    Power Boost Break - Valve Cover

    You could also put a dent in the valve cover you have. It is common when fitting headers and valve covers are thinner metal so it should be easy to do.

    Power Boost Break - Valve Cover

    In one of your pictures, it looks like there is a factory valve cover on that fits. Why can't you use those?

    57 Plymouth Savoy

    The car is really shaping up. The door panels are flat, and you can make new ones with a little work. I did that on one of the cars I had. The paint looks good overall. I'd buff it to get it cleaned up and maybe repaint the roof. I've always liked these cars. I'm not a fan of the "Christine"...

    57 Plymouth Savoy

    Those wheel covers look great. I always used the cork gaskets on the poly engines I had. I would use some spray gasket on the cork to stick them on the valve covers. It made it easier to put them on and get a good seal.

    Happy 318 day!

    This is the 318 in the 72 Barracuda.

    65 New Yorker, first project car

    This is all good advice. The problem I see is that we do not know his skill level working on cars whether new or old. Brakes are a very important safety feature, and things can go wrong if you have no experience at all. My advice would be to find someone that can do brakes and work along or with...

    WANTED 1958 Plymouth Fury/Belvedere 14" Hub caps

    In 1959 there were no special wheel covers for Furys. All 59 models used the same ones except for the lower priced ones that had the dog dish style. 1957 Fury wheel covers go for around $500 for a set of four in good condition. I paid $2.00 to $5.00 each in the eighties.

    1959 Dodge Coronet

    Does the car have power steering now? If it does it might be a broken or cracked hose. The part you are talking about for the fuel gauge to work should be the sending unit which goes in the tank. That is assuming that the fuel gauge is good. There are several venders that sell parts for 1959...

    What is a Sport Fury III, or a Sports Fury?

    I had a 1958 Savoy 2 door hardtop as a daily driver for a while about 15 years ago. There are quite a few around but most have been upgraded which I would rather see than another Christine clone. My car has been garaged since 1967 so the trim still looks new. I think that the stainless pieces...

    WANTED 1958 Plymouth Fury/Belvedere 14" Hub caps

    I have a set of 57 Fury wheel covers and they go for stupid prices in nice condition. They go with my car, so I wouldn't sell them. I bought them years ago to replace the missing originals and they were cheap. No one even knew what they were for. The standard 57 wheel covers are nice and I would...

    What is a Sport Fury III, or a Sports Fury?

    The 1959 Plymouth had a Sport Fury model even though it did not say it anywhere on the car. My older brother bought and ordered a brand new 1959 Sport Fury convertible in I think Feb. of 59. It had the 361 engine with 305 hp and a torqueflite transmission. It came with a little plaque that said...

    What is a Sport Fury III, or a Sports Fury?

    A Fury III is just what it says it is. There were Sport Furys, but not I, II or III.

    WANTED 1958 Plymouth Fury/Belvedere 14" Hub caps

    The wheel covers are priced so high because of the Christine thing. How many clones of that car are they going to make? I would try the vendors selling used wheel covers at swap meets. For that price I would add a little more and put Cragars, etc. on it.

    Any opinions on Liquid Tape?

    An X-Acto knife and some 3M vinyl would work like Big_John said above. Easy to apply and comes off easy if you make a mistake. You can also get it in gloss, satin or matte. The factory jobs were not the greatest.

    57 Plymouth Savoy

    I would sand it, prime it and paint it before putting the windshield back in. It looks like surface rust. As far as the transmission, there is a good chance that it was not drilled for a standard transmission. I've had quite a few 1957/1958 Plymouths with 301/318 polys and none of the ones I had...

    NOT MINE 1959 Plymouth 2 Door HT 700.00 Booneville, MS

    If that is a real Sport Fury, they go for decent money in running condition.

    WANTED 1958 Plymouth Fury/Belvedere 14" Hub caps

    If it has a 1958 date on it, then it would be early 1959 production.

    Fury Wagon Coming In Next.

    My friend put a 440 six-barrel setup in one of these for a customer. It was around 1970 or so and the car was black and in nice condition.
