Thanks for the link Tim. Universal hangers don't fit well w/ our 69-73 Chrysler models. The exhaust from Waldrons fit pretty well. Universal hangers were found everywhere w/ this hacked exhaust system I removed. There are some very tight clearances over the rear axle and rear bumper. Just trying...

Does anyone know where to obtain replacement exhaust hangers like that are sold.

Here are the new replacement parts. Shown are the left and right 1 piece manifold to muffler pipes. Left side was spot on. the right had to be massaged a little. It appears the correct exhaust hangers need are the same as my Hurst 300. Universal hangers were employed currently. see last 4 photos

Next to do was address the leak prone patched up exhaust. The cure was to install a dual exhaust kit from Waldron w/ Imperial mufflers. As you can see the present exhaust Had been patched up many times

Murry B Park in Tiffin Ohio, here is the web site link. @cbodies.com. Family run operation, be patient, Murry is a good guy. Has absolutely the largest salvage yard stash of C bodies.

Here is my take on how to rebuild w/ success. As @dematt said bore the cylinders .030 over. That will insure good ring seal also it will remove the ridge at the top of the cyl. bores eliminating possible piston ring breakage. As for your crankshaft, if measuring w/ a micrometer allows, micro...

I have used them in on C body cars and they perform rather well. Word of advice, stay away from China crap.

Speed nuts behind the sail panel.

Almost 100% sunshine.

Indy is in the total eclipse zone. Total 100% est 2-4 minutes. Super heavy traffic this morning.

Congrats, well deserved promotion.

Without him what we have would not be possible.

Wyatt, I have followed this thread and your craftmanship and attention to detail shows everywhere. The great tip on axle housing wear that is not that well known. @ayilar will have many miles of smiles w/ Regina.

I can confirm for a fact that it will fit 1973 full size models including 1973 New Yorkers. Repaired @73 New Yorker heater box about a year ago. The seals were a perfect fit.

Ask Wyatt. If I remember well there is one there.

Got it

To avoid revisiting this again I would recommend replacing all freeze plugs. w/ the age of the engine being a 1968, total freeze plug replacement would be cheap insurance against future failure. As @Toolmanmike stated the cyl head freeze plugs rarely fail. They do develop thin spots due to...

My personal choice has been 10w30 Valvoline VR1 w/ a bottle of Lucas Zinc additive. The added zinc additive combined w/ the VR1 gives excellent results. The viscosity benefits is critical lubrication the upper valvetrain gets there much faster thereby minimizing cold start wear. With some of...

Just use the steel shim only intake gasket. Use a little RTV in the corners where the intake gasket meets cylinder head and engine block to prevent oil seepage or leaks. Clean all manifold bolts and chase the treads in the cylinder head. Oil the threads prior to install and torque to specs.
