Hi all… In the middle of rebuilding the entire breaking system on my low mileage 1964 Chrysler Newport, working on one of the rear wheels now and one of my brake cylinder pistons is in the process of disappearing by rust! I would rather rebuild my original brake cylinder rather than putting in...

So I have refurbished my entire cooling system, except the heater core. Now that is leaking out from behind the plastic enclosure under the hood! I see that rock auto parts has one for about $90, but wanted to consult the experts here on this forum to see where the best place to get a decent...

Hi all - just getting ready to completely refurbish the braking system in my low miles (21,000) 1964 Chrysler Newport. The hydraulics of the brakes appear to be untouched after 61 years of occasional use, and I sort of fear a 'brake blowout' when I drive it. The first time I drove it, I used...

Still trying to get to the bottom of my hot interior problem. At breakfast today with a sharp 92/year old retired Mopar mechanic, he did say there should already be a water control valve in the heater box. I read the repair manual today, there is one at the water inlet, cable activated. I...

My 64 Newport gets very hot inside even in mild weather, with the heater on ‘air’ (vent) button setting, temp lever on cold. Details: White exterior. Windows open. Non air conditioned Warm air comes through floor vent. Engine is not running hot. Will it hurt anything to install a summer shut...

I’ve been rebuilding my Stromberg WWC carburetor for my 1964 Newport 361 engine to solve a very rich running condition. To get ready, I ordered replacement jets in the correct size from ‘Quadrajet Parts’, and a special removal tool. They do list jets for this carburetor. Long story short...

Needed for my 64 Newport: the belt line molding for the right front fender. Maned NOS or undamaged used for low mileage, otherwise perfect car. Send photo please. It is different from New Yorker or 300, I believe. Thanks, Art

Today was the day to spend a few hours trying to improve a very poor idle in Newport. Chrysler Newport, that is. I was confident that my problems were probably due to a worn out coil, having already done compression tests, changed from original plugs and wires to new ones. Nope. Same, poor...

I have recently purchased a 1964 Newport Sedan (last of the Exner weird/ugly duckling cars), rust free, 21,000 original miles. Storage creates some challenges! The right rear door was stuck shut, OMG! I was able finally to spray penetrating oil onto the latch inside the door through the...

Hi, needing a little help with my 1964 Chrysler Newport. The horn is not working. I discovered the steering shaft is not grounded. If I run a jumper from a good ground to the nut securing the steering wheel, the horn works beautifully. I cannot figure out how to ground the shaft. There is...

Looking for opinions about my 1964 NYer which has a lumpy idle especially when in gear. A little bouncy! Off idle, runs great, strong. 0 to 60 in less than 8 seconds! Engine has 104,000 miles; don’t know if ever rebuilt and not sure it would be worth the expense. Compression test varies...

I would love to find reproduced or NOS weatherstrips for the doors of my 1964 New Yorker Four Door Sedan. The originals are getting pretty long in the tooth . . . Thanks guys (gals too!) Art

Hi everyone… Sorry to bug you again with more questions about my new old New Yorker! Some of the buttons on the heater control on the dash are not working. I got a replacement set of buttons that I would like to put in. So today I remove the three screws that hold the unit in the dash, but it...

I don’t smoke, but something weird about my lighter in the dash. When I pull the lighter knob, the whole assembly comes out (shell , or barrel). what is supposed to secure it to the dashboard? Thanks! Art

Hey folks - my new (old) NYer has an alignment problem with the hood. It is nearly 1/4 inch above the fender edges - same both sides. The hinges are already pushed down as far as they go (slotted holes). The fenders were replaced some time ago, never lined up properly. Questions: 1) Are...

Hi, I am looking for a windshield washer bag and bracket to hold it for a 1964 Chrysler New Yorker. I’m sure many Mopars of the time used the same parts. Nice used set would be great! Thanks Art
