    Replacing or rebuilding a Federal PS pump.

    Greetings. I have a Federal pump on my '69 NY (original 440 with only 60K) which is slowly crapping out. It's leaking slightly from the seal behind the pulley, and the shaft has some end play (very little, but you can hear it even with the belt still on). The leak is minor now, but I'm sure...

    Positive battery cable.

    Greetings. Does anyone know how long the positive cable needs to be? Mine needs to be replaced, but I am not with the car currently, and I would like to buy another one before I remove the old one. It's a stock 1969 New Yorker. Thanks in advance.

    Dodge van transmission compatibility.

    Hello all. I can't find information on this anywhere online, and I simply don't know where else to look. I have a 2000 transmission out of a 3500 van that I may have to install in my 2002 3500 van. It is my understanding that some of the electronics between these transmissions in last...

    Power steering box valve.

    I have a question about the two-piece valve that is bolted to the power steering box in my 1969 New Yorker. It's leaking at the joint between the main valve and the additional piece that mounts on the front of it. I know that if you remove the entire valve from the steering box, you have to...

    440 source aluminum water pump housing.

    Does anyone here have any opinions on the 440 aluminum water pump housings sold by 440 Source? if I decide to purchase one, it will be for the pump housing that has the exit on the driver's side. Any input regarding quality control issues or any sort of flow problems would be very helpful. I...

    Retrofitting a master cylinder.

    Has anybody retrofitted a master cylinder from a different application onto a C-body? I think I remember somebody using one from a later cargo van or similar vehicle. Mine works fine (it's an older re-manufactured unit that the car came with) and I don't intend to do anything with it soon...

    Adding a belt tensioner.

    I would like to add a spring-loaded belt tensioner (or an adjustable stationary one) to take up the slack on the alternator belts in my '69 New Yorker (with A/C). Both belts are about a half inch shorter than the factory ones so I can better tighten them with the alternator (with the stock...

    Ammeter to voltmeter conversion.

    Greetings. I know several people have done this in various places and at various times over the years, but I am hoping that somebody has a comprehensive guide available to do this conversion. I have a few questions regarding this. Can you physically separate the ammeter from the dash...

    Timing chain replacement.

    Hello, all. Are the replacement roller timing chains from Summit any good? I'm sure a number of different brands would work, but I want to make sure that I'm not buying a lump. The 440 in my '69 NY has never been apart, and has only 56K on it, but I think it would be best to change it out...

    Scanners / code readers.

    Can anyone recommend a capable ABS scanner for Chrysler vehicles built from the late 90s to the mid-2000s? I understand that at least some of the software required to interpret trouble codes from this and other modules is proprietary, but I imagine that there is at least one affordable scanner...

    Speedometer issues.

    I have no idea where to post this, so I'm putting it here. I could use some help with the speedometer issue I am having on my 1999 Ram 3500 van. As soon as I go above about 45 miles per hour or so, the speedometer needle begins to falter occasionally, and the ABS and brake warning light both...

    Not for a C-body, but a brake question nonetheless.

    Hello all. I asked this question a little over a year ago and wasn't able to get an answer, so I'm asking it again in the hopes of figuring this out. I have a 2000 Dodge van (5.9, rear wheel ABS) that has the ABS and BRAKE lights on. A hard stop caused the lights to come on about a year and...

    Centering the steering wheel.

    Greetings, folks . I have a '69 NY that rolls straight down the road and doesn't wander, but the steering wheel is a bit off to the left. The car does not need a complete alignment, but I would like to center the steering wheel if I could. Is it possible to do this simply by moving one of the...

    Issues with my 3500 van.

    I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm putting it here. I have a 2000 3500 series van with about 330,000 miles on it which I'll be to putting into semi-retirement over the next few months, but there's an annoying issue I'm trying to solve. I had an incident on the road recently which forced...

    Refreshing my 440.

    After a road trip this weekend, I discovered that the rear main seal in my 440 has really begun to bleed, and I think it's finally time to pull the motor out and replace all the soft parts (and some metal ones, too). It's been weeping for years, but now it's beyond the point where I can live...

    For Sale 1967 Newport 2-door for sale- $2500 (NJ)

    I found this while heading up route 36 near Atlantic Highlands, NJ. It looks like it's all there. I did not spend a lot of time looking at it, but at a glance, it looked pretty rust free underneath (the exhaust is fairly new also). There is crustiness under the vinyl top near the bottom...
