My 77 NYB has a 400 in it. The lean burn is completely removed and I have an edelbrock 650 carb with electric choke, and a pertronix distributor and electronic ignition. The car runs great, way better than with the Carter TQ carb. My lean burn was non-functional when I bought the car.

Thank you! It is what I assumed but you never know until you ask.

Just a curious question - does anyone still make windshields for a 77 NYB? I just got a two-door and the windshield is cracked. Also looking for weatherstripping that seals the door glass against the top of the door frame. Thanks in advance for any information!

Hi, everyone! I am doing quite a bit of work on my 77 NYB, including changing the water pump, changing the AC to a sanden compressor, and also adding EFI to it. Since I will have fairly clean access to it, should I change out the harmonic balancer while I am down there? It is the original...

That car looks nice! On that rust spot, can you tell if it goes through to the back side? A good body guy can correct that if it's not too far gone. I would also look at the actual frame steel that would be a few inches behind that underneath and see what it looks like. I have a 77 NYB and...

Hmmm, I never thought about that option. I will try to figure out if that will work while I have the car all apart for EFI upgrade. Thanks.

Thank you and Happy New Year!

I have the complete cruise control and it worked a little for a few rides after I get the car in 2021. I say it worked a little bit because it tried to keep the speed where I set it but ended up not. I pulled a vacuum on the diaphragm on the cruise and it is definitely leaking in the...

Good morning, Everyone! Well, I found out the issue on my NYB. A while back, I removed the old Chrysler electronic ignition system that was failing and replaced it all with a Pertronix distributor with the Ignitor II chip. Along with that, I added the Pertronix HP digital 510 electronic...

Good afternoon, Everyone! I drove my 1977 NYB two weekends ago and it ran great, no issues. It has a 400 in it with only a little over 60k miles. Parked it in the garage for a week. I got in in Saturday to back it out of the garage and it started but the idle is very low and rough...

When I got home I started up the car and looked under the dash with a flashlight. The manual release lever was stuck all the way up and it would not come back down. I wiggled it really good and it popped back down. Now the parking brake sets and releases like it is designed. I will put some...

Yes, I was under there when I pulled and replaced the vacuum booster. A few choice words were developed that day! I may have bumped something under there when I put that back in place, but the parking brake was working after that, so IDK. The stuck switch you brought up is a good theory. I...

Thank you! #2 is exactly how it is behaving. This was all working after the brake work was completed, so it makes sense on what you said on this item. I will disconnect the vacuum and check the pedal. If that solves the issue, then I will see if I can get that switch unstuck or find another...

Hi, Everyone! My 77 NYB has new brakes: new master cylinder, rebuilt booster, new brake lines, new calipers, new wheel cylinders and new pads/shoes. The parking brake auto release was working well through all of this work, I could depress it past a few clicks and it would stay down until I...

Welcome to the site! There is a wealth of knowledge with the members on here so also utilize this forum to learn as well. I went through auto school in the late 80s and learned on a 77 New Yorker. Even with that, I use this forum to learn or help troubleshoot things I might have missed. I...

Thank you everyone! I started looking deeper into the system over the weekend and found a bad spark plug cable. I put a new set on the car and it runs smooth again. sometimes the simplest things get overlooked, but glad it wasn't anything major. CBODDY67, your idea was a good one. I set the...

Thank you, this helps. I will try this approach on the timing.

Thank you for those tips. The lean burn system was disabled decades ago. Which gets me to thinking, if that was the setting with lean burn active, then maybe it is too low without it? I will check out the wires in the dark. Thank you again.

Hi, Everyone! I have a1977 NY with a 400, 60,000 original miles. I have a miss in the engine, it get worse when it is warmed up. I have new plugs with the correct gap, the distributor cap and rotor are clean like new. The wires are all popped on correctly. I cannot seem to figure it out...

I would not recommend going back to the Lean Burn or even replacing it with something else. Just leave it disconnected. Chrysler even sold a kit back in the day to disable it because they gave so much trouble. I am on my second 77 NY, and love every minute of driving it. I have an edelbrock...
