That's a good point, don't want the dash screaming at me although I don't see me driving this too much at night. I would still like to be able to see the gauges and also need to check out if I have a short or not. Thanks

Managed to grab a 1966 Coronet Service manual off of eBay. Thought about ordering the CD version but there is something about the feel of paper as you follow along.

I've got some money for repairs/upgrades (disk brakes). I certainly need to start doing some suspension work. I know I can do upper and lower ball joints myself, it's a little intimidating when you see the 50+ piece bushing sets online... how the hell do you even start that project? LOL. It's...

Yes, this car is a 440 swap, car originally had a 361 from the factory. I'm currently scheduled to have my car into the shop on 02 Nov to have an evaluation done by a classic car specialty shop. They're going to go over it, verify the reported equipment on it and hopefully be able to give me...

Hey guys, dashboard is dark on my 66' Coronet 440. Can't tell for sure if it was like that when I bought it or not. I've only had it a little while and hadn't driven it at night. I did not get any history with this car which sucks but before I start tearing things apart is there anyone that can...

Disk brakes up front are definitely on the list (as well as the dual reservoir MC added). No sway bar on it right now, I did look. I really need to get this car off the ground and crawl around under there. Thanks for all the responses everyone. Lord knows what I would be doing without input from...

I have a compressor, air tools (1/2"), impact sockets and a breaker bar. I was talking more about the specialty tools like the fork separator. I think I actually have one of those... lol. I don't need any kind of weird press or anything? A welder might be out of reach right now but possibly in...

I do plan to get the major bushings swapped out, I know they're usually an issue. Pretty sure I need some specialty tools for getting ball joints apart right? Anyone have a video handy? LOL. I can look later if not. I know I have a bunch of videos saved that I can reference.

Thanks Jerry, I appreciate that. I'll have to get someone to weld the tabs, I don't have that skill in my toolbox. It is something I really want to learn.

Hey Guys, I just got my 66' Coronet 440 a few weeks ago and have since taken some short drives in it. This thing has a ton of body roll, made a U-turn at a light and thought this will have to be added to the list. I will have a lot of other things to do and budget is always an issue. What would...

I know that car, I considered buying it. Congratulations, is this your first classic? I've been a decades long fan of classic Mopars but only recently was able to join the club. I've had modern Mopars, 15 Challenger R/T and a 17 Charger Daytona 392 that I already miss.

My house was built in 2017 and I also had to break out the tape measure to make sure the car would fit. It does, but I think I only have 6 inches to spare.

Welcome, I just joined, I looked at several (66/67) Satellites before I settled on the Coronet instead but I don't think you can go wrong with a B body.

I bought this car from Branson, Missouri. I have no idea how long it has been for sale. For me, the car was right, price, engine, interior. I wanted a driver, something I wouldn't have to worry about too much and it was a good price. I have been looking for a few months now so I had an idea of...

I am pretty good at fixing things, I just have very little experience working on engines. I can replace parts but things like cracking the motor open, I will probably leave to the professionals (if I need that done). The car sounds great, starts easily so I think it's going to be other little...
