The other choice might be to find a non-tilt column at a salvage yard and replace the whole unit. Dave

You will need to find one off of a HD pickup motor or you can make one. We used to take a #303 soup can lid and use the EGR gasket for a template to cut it down. The EGR valve has two ports, on some the ports were flush with the manifold, those you just use two gaskets to make a sandwich out...

Bog and misfire at higher RPMS are classic symptoms of a stuck EGR valve. Try disconnecting and plugging the hose to it to see if the miss goes away. EGR valves are famous for getting carboned up especially running the moonshine blend fuels available today. Usually better to install a...

Carter #60577, still available from Carter and for sale on E-Bay, about $30. Search the part number for better results. Dave

Looks like the boot on your ball joing is shot, so you might waht to replace it. As noted penetrating oil should help. Dave

Since all 4 wheels are dragging, it sounds like you have a problem with the master cylinder not releasing after pressure is removed from the brake pedal. Usually this condition is caused by the travel rod from the brake booster being adjusted too long. Try backing off the 4 mounting bolts for...

The hole is TDC. On either side of the hole, there should be index lines with stamped degrees. If you clean things up, you should be able to see the index lines. Factory timing should be 5 degrees before TDC. Dave

The '77 440 is a low compression engine that was set up for emission control, not performance. Chrysler big blocks in '77'-78 did not run locking convertors. They used a low by pass convertor to improve mileage. The down side of these convertors was that they tended to overheat the...

Here is the page from May/June 2022 that shows the later listing. Dave

Some months are 1940-1996 others are 1925-1969. I suspect that they do this to cut down printing costs. Dave

"Old Car Report" is a pricing publication. They show values from #1 to #6 condition. Their numbers are usually conservative based on an average of the previous quarter sales prices. The May/June issue lists in #4 condition '76 Newport 2dr at $2200, #3 at $4950. Use there numbers as a guide...

That is a Landau top. Was an option on late '70's C-Bodies. Dave

It has a nice color combination and is well equipped. A #3 vehicle is worth about $5,500 to $7500 by the price guide. Those numbers are always behind the real market. If it was mine I would put it out there at $10k and see if anyone bites. It is hard to find nice two doors of this type, so...

With a rust hole in the trunk floor and a badly weathered vinyl top that shows water damage to the headliner, this is probably going to inspect out as a #4 car. $2.2-$2.5k assuming the underside is solid, parts car if the frame is rusted out. Leather is mostly intact but also shows wear...

They are usually attached to the steering column support or someplace close by with a bracket that grabs the flasher unit. Try running a ground strap to the rear lighting assembly to see if that slows the flash rate down. Also be sure to check that the correct bulbs are installed. The flash...

It used to great sport back in the day to put a couple in the trunk and sneak them into the drive in. Dave

The good news is that the 440 in '76 was not a lean burn so you will not be having to be dealing with that. Another major item with lots of problems was the ATC2 system, lots of issues with reliability. If it has ATC2, I would be inclined to walk unless it is a very pristine example of a '76...

ESA is short for electronic spark advance. Above the little handle that releases the park brake there is a small vacuum motor that is activated when the car is placed in gear. If yours is not working, it may be disconnected. The vacuum motors sometimes leaked and folks disconnected and...

G63 = Right outside mirror N94 = ESA w/catalyst K5X = Type 5 Stripe (X is the color) P31 =Power Windows P51 = Power park Brake Release PT7 = Coffee Sunfire Metallic (Has it been repainted?) If you have your build sheet, the codes are usually on the back side of the sheet. Dave

Idler pulley for the water pump. Dave
