Most of the after market panels are junk, poor fit and much thinner metal. Find a solid parts car and raid it for parts. The lower quarter radii and trunk extensions are the same on a '70 Fury for both 2 and 4 doors. The complete rear quarters are unique to the vert. You will need to find a 2...

Looking at the photo of the upper control arms, they still have the factory plugs instead of grease fittings which were usually added at the first service. Was this a low mileage car? Dave

The hinges are attached to a slotted mount on the door pillar. If they are not badly rusted, you can take the bolts loose and slide the top hinge forward to raise the door. Before doing that, grab the base of the door and lift, if you have more than about 1/16" of up and down movement you...

Not recommended, Lubrication picks up dust etc and makes the unit stick. If it is sticking now, disassemble the solenoid and clean the plunger with some Brake-Kleen and put it back together. Dave

Normally I would suggest www.hirschauto.com as their engine enamels are about the best out there. At the moment they are out of stock on your color. I would try to contact them to see how long it would be before the product is again available. Dave

These were a really good pump in their day. Hopefully the rebuilder was able to source a diaphragm that is resistant to blended fuels. That was the main issue causing these pumps to fail. Ethanol blended fuel eats up the internal rubber parts in the pump. Dave

First off, if the dash is out, the ammeter is disconnected and there will not be power to start the car. Second, depending on where the shift linkage is positioned, you may not have a completed circuit to engage the starter solenoid. The shift linkage arm on the transmission must be in neutral...

Mopar C-Body 'verts have most of the support incorporated into a very heavy (5/8") structural member inside of the rocker panel. You can safely remove a foot well without support for patching. The drive line hump provides the rest of the support, so it is a good idea to cut out one foot well at...

The other problem with barrel metal is that most barrels have at least two good sized ridges on the sides to facilitate rolling them. Those are going to be all but impossible to remove with hand tools. Dave

You have got several problems. 1.) The 400 and the 318 use different transmissions and the 400 will not bolt up to the 318 transmission. 2.) The 400 engine was not offered in the Cordoba for 1979 only the 318 and 360 V-8 were fitted to that cradle. That is probably why the engine will not...

On a '65 Chrysler, the the antenna lead was routed thru the front of the cowl below the rib on the cowl on the passenger side about 1' from the fender. Usually there will be rubber grommet at that location. Dave

The line that runs thru the stub will be the same. The rest should be close enough to work. Back in the day, the factory did not have a part number for a replacement fuel line. They just supplied a 25' roll of tubing and expected their techs to fabricate a new line. Dave

That is a oil drain back hole to keep oil from collecting in the valley, so yes normal. Looking at your water ports, I am not sure they are the source of the coolant leak. Check the intake manifold coolant ports, does the one above the rusty port at the rear of the engine also have the dark...

Most of the factory steering components were not painted, although like a lot of things Mopar, it could have varied from one plant to another. Replacement factory sleeves were bare metal with a light coating of oil on them. I suspect that was cutting fluid residue. Dave

Given the very low production number, this is likely one of the two promo cars, as as far as I know, they were the only ones built with the T-Code engine in '71. Dave

If my memory is working, TNT engines usually had the dual snorkel in '70. Most T-Code engines in Chryslers were single snorkel. Chrysler T-Code engines usually did not have a pie tin for '70 as noted. A '70 Chrysler 300 was offered with both the T-Code and U-Code engines. Check your VIN...

Yes and the 318 engines all probably used the same one. The early poly 318 engines had a cartridge filter, most of these were later adapted to the later spin on filter using the Fram adapter kit. If all else fails, you could always use the gasket from a cartridge filter under the adapter...

It comes with the overhaul gasket set, check to be sure the new one is not still in the box. Not the first time a rebuilder forgot to change out the old one. Dave

Push the lead for the sensor on as far as it will go and it should be good, yours looks to not be on all the way. The carb is a mess. Try soaking it in a bucket of diesel, that should free it up and release some of the crud. It may have stuff on the inside too so figure on taking it apart for...

Looks like you are soon to be short one push rod. Dave
