Good Evening All I have read all the comments (good and bad). Today UPS dropped off the new tank and associated parts. I unboxed everything and compared all the parts with the original. All seems well . I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tank was produced in Taiwan (at least its not...

Just Got off the phone Vans. Tank/Sending Unit/Pad/Filler tube grommet should be here early next week. The straps and 'J' bolts were replaced about 2 years ago, so they still look good. Planned on reusing the lock ring as the replacements appear to be sub par. I always run the float be hand...

Good Morning All Went out to the man cave today to prep the 'Barge' for the sending unit removal and to my surprise my full as of yesterday fuel tank is emptying itself on the floor. So, now I am on the hunt for a fuel tank as well. The one bright spot is at least this happened at home and...

Good Evening All Got the Party Barge ('65 Newport) out of dry dock today. All the upgrades/tweaking done over he winter months checked out O.K. However, a new gremlin has appeared. The fuel tank reads empty. Preliminary checks lead to the sending unit itself. The float was replaced a...

Good Morning All I added a later style cruise control (turn signal lever actuated) to a '65 Newport, I am looking for the upper speedometer cable that connects the unit to the speedometer. Does the earlier style auto pilot upper cable have the same nut on both ends of the cable? In other...

Looks like it time to consult a service manual.....

Good Morning Your carb originally had a metal tag affixed to one of the bowl screws. Sadly, through the years these tags either are left off during a rebuild,, or are broken of. Also, that may be a re-built carb in which case the tags are left off intentionally. Why? Because rebuilt carbs use...

Had an 1988 Omni that I got in VA for free. That was 20+ years ago. Allegedly it is still on the road, although I have not seen it for years..... Omni Edit: Found a couple of pics 'back in the day.....'

Good Afternoon All Not sure where to post this. Driveline issues seemed appropriate. With the Part Barge ('65 Newport) in dry dock for the winter, I am addressing some 'gremlins' that pop up from time to time. One of them is the speedometer. Every now and then (no reason that I can find)...

Not stock, and probably off topic, but here is a padded wheel that is in my '65. My Upholstery Shop whipped it up with some left over leather.

Good Morning If you are after originality give Murray Park a call wwwcbodies.com. Omni

Depending on what plant produced the car, the 'fender tag' is coded differently. Below is an example of a tag from the Lynch Road MI plant. This info was gleaned from Galen Govier 'Chrysler Corp Production Option Code Book 1962-1965 Read left to right bottom to top: SO: Scheduled Production...

Dan Thanks for the info. The Brewers information is now 'booked marked'. I could not find much, if anything. on dimensional data for the 8.25-14 tire. I currently have a 16 tooth speedo gear so this looks like it is going to be a non-issue. Regarding odometer accuracy, using the...

To the best of my knowledge 16 tooth is the smallest gear available.

Thank you all for the responses. Yes, I am referring to the gear at the end of the cable. All the charts I have found are for '66 on up when the speedo gears were re-engineered. I am working on a '65 with the small speedo gear (16tooth currently). My tire size is 28"diameter (225/75/15)...

Good Afternoon All Quick question: To increase the revolutions of the speedo cable, do add or subtract teeth from the pinion gear? Thanks to all who respond. Happy New Year Omni

Dan In retrospect, the bars did NOT have to be unloaded. I DID unload them as I was doing this 'surgery' without a hoist. With my head and hands 'were the action is' I felt better knowing that there was no load on them. You DO have to unbolt the torsion bar mount from the back of the cross...

That is a great price (with free shipping) considering the others are at least 5X that. Omni

Good Day All I mustered the courage to attack the leak. As the torsion mount is attached to the cross member. I unloaded the T bars as a safety precaution. I am doing this without a hoist so I am up close and personal to where the action takes place. One the bars were unloaded I placed a...

Good Morning I found a picture on the internet that hopefully shows the area that I'm talking about. (I am proud of myself for figuring out how to save internet pictures). This is NOT my exact tail shaft but for illustration purposes it will work. The area I'm looking at is the oval hole. The...
