WHAT BIG JOHN SAID!!!

USA Auto on 18 1/2 mile is a great boneyard. I remember Warhoops. Now, you would never even know that Warhoops existed. I remember seeing a 1962 Lancer Wagon with the side windows deleted at that yard just before they closed up. Had a tree growing up through the spare wheel well, then...

Aaaahhhh....that's a "Craig kit". You won't be disappointed! I just did the entire front end on my 69 Fury (same as yours). Not a bad job. Be sure to replace those lower control arm bushings! I only say this because people often skip that part because "appears" labor intensive. The job is...

Hey Commando1, You are correct. However, I went back-to-back on the disc setups. I hadn't seen anyone do that. I also have seen many individual posts about all three topics that I touched on. I was simply trying to everything into one little note. Next time, just skip rather than be a troll.

Hey Ross, I didn't not put the aftermarket system on the car. The car came with it.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share what I have learned over the last six weeks while working on my 1969 Fury III 318 droptop, and share some direct comparisons. I will try, but will most likely fail, to keep this short... 1) The previous owner had the car changed over from manual drum to SSBC...

Hey 6617rat, Are the convertible top latches available for sale?

I haven't posted an update in a while. Bigsexy is that the alignment shop. this is a really cool place built inside of an old gas station. You have to get an appointment at least 6 weeks in advance at this place. I just thought these pictures looked cool, and I love the look with the wider...

I can give you some first-hand live experience.... Bought my 1969 Fury in February of 2023. Previous owner had someone install SSBC rotors, calipers, adapters, and adjustable rear brake valve. Also installed a LEEDS brake booster. 1) Car stops fine in a controlled stop. However, a panic...

Ok.....Here's question. I just put my 69 fury back together. I rebuilt the entire front suspension, and did a factory disc setup on it. I set the ride height. From my eyes, the ride height looks good. I did the factory procedure from the shop manual where you measure from the lowest point of...

Here are a few photos of the last couple of days funsies. I wish I had a quality tubing Bender, but I did the best I could with what I had. I'm glad I kept the pedal also out of the 72 New Yorker. I now have proper pedal for power brakes with the proper pivot point. between the new suspension...

Sorry...yes. I will post photos tonight. Suspension is in place. Struggling with achieving rotors for the 1972 brake system. I got burned by the "the computer says these will fit" at the local auto parts store (they sold me 1973 rotors). However, I will be getting some Raybestos 7012...

Hello, I I'm looking for the rubber brake pedal cover that fits the pedal from a 72 New Yorker. I used the pedal assembly for my manual drum to power disc conversion on my 69 fury. unfortunately the rubber pedal is gone. I don't care whether it has the stainless trim or not, though that would...

So I'm converting my 69 Fury over to brakes from a 72 New Yorker. I figured I would do this while I'm doing the complete suspension rebuild. today with much effort and heat, I got the bleeders and the brake lines out of each caliper, so that's good. one caliper had a very stuck piston, which I...

I feel even more stupid. I used the tool in the photo. Total removal time ..20 seconds. 39 years of wrenching and I never used one. Thanks everyone for the help. On a side note, my son and I got into a work groove last night. We got the upper ball joints into the control arm, and pressed on...

Agreed on what everyone else is saying. Even with my lower control arm hanging loosely with the ball joint and shock absorber disconnected, the bar still was being a little fussy about coming out. I suspect after 50 years, they are kinda happy where they are. Rags above is correct; the...

Here's today's funsies. You probably can't tell from the pictures, but the one lower control arm bushing is so wasted that the pin is actually pointing crooked. I don't know how this car drove as well as it did. I also successfully got the wasted strut rod sleeves off the strut rods. they were...

wow. thanks for all your help Mopar man! that was some great information! I got mine apart today. I came up with one and a half inches just like you. I ordered some tubular steel like MrMoparChp suggested. I had a split mine myself with a cutting wheel to get it off. as you can see up close...

Thank you everyone. Tubing ordered from McMaster Carr 2 minutes ago.

Thanks everyone for your replies! This is so helpful! Note to Alan (Mr.MoparCHP) You wouldn't happen to have the LENGTH of that NOS piece shown in your photo, do you? Mine are so garbled, I cannot get an accurate length measurement.
