    '66 C body production info aka "How many?"

    Does anyone have option breakdown? I think my '66 Monaco 500 may be single digit or 1 of 1. I have a 440 365 HP, auto, tach, PDB, tilt, a/c, power windows and seat, trunk release, black stripes and the weirdest thing, Mauve over white. The roof was so rusted when I got it, I painted it white I...

    suspension

    I put a rear sway bar on my '66 Monaco 500, stiffer shocks and 235-60-15 tires and it made a huge difference. I did a '69 Roadrunner years ago, I put a larger front sway bar, rear bar, much stiffer shocks and larger torsion bars it was an amazing handling car. There are firm feel steering chucks...

    Wheels and tire ratio question

    your spedo will be 10% slower showing 50 when you are doing 55, as will your odometer, it will be only 0.9 miles per actual mile If you do fuel economy calculation, it will 10% better than calculated. If you have a 30 tooth speedometer gear put a 27 tooth in, that will put it back to normal My $.02

    I'm thinking about getting a vintage trailer!

    Before I bought my '79 W150, I towed many trailers with my '66 Monaco 4 door with a 383 and 2.76 gears, including a car trailer with a '69 Roadrunner from Sacramento to Pasadena. My car had A/C so it had the 26" rad, our C bodies are great towing platforms. You won't have any issue towing a...

    1968 NewYorker TNT engine ID question

    My uncle had a '67 NY 375 horsepower 440, it had the same dress up as a '67 GTX He was in Nebraska. He said he floored it twice, the first time it scared him so much he didn't want to do it again, the 2ns time, he mis-judged an on coming car when passing, he nailed it and completed the pass with...

    66 383 won't start

    I'd jump between the big wire and the bigger of the 3 other wires to see if it cranks, if it does, the relay has failed My $.02

    1966 Chrysler 300 Master Cylinder

    Yes it is, our huge calipers take a bunch of fluid when the pads are worn out. It is also a larger bore than a drum brake car. I ended up buying a mid '70 dual master and converting to it.

    What are you working on today??

    I installed a Holley 4779 750 CFM double pumper on my '66 Monaco 500 440. After 5 attempts at getting the dual line fuel feed to stop leaking, I purchased a new fuel line kit, I was able to get it to seal up and the car is running. I've got an Edelbrock performer intake on the car and I had to...

    Torque Converters…

    My $.02 Looking for 450 to 500 horsepower with a 383 is going to require a pretty large cam. They don't make good torque at the bottom of the RPM range. The slip of a higher stall converter is also more slip at lower rpm. A converter has a stator that begins to spin at higher RPM that reduces...

    Phantom C bodies

    for a C body it would be my current car, restored but without the Mauve roof. I would love to know how many '66 Monaco 500s with a 365 horsepower 440, all the power stuff were built with mauve over white with a black and white interior, it could be 1 of 1! All time drool machine would be a '69...

    Carb issue?

    I also ran a stock LA 318 2bbl complete intake on a 360 for a while (California smog BS) and although it idled ok, it didn't run well at part throttle, too lean. jetting up will definitely help. drilling out the accelerator outlet (if it is able to be done) may help, I'm not familiar with that...

    Carb issue?

    I had a '60 Phoenix Dart, 318 polly with a factory 4bbl. I rebuilt the engine and put a larger cam in it (I don't remember the specs) I tried a Weiand aluminum intake and it KILLED low end torque with little or no improvement on the top, I put the stock intake manifold back on it and it was...
