    vapor lock

    Look for the rubber connector line where the steel fuel line crosses intothe frame by the transmission. It is kind of hidden and often overlooked. Mark

    Build Card received from Stellantis today :)

    I live in Detroit and retired from Chrysler so I'd like to add some background here. The '68 and newer records were lost in a warehouse fire. This was in the Chrysler bankruptcy and "last one out of Detroit turn out the lights" era. Employees didn't know if they woudl have a company or a job...

    Potential Project

    I revived a Michigan 66 T&C that sat unused from '79 to 2008. I spent $3000 on parts to get it safely running, every part that had any kind of fluid in it had to be replaced; brakes, fuel, power steering, radiator, water pump, etc.. It cleaned up well but even with low miles Michigan had its way...

    Superseded Part Numbers

    I worked at Mopar for many years. The rules of supercedence in general is that if older part "A" is superceded to newer part "B", then "B" will work in the older application, but not the other way around. This was used to minimize inventory, and often because the supplier refused to produce the...

    New Member, New Polara

    My parents had a new 69 Chrysler Town and Country back in the day. The rear end sagged almost from new. 15 year old me convinced my dad to install airshocks, it helped the level and the ride, and the car went to the junkyard at 120K miles with the shocks still on it.... Mark

    Timing chain/gear?

    If your upper timing gear has plastic teeth, it is the original. Get rid of it. Technically these are non-interferennce engines, but the clearances may be getting loose. My 383 Magnum bent a few valves when my chain jumped a few teeth. Then there is the tow truck..... Mark

    Molded carpet

    All Chrysler wagons then used the 121" wheelbase shared with Plymouth and Dodge wagons versus the 124" for other Chrysler models. I suspect you will have more carpet than you need. Mark

    1965 frame

    The only other difference is that column mount transmission selectors are essentaily a holdover for pushbutton shifters. If the swap retains that shifter, a column swap will fix it, since you are not using the original transmission anyway. M

    1965 frame

    The 65 C Body has a unique one year driver side (only) motor mount setup. Instead of trying to describe it, see the Shumacher website that has some good illustrations of the difference. It is not a huge difference, and probably a little welding can make it work - lots easier than getting a whole...
