    Anyone have an idea where I could locate a plastic squirrel cage fan blade for the heater in my non-a/c Newport? Mine has a metal squirrel cage, and I'd like to find the plastic version.

    Alternator question...

    Guys, back when I got my '68 Newport I installed a 90 amp Powermaster alternator with an adjustable solid state voltage regulator. Krautmaster had already ran a charge lead to the starter relay, and bypassed the ammeter. All this works fine. What puzzles me now is if the 90 amp will keep up...

    Picking a new torque converter

    Now that I've got the new rear gear put in, the engine vibration this 440 has always had is a bit more prevelant. I'm suspecting a torque converter for an external balanced engine got installed. What I have is a 440 forged crank, 727 auto, 3.23 sure grip rear gear with Dr. Diffs Sure-Trac II...

    U-joint question

    After having a little email exchange with the one and only Krautmaster, he informed me I have 7260 u-joints in my Newport. I'm going to have Dr. Diff build me a 3.23 with a Sure Trac II center section. He only has either 1350 or 7290 yokes for the diffs her builds. Would it behoove me to have...

    A question of rear ends.

    Guys, I've decided I need to lower the rear gear in the Newport. 2.76 rear gear in a 742 case I have now is rather long legged, but Id like more spirited acceleration than what it gives me. Attached are the pictures of what I'm looking at buying. Opinions on going from a 2.76 to 3.23? Tires...

    '68 Newport map light

    Map light on the convertible won't shut off all of a sudden, and it's keeping the rear courtesy lights on too. The map light switch doesn't feel right, like something is broken inside. Anyone have an experience fixing these? I never noticed until now, but will turning the map light on also...

    Roller, roller, roller, make that camshaft roller, Rawhide....

    Well, I thought I had made enough of a sacrifice to the convertible when I bought the new steering wheel, but I was wrong. Took her out for a cruise and when I got off the freeway I could hear a tick and a miss. Checked it out and I have a couple valves that aren't being moved by the cam very...

    Almeda Fire

    I'm alive, and safe. So is the Chrysler. We had a fire, the Almeda Fire, rip through the southern end of the valley and charge north. Two towns, Talent and Phoenix, were nearly erased from the map. Yeah, the same Talent where Microtrain's resides. They came through unscathed, but some...

    I need a wheel....

    Attached are two steering wheel pictures. The upper one the wheel my car was built with, the bottom, the wheel Krautmaster put on the car as he's a bigger guy like I am, and the Chrysler wheel is too big of diameter for how deep the steering wheel is for a fat guy like me. Problem is, the wood...
