    '66 Newport fuel gauge not working

    I stopped to put gas in my Newport the other day. When I left the gauge read a half tank (which is accurate since I can make fuel last a while considering it's my weekend only driver). About 15-20 minutes later I happened to look down at the dash and saw the gauge was on "E". I didn't lose...

    Bulkhead Connector

    Anyone know where I can find a bulkhead connector for a 1966 Newport? I need the top connector with the notch on the top, left side. Also looking for a good terminal wire crimper if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks.

    '66 Newport hesitates

    Yes I did. I've seen some of the OE style VR's..........they don't even look trustworthy!!

    '66 Newport hesitates

    Yup..........voltage regulator was bad. Replaced it and haven't had a problem with it so far. I did find where the smoke was coming from too. The plastic bulkhead got hot enough to melt it just a bit. All connectors look good though. I think i'll take the old bulkhead out and replace...

    '66 Newport hesitates

    Well got the hesitation part fixed, added some oil to it and the hesitation stopped.................took it out for a test drive and alternator gauge on the dash goes all the way over to "C" when I give it gas. Haven't seen it do that before..............car started to fill with smoke and...

    '66 Newport hesitates

    My '66 Newport hesitates/"sputters" upon acceleration. Just started doing this today. Any ideas what might be causing it? I put new plugs in it about 2500 miles ago so i'm a little skeptical on if that is the problem. It's got a 383 2bbl.

    Reverse Lights

    I also noticed there is a third bolt on the top of the steering column that may be securing another set of wires (see the cluster of wires behind the purple wire). Does that have anything to do with the adjustment or does it need to be loosened to move that bracket?

    Reverse Lights

    I have a '66 Newport that when I put it in reverse the reverse light won't come on unless the shifter is over the "K" in Park. Any ideas on how this can be adjust so the lights come on when the shifter is over the "R"? I was told I could make an adjustment under the dash, on the steering...
