The BLP accelerator squirter kit & the TSI converter are both sitting in the shop. Unfortunately; I probably won't have a chance to work on the carb until next weekend. The weather has turned here and winter has seemingly arrived, which I hope affords more shop time on the car. This weekend I...

You can fit a ton of tire on C-bodies - you'll just need to grab your measuring tape. If you calculate correctly you can fit a lower profile 315 rear tire with very little modification. I've had a 315/35ZR20 on the back before and had to clearance a little on the skirt and change how they...

The BLP kit to repair the accelerator pump squirter has been ordered and I hope will arrive next week. If so, then you all know what I'll be doing next weekend. (Outside of the valvetrain diagnosing!) If you haven't had a chance to previously see the BLP kit, take a look at the YouTube...

@67fury3kidd what do you mean by "smaller style torque converter"? Are you looking to increase your stall speed?

@BUBBAZ488 was it a complete kit brake system or a factory C-Body front system with a Ford/alternate type rear? I'll be taking on the brakes over the Christmas season, and am still undecided on the rears

Thanks @300rag - yeah, it's been a long slug and years of parts accumulation. After deliberation I thought it best to finally set a deadline so I get this girl back on the road.

After buttoning the fuel system up yesterday, setting fuel pressure, and some tuning completed, there is now more work to be done in the engine diagnosis. The fuel system needed an upgrade, and received a Demon 750 carb. Then the entire fuel system ahead of the carburetor was upgraded to...

Dobalovr, I'll definitely be open to having a visit once she's a little further down the path. There's a few more items I'd like to complete as far as tuning and adjusting then I'll be pulling the front end apart (body panels included) and engine out. The brakes still need to be updated, as...

Today was a very productive day on the Newport, which I'm thankful for after yesterday!!! Friday evening I thought I would get some more tuning done on her as the accelerator pump circuit isn't quite there yet. I've installed a 50cc bowl, jumped to a 40 squirter with a hollow screw and a blue...

Here's a teaser........

Hello All! This build hasn't died....... Just taken a little more time to organize than I had anticipated, as I'm sure many of you can relate to. I've decided that May 2017 needs to be my deadline to have this girl back on the road, or it won't happen. Since the last update a few things have...

They are MUCH bigger, and requires a little inner fender trimming to work to allow turning at the extremely low height. These are 22" X 9.5" wheels front and back; much bigger than the typical C-body driver/enthusiast prefers on these vehicles. My my brother has some 20" X 9" wheels on his 66...

It's been at a stall on this project for a couple of weeks, back to juggling time with my kids, their activities, weather, and equally as important - finishing the inside of my garage!!! I had moved into my house a little more than a year ago, and have been doing renovation work consistently...

I'm looking to replace the vinyl top on my 1968 Newport. It was removed long before I picked it up, and out of being nostalgic for her I think I want to put one back on. Does anyone know of a REALLY good replacement top for a 2dr Hardtop 1968 Chrysler?

New Yorker.

I pulled out a set of 452 heads I started porting 8-9 years ago, though I didn't take any pics of them. What was I thinking...... These were meant for this car when I started them, but as the story goes; life gets in the way of even the best laid plans. The reasons for going iron back then was...

The engine is definitely looking like it's been neglected for close to a decade. This engine bay used to shine, and the engine was a high gloss "Chrysler Red" that you could eat off of it was so clean. A good clean up with a pressure washer is needed to wash the years and dirt away. As as you...

A small update of aluminum and finished bits that have been high heat clear coated.
