrolights are the way to go. I would not have expected that LEDs draw as much current as the incandescents! So I will fit the LEDs first, and very soon add the relays to reduce current to the headlight switch. But...

Thanks. I looked up "vacuum gun" and the ones I found on the internet were for sucking liquid out of tight places. Can you give me a name and model of a vacuum gun meant to test car vacuum operated devices?

Finally got the dash halfway disassembled in my 1965, and found the severed vacuum line that fed to the control block and kept everything from working. While I am in there, I am going to buy a vacuum gun (any suggestions on which one?) and test operation of all the plenum door vacuum actuators...

Agreed. There was a mountain of difference in sound between pre-recorded cassettes and cassettes I recorded on quality tape like Maxell or Memorex. None of the high-quality cassettes I recorded are non-playable. Record companies used the cheapest tape and housing available.

One of the best decisions I made in life was to get an afermarket cassette player for my car instead of an 8-Track unit. At the time I used to jog beside roads quite a bit. I would encounter 8-Track cartridges thrown out of cars, with seemingly miles of tape hanging out of them when they...

On my Newport, I found a junked car with the side dash cutouts and lifted the speaker grills. I actually removed my Newport window, cut holes in the dash, and installed the painted factory speaker grills. Wanted to maintain the OEM speaker as a "center" channel like Home Theater, but it did not...

Thanks for this how-to post! It opened up new worlds for me. One question- What type of bulbs were those PIA extremes- HID, Halogen, or LED? Why did you choose them over other types?

Thanks. Not sure I understand why lights would blind everyone else but hardly light up the road for me. You talking about aim? Funny that all new cars have headlight relays, and like you said, my Newport headlight wiring connector is about burned to a crisp. Who makes a headlight relay assembly...

Thanks. With FM I will be able to hear music in higher fidelity. I was thinking about a new single coaxial speaker, even if for mono sound, that would let me hear some higher frequencies than the OEM speaker. With my Ford Pinto, I went to all the trouble of fabricating a bracket to hold two...

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.

As if we need another reason to avoid EV's. Saw a video the other day of owners expressing regrets in buying their EVs. Amazing number did not have garages or carports, and had to pay for every charge at charging stations. Can't believe they were so brainwashed to buy them, but at least they...

The radio in my 1965 Plymouth Fury was only an AM monophonic model. It no longer works, and I am going to convert it to AM/FM and possibly Bluetooth, while maintaining OEM appearance. Will upgrading the original dash speaker make a difference in sound? I have an option of mono, stereo, or...

You got to admit, one thing that is an improvement with new cars is the power of the headlights. I feel like I am driving blind when driving my classic cars at night. Ran across a company called Headlight Experts. The sell glass light shells that look like OEM, but have modern LED healights...

This side-by-side pillar was indeed for the Imperial. The twin pillar for the Fury was one pillar in front of the other. Although in catalogs, I have never seen them on the cars. I reviewed some photos of Furies for sale today and they all had single pillar ones.

And have not found them, or a suitable substitute. They hold narrow trim strips outside of the windows on my 1965 Plymouth Fury III. They measure about 18mm long and 7mm wide. In the photo, you can see one intact, and another broken off with the peg inside the hole.

I had my 1965 Fury in the restoration shop for some work. While it was there, the reputable shop painted the valve covers and some sort of paint on the exhaust manifold before putting it back together After about a year of running it is peeling off in patches. I guess the only durable coating...

Thanks. The damaged one on my 1965 looks like the Match-mate. Guess that twin-pillared one not pictured on this page began to be offered in 1966. But I might go rogue and put it on my 1965. Never seen one that resembles the conical on any Mopar. Must not have been popular. Funny thing in one...

Thanks for this, although it is mainly about 66s. There are tons of mirrors repros available online market '66. What changed after 1965? One of the '66 single post mirrors look exactly like the one on my 1965 Fury. Sure don't want to have differing mirrors on either side!

I needed to replace the driver's side mirror on my 1965 Plymouth Fury III, and would like to add a passenger side mirror at the same time. 1. I see plenty of reproduction mirrors advertised for sale for A and B bodies, but none for C bodies. Do all body styles share the same outside mirrors...

The question is how easy are they to remove when we want to display the car in her full glory at a car show. I want something that is not too hard to remove.
