    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...

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

    Those look like the Bumper Guards made my Gem. I bet Chrysler sourced them from them. They were sold at automotive accessory stores. The one and only option on my 1971 Fury I was (M85) Front and rear bumper guards. They did not look like those. The company in NY that made better quality bumper...

    What is this wagon?

    The original place I heard the "Pacifica" name was on a concept car Chrysler build in the later 1990s, "Father of Magnum" that was on a fwd LH platform with 300M front sheet metal. Never saw production, for some reason. The later Pacifica model was Daimler's version of that car, but too wide...

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

    In 1970, Chrysler offered factory front and rear bumper guards as they are on my build sheet.

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

    Very interesting. Looks like it could be made "in-house". We used regular bumper guards on our Precinct cars and "loading dock bumpers" on our Highway cars until we went to more formal push bumpers on all the cars in the early 90's. We now ONLY use them on Highway cars because we found on a...

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

    Saw ZedR's post about a Texas Highway Patrol 68 Fury that he acquired, and it had this front bumper bar that I've seen in maybe one or two pics floating around on the net, but otherwise not much info: Anyone got more info on these? Doubt they'd stop an animal collision but I think they look cool...

    What is this wagon?

    I do hate how much Ford and Chrysler have ****** around with nameplates of vehicles of late. The Chrysler "pacifica" should still be called the town and country IMO. If I owned one I would have pulled the pacific plates off and replaced them with Town and Country badges lol. Ford is the...

    Wanted Advice On 383 Big Block

    Sounds like a really good car to learn new things on. Get a manual and everything now has a vid. My first "learning" car was a 65 Fury with a poly 318. Back then all we had was a manual and sound advice from the old guy next door. Took me a few minutes to find out a poly 318 was nothing like a...

    Shock recommendation for added ride height?

    In an old "Motor Trend" magazine tech column, a guy wrote in asking how to raise the ride height on his '65 Imperial as he drove over lots of "logging roads". Their reply included raising the front end via the torsion bar adjustment, with the mention of ride quality due to the raise in...
