    New A/C Condensor - What size to get?

    Hi all - I'm upgrading my system from RV2 to a Sanden style unit (and use 134a). I'm going to replace the condenser (and drier as well). I'm looking for some ideas on what size a/c condenser to get. The stock unit was 26" wide and 16" tall with a 3x3" cutout on the passenger side. I'm looking...

    Window Channel Weatherstripping

    Hey all - Looking for some advice on what to replace my window glass run with. It's that fuzzy stuff that sits in the window channel to help guide the window up and down smoothly. Mine is all rotted out and the windows rattle in the channel when cruising. For my 1968 Fury 3 4dr hardtop it...

    Went to a meetup tonight

    I went to a meetup tonight in my neck of the woods and had to vent a little. My car is in no way a show car or a rare bird, but just about everything I've done to it has been on my own, on my back in the driveway. I am under no illusion that my 4door is bringing home a trophy, or expect folks...

    Think I found the issue - Dying ICM

    After battling some strange issues I think I narrowed it down to a bad/dying ignition control module. Symptoms: Car started to intermittently die (after about 5-10 minutes of run time). There's nothing that will make you mess your pants like having the engine die at 60 mph. At night...

    Mono to Stereo

    During the re-do of the interior I wanted to finally have speakers in the dash. The original speaker was a 6x10 and was trashed, so I went with 2 5x5 speakers. I had to make a couple small brackets to get the 2 speakers to tie together and fit into the stock location. I realize that both...

    Looking for a 440

    Hi all - I've been passively looking for a 440 to build for my 68 Fury. I think I found one and wanted to get input from the collective here... It's a 1965 (first year?) with the original 10:1 pistons/rods and a forged crank. Supposedly there's no ring wear, so hopefully just a hone and...

    Clock running fast

    Hi all - I've finally been able to spend some time taking apart the dash and all the components in it. I was able to repair the clock and get it running again. I've had it hooked up to a battery for over a week now and it seems to run about 10 mins fast every day. I haven't found much in the...

    Rebuilt the rear deck

    Found the Build Sheet and something else interesting

    Hey all - I had some time today and decided to start tearing down the interior in prep for new carpet. Mostly to get a plan together and see what I was dealing with. I ended up finding the build sheet (broadcast sheet?) under the rear seat! I thought it would have been under the driver side...

    Help with diagnosis

    Hi all - I need some help troubleshooting a new engine noise. A couple days back during a drive I noticed the engine was surging a bit while at a stoplight and idling really rough. Up until then the engine ran like a top. Tonight I head out to take her for a drive and I decided to check the...

    Door Seals for a 68 Fury - 4 Door Sedan

    Anyone with a 4 door Sedan know who might be making door seals? I've checked the vendors on this site and haven't had any luck. Most of what I see is for 2 door hardtop or convertible. There are a few things on EBay, but am guessing they are cheap alternatives that won't fit. Anyone else...

    What is this bushing called

    It's a bushing at the junction of the sway bar and strut. I bought a sway bar bushing kit from RockAuto (MEVOTECH MK7061) and this didn't come with it. I can't find a name for it or where to pick up a new one. Any ideas?

    How much resistance on front disc brakes

    Hi all - After re-bleeding my rear (drum) brakes I went for a test drive and was happy with the result. The pedal felt firm, I was able to stop effectively. I felt satisfied that all was well. After getting home and turning the car off I put my hand against the front wheels and they were more...
