    Front Disk Conversion - 63 Newport

    If I know that the Rotors, Bearings, Seals, Dust Caps, and Lug nuts from a 1977 Monaco will fit my 63 Newport Spindles....then can I just install the a whole 77 Monaco Front Disk disk kit? The Newport spindle (knuckle) is the same as 300, New Yorker, and 880.

    Brake Service and Front Drums Mismatched

    With old cars, you are best to assume the guy working on it before you had to be watched or he'd swallow the lug nuts. Seriously, I was once told with one car how this "mechanic" had worked on it and what a genius this guy was etc... When I went to pull the rear wheels, one of lug nuts was a...

    This is what you are looking for. 10 hole plastic spacer, about 1/16" thick. Any good commercial tire shop will stock them for hub pilot wheels but may have to order them for stud pilot. Amazon might be a source also for easy button shopping. 10 Hole Truck Wheel Guard 10 Hole Truck Wheel...

    Wheels for 64 Imperial - Concept

    ...wheels on my 1973, can’t remember the price per wheel but it was $1400 for new rims, Vogue 235/70R15 XL tires, mounting balancing and lug nuts. The car rides amazing and I like the look. I couldn’t find any used rims in the larger pattern, and didn’t want to go with Chevy truck wheels like...

    WANTED Rear Brake drum

    If those are truly 11" brakes, they should be 2 1/2" wide if it's the stock rear end and not a wagon. As a hub and drum assembly, the interchange is '57-62 C-bodies with 11" brakes, which includes Chrysler and Desoto. You can use either side if you include the lug nuts, or change out the studs.

    Wheel load weights

    Put them on and enjoy them. Just make sure lug nuts hand torqued 90 ft lbs and retorqued after 100 miles. Set tire pressure 6 psi over original bias ply pressure. If car calls for 26 psi put 32 in the radials. Give the slots a good rub with mothers mag wheel polish or Autosol for a nice shine...

    Who here has classic A, B, or E- bodies in addition to your C-body?

    Yes, I sure do. Complete along with the original lug nuts. Took them off the car in 1983 and I've been using the Enkei wheels ever since. Still have the original full size spare tire mounted on the original steel wheel.

    Any members in Somerset, PA. May need the lay of the land

    ...(has to be done by ASE for warranty, they pushed so hard to change the cabin air filter (for way too much $) and forgot to torque wrench the lug nuts. Yeah thanks I'm sure I'll love with some dust in the car, but thanks for trying to kill my wife with all the lug nuts loose. Glad your...

    1973 Plymouth Fury

    I replaced the 20 year old 215/60R15 Uniroyal Tiger Paws with Firestone Destination LE3s in a more correct 215/75R15. The car is instantly better. A new set of lug nuts are on the way from Mega Parts, and much more from RockAuto including new rotors and drums.

    Meet Regina FQ3, a 1970 Polara convertible who turns 51 today

    ...when I bought her she sported aftermarket 14-in wheels instead. I found road wheels in Regina's trunk, but they were not great so I acquired a good set and the correct center caps, which @71Polara383 then installed. The lug nuts are also new: they are the correct repops that you had recommended.

    Catastrophic Rim Failure; Factory Original 14" Stamped Steel Rim

    ...portion of the rim enough to turn 2 of the bolts which were stuck fast by the bend in the piece, while I'd already loosened the other 3 lug nuts. Note, all nuts were torqued to spec, no more or less, clean threaded too. I got the stock bumper jack under the notch in the lower bumper with...

    Lug nuts frozen - HELP!

    I'm having a hell of a time getting my lugnuts off on my 66 300. I moved to Mississippi recently so I think rust may be the issue. I've used my 1/2" impact with 1000lb/ft of torque but no luck. I've also tried jumping on a breaker bar to "shock" the rust loose. Still lo luck. Any...

    Is anyone else depressed looking at new vehicles?

    I'm a big fan of the world's greatest nerd Elon Musk. You are therefore in very good company. However, nerds have been known to get carried away with over engineering. Case in point LH threaded lug nuts.

    Will an electric impact wrench give satisfactory results vs air wrench?

    I got a 1/2” corded from HF and it will take off pinion nuts. Great as that’s what I want it for. It a quality tool. The downside it is big and heavy, but it has lots of power. yes check out the modern cordless units for general use. I have a Milwaukee 12 volt that is small and it’s very...

    Will an electric impact wrench give satisfactory results vs air wrench?

    Not impressed with 1/2 cord impacts. Barely changes average lug nuts. Thrilled with my 3/8 and 1/2 battery Kobalt 18 volt stuff. Best bang for the buck are 3/4- and 1-inch air with any 150-psi compressor. A few good hits, let the tank recover and hit it again. Wash, rinse, repeat as needed...
