    Has anyone ever won a car show with their C body?

Mopar Madness 2nd place C body class, Chryslers at Carlisle 2nd place C body AND Celebrity Award! That was huge for me and the...

    Today's unsuspected barn find 1976 Town and Country

    There are no rear wheel lip moldings. What is actually missing is fender skirts. Will take a lot of witk yo get back on the road but rust free is always a big bonus.

    Timing mark?

    This is where the timing light withvthe advance feature comes in. As you may already know, when using the light, and revving the engine, the mark dissappears. With a buddy opening the throttle, and you with timing light, put engine at a steady rpm say 2800 give or take. Then point the light to...

    Timing mark?

    Ditto on the vacuum guage and timing light with advance feature. With today's corn fed gas pumps, factory timing specs can be tossed out the window. Once you clean the timing marks on the tab, set at 10 degrees BTDC. Any mopar engine will start and run at 10. Using vacuum guage, goal is 17 to 20...

    318-2 in Formal C-Bodies

    It can be quite possible but not 100% sure. The Canadian market did some different things for sure.

    318-2 in Formal C-Bodies

    My Aunt had a Beige 75 Grand Fury 4dr sedan 318/904 car. Other than that I do not have any documentation. I am more into the slab era of the C,personally. But owned a 77 Newport 4dr hardtop with a 440 as a winter beater years ago. During the Malaise era, there is more documentation (in the...

    318-2 in Formal C-Bodies

    I agree on the Poly notes,but the Poly came with a 727 not a 904. Adding another note,Canadian built Dodge,Plymouth C's for 1967 still carried the 318-2bbl Poly/727 (yeah we got to use up the leftovers,LOL!) The LA318/904 arrived in Canada in a C 1968. The LA 273 and 318 were available in A/B...

    318-2 in Formal C-Bodies

    The first year the 904 was behind a 318LA in a C body was 1968. As the 318 Formals came out some came with the lock-up version of the 904 (early versions were problematic) and by 1980 F/M/J and R bodies got the wide ratio version called A-998 and A-999. 318 Formals got the 904,360 Formals got...
