    Only took 20 years

    Excellent ride! My 68 fury I bought in Dykesville, a week after driving past the city twice going/returning to Egg harbor camping. Life is short, I don’t know if there’ll be any 72 chargers I find stored in a barn in Heaven. If it’s a perfect place we will

    What might i expect in swapping from a 2bbl to a...

    They're not too hard to rebuild, my first and subsequent mistake was tipping it upside down with the top off and the little check valve falling on the bench,+ where it came from? I can tell you it doesn't run well without it. Hard to believe, a 4 barrel will get you a little better gas mileage...

    Pic of how my power steering goes back on 68 Fury LA

    Hello friends; "The mind is the second thing to go"; I took the power steering and alternator off a couple months ago, said "Heck ya I'll remember how this goes".......Heck no I don't remember how this goes. I've been told there were a few different pumps used(?) Mine is a solid pulley, one...

    If I could weigh on this, it's a one-in-a-million chance it'd happen BUT, so many of these parts have been passed around, I discovered twice in the last year that; heads were shaved requiring the intake to be shaved to correspond with the angles so they seat as a set, and either an intake...

    Electrical Question

    Hello friends; I'm running a Pertronix, eliminating the old points. I wouldn't think so BUT I use the felt gasket on the bottom of the distributor (seems only mine leaks if not) With the pertronix does the distributor need to be grounded? It's getting harder for this old man to lean over my...

    Where's the oil gallery installing timing chain cover

    I read "oil galley seal" off the gasket set description. Some folks believed it's behind the cam gear, in or around the thrust plate. I guess it's not too important I haven't seen any disaster stories. Thank you

    Where's the oil gallery installing timing chain cover

    Must be, I looked high far and wide with no luck. Now if I can just remember where the little yellow "flutes" go that came with the intake gaskets. (?)

    Where's the oil gallery installing timing chain cover

    Hi folks; I replaced my timing chain (WOW, I could almost lift it off the sprocket), installing the cover, the gasket set has a 12 cent "Oil gallery seal", a small flat O ring. Where does this go? Young and dumb 30 years ago I just ignored and tossed this, but hey I paid for it I'd like to use...

    Have a question

    Hi folks; I changed my timing gears, (OMG I could just about lift the chain off), the cover gasket set came with a 12 cent "Oil gallery seal" a flat o ring. Where does it go? I'm funny that way, I bought it I wanna use it. As long as I got your attention; I didn't drop the oil pan, is a...

    Converting from points to Pertronix, confused by resistor wiring

    The simple way around this is a direct wire from a "keyed" source, preferably a straight shot; right to the coil and subsequently the Pertronix. Yes it will run OK through the resistor, but you spent the bucks for premium ignition, keep it simple and maximize your investment. Of course you can...

    TOO MUCH power steering and brakes

    Got awesome advice on the TOO MUCH P.S. and brakes. Everything was spot on doing alignment, except adjusting caster to about 3 degrees which made all the difference! Thank you for your replies. Yes, the brake shoes were contaminated, and just getting used to driving a 55 year old car.
