I did my 64 Fury. Same basic car. Used the 10.95 kit from Doctor Diff so could keep my 14" wheels. But dont buy the brake lines there. Inline Tube sells a distribution block to split the fonts and backs that bolts perfectly in place of the original. And their lines from the MC to that block work...

I miss the days of all the antifreeze being the same. Seems like maybe that DexCool stuff from GM may have started this? But NOW, almost every manufacturer has their own specific stuff. And FORD really screws me up. We have an F150, and when doing a hose replacement, I found very strong...

You sir, are a man after my own heart! :thumbsup:

The antifreeze is formulated to be mixed 50/50. Why do something different than what works??

Ever had water get on your distributor and plug wires?

Sigh.... I am just an amateur. Not really ready for the big leagues.

Yeah, this is apparently the next stage of life for me.... But, I am STILL a legend in my own mind! :thumbsup:

The caliper slides lubed???

I seriously doubt that the manufacturer would go to the expense to put in all those springs if they were not needed for the seat to function as designed. Just wiring them together may make for less comfortable seating. Ma Mopar had some pretty good designers and engineers.....Be a bitch to put...

Original Poster has not said if he replaced the flapper or not. (At least, I have not seen that...)

Lots of them do now. I use the tape on the end trick like shown late in the video. Just cut the tape off with a utility knife when need to use the caulk again. Reseal with more tape. I have had a tube of silicone last about a year when using this method. Black Gorilla tape is my "go to" for...

X2 on the flapper. I didn't see that you replaced it in your original posting? Also, I had a running toilet issue a while back with a new flapper that went bad VERY quickly. Found out that those pretty blue pills that the Boss Lady was dropping in the tanks was the culprit. Some flappers are...

Welcome from Botetourt County, Va.

Be very careful when draining and removing the pan. Look for any small parts like balls or springs before you dump all the fluid. Maybe something in the shift linkage or valve body came apart. Just an idea....

This is how I support my Mopars. Jackstand under the front subframe rails. This was my 64 Fury as I was doing the disc brake conversion. I was able to use the floor jack to position the LCA as needed for removing the lower ball joints, as well as supporting the new assembly as it was being put...
