Snotty - Thanks. I'm going to use the white gaskets between the backing plate and the axle housing, because that's what was there, but I'm not sure what I should use between the retaining ring and the backing plate. Metal shim (black in the picture) that was on the pass side backing plate...

Hello! I pulled the center section out of the rear end of my '65 Fury to replace it with a Sure Grip. To get the axles out, I pulled the backing plates from the axle housing. The axles are held in by a retaining ring on the brake side of the backing plate. In between the axle housing and the...

Thanks to all for their input!!!! At least I know that this is an original 4spd car, though it's odd that it came with a 2bbl engine. The car came with what I believe is the original engine, a REALLY tired 383. I was going to have it built, but I found a complete, running, recently rebuilt...

Hello - My Fury came with the broadcast sheet when I bought it. I've checked out the online decoders, but not many of the codes seem to match up, and I'm trying to figure out exactly what the car came with. Under axle it lists 293 - can I assume that that's the ratio? There's no 293 in any...

Barge - Thanks for the info. I'll give Au-Vee-Co a call and I'm sure that they can point me to someone who carries the clip, since they don't sell direct. I do recall that there were some form of clips in the windshield channel, so I will see if I can figure out how the moldings go in. They...

Hello! Finally found a nice cowl cover for my '65 Fury, painted it, and it's ready for install. The panel was missing when I got the car, although the windshield trim was in the trunk. The bottom trim strip, the one that mounts to the cowl cover, only had 2 clips. They slide into the...

Thanks for all the replies! I SHOULD have mentioned that that the car is a '65 Fury III, sorry about that. Is there a link to the "Standard Parts" section of a Chrysler parts book as mentioned above? Chris

Hello! Can anyone post a pic for me of the correct type screws to use on the cowl panel? Thanks... Chris

Jeff - Do you know the reason for the difference, or which specific models each cowl panel was used on? Mine is flat.

Hello! I just posted an ad looking for a cowl panel for my '65 Fury III. Another member has one from a Newport. Does anyone know if they're the same? I couldn't seem to find a definitive answer. Thanks... Chris

Hello! I had my '65 Fury III out this summer, and while pulling into my driveway, the front wheel rubbed against the inside of the fender. The car rode well otherwise, and it hasn't rubbed since, but today I decided to take a look to see if anything was amiss. The car has a nicely built 440...

Thanks for all the replies... Here is what I've got for a jack. It's the same one pictured in one of Commando's posts above (later style?), although my car has no bracket to fasten the tire iron as shown in the same pic. There does appear to be a bracket of sorts on the pass side wheel well...

Hello! It's been a long, slow slog, but I've got the new 440 in my '65 Fury, and almost all of the small, annoying defects fixed. All the interior lights work, all the dash lights work, all the gauges work...hell, I even got the CLOCK working (although it really doesn't keep accurate time)...

Commando - The car has a mechanical temp gauge that read 170, so I'm pretty sure that temp isn't a problem. Train/Saylor/Big_John - I checked the distributor hold down and it was tight. I tried to turn the distributor by hand but could not, so I don't think that the distributor moved. One...

Train - I've already spent a lot of time with my head under the hood, including time cleaning and inspecting the bulkhead connectors, and everything seems to be in order, but I will re-check. The ammeter is mounted in a pod to the left of the speedo cluster, and I can remove the entire pod in 2...

Hello! I finally got the new 440 into my '65 Fury III. It's up and running, and SCARY fast. Since I got the car running, I'd only take it on 10 minute blasts down local roads. Today I did my first mini "shakedown run" by taking it to the bank, and that's where the trouble started. All was...

Thanks for the replies. I got the ignition parts when I bought the engine, and the plug for the chrome box did not come with the parts I got. I was able to get the proper chrome box plug from Napa, but the plug for the chrome box does NOT have the plug for the dist on leads 4 and 5. The plug...

Hello! Tomorrow I'm going to install a stock Chrysler electronic ignition in my Fury. I found several guides as to how to do it, and it seems pretty straightforward (see pic below). The only question I have is how do I tell which lead from the distributor goes to terminal 4, and which to...

Anyone? Has no one ever removed an instrument panel from a '65 Fury?

ChrisBCream - When you're drilling the holes for the mounts, be aware that the bosses that you're drilling into already have holes drilled into them that are perpendicular to the holes that you're drilling. They're factory drilled holes for mounting the oil pump. It's important to know because...
