    400 vs 440 in a 76-78 New Yorker - noticeable difference?

    I think this one's issue was throttle blades position while in motion.. it seemed to go from off idle to wfo. At every stop sign.. Sometimes I would pull the air cleaner assembly off and it would pull down the center of the hood on the 72.. it just never got old and it never broke.

    400 vs 440 in a 76-78 New Yorker - noticeable difference?

    I have a few anecdotal milage experiences.. My 83 D150 318 A833od with hiway gears did as well and maybe better in 3rd gear on the freeway. To much gear to push for the little 18. Had horrible throttle lag under 75mph. Drove like a normal car as expected with a tall gear and 1:1 3rd. Same deal...

    Interested in your thoughts on one low compression cylinder

    Any discoveries on this? I once bought a near new 413 that had two badly rust pitted cylinders. This I attributed to being the t we i cylinders with open valves exposed to atmosphere. I have seen engines where mice crawled up the exhaust pipe and in an open exhaust valve and pissed in the...

    Putting your car on a diet -- ideas on where to shave weight

    I have one those books with the slick pages that were popular in the 90's can't remember the publisher but I have several, one I think was super street mopar that covered these concepts. Even though it was about mopars I believe it's a Z car on the wheel scales in the picture. They discuss...

    1972 Plymouth Fury III (Gran Coupe?)

    OH.. that car.. I really liked that car. I would have liked to have the Mexican interior that was in it. Looks like he may have kept the rear panels and dyed them. The color of that car was outstanding.

    Started getting my 69 Newport ready for new paint.

    Man I like that scissor lift. Will it go a little higher? Im done putting lower metal in cars with out getting them up close to 2'. I can still hit it hard 12+ hours a day for days on end IF.. the work is above knee high..

    1972 Plymouth Fury III (Gran Coupe?)

    Well I don't hate it. Looks like a flipper car as to be expected at Mecum. Camaro seats and shifter. We used to run those seats in everything when they were cheap and everywhere. Can buy covers for those on ebay. May have been an early conversion because the horseshoe shifter is more expensive...

    69 lost keys...

    Well, The saga continues.. I took a door lock and the trunk lock down to a locksmith shop and he successfully cut the door lock but could not get the trunk lock. It seems there might be a blockage at the rear, which he is going to work on. He did wonder if I had the wrong blank.. since the key...

    Makes sense I didn't think about them needing the lock cylinder out of the switch

    69 lost keys...

    No keys at all. I did find out we have a local locksmith that has been in the same spot for 50 years. Im hoping I can take him a door lock and the trunk lock this week and get keys. The car will probably not be here long so I need a quick solution but I appreciate the offer. I may end up loaning...

    This is Newp

    This is Newp, him and his home are a long way from home. He is on a layover on his journey to a place that may be more like his native home. Its a little wet in the Willamette valley but he will be headed to the high desert in a couple weeks. I noticed some bugs in the real deck and was going...

    Leaf vs coil springs which is better?

    I believe it is clamped to the housing with a manufacturers bracket. It looks well thought out. Im guessing it was a universal kit of some sort.

    I don't have some blank keys.

    69 lost keys...

    It looks like this is the best solution. The instructions to remove the lock cylinder requires that you have the key!!

    69 lost keys...

    Is it reasonable to think that a locksmith shop could make me some keys if I took in the ignition switch? Is there such thing as a locksmith shop? It looks like keyed tumblers are available for under $50. Maybe that's the solution but then I'll have an extra key, which is not a big deal..

    Well I hope he was hauling shine. The leaf springs look heavy as well.
