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 and Happy Easter Looking for heat riser parts for a '65 383 Lo Po manifold. This is for the aesthetics; not looking for functionally. For the number crunchers, the kit part# is 2525081. The counterweight part# 2465810. If you have the manifold (casting # 2205535) with the...

Good Morning All Other than Imperial Services, is there any one else that fabs speedometer cables? I was in contact with Steven at Imp Services, but all communication has ceased as of approx three weeks ago. E mails are unanswered and when you call your are directed to a voice mail box that...

Good Evening All Got the Party Barge ('65 Newport) out of dry dock today. All the upgrades/tweaking done over he winter months checked out O.K. However, a new gremlin has appeared. The fuel tank reads empty. Preliminary checks lead to the sending unit itself. The float was replaced a...

Good Morning All I added a later style cruise control (turn signal lever actuated) to a '65 Newport, I am looking for the upper speedometer cable that connects the unit to the speedometer. Does the earlier style auto pilot upper cable have the same nut on both ends of the cable? In other...

Good Afternoon All If anyone there has an older air filter catalog, I'm looking for some dimensional data. Wix used to produce an air filter (Part Number 42042). This was an oval filter which was used in the late 50's on dual AFB 4 bbl V8's. Otehr part #s are: Fram...

Good Day All Not being one to leave well enough alone, I would like to upgrade my low beam head light relay on the '65 Newport to a time delay. The system, as it stands now, has 4 terminal relays, the plugs are the five cavity style. If I understand the internet searches, I would need a 5...

Good Day All Not wanting to hijack other threads on this, so here is one more on the ammeter bypass. What is the difference between the method that cbarge outlined (adding an additional wire from the alt stud to the starter relay), and the procedure where you run two wires directly to...

Good Morning All Have a Mopar Rimblow steering wheel complete with center cap and adapter. This was refurbished by Plumbeeber Rimblow restorations 14 years ago. (Invoice attached). Had this on a '71 Superbee until it was old a few years ago. Been hanging on the Man Cave wall as 'garage art'...

Good Morning All As the 'Polar Vortex' barrels across the country, I'm out in the Man Cave finishing up projects on the Party Barge. I have the rear seat out to be reupholstered, so I'm looking at the installation of rear seat belts. I read the thread on the the '68 300 and that answered some...

Good Afternoon All Not sure where to post this. Driveline issues seemed appropriate. With the Part Barge ('65 Newport) in dry dock for the winter, I am addressing some 'gremlins' that pop up from time to time. One of them is the speedometer. Every now and then (no reason that I can find)...

Good Morning Is there a process that will post pictures to private messages the same way that you can for forum questions? I am not a techno-wiz. I use a camera and a computer. ( I realize that that is archaic, but that is as tech savy that I get). Thanks for your time Happy New Year Omni

That time of year again. July is seven months away. As the snow is falling in the Northwest part of the Buckeye State, I am enjoying my morning coffee before we go off to church. My inbox is getting info from Carlisle with discount offers. Carlisle is a great show (much better that the...

Good Afternoon All Quick question: To increase the revolutions of the speedo cable, do add or subtract teeth from the pinion gear? Thanks to all who respond. Happy New Year Omni

Good Day All and Happy New Year I have a second set of Poverty Caps that I have held on to for many years. These are mid '60's Dodge with the 'Fratzog'. The caps are NOT NOS or perfect. The paint is faded. However, they are in very good condition with a couple of 'dings' on the lip of two of...

Good Morning Starting to clean out the barn. 1st up is a set of 4 poverty caps for early '70's Mopars. Not NOS or perfect, but very presentable. $100.00 for the set (plus a ride in the truck if applicable). Located in NW Ohio. PM if interested.

Good Day all and Merry Christmas With work/upgrades progressing on the "Barge' ('65 Newport). I am now turned my attention to an annoying problem that I have dealt with for the past couple of years. There is a transmission 'weep' in the area of the tail housing. The speedo o-rings have been...

Good Day All Just received the Road Wheels from 'C Body Boat'. The wheels look great with one small casualty; one of the center caps was damaged in shipment. Not a huge deal, I believe some JB weld would repair it nicely. I have a collection of center caps from vehicles long gone. I found some...

Good Morning All One of the winter projects for the 'Barge' (65 Newport) is to upgrade the brake to a dual master cylinder. the Newport was originally equipped with a Kelsey-Hayes booster. was not able to find a re-builder of these. There is nothing wrong with it, just wanted to renew the...
