    Instrument Cluster question

    Normally I would say no. '65-66 used one style of cluster (the half round one) and '67-68 used a horizontal speedometer. However, it does look like there is one on Ebay currently that is mislabled as '67. So if it looks like yours, it should work. Might want to contact the seller to make...

    Cowl fresh air venting

    I added a layer of black window screen under the cowl vents. It is practically invisible, and I figure anything small enough to get through the holes in the screen will flush right out the other end.

    66 Newport speedo

    Unfortunately, that is not a set screw, it is a oil wick. From what I can tell the magnet and shaft were inserted into the frame, and then after the brass washer was added at the bottom, the end of the shaft was peened out to hold everything in place. So, I don't think it is easily repaired...

    66 Newport speedo

    I'd like to thank CBODY67 for saving me a lot of typing, because he covered a lot of what I was going to say. :) I have a '65, but as far as I can tell the instrument clusters are the same. The Factory Service Manual should have pretty detailed instructions on removing the cluster from the...

    66 Ignition Lock Cylinder Light

    In '65 that light only comes on with the parking lights & is pretty useless. Given the similarity in dashes, I assume '66 is the same.

    Odometer suddenly working … intermittently

    Removing the cluster is not hard, just really tedious. Follow the directions in the FSM, make no sudden moves, and definitely disconnect the shift indicator. That one is easy to forget and you'll break the linkage (not that I'd know ;) )

    Odometer suddenly working … intermittently

    Here is what it looks like on the inside. Shaft 1 & 2 are plastic with worm gears on one or both ends. they transmit the motion of the cable (and slow it down a lot) to shaft 3 which has a gear on each end to turn the regular & trip odometers. What seems to happen is the odometer (usually the...

    Cleaning my crusty instrument panel (65-66)

    Yes, it does come apart, but it will be a pain. You will need to pull that modern radio, the ashtray drawer, the glove box liner the panel under the steering wheel. That will give you access to the headlight & wiper switches, radio, HVAC controls & the air conditioning ducts. (the ducts may...

    Sill Plate Extensions - screw hole?

    There should be a sheet metal piece with 2 screws into the metal behind the rear seat door panel, and a hole for the sill extension screw. I think the carpet is supposed to tuck under the bracket, but your carpet might be on top covering it up? This is the driver's side. And the passenger...

    Dash LEDs '65 and 66? How difficult?

    Correct, it should be the same as the clock & probably the heat controls

    Dash LEDs '65 and 66? How difficult?

    Not sure about your Dodge, but I assume it is similar to my '65 Chrysler. The radio has to come out of the dash (remove the ashtray below the radio, and it comes out that way) There is a small access panel on the top of the radio to get to the light.

    Power window switch/door panel question

    My '65 has a metal frame or bezel that fits into the hole in the panel, and then the switch snaps into that. I assume a '68 would be the same. Here is a set on ebay 1965-1968 CHRYSLER DODGE PLYMOUTH POWER WINDOW SWITCH BRACKET SET B AND C BODY | eBay

    1970 Seat Foam

    My picture was the '65 Foam. Which Legendary actually sells for all 1960-65 A B & C bodies, so it's pretty generic, but it did fit the frame well. I think the later seats all have higher backs, but don't know if they are all close enough to work. That 68-68 foam you linked to before should be...

    1970 Seat Foam

    Yeah, I suspect that the foam doesn't like being exposed to air. The bottoms of my seat bases, and the seat backs where the vinyl had split were exactly like that. I wonder if MoparPlus could give you dimensions for that 68-69 foam? If the overall length width & thickness match yours it seems...

    1970 Seat Foam

    How bad is the foam in your current seats? The foam from Legendary for my '65 300 was pretty generic. The backside fit the seat frames great, but the topside contour didn't really match. I was able to slice a lot of the contoured part off my original foam and glue it on top of the new. The...

    Dash LEDs '65 and 66? How difficult?

    If you have skinny hands, or can enlist a helper with skinny hands, I believe those bulbs can be swapped without pulling the instrument cluster (which is every bit as much fun as the description above makes it sound ) If I remember correctly, the whole cluster is lit with only 5 bulbs, 3 across...

    66 300 convert right rear power window regulator question

    The quarter window power regulators are parts 2520 860 & 2520 861. I believe 860 would be the passenger side? In 1965-66 that regulator was used in all C body convertibles, as well as New Yorker 2 door hardtops. In 1967-68 it was used in the 2 door C bodies with the Fasttop roof and...

    2 piece carpet. Overlap or butt joint

    Picture 1 is from 2003. The faded pink mess is the original carpet that came with the car. If you look closely, you can see that the carpet (along with the floor!) is missing behind the drivers seat. After patching the floor, this was replaced with black carpeting from a New Yorker. Better...
