Looks like 3/8" but neither fine or coarse bolts wanted to start. May just need cleaning, but I didn't want to force anything.

This is an offshoot of my Distributor Wiring thread Distributor Wiring Diagrams where @Big_John & I have been discussing Pertronix wiring. I am just working through some thoughts and questions and am looking for confirmation or corrections. The coil is provided with positive voltage whenever...

I was having trouble reading the timing marks on my '65 383. Stuck my phone down in there and got this picture. Am I reading this correctly?

I was looking at options for replacing a distributor and made up these diagrams to help sort out what was needed. Thought it might be useful to have them all together in one place. Let me know if you have any questions/corrections. 1. Original points style distributor. 2. Points...

The question came up as to whether the Police package cars got the same structural changes as the convertibles? I believe the only difference on the convertibles is the torque boxes at the front of the leaf springs, a thicker metal channel inside the rockers & the door wedges. I assume being...

Includes a little C body action

The outer bearing race is not seating tightly, so I'm looking to replace a front hub on my '65 Chrysler 300. I would prefer a hub that is already separated from the brake drum as I assume shipping will be much cheaper but will certainly consider one with a drum that is in good shape. I would...

Been here since about 9:30 am. Weather has been fine except for a pretty good shower about 3:00, but it seems to be done. Quite a few big Mopars this year.

On my '65 when I put the car in park, the column shift lever has to be pushed firmly to the left or the park pawl doesn't engage. I know that the cable can be adjusted slightly in or out where it goes into the housing on the transmission, but am not sure which way will cause the pawl to engage...

Checking off some small projects this week on my '65 Chrysler and thought I would replace the rubber coupling in the steering shaft. Should be simple, right? :rolleyes: Instead, I've noticed two things which may or may not be problems, and may be related? First, the steering box & its shaft...

Come out for 1 show or the whole week. Michigan Old 27 Motor Tour – Back In It's Day It Was The Way

I'm looking for 1 or 2 of the leaf spring shackles used on the Slabside C bodies. These are the straight ones, not the offset type used on station wagons & the later cars. Part number is 2585 262 They are about 4" between the bolt centers & about 3" wide. I'm interested in either good used...

The 18th annual 27 tour is coming up in August. It is the week after Woodward & Back to the Bricks. If you are in or near Michigan come out for one show or the whole week. Michigan Old 27 Motor Tour – Back In It's Day It Was The Way - The official site Old US-27 Motor Tour - Pictures & info...

Rubber triangle with a metal tab that goes into the window track. I suspect these are the same on all the slab convertibles.

Last week I took part in the 17th annual Old 27 Tour. This event happens during the 3rd week of August and consists of driving the old roads and putting on a bunch of small town car shows up the middle of Michigan's lower peninsula. Michigan Old 27 Motor Tour – Back In It's Day It Was The Way...

My '65 has the correct radiator (2524 983) that may well be original. I had tank seam leaks repaired a couple of times 10-15 years ago, and the 2nd time, he put a lower pressure cap on suggesting that it wasn't going to hold up otherwise. The core is so old that some of the fins have literally...

I didn't expect this to be the snag in my project. I have a perfectly good tie rod end, but need to replace the nut. Went to Home Depot, bought a shiny new 1/2" fine thread castle nut. It screws on just fine, but it is too tall. When completely tight, the cotter pin hole is still covered by...

I seem to have the time & budget to do 1 or 2 projects a summer, and this year it is the suspension's turn. The lower control arm bushings have been squeeking for a while, and last fall I noticed that the lower ball joints had a little more play than I liked. They were fine side to side, but...

It seems like most of the time, the nut is stuck to the stud enough that the whole ball assembly turns instead of the nut unscrewing. I suspect the answer is just get the dremel tool out & split the nut, but I figured I'd ask in case I'm just not seeing something.

This years tour was great. Among the couple hundred cars were a '64 300 convertible, my '65, @Omni '65 Newport, & a couple of '70 300s Videos are here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5eGHHIoBPO5f5wpgDZcJRA/videos
