I'm currently with Hagerty. Originally had it insured for $9,000. After a year they recommended bumping it up to $11,000. I forgot what I pay because I had a couple cars insured with them at one time, but I want to say between $120 to $300. I know they will insure up to $20,000 without...

I was interested in putting a set of Cragar rims on my 68 Coronet. I did the front disc brake conversion. I was looking to run 15" rims all the way around. I'm not too good with the backspacing or how wide the rim needs to be. Can anybody recommend what Cragar model number to run or...

I ordered new leaf springs, bushings, and shackles from springs n things. It was pretty much one stop shopping for the rear suspension. I was pretty happy with the parts. I sent them an email for what I needed and they got back to me pretty fast. Here is the link for them...

I just ordered new rear leaf springs(stock Coronet 5 pack +1"), new shackles, and hardware, from Springs n Things. They were very helpful. Also got a set of KYB gas adjust shocks. I was just wondering if there were torque specs when tightening down the rear suspension ? I don't want it...

I've ordered from them awhile back. Must say the shipping was fast and the shirt was pretty nice and good quality. Just pay attention to the shirt size and fit info. They like to use a normal fit and a slim fit. My normal fit is alright, however slim fit must be for a skeleton..lol...

On my Coronet I used Castrol 10/30 and lucas with a Purolator Pure One filter. On the rest of my cars it is Castrol 10/30 or 20/50 with the pure one filter.

While we are on the subject. How do you re-tighten the driver side side view mirror ? I'd like to get that one to stop wobbling around.

I have a 68, and mine would swing all over the place. I think there was a bolt on the backside of the mirror that I tightened and that stopped it from moving around.

I think the kit can only be installed one way. I'm not very good with timing, distributors, or ignition, I removed the distributor, installed the kit, then put the distributor back in, and the car ran great till it burned though the cheap spark plug wires I was using. The only thing I can...

I just unhooked the wires from the ballast resistor, used a double male blade end I bought at a local parts store in the wiring and fuse section. I used the double end male blade end to join the female wire ends together. I wrapped them in electrical tape and that was it. I guess the only...

I had an 08 V6 Tacoma with a manual tranny. And I can tell you the problem is software related. My engine free-revved between 2-3k rpm's without me touching the pedal, or just releasing the pedal. It did this all on its own without any input from me. It did this for a short time, then...

No, I was asking which master matched the description of the one I used...lol. I just had my parts house order one for a '73 Coronet. From the picture and description he showed me, I'm pretty sure it should match up. When it gets in in an hour, I'll match it up to the one I just pulled.

I was driving my Coronet the other day, and the freakin master went out in the middle of traffic. Luckily there was no one in front of me at the redlight. I limped it back home and just got the old master taken off of the fire wall. Anyways, here is the question. I'm sure someone knows the...

How did the rag joint come off of the steering shaft ?

I may not be the right person to ask about this, I consider myself a novice and a young buck in this hobby compared to some of the others that were around when these cars were created and know alot more about them than me. When I bought my car, it was a 68 Coronet with a 318 and 25,000...
