    58 Coronet taking on a hell climb.

    A '58 Coronet doesn't even have a front sway bar. You had to upgrade to a more expensive model to get it.

    All in 1 welders seem to be all the rage now. Can they really be that good?

    Exactly. Stereo amplifiers, stoves, washers, refrigerators, and welders etc. shouldn't have software in them. If they do, the craptastic electronics and firmware will die right after the warranty is over, leaving you with a pile of junk that no one wants to touch. Just say no to this crap.

    NOT MINE 1959 Plymouth 2 Door HT 700.00 Booneville, MS

    $700 for that is a steal, especially if it's an original big block car. The air cleaner alone would sell for that. I notice that it's already sold.

    Mancini Orange box

    I'm the one that sells those HEI conversion mounts on http://www.designed2drive.com I have 40K miles on 3 different cars using them without a failure. I had one failure on my '70 Satellite at one point, but it was due to the original bulkhead eventually creating too much resistance, allowing...

    HEI Conversion 68 Polara

    If you can only find a 440 distributor, you can swap out the top end of it and install it into your original 383 points distributor. You just have to modify the housing slightly for the wiring grommet. That way, you can keep your original ignition curve and you don't have to find a specific 400...

    NOT MINE 1970 300 convertible (not mine)

    Would a '70 300 automatically get the TNT engine?

    1958 Plymouth Starter likes to smoke!!

    That's right, the LA 318 oil filter adapter is the same as the poly 318. HotHeads doesn't offer anything like that, but you can get it from online sources or ebay.

    STUNNING Silver On Silver 1960 New Yorker On My Car Story

    The convertibles are rare and really nice, but you don't have that awesome 1960 roof line to look at.

    The "1 of 1" car show guy.

    My car is a 1 of 1 survivor because it still exists and I modified it. That's the mentality that makes these terms meaningless. And even if they kept their original definitions, no one really cares when it is given as a blanket statement. A much better description would be "The only known car...

    8 3/4 Diff Dilemma

    Good to know, thanks. Looks like I was lied to by a shop that pressed my axle bearings for me. They insisted that green bearings were the only option.

    8 3/4 Diff Dilemma

    Replacement taper bearings no longer exist. So if he replaced the axle bearings, they put in Green bearings.

    In the '80's, my brother owned a red 2dr '70 New Yorker with black interior, vinyl top and 440TNT motor. He took me in it going 130mph on a small country road with the whole car floating at every hill. Very memorable. I've never seen another car like it.

    8 3/4 Diff Dilemma

    Since you replaced the bearings, I assume that you replaced them with Green bearings. Did he replace both sides with Green bearings? He should. Green bearings will often push the axles too far inward so that they collide with the center thrust block. If that is the case, you won't be able to...

    '56 Imperial my parents bought in 1970.

    It's cool, looks like a Chrysler pentastar in the middle of your roof!

    Daily driver gear ratio 8 3/4 rearend

    I run 2.76 in all my old cars with automatics, but without overdrives. The reduced noise and much better cruisability more than make up for the slightly reduced performance off the line. Honestly as long as your aren't drag racing, I really don't notice a difference off the line, but at 70mph...

    Iris? 300F possible factory installed color?

    WW1 is a very boring color for a 300 car. If you paint it differently, it may effect judging, but will only have a positive effect on it's resale value as long as the color is tasteful. I have proof of what I say.

    WANTED 55-56 Chrysler/DeSoto steeringbox parts

    I suggest you ask your questions over on the Forwardlook.net/forums site. You'll get a better response. Also, BigM Auto Wrecking in Williams California sells used parts for these cars.

    1957 New Yorker added to the collection!

    The red/orange colored guages are the stock color. The color makes more sense on the Windsor & Saratoga because there are other elements in the interior with the same color. But on the New Yorker, those are the only things with that color on them. I personally like it because it adds color to an...
