I'm trying to figure out whats wrong with my car. Had a slight bogging today but had to drive it. Stalled it pulling out onna road. Cranked it up, gave it 1500 rpm, dropped it into drive... she didn't like that. I have a feeling I simultaneously broke everything all together. The rear end...

Howdy yall I just got back around to the ole girl. I've been having issues with the car recently. Parked it up a month due to issues with it running. At first it would randomly skip going down the road now its turned into a constant skip, and it runs horribly and then randomly idles fine...

I am really curious if the new yorker front clip will bolt up to a newport? I had a blow out recently that scuffed my other fender which gives me an excuse to replace the dented one and the scratched one... was trying around with the idea of a new yormer front clip? I know where one is with no...

I have a slight problem with my MOPAR today. The old girl let me down in the rain when the window wouldn't come back up. I have no power to any of the switches in the car. The circuit breaker works because the door locks work. What can cause this? Thanks! -Paul

What kind of fuel mileage do yall get? I drove 250 miles today. Left my house, rode down I20 to the Columbiana mall and picked up some freinds on the way, dropped them off, goofed off some more, filled up with 15.2 gallons. Which makes for 16.4 mpg! $46.50 to drive 250 miles??? That's awesome...

Kinda bored scrolling the forums looking at yalls rides. Was thinking about how far my own car has come. These were taken sometime around August/September of 2020.

This has probably been done before but I haven't seen it... the gauges are screwed up in my car. I broke all the pegs in the speedo pulling thr cluster and it already burnt up when it started jumping from 50 to 100 while driving at speed. So I grabbed my SPEEDHUT 3 3/8 inch gauges and lined...

Even though I hate the land of liberals its always been a dream of mine to visit California. I made that dream come true minus the car a month ago. Was pretty cool, I have alot of pictures stocked up on my phone. Bit I drew my car the way I want it against a city Skyline and the golden gate...

My Newport used to have a vynil top. I removed the top due to some decay where it had peeled up. Afraid it was going to collect moisture. Finding that the vynil is going to cost $500+ after shipping and take months to get here (and also being 1 step away from having the car back on the road) i...

hey yall! I have some "pinhole" rust spots at the seam where the lower c pilar meets the truck deck on my car. dont know exactly how to describe the location but its on both sides, the driver side had a bunch of rust scales on it and i wire wheeled them off, revealed about 12-15 little holes and...

Test fit some new wheels. 22x9 +44 on a Nexen 265/30ZR22. Straight sidewall, clears turning to the left and rubs slightly at full lock to the right. Clears everywhere else. It also will fit inside a stock wheel well cover with NO TRIMMING! Stock suspension btw, if I readjusted my bars slightly I...

Hey yall, I have a few questions. Haven't been on in a while car drives great but... I just got around to having some time off. A whole week for Thanksgiving and 2 for Christmas! Nuts! I'm going back to public school next semester so I can walk the stage. So I decided I should get the car back...

Recently poking around the idea of selling my car, I have a street truck Im trying to expand my budget on so i can build it up like I want. Im also looking at getting a couple monaco wagons down the road. The car is a 1977 Chrysler Newport Custom Sedan. It has just shy of 41,000 miles. I am...

Figured I'd hop on this forum topic here. This is my 77 newport, 400, 727, ac, am/fm, tilt/tele, reclining seat, rear defroster, "road wheels". 4 dr sedan body in custom trim, with the "road trip" package. Never heard of it, but this is a unit of a road trip car! I think I got the car a month...

Does anyone know how much power the stock axles can take? Is it a 8 1/4 or a 8 3/4? I plan on either building an engine or swapping in a 6 pack 440 sometime in the future. I would like to be more confident in the gearing. It is a 2.76 ratio axle. 77 Newport 400-4. -Paul

I took the newport out for a drive sunday (fixed the radiator). Car ran beautifully. I got to my freinds house, cut the car off, stayed probably 30 minutes, went to crank it back up and i had no cranking. But good power. Couldnt find an issue so i assumed it was either a starter or a starter...

Are the electric door locks intended to lock just the back windows? When I mash the door lock switch down the rears work but i thought it should lock the front doors too? Also the Driver side switch doesnt work, I think its an electrical issue. If someone could explain how these work and if...

I have one working window in my car, fortunately its the driver window. Ive noticed all the other windows have a unique issue. The driver rear window makes a clicking sound of sorts, but the window motor and switch works, so i suspect the track is the issue. the passenger front when i mash the...
