    '66 Newport Radiator

    I'm needing to change out my radiator in my 66 Newport. I've found one that is a perfect fit but the shroud on my current radiator gets bolted to the side and the one I've found online gets bolted to the back side. Anyone know where I can find one that has the side mounts? Or even a shroud...

    66 Newport PS Pump

    So i've had work done to the power steering pump on my 66 Newport. One thing the mechanic mentioned to me there seemed to be a bolt "missing" on the bracket that mounts to the block. Currently, the pump wobbles and vibrates more than I care for it to so I took a look to see what he might be...

    66 Newport Steering Gear Boc

    Anyone know where I could find a reputable gear box for a 1966 Newport......or someone who does quality work restoring one? Mine has a leak at the top, mechanic thinks it could be a seal that is gone bad. We talked about replacing it or even having this one rebuilt since the settings on my...

    1966 Newport Radiator

    I'm debating on replacing the radiator for '66 Newport with a 383. It's old (pretty sure it's original) but honestly, it doesn't leak. I took it out the other day to run water through it and attempt to clean it out. At first it was a bit dirty, nothing terrible. It didn't take long for clear...

    66 Newport 4 door seals

    Anyone have any suggestions on where to find seals/weatherstripping for a 66 Newport 4 door hardtop? No post between the glass on the front and rear doors. I've been able to find weatherstripping for a 2 door but i'm not sure if that will work or not. Thanks. Rob

    '66 Newport fuel gauge not working

    I stopped to put gas in my Newport the other day. When I left the gauge read a half tank (which is accurate since I can make fuel last a while considering it's my weekend only driver). About 15-20 minutes later I happened to look down at the dash and saw the gauge was on "E". I didn't lose...

    '66 Newport hesitates

    My '66 Newport hesitates/"sputters" upon acceleration. Just started doing this today. Any ideas what might be causing it? I put new plugs in it about 2500 miles ago so i'm a little skeptical on if that is the problem. It's got a 383 2bbl.

    Reverse Lights

    I have a '66 Newport that when I put it in reverse the reverse light won't come on unless the shifter is over the "K" in Park. Any ideas on how this can be adjust so the lights come on when the shifter is over the "R"? I was told I could make an adjustment under the dash, on the steering...

    '66 Newport Carburetor

    I'm wondering if anyone could give me some advice. My '66 Newport is running pretty rich. The carb was rebuilt about 11-12 years ago and when I go to start the engine while it's cold it'll almost always start for a second before it dies out.......as if there is unspent fuel igniting. When I...

    Stiff brake pedal.........1966 Chrysler Newport

    I drove my Newport this morning with no issues but this afternoon I took it out again and noticed the brake is really stiff and the braking has become really slow. When I first step on the pedal the car doesn't slow down at all until I "stomp" on it.......and even then it takes longer than it...
