Last fall I bought a 77NYB coupe largely because I believed the low mileage claim, loved the color combo and feared it was priced in derby territory. Here and there I've been retuning it to the road. Some backstory because I believe it is relevant... Purchased from a 90+y/o man's son. The...

Skip to the end if you are interested in the cars. I have come to find the stories surrounding them to be as interesting, so I am including that as well. I became aware of a man liquidating a stash of Chrysler parts. Little did I know the parts were exclusively for 1974 to 1978 Imperial / New...

Looking at these for replacing the 40 y/o Goodyear Arrivas. I wants the wide whites and I'm not going to spend $300 bucks a tire for whatever the tire-police recommend. If it meets DOT, it's good enough for me. Anyone have them? Any other ideas in the sub $150 range?

Well, it made it.

What's everybody using? Rockauto? Good good part number substitute? Thanks

(I have to type some words)

Where are you guys searching for cars and "stuff"? I know that the default answer is usually "Facebook" but unless I'm missing something, it REALLY sucks. For example, I'm planning an extended working-vacation in the Phoenix area this October. By working, I mean reconditioning a small condo I've...

Threw my back out, (possibility while working on my own C-body) so I'm sitting the day out on the couch. This episode of FBI files is about a Philadelphia mob war. Bookmaker was on the wrong side of the war one morning, but at least had nice taste in vehicles.

I should like to mention that this big-block car, running mostly 50 y/o cooling parts (rad, mechanical fan, w/p, etc) just idled for over two hours moving at the speeds show below. While not a "scorcher" it was hot enough that the General's cell phone shut down from heat stroke. There were no...

I'm not satisfied with the seats in my car. While they are in excellent cosmetic shape, they do not support my weight. I am also accustomed to more "upmarket" C-Bodies, not the base package. This difference was reinforced (pardon the pun) when I removed the seat base with relative ease... I'm...

Is there an off-the-shelf replacement? As I suspected, my float sank. I seem to remember this was a part you could still buy at a Ford dealer a decade ago. I also remember zip-tieing a carb float to the sending unit arm once as well. What have you guys used? You'd think by now someone would...

Have a friend in the PHX who I've been trying to help walk-through an electrical issue with his Dodge Ram 3500. He had simultaneous and intermittent "shutoff" of an aftermarket pryometer exhaust gas guage, an airbags fault, and A/C clutch disengagement. I believe we traced this back to an older...

It may be an all Ford cast, but I do love just about everything about this movie. I was flipping channels and caught a few of the more memorable early scenes. Who can ID the engine? Is it even a Ford? Then Burt's (or the stunt driver's) hand shifting the 4 speed. And lastly an action shot. It...

Someone should study the phenomenon of people painting bumblebee stripes on cars that never had them. Not Imperials, Plymouths or Mustangs; for that idiocy is plainly obvious. I'm talking about painting a vertical line, 90 degrees from the pavement, even if subject vehicle has a...

I just read Rip's Navajo mega-thread and was going to tag on, but decided not to hijack. The Navajo option apparently lived on for '74, perhaps using up leftover parts? Or not. Who knows. Apparently you could get other colors by '74. This car was an original paint survivor that was being bid on...

Adding a master suite to my new-to-me home. It's a one-story ranch with a basement. (The one I was always working on was finally completed and sold.) The photo below shows my plumbing plan. I would use a Wye vs a Tee, but I'm not finding Wye's with anything more than a toilet-size connection...

Anyone have one? Just looking for something that would detect motion/interior lights and ignition/starter disable. Prefer something with a keyfob. No other features (locks, lojack, remote start, etc.) desired. I don't want to roll windows up every time I go in the party store for my blunts...

Has anyone here used jacks and/or hydraulic tools (porta-power) to remove relatively minor bumper damage? I'm not looking for perfection, just pushing out about a 1/2" of damage. If so, how did you support the bumper to confine the force to one area and prevent simply bending the whole thing...

Have these little hash marks on them (front and rear). But I guess you learn things when you start taking apart a super-low mileage, survivor C-body.
