    Medina, a 1971 T-code Monaco

    Probably won't make Carlisle since that is almost a cross country drive from California in a hot time of the year usually. I am just 6 months away from being 79, so I like keeping more active than doing all that driving. But folks on this site are always welcome to look over my asylum. I get...

    What is this wagon?

    Well, it depends on the year. For 72/73 remember the Monaco was top of the line so it got the high level trim. The "lesser" wagon on the ladder was the Polara. For the Formal Dodge wagon, they had to come up with something since the Polara went away. Hence for 74-77, you had the Monaco...

    Please dont add a spring. Replace what is there, including bushings.

    Piston diagnosis

    Detonation will do that. Detonation tends to damage the edge of the piston while pre-ignition damages the center. Here's a pic showing more severe damage.

    Shock recommendation for added ride height?

    Guys, thanks all for the info. Yes, CBODY67, I do have a Factory Service Manual, it came with the car. There is a spring/suspension shop near me that added leafs to my F250 diesel when I mounted a plow on it. Will take the T&C there, at a minimum they will do the new shocks. Thanks again...

    Shock recommendation for added ride height?

    The car raises just like if it had a coil spring and you put a spacer under it. The weight of the car has not changed, it's just sitting higher. The amount of deflection in the bar didn't change. The bar isn't twisted more just like the coil spring wasn't extended when you put a spacer under it.

    NOT MINE 1970 Chrysler 300 convertible (silver, $11k ask in Memphis TN)

    Actually, it was originally EA4 (silver), according to the fender tag that @70 Sport Suburban just shared with me. I will post it as soon as I get permission to do so. Update: permission granted by the seller, so here is the tag of CM27T0C123748

    Shock recommendation for added ride height?

    By twisting the bar, is the car not being raised by the increased spring rate/pre-load? No need to get into the heat treat or other issues to explain this, as all of those other issues are "common" situations. As the amount of weight the bar is designed to "hold" remains unchanged. Just...

    Piston diagnosis

    LOTS of carbon on that piston crown. Was the carburetor running rich all of the time? As there is no clean spots near the edges, looks like the oil rings were still working pretty good. Otherwise, the outer edges would be "washed' clean. Any performance issues with that engine? Just...

    Shock recommendation for added ride height?

    By twisting the bar, all you are doing is raising the car. You aren't changing the material or heat treat, nor are you changing the length or diameter. These are what determines spring rate.

    Anyone have more info on the 67-68 Fury police push bumper bar?

    Yes, GEM was the brand name for the "high-rise" bumper guards. Available in a more-universal kit than specific-fit situations.

    Anyone have more info on the 67-68 Fury police push bumper bar?

    From what I learned in the 1980s or so, what Texas used then was a push bar built by a California company. Not OEM, but aftermarket specifically for the police car market. If a replacement was needed, the company in California was the only place to get them. Not sure exactly how that company...
