Thanks for that information and links! I know everybody normally thinks of Wilwood, but your ECI alternative looks to be a great alternative! A neat catalog and website! Keep us posted on the install, please. CBODY67

Welcome. Just curious, is this your first Chrysler product to deal with? IF so, head over to www.mymopar.com and download the 1968 Chrysler parts book and a 1968 C-body (probably any of the Chrysler C-body brands) factory service manual. There are PICTURES and illustrations you might find...

Get it rebuilt by a competent rebuilder. There should be some threads in here. Might put "Booster Dewey" into the search line, although Dewey has retired and the physical location has moved, same company and great service. Reman boosters can be a hit and miss, even if they look just like the...

That is a very small diameter tire for any C-body. Specs from several tire brands at Tire Rack show it has about the same revs/mile as the old E78-14 size. Might need to get into an A-body listing in a Chrysler FSM to find the stated speedo gear combinations, I suspect. Or maybe a B-body...

That is the ONLY Chrysler I've seen of that vintage with a continental kit. Have to walk over it to get to the big trunk those cars had! Never knew they existed! Has to be super-rare? Will limit driving only on level ground, too. Underhood, just a lot of putting more-correct pieces on it...

@mobileparts, I fully understand your desire to sell asbestos brake frictions, as that is your business. Still, asbestos frictions are NOT the best linings for all applications. On one of my daily cars, I have seen no real detriment to using semi-metallic pads due to wear. Rotors still wear...

In many of the late 1960s Chrysler parts books I saw locally, there was a "blue page" in the front of the book about where to get brake frictions for the law enforcement vehicles they might deal with. The dealers were instructed to call a brake shop in Amarillo, TX and to ask for particular...

Source on the rotors? Thanks, CBODY67

If you look at the percentage breakdowns, you can get an idea. Go from most-installed to least-installed of the options and then look at color combination. If anything, the original color combination can cut the numbers down significantly, I suspect. In looking at my '67 Newport Fasttop, it...

From our experiences, asbestos dust is more than just a tiny amount. Its presence in the drum and on the backing plate CAN affect brake performance. That is something I had never considered until our service station guy, who had worked at the local Chrysler dealership, suggested we get the...

To me, one thing which must be remembered is that many of these figures might not be "cast in stone". Additionally, they can tend to be "broad brush" situations rather than not. I never really did like the "percentage of units" orientation rather than specific numbers. The assy line/plant...

"The Standard Catalog of Chrysler" has production figures too. In some years, major options are listed in percentages, but not uniformly for C-body vehicles. Still quite interesting! Thanks for the postings! CBODY67

Thanks for the update. I discovered that the best way to cook=out carbon was to just drive the car. Not the 50 miles or so that some seem to like, but for 4 hours or so, or 20 gallons of gas. When I started driving to Lubbock (which was 4 hours each way, back then), I noticed that our '66...

You can "drive the plugs" clean, get new ones, or knock the soot off of the ones you have. DO run a gap gauge through them to clean the contacts, though. The compression might come back up when the cyl walls allow oil to remain on them, rather than being washed off/diluted by the rich...

The complete vehicle aftermarket parts situation is built around sales volume of the parts they sell. When they buy new batches of parts, they position the number of parts they order by past sales and future sales projections. When sales consistently drop below a certain number, "phase-out"...

You can probably download a Dodge or Plymouth factory service manual at www.mymopar.com to look for the correct size. Usually determined by engine size and body series combinations. If the car has a 383 or larger engine size, it's probably a 8.75 rear axle. Check the service manual for...

Thanks for all of that information. I suspect that you need to also look at which step on the fast idle cam the speed references to. If the fast idle cam is on its highest step, the idle speed will usually be in the 1400rpm level. When the choke pull-off pulls the choke plate open a bit, a...

Distributor specs are om the "Ignition" section. Idle speeds are usually in the "Fuel-Carburetor" section. CAP cars probably were idled at 700rpm, but Federal cars were in the 550-600rpm range. As other in here do not care for ProForm or Cardone items, but they might be the only way to get a...

Base initial timing for any B/RB motor used to be 10-12.5 degrees BTDC, before emissions got to be an issue. I normally ran our '66 Newport 383 2bbl at 15 degrees initial for ages. For some reason, the 383 2bbls have an advance curve that hits all the numbers. With total of about 36 degrees...

Unless the hose has sagged, some movement of it is possible. Usually, not too much would be needed.
