    Random pic from local meet

    This wasn't a Mopar meet but there were plenty of Mopars there (at least half the cars had to be Mopars). Just a random pic someone snapped. I don't post much here but my car is still a live and kicking!

    Stupid question - can't remove map light bulb

    I replaced the dome light bulb and man its the brightest dome light I've ever seen. I'm trying to change the map light on my 66 Newport and I can't get the damn bulb out. I removed the lense, and couldn't really get at it. I thought the chrome part and the socket were one part so I removed...

    I bought a spare factory radio to have converted to modern AM/FM/AUX recently but was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for conversion company? I emailed http://www.wardsclassiccarradiorepair.com/ a couple days ago and haven't heard back yet but was just curious if anyone here has...

    Stock speaker locations?

    This summer I'm trying to get some tunes in my car for cruising, but I'm wondering what were all the stock speaker locations? I'm working with a 66 Newport four door. We're still under snow so I haven't been able to driver her for a little while but last I checked looked like there was a space...

    Beautiful Midwest weather yesterday

    Yesterday we hit almost 70 degrees in Southern Illinois. Did any of you Midwesterners get your cars out and enjoy it? I took my 66 Newport out for a bath and drove around. Missed the rubbernecking and stares as folks have to stop and admire. :) Although I did fail to go take pictures...

    Fuel pump replacement

    Hey everyone! Hope you guys are well. I haven't been around much because my Newport has been out of service and I finally made some time to figure out what is going on. Been too busy working on everyone's car BUT mine. Looks like I'm not getting fuel. First I checked for spark and I was...

    Recommend books for carburetor tech

    I'm looking to expand my knowledge on the finer workings of carburetor technology, and build up my ever growing home library. Anyone have any good recommendations for books on carbs? I know there are a lot to choose from and many seem to be brand specific (Holley, Weber, Rochester etc). Thanks!

    Any Slant 6 owners here on FCBO?

    After driving my Newport almost daily for a few weeks now, I've realized I would like to get another classic Mopar in a few years once I've "accomplished" the things I want to do with the Newport. However, the goal then will be a daily driver (March to late November) so a big block V8 would be...

    Car dies while backing up sometimes

    I've had this happen twice now and hope its nothing major. In my 66 Newport, 383 4bbl 3 speed auto, when backing up it will just die. Thankfully its started right back up the two times it has happened, but any suggestions what it could be?

    Ventilated drum brakes?

    I was reading about different things today and came across some folks running ventilated drums on their classic cars rather than swapping to discs. I have long heard that drums offer the same quality stopping power as discs with less weight, but that due to heat getting trapped in the drum that...

    Rear door won't open

    I have a 66 Newport sedan, and for some reason all of a sudden the right rear door won't open from the inside OR the outside. It has opened and closed, locked and unlocked fine since I got it and multiple people have gotten in an out. But I went out yesterday to roll the windows down and it...

    New pics of my Newport

    My girlfriend was off work tonight, so we ate wood fired pizza, washed the car and drove around for some pics. There was almost 30 taken, but I haven't uploaded them all yet but here are a few. (Note: the skid marks in the second pic weren't made by me; just a coincidence they showed up in the...

    What non C-body/non-MOPAR would you drive as a daily . . .

    Was talking to a friend about this who is looking for a new car soon. If you had to buy a new car right this second as a daily driver, what non-MOPAR and non-C body would you choose? I think if I had a family and was on a budget, I could see myself in a clean Crown Victoria Police Interceptor...

    Shopping for upper radiator hose - newb question

    I'm going to replace the upper radiator hose on my 1966 Newport soon as it feels a bit "soft" to my liking and I don't want an on the road burst. However, I was shopping Rock Auto and there are options for with and without AC. I don't have AC so I would obviously get that one. But out of...

    Couple less fuzzy pics of my new 66 Newport

    The last pics I took of the car myself looked like crap on my phone. Snapped these real quick with the actual camera. Been raining the past few days off and on here in STL so haven't had much time to go get more :( Researching now for new wheels. I like the look of these but they are too...

    1966 Newport 383 2 barrel carb - no start

    So I just joined yesterday after buying this car. I drove it around 80 miles yesterday, and it started up right away every time yesterday. I parked it last night and went to drive today, and it won't start at all. I cranks but no start. I remember the first time the seller started it after...

    Brake Master Cylinder leak

    I just bought this 1966 Newport today. Only issue it seems to have so far is that the master cylinder seems to be leaking. Looks like it's coming out of the top here? Could it be that the folks I bought it from filled it up too much when they were topping off the fluids? Also, I'm used...
