Drum or Disc Brake Spindles? 1968 disc brake spindles or the 70-72 disc brake spindles or 73 spindles?

I am looking for a set of spindle for 1968 plymouth fury. Thanks, Timon

Still pretty psyched that the hood will fit on without any holes... I think I may have to source a pair of those outrageous antennas for the trunk area.... Are those repop'd anywhere??

These might help Alan

Why the need to replace the rod bearings in the first place? Excessive wear/clearance, gouging, erosion, bell ended?

It's too bad you're on the other side of the world from me. I have a complete 383 on an engine stand that ran really well before I pulled it from my 66 300 to replace it with a correct 440. Other than a carburetor, it's totally complete.

We track Polaras around here. Not many that slip under our radar.

It was! How’d you know?

I know what advancing the cam timing does, I just don't think it is something I would do on a bone stock engine with miles on it.

The cam timing advance is to provide better low end torque, with retard providing better high rpm power. Mine is an old mouse, and I decided to advance a taste. They go up to about 12 each way on the new gears.

OK, this is a lot. I had mentioned in another post that I would ask the friend trans builder about the OEM converter, which I did. He said, should be no problem, very stout converters. OK, this engine is stock, as far as I know, no converter, no cam changes. And, an interesting point on...

When replacing rod bearings on an engine that you are not removing the pistons from, you are better off doing one at a time. It cuts down on the chances of mixing them up. I know this is no help to you now, but the advice above is good. It should be able to get you back on track.

Thanks for the reply, The car sat for a long time when I got it out of the barn and never checked the seat, I just went into the restoration of it. Yes, all grounds are good and clean. I am going to pull the motors tonight.

Are there any performance changes? Does it have headers, Alum. manifold, bigger carb, etc? If not why did you want to advance the cam timing?

First, which idle specs are you using? The factory idle speed specs from a FSM or somebody else's recommendations? Same with idle speed. ONLY CAP cars had idle speeds near what you mentioned, not federal cars. In reality, the '66 383 2bbl timing specs are pretty good, as to total distributor...

In hope of lifting this old thread up again i reply to your text hear. The way you have done back in the days as you describe I wanna do to my old beauty, is it possible for you to send me some photos of how or are they gone for good after these years? Best regards Jonathan from Sweden.

Was this at country classic cars in Staunton?

Yeah. It occurred to me that there may only be 1. But you got it so that's great!
