Hey all, I'm looking for this tool for my 1964 Newport steering gear rebuild. Before I cobble something together I thought I'd see if someone has one sitting in a box somewhere. It's a large (3.75") spanner socket, similar to some 4WD hub sockets. I'm located in Metro Detroit but happy to have...

Hey y'all, I bought this car about five years ago and I just keep putting miles on it. It's really stolen my heart. After doing a front end rebuild, Scarebird disc brake conversion, and some other regular maintenance I figured it was finally time to show the powertrain the love and rebuild the...

Hey all I did the Scarebird conversion on my 1964 Chrysler a few years back but I've never been able to get a dual diaphragm booster in there for the pedal feel that I want. I've ordered 2 or 3 but nothing fits right. My early car (and all pre 65, I assume) has a skinnier and more rectangular...

Car is located in Metro Detroit area, Michigan. Reluctantly listing to make time for other projects. I've had a lot of fun with this car. It's been an intermittent daily during summer months and has been a great and reliable driver for me. The car has a 361 B engine (big block), push button...

I'm still trundling along on the rear wheel bearings on my 1964 Newport. There's light at the end of the tunnel! I have new bearings pressed onto the axles and races in hand. However, when I slide in the driver's side axle it seems to drop in too far. The race/cup sits 0.075"-0.100" inboard of...

Hello everyone, I'm trying to do wheel bearings on my early 8.75 rear end and there's not a lot of info on these as compared to the later 8.75s. Couple of questions: Are there green bearings available for the early 8.75s? Doctordiff.com doesn't let me select '64 on their green kit for the...

Hello all, I would like to upgrade my 1964 Newport to dual circuit and disc brake. Not for performance so I don't need one of those fancy kits, just a little extra peace of mind for a car I plan on driving a lot. I found this helpful article about converting with Mopar parts but it...

Got the Newport in the shop to get freshened up for a summer of driving. Figured I would start looking around for the various bits and pieces I want to track down for the car. I'm located in the Detroit area, but would be willing to drive (especially if I could cross a lot of these off my list)...

Hey everyone, Not new to the world of Mopars but recently picked up a C body so I branched out from FABO. This car came up on CL for cheap and I was lucky enough to jump on it. Drove it home on vintage bias ply tires and pretty much immediately put it on the road. Slowly been getting it dialed...
