CBODY67 I mis-spoke in my original post. The plugs are Autolite NOT Motorcraft. No numbers on the hex, just on the porcelain. Omni

volksworld Car is stored in a LEVEL heated garage. Float is set a 5/16 (to the crown) as per FSM. I guess I'm too dumb; you will have to explain that response. Omni

Big John Will Do. Thanks for the suggestion. Omni

Good Morning All. Replaced the plugs in the 'Party Barge' ('65 Newport 383 Carter BBD point style ignition). Six of the eight were dark tan ( I am OK with that as the 'Barge' has not been on any significant road trips this year) 2 plugs (#7 and #8) were gas fouled. Wires are from Lectric...

Good Day All This thread sparked a memory of an article about the center grille light. The Dec 1985 issue of the WPC news had a write-up about the 300 L. The article was written by a Peter F. Madsen and it outlined the trim and running gear of these cars. In the article he wrote: "From...

Good Afternoon Always liked the lighted grille. Thought is was a classy touch. Liked it so much I 'borrowed' the idea for the lowly Newport. Omni

Wicked Plymouth Here are a couple of sites to check out. The first one is not open all the time. Check the site to confirm. I have purchased from him. Great guy to deal with. The second is also a great person. His site is easier to navigate. The third is a shop the will rebuild yours. Many on...

drtrubs Great looking NYer. If the underside is as clean as the rest, what a find. Only item I see missing is the upper 'A' arm splash shields. Those are available in the after-market. Would great to see it a Carlisle this summer. Omni

Enjoy Omni

Big John The 'Barge' has two (per side) tail lamps. and a build date of 1 Feb. The outer lamps protrude into the trunk.

Good Morning A long shot might be Murray Park. www.cbodies.com I have a '65 Newport and searched a couple of years before scoring some. To the best of my knowledge, these are a one year only item, so the reproduction probably won't happen. Another long shot might be late '70's Dodge...

Good Morning The disc brake set-up (spindles/rotors/calipers) would be worth keeping. Many look for those when doing drum to disc C Body brake conversions. Omni

Ffranzwa No, I did not replace the steel lines (I DID replace ALL the rubber connectors. Vans has the steel lines if needed. A slight tweaking of the float arm was done. The float did not drop as far (empty) as the original. Compare the old and new sending units to insure that the arm...

Good Morning On a '65 Chrysler the cowl is attached by screws. Mine is an original paint car and the screws were not painted body color. Mine were rusty so I re-shot then with some argent wheel paint.

Just replaced mine ('65 Newport). Got tank/sending unit/filler grommet from Vans Auto. Tad over $400 including shipping. Omni

IMHO This would be a opportune time to replace with L.E.D.'s Omni

Bruce Address: Richard Gabel 5598 County Road 10 Wauseon, Ohio 43567 THANX and Happy Easter

Bruce Having not seen the counter weight in person (only pics). It Does look like what is shown in the service manual. Is there a part number on the packaging? I believe the kit part number is 2525081. What is the going price? Omni

Greetings from the western (forgotten) side of the state. Glad to see another '65. Picked mine up a couple of yeas ago from Wisconsin. Flew up and drove it back. Over the years, only a couple of Chrysler products left me stranded. A '73 /6 Dart (electronic ignition module) and a PT Cruiser...

Thanks Ross for the link. Unfortunately, the counterweight on a '65 looks completely different (as far as I have been able to tell). I have their kit (less flapper) installed now and the counterweight interferes with the #8 plug wire. I added a piece of con volute tubing to help protect the...
