    Electronic conversion question

    My 65 New Yorker was converted to electronic ignition by the previous owner. The problem is he wired a toggle switch to the ignition to supply 12v when cranking. I would prefer to not have a toggle switch but I can't find a wire that has 12v at both cranking and run positions. Everything I find...

    Stupid question of the day.....trans crossmember

    So I had an eventful day yesterday. Swapped 24 spline input shaft and reaction shaft support into the 65 trans, engine off the stand, bolt engine and trans together, learned that Chrysler torque converters only bolt to the flexplate one way and then tried to slide the engine and trans back into...

    727 questions

    There was brief discussion about this in one of my other threads but I wanted to start a new thread to stay on topic. I have two 727 transmissions. One is original to my 65 New Yorker and the other is out of a mid 70s motorhome. Originally I was going to swap input shafts so I could use a hi...

    power steering to manual steering conversion

    What do I all need to convert from power to manual steering on my 65 New Yorker? As far as I can tell I will need the gearbox and steering shaft adapter. Is this all I need?

    The New Yorker had a slight make over.....

    Ladder bars and coil overs. I have a 28x10.5 tire on it now just to drive it for the rest of the season. I'll probably switch to a big drag radial for next years. Plenty of room in the wheel wells once you get rid of the leaf springs. 16 inches to be exact. Real simple job too. This took...

    65 New Yorker with buckets and floor shifter

    Hi everyone, I apologize if I'm in the wrong section or ramble on with questions. I just bought a 1965 New Yorker not long ago. It's a 2 door with bucket seats, floor shifter, console, 413 and a sure grip. I have always been a mopar fan but this is the first Chrysler classic. I know this car is...
