Big John Lug wrench fits. I did by a socket that they sell just in case.....

Good Morning I recently purchased the exact same lug nuts for the '65 Chrysler. I purchased mine direct from the 'Lug Nut Guys' Easy Shopping for Lug Nuts, Wheel Locks, Tires, Wheels | Lug Nut Guys Great people to deal with. I e-mailed them on a Saturday afternoon and got responses the same...

Good Morning I may be off the mark but what shape are the tires in? Broken chords perhaps? Tire with an odd bulge in it? Just replaced the LCA bushings in the 'barge'. One side had shreds of rubber hanging out. Car drove/handled as well as any 50+ year old car would. Omni

Ditto: Craig is a 'go-to' person for brake/steering needs.

Good Morning and Merry Christmas As you have found out, new drums are not always 'round'. If they are stored on edge, or dropped on their edge, they will need to be 'trued'. As one has no idea if any of this happened before you receive them, it is cheap insurance to just have them checked. A...

Good Day All Just received the Road Wheels from 'C Body Boat'. The wheels look great with one small casualty; one of the center caps was damaged in shipment. Not a huge deal, I believe some JB weld would repair it nicely. I have a collection of center caps from vehicles long gone. I found some...

Good Evening Both the old (K&H) and the new (Midland) push rod length with the rod as far back as it can go (no vacuum) measure .912. This is done by eye balling the caliper pointer across the mounting surface. The range given in the '68 Dodge manual is .910 - .920 with vacuum. Omni

Good Day All Working on the '65 Newport. Got the upper control arms off, bushings and ball joint out. I have the replacement upper ball joint threaded in to approx 1/16" of having the 'nut' contact the 'sleeve' of the control arm. Cannot coax it any further. With all the crud on the old...

Good Afternoon Received a reply from 'Booster Dewey (actually Mike) who stated that the K&H booster was not original to the car ('65 Newport) and that it was not re-buildable. I thanked him for his reply but I informed him that K&H was mentioned in both the Parts and Service manuals. I then...

Ross Thanks for the lead. I sent them an e-mail to inquire about a Kelsey-Hayes. Omni

Good Day All Starting to gather parts for this winters project: Upgrading the single pot master on the '65 Newport to a dual pot. So far I have the distribution block ('68 Monaco wagon) cylinder to block lines from previous projects, and a new master cylinder that I will pick at Carlisle...

Can you say: "Planned Obsolescence"?

Several years ago I bought some new Moogs lower ball joints (for a '71 B Body) that did not have fittings or any provisions for them. Don't know if this was a quality problem or just the way it was. Omni
