Looking for a knob for my 67 Coronet for the temperature control lever. Willing to purchase the set if needed. Prefer something in good shape. I will pay via PAYPAL goods and services only. Thank you

Fresh paint! 1967 Coronet 440.

Looked at the space where it normally sits in the garage knowing it will come back from the paint shop looking better than ever.

Here's a little project I've been working on this afternoon. I've been in search of 67 Coronet 440 trim tail lights for a couple of months. These things are like a golden needle in a haystack. I've sourced a couple of used units over the past couple of weeks. Tonight I've been combining my...

Sunday I took the time to drop the tank. It had what I believe was an original tank. The float on the sender was disintegrated as was the strainer. Everything was pretty crusty. I put in a new tank, stainless sender, new o-rings, and hoses for the filler neck and breather tubes. I have yet...

Front end Friday (a day late)

Agreed. I'm replacing the hoses, sender, and tank this weekend as I'm seeing evidence of the interior of the tank being rusty and the fuel gauge only moving minimally no matter how much fuel is in the tank.

No, theere was no fuel shot, the bowls were dry (according to the sight glasses on the side of the bowls. The filter (see through) was basically dry as well. This led me to the fuel pump diagnosis, but now that it starts and runs again without replacing anything.

The fuel filter was dry when the issue originally happened. At this time I doubt it was the pump itself but rather something in the tank blocking the pick up or the rubber hoses (20+ years old) collapsing internally.

Funny thing today. I came home from work, new fuel pump in hand. Something told me to try starting it. It turned over like always but I noticed the fuel filter filling up with fuel. Took a couple of tries but it popped. I tried one more time and she fired right up. I let it idle for a good 10...

Took the old girl out for a cruise tonight and had the fuel pump fail. Thankfully Hagerty roadside assistance was on the ball. I was home within an hour. I had planned on pulling the engine for a refresh/repaint anyhow so I can add a fuel pump to the list and start a bit earlier than planned...

My 67 Coronet is a factory radio delete car. It has no hole in the fender for the antenna and I found the original delete plate in the glove box. A previous owner cut the dash for a single din CD player of which I have removed and replaced with the factory delete plate. I'm curious if this was...

Taken a few weeks ago at a semi local cruise night.

I have a set from Scott Priver. I was hoping for a nice OEM piece but if I cannot source one, I will use the set I got from him.

I did start a WTB post for the complete assembly. I'd settle for the trim piece if necessary.
