Let’s face it, to most “car people” a 75 New Yorker isn’t that cool. Compared to all the other cars that you would see there. Now that you got an award at a show with 200 cars then it must be a very nice car. So would you vote for a 1975 Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac or Oldsmobile to win a car show?

K5X is body side moldongs KL2 is upper door frame paint- interior 331 is the scheduled build date March 31 HL4 twice means lower is body paint and upper is for roof paint. Also tells us the car has no vinyl top 903655 is the vehicle order number. Will be on broadcast sheet also. And on the...

There should be no change at idle with the vac advance line on or off, so that’s normal. That is no surprise that the car runs better with more initial timing. all these threads that talk of the balancer slipping, how many actual move? Very few. when the timing chain jumps it retards the cam...

Yes, and Retarded timing or a loose timing chain. Smog motor anyway so it’s never great . The 2.7 or 2 something rear end gears hurt it also.

Does it still have the lean burn carburetor? If so get that off of there. 3.23 gears will help a bunch.

The the bar-b-que would be going on and all the smoke would come out of the wiring. There is nothing shorted to ground. Clean the battery terminals and posts first thing.

Had a sleeping bag with that same interior.

The overall tire diameter is the key number you want to be concerned with, not the wheel diameter.

Yes rear end gears make a big difference. And 2.7 will hamper performance. Same with tire height, it affects the gear ratio. How tall are those rear tires? They look tall. And you will want lower gears, which have a larger number.

It’s in the car and running? Then put away the timing light and put the timing where the engine doesn’t ping and it starts good. How do you know the balancer timing mark is reading right and not slipped? How do you know Your timing light is correct? Why is minimum ting 13.5 BTDC? Where does...

Why did some numbskull put on those hood scoops?

I have seen mopar steering boxes that can not be centered no matter what you do to adjustments. makes me wonder if they have been apart and have a mismatch of parts inside. EDIT: The pitman arm to steering box has 4 master splines and can be turned 90 degrees. I tried this on the problem car...

I own these tires on a 1961 Chrysler without A/C. I wouldn’t buy them again. They are worn on the outside edges from cornering on the highway, not from alignment problems. I’m not autocrossing or slalom driving either. My wife doesn’t think I drive to fast, and she is pretty conservative...

L@@k at it, it’s made that way. That’s a slot jack, if it tilts forward the slot could come out. Long wheelbase car needs to be lifted higher and it will straighten out when going up. Hook jacks don’t tilt as far for sure.

How scarce is that sunroof car? They seem like Druggies, drive it till something goes wrong and then leave it for dead. Go buy another new one. $9B in 1975? Money to burn! They should never have been so rich from selling oil. Glad the largest producer of oil is US. Should have been that...

That just a great and telling picture! LOL. Garden hose, water faucet, box of "goodies" gotta love it! Have fun on the treasure hunt.
