My Newport has developed a rattle/clunking noise in the driver's side front end when accelerating. It always happens when accelerating. Bumps don't seem to cause the rattle. It started after I did some hard braking. Any weak points in the front suspension system that I should check first...

I've been chasing my tail with my brakes since I bought my '68 Newport. The hydraulics were shot when I bought it so I bought and installed all new cylinders and lines. Since then I haven't been able to get the brakes to work correctly. The master has been slowly losing fluid from the front...

Hi All, I've been going though the brakes on my '68 Newport and finally have them working to the point that I can drive it. I've replaced all the cylinders including the master along with the brake lines. I haven't replaced the drums, shoes (including hardware), and brake booster. The problem...

Hello everyone, I'm replacing all the brake lines, master cylinder, and all four wheel cylinders on my '68 Newport Custom which I just bought late last year. I've run into problem after problem and am at the end of my patience with this project. Hoping that someone out there may have done...

I messed up the threads on this bolt while removing it. Can anyone tell me where I can find a replacement? It's one of a pair of bolts that hold the lower suspension (the piece the torsion bar attaches to) to the spindle (axle) on my 1968 Newport. Edit: The bolt is 5/8-18 and about 2-5/8" long...

Hi all, Hoping someone can direct me where to route this vacuum line. From what I can tell it goes to the hvac area under the dash. The end under the hood is just hanging there. Thanks, Matt '68 Newport

I'm replacing all the hard lines and rubber lines on this car and can't find the torque value I should use when installing the rubber hoses to the front cylinders and rear distribution block. I've looked through the shop manual and on the forums here and can't find it. The crush washers that...

I'm hoping that the collective wisdom of the group can help me get my "new" '68 Newport started. I just bought it a couple weeks ago and I believe it had been sitting for a few years. The owner told me that the last time he ran it was on the way home from a shop that rebuilt his carb. The carb...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me with a question I have on the windshield washer tube routing for my '68 Newport. The tube that runs to the passenger side is either cracked in two right near the center of the cowl or I'm missing a "T" fitting or something. This is my first old...

Just bought a '68 Newport Custom sedan as a family cruiser. Needs a little work but should have it going by spring. I love the slab side Chrysler's. Would have preferred a hardtop but this sedan will do. Location: Minnesota
