    Rear axle backing plate gaskets - which should I use?

    Hello! I pulled the center section out of the rear end of my '65 Fury to replace it with a Sure Grip. To get the axles out, I pulled the backing plates from the axle housing. The axles are held in by a retaining ring on the brake side of the backing plate. In between the axle housing and the...

    WANTED Molding clips - '65 Fury - for bottom windshield molding strip that attaches to cowl cover

    Pic attached. These are the clips for the bottom windshield molding that mounts on the cowl cover. Au-Ve-Co does NOT have them, nor was I able to find any on Ebay. Au-Ve-Co has similar clips, but they will NOT work. The square portion of the clip is flatened so that it can fit into the...

    Need a posi center section for my '65 Fury. Looking for one that's ready to go, bolt in and drive. The car has a nicely built 440 and a 4spd, so I prefer a 489 case. Let me know what you have. Thanks... Chris Monroe, CT

    Anyone good with broadcast sheets? '65 Fury

    Hello - My Fury came with the broadcast sheet when I bought it. I've checked out the online decoders, but not many of the codes seem to match up, and I'm trying to figure out exactly what the car came with. Under axle it lists 293 - can I assume that that's the ratio? There's no 293 in any...

    65 Fury - how do I tell my rear end ratio - want a posi..

    Hello! My '65 Fury has a very nicely built 440 and a factory 4 spd. I'm at the point where I'm going to have to buy a new right rear tire because if I stomp on it up to about 30mph, the rear tire will break loose and continue to spin until I take my foot out of it. So...I'd really like to...

    How to attach windshield trim - 65 Fury

    Hello! Finally found a nice cowl cover for my '65 Fury, painted it, and it's ready for install. The panel was missing when I got the car, although the windshield trim was in the trunk. The bottom trim strip, the one that mounts to the cowl cover, only had 2 clips. They slide into the...

    Hello! I just posted an ad looking for a cowl panel for my '65 Fury III. Another member has one from a Newport. Does anyone know if they're the same? I couldn't seem to find a definitive answer. Thanks... Chris

    WANTED Cowl panel for 1965 Fury III

    Hello! I need a cowl panel for my 1965 Fury, as rust free and undamaged as possible (the preforated panel directly below the windshield). I already bought a "good" one (not from here), that looked like swiss cheese after being soda blasted, so I don't want to go through that again if at all...

    '65 Fury 3 ride height

    Hello! I had my '65 Fury III out this summer, and while pulling into my driveway, the front wheel rubbed against the inside of the fender. The car rode well otherwise, and it hasn't rubbed since, but today I decided to take a look to see if anything was amiss. The car has a nicely built 440...

    '65 Fury - Can anyone show me a CORRECT tire/jack setup w/all the small parts?

    Hello! It's been a long, slow slog, but I've got the new 440 in my '65 Fury, and almost all of the small, annoying defects fixed. All the interior lights work, all the dash lights work, all the gauges work...hell, I even got the CLOCK working (although it really doesn't keep accurate time)...

    Uh-oh. New motor, electrical mysteries...

    Hello! I finally got the new 440 into my '65 Fury III. It's up and running, and SCARY fast. Since I got the car running, I'd only take it on 10 minute blasts down local roads. Today I did my first mini "shakedown run" by taking it to the bank, and that's where the trouble started. All was...

    Quick question re: converting points to stock Chrysler electronic ignition

    Hello! Tomorrow I'm going to install a stock Chrysler electronic ignition in my Fury. I found several guides as to how to do it, and it seems pretty straightforward (see pic below). The only question I have is how do I tell which lead from the distributor goes to terminal 4, and which to...

    '65 Fury III - Removing the instrument panel

    Hello! As I wrap up the 440 install on my '65 Fury, I wanted to fix some of the other small issues while I had the car apart. One of those things is/are the dash lights. None of the idiot light work, and I'd like to test the speedo before I hook up my new speedo cable, so I have to remove the...

    '65 Fury III w/440 - TTI header fitment issues...

    Hello! Finally got a chance to drop the 440 into my '65 Fury III to replace the tired out 383. The car is an original big block car, so I figured that things would go smoothly. Not the case. After getting the conversion motor mounts from Schumacher, which required drilling and tapping the...

    65 Fury III - 2 Clutch linkage questions

    Hello - I'm slowly plodding along, detailing the engine compartment before I drop the new 440 into my '65 Fury III. The car is a factory 4 spd, and I noticed 2 things that didn't seem quite right when I was removing the clutch pedal Z bar. First question - The eye on the clutch linkage rod...

    How to? - Install Mopar Chrome box electronic ignition in my '65 Fury...

    Hello! One last thing to figure out for the 440 transplant is how to hook up the ignition. The '70 440 has the factory electronic "chrome box" ignition, and I'd like to stay with that, at least for the time being. The engine bay wiring harness on the '65 Fury has two hot wires running to the...

    '65 Fury 4spd - How do I get the Z bar out?

    Hello - Almost ready to pull the tired 383 out of my '65 Fury III 4 spd to replace it with a healthy 440. How do I get the Z bar out? There doesn't seem to be ANY room on the frame side to get a wrench on the pivot ball. Is there a trick I'm missing? Thanks... Chris
