    Help!!!! Column Assembly for a father son project.

    I have to agree with Ross, as those columns are complex and not straightforward to repair, but that is only half the problem, as the other part of the problem is that many of the plastic parts inside the column are usually broken after many years of use and aging effects. After attempting to...

    Formal wheel opinion - Factory wheel covers or Chrome Road Wheels??

    In my view, Formals are supposed to represent a trend in the applicable years of luxury vehicles that had somewhat boxy front ends and a lot of straight lines that exude an "expensive" look as opposed to a more stylish look. As such, it seems a little out of character for a "formal" design to...

    Hesitation when first putting foot on gas.

    Having spent a fair amount of time in my permanent assignment as an engineer in Chrysler's fuel systems lab in Highland Park, Michigan, I had the opportunity to evaluate especially the Carter and Holley brands of carburetors and knew both of the reps from those companies stationed directly in...

    Hesitation when first putting foot on gas.

    You increased timing to 25 BTDC??? If it is the warping airhorn problem, a carburetor kit regular rebuild will not solve the problem.

    Hesitation when first putting foot on gas.

    This issue has been covered over and over on this site and @CBODY67 has very likely identified the real cause for this on all these Holley carburetors after some time. I would send the carburetor to be rebuilt by RD Autoline in Canada and when you send it in, alert the technical manager at the...

    Last T&C

    The problem with driveability regarding California emissions was not the California emission standards, it was the lame engineers at Chrysler in 1975 and subsequent that had no idea how to calibrate a fuel system to run well when equipped with a catalyst. Chrysler listened to a guy in the fuel...

    New Tire Advice

    Personally I prefer to buy made in the U.S. products as long as the tire remains competitive with the best brands out there. Otherwise it is just a matter of time before the U.S. company goes out of business because better competitors will bury them with better products at less expensive...

    New Tire Advice

    Like @bigmoparjeff I elected to go with Nexen as well. Stiffer side wall due to higher load rating improves the underinflated look of the Hankooks on our very heavy vehicles and the sidewall appearance is much improved over the Hankooks due to a less busy design and unusual name. I do not have...

    1979 MAGNUM GT

    I wouldn't mind seeing some photos of your Imperial as well! Beautiful cars IMO and while technically they too are not C bodies, they are close enough to classify as such for me anyway.

    Where did you find enough NOS correct woodgrain? I tried to find some for my 1969 T&C and came up with only one roll and it wasn't cheap! Beautiful work!! It sounds like you are in the Los Angeles area, so I am hoping to see your wagon in the not too distant future down here!

    1977 New Yorker

    So the second generation of Auto Temp II was only an $85 upgrade charge? No wonder all its components are junk.

    1977 New Yorker

    I am not getting it - the trip indicator shows 71 miles and the odometer shows 1 mile? So the car is basically brand new somehow and sat for 43 years in a garage (and the owner turned the odometer back 70 miles)? And the price is $5900? All I am noticing relative to condition is that the...

    Your 65 Valiant convertible is really cool, but I think of the cars I have seen of yours over the years, your 1960 Polara station wagon is one of my favorites.

    Gosh Aaron, I am seeing this thread for the first time this evening. I am very sorry to hear of Sherwood's passing as we had known each other for more than 40 years. I saw him last at a Spring Fling maybe 2 years ago and hadn't seen him since then and was wondering about him. I will always...

    To white wall or not to white wall

    The aspect ratio is a little lower, so the car will sit a little lower and the WSW is a little wider than all the other offerings it seems. Interesting alternative to the others. Here also is a slightly taller version with a 75 aspect ratio: Classic 787 by Vercelli Tires Passenger Tire Size...

    To white wall or not to white wall

    I like the Optimos due to their higher load rating than any of the other comparable tire brands in this size. I have not had outer edge wear issues.

    Catalytic converter?

    Aftermarket catalytic converters sold for older cars in California need to be beefed up ones by law, but in my experience in replacing the catalyst in my 1989 Dodge Dakota and going through smog checks every two years, these converters are lucky to last more than two years in use. They are much...
