Plans as of now have us leaving Jul 11 (Thursday) the earlier the better. I like to get there early/mid afternoon. Have a few parts to pickup form Craig (Mobile Parts) and Murray Park. Omni

Planning on another road trip with the Party Barge. Hopefully it will be cooler this year. Omni

Is anyone travelling the Ohio/PA Turnpike to get to Carlisle? Would like to meet up with someone if possible. It's a long haul from Toledo.... Omni

To borrow from Peter, Paul and Mary: All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go..... Omni

mgm1986 Personally, I do not use any sealer on intake bolts. The sealing is accomplished when the manifold is torqued (35 ft lbs - I think). These bolts do not intersect any water passages (that I know of). I do not use the separate the gaskets that come with the valley pan. There have been...

Good Afternoon I installed one of the Fel-Pro valley pan with the blocked crossover on the 'Party Barge' for a couple of reasons. Hot restarts was one and it also saves scorching the paint of the intake manifold. Word of caution, if you are using the original style choke thermostat (manifold...

The gremlin has been exorcised. The FSM write-up indicated that a gauge tester is needed, but at the end of paragraph it indicated that a cause could be a shorted or BROKEN Wire. The wiring schematic showed that the wire (gray) terminated in the top plug of the bulkhead connector. As it didn't...

Good Afternoon and Happy Mothers Day A gremlin has decided to give me something to do. The oil light comes on but the mechanical pressure gauge shows anywhere from 20 to 60 lbs depending on if the motor is idling or cruising down the road. Once on, it stays on. The car is a '65 Newport...

Good Afternoon You might want to consider having yours rebuilt. The quality of aftermarket parts such as these are dubious at best. I personally have used Steer and Gear HOME | steerandgear to rebuild the box in the 'Party Barge' ('65 Newport). They offer different levels of rebuilding...

Good Afternoon If you replace the carb mounting gasket with a thicker one, be sure to re-adjust the choke thermostat linkage to accommodate. Omni

CBODY67 I mis-spoke in my original post. The plugs are Autolite NOT Motorcraft. No numbers on the hex, just on the porcelain. Omni

volksworld Car is stored in a LEVEL heated garage. Float is set a 5/16 (to the crown) as per FSM. I guess I'm too dumb; you will have to explain that response. Omni

Big John Will Do. Thanks for the suggestion. Omni

Good Morning All. Replaced the plugs in the 'Party Barge' ('65 Newport 383 Carter BBD point style ignition). Six of the eight were dark tan ( I am OK with that as the 'Barge' has not been on any significant road trips this year) 2 plugs (#7 and #8) were gas fouled. Wires are from Lectric...

Good Day All This thread sparked a memory of an article about the center grille light. The Dec 1985 issue of the WPC news had a write-up about the 300 L. The article was written by a Peter F. Madsen and it outlined the trim and running gear of these cars. In the article he wrote: "From...

Good Afternoon Always liked the lighted grille. Thought is was a classy touch. Liked it so much I 'borrowed' the idea for the lowly Newport. Omni

Wicked Plymouth Here are a couple of sites to check out. The first one is not open all the time. Check the site to confirm. I have purchased from him. Great guy to deal with. The second is also a great person. His site is easier to navigate. The third is a shop the will rebuild yours. Many on...

drtrubs Great looking NYer. If the underside is as clean as the rest, what a find. Only item I see missing is the upper 'A' arm splash shields. Those are available in the after-market. Would great to see it a Carlisle this summer. Omni

Enjoy Omni
