Is it possible to replace the horn contact on an aftermarket column switch assy? Fed up with the plunger scraping and jamming, thinking along the lines of a carbon plunger, powdrill brush block thing.

Well the carb on my 1970 318 Polara has finally given up. It's only 50 years old for goodness sake, don't make them like they used to.....etc,etc...(butterfly screw head vanished, leaking from shaft etc ) So I need a replacement for a Carter 2249/2027 (4895S) plenty around but which to avoid? Is...

The ongoing saga of engine cutting out....1970 318 Polara auto, once again the Polara died,as usual at a busy junction.So here's what I found after a bunch of folk helped push it clear. Spark at plugs Plugs were dry Had residual fuel pressure at the carb fuel inlet. Near empty float chamber. We...

1970 318 Polara auto, Carter BBD. Its been a problem for a while, I've tried cleaning carb and tank, fresh needles, check float height etc but the carb still floods after the engine has been run, i.e start the engine, let it run /drive for a while till warm shut down, the carb floods to the...

still having issues with a fuel weep from the carb joints so I'll be stripping it again ( found someone with an ultrasonic cleaner so it'll be taking a bath as well ). question is do I use sealant on the body joints? don't want to go down the tweak the screws route. I intend to try to reface the...

I feel I have not what I thought, I need to replace the rad in our 1970 Polara318. The new rad has the hose positions on opposite sides, as I had trouble getting the correct size belts I' m wondering if the engine is from something else? With the original rad everything lined up perfectly, has...

Just found out that the righthand manifold heat control valve is 'Well seized' shut, questions :- any gotcha's to watch out for when I simply remove and fix ? What does this do ? The car has been difficult to start when hot. A similar setup on my 235 C...y had been removed, is this a route to a...

just had to clean the BBD carb on a 1970 318 Dodge auto, was ok till I floored it and blocked every orifice, ended up getting a small cup full of crud out, honest, never seen so much. anyway I now have to undo decades of 'tweeks to keep it running' but am unable to find base settings for idle...

its only to be expected in a 50 year old car I guess, after some poking about I feel the air-con on our 318 70 Polara isn't what it left the factory with, the organ stop selector in the cab operates through one big electrical block (manual shows 3 smaller blocks) the demist manifold has been...

our 70 Polara (318) has just failed its annual check because of excessive play in the drivers side lower ball joint, I'm unable to finding a replacement listed anywhere, are they called something us Brits don't understand? Are they the same as fitted to the 'OTHER' MOPARS,you know those showy A...

Having spent the day refitting bits of dash panel, I got to wonder, On the assembly line was the dash panel put in as a complete assembly? I can't imagine someone wrestling with fiddly hidden screws as the car moved down the line, OK I have two left hands full of thumbs and selective eyesight...

I've got the steering out of my 1970 Polara and would like to replace the rubber couplings in the column, are they the same as B bodies? or breed specific? Also where from?

Our 70 Polara has the factory air con fitted. Question is,can someone please tell me how to get warm air,it's either cooking or freezing,so many buttons to push.from the left they are,temp,off,max a/c,AC,heat,Def,fan. Fan runs when max a/c is pushed in. As a guess it's all electric with no...

the steering motor (not the pump)on my 1970 Polara needs an overhaul, weeping from shafts and generaly lazy,question is, should I boldly go and do it myself or get a recon? I'm told setting them up can be 'interesting'. Are there different types? I notice there are different seal kits...

On the 70 Polara, with weight off the front suspension (i.e. hanging) should the front brake flexy be tight ? the new hose is the same length as the old but the tester didn't like it and nearly failed the car because of it.

when I first got the 70 Polara the brakes were nasty,lot of pedal travel then everything happened..so I have just had the whole system replaced, new cylinders all round,including master, new linings and flexies. now the pedal travel is nice and firm but braking action is lacking, on a test rig...

We've had the Polara out and about a few times now, Lincolnshire isn't known for having great roads and this has shown up a couple of issues,porpoising down the seafront showed up the shot dampers and a couple of interesting stops has led to a full brake overhaul.over all we're really pleased...

My 1970 Polara is going in for paint soon, the shop is asking if the side moldings are still available. I guess the rubber infill is removed then the strips are unscrewed, the manual I have is pretty vague. They're worried about damaging the strips and none being available. I think the infill...

any idea what the ride height is for a 1970 Polara, mine looks a bit down at the rear, origanal springs fitted, and they look a bit flat. I've got 27"front & 23" rear, measured through the wheel centers to the lip of the wheel arch, I had a look in the manual and can't find a base setting
