    Alternator wiring challenge

    IMO, Big Johns advise, diagrams and information presented are exactly on point. Just one thing to add is that IMO, one of the reasons for the electronic regulator to move to the 2 wire system is that the electronic components are a bit less expensive and more common, and the way they are...

    1966 / 300 - Recommend Convertible Top Supplier

    I bought my top from ARO. ARO2000.com I installed the top myself. Was a big job, made bigger by the fact that i had to repair rot and rust on the front header. I spoke to the owner of the company Putt, directly who was very helpful and the top fit perfectly along with the glass rear window...

    1965 Polara floor metal panels

    John, Where I come from there is no such thing as a good slab side floor or trunk panel. Ive owned these cars since the 80s when I got out of high school and even back then these parts were rotting out or getting thin. By the time I source a good part and pay for it as well as shipping in these...

    1965 Polara floor metal panels

    While I 100% agree with the video on the rocker panel that shows, in my case I bought rear floor patch panels and trunk extensions from C2C for my 67 Newport. There were similar fitment and shape issues, but the one overall point to not forget is that for floors, they do not really show unless...

    temp/fuel gauge voltage limiter

    I designed and made my own solid state voltage limiter since I had parts to do so laying around. I can say that technically there is no need for that capacitor in a properly designed solid state device. It has been removed in my car and the only noise on the AM radio comes from the points...

    Ammeter to voltmeter conversion

    In my 67 Newport, I converted my ammeter to a voltmeter by removing the ammeter from the dashboard, gutting it and replacing the guts with a digital voltmeter of the correct dimensions that I found on ebay. I then cut a hole in the ammeter meter scale so the voltmeter would be centered on the...

    Convertible top hold down

    Hello, I am prepping my 67 Newport for paint. When I removed the trim around the convertible top I discovered that the strip behind the trim that i believe is what holds the top to the body is mostly disintegrated. Are these pieces available anywhere? I will admit that although I did do a bit...

    Open a 65 NYer door that does not want to open....

    One of mine was stuck like this on my 67 Newport. I used a wide thin bar between the door and and the body and pried carefully so as not to bend anything and the door opened. Problem was as described above. The lube had deteriorated to the point that the latch could not turn without some...

    How do i remove the oil pan on a 1968 New yorker

    Scott, if you're interested in a road trip to RI, I am sure we can make a deal. I think it would be better part of a day round trip. If not its ok with me, car is outdoors at the moment so hood is protecting the 440 under it. Steve
