Hi not to interrupt , we have the same issue with our '66 . Where are you sourcing your replacement throttle cable from ? . Thanks

When we brought home the '66 Coronet from my father in laws house ,my wife thought it was perfect . After almost 5 years of continual repairs , I realized ,there was only a pair of mufflers to replace and some speakers to hide . We have a few boats that will keep me occupied for eternity

Makes complete sense . Thank you

The aluminum timing chain cover leaked coolant from corrosion after only 58 years . The gasket kit came with a felt seal . Does this get used on a ‘66 Polyhead 318 ? There want one when I removed the cover . Thank you What types of sealant are we using ? Thank you

We've been with Hagerty for quite some time . We have not been asked to provide any kind of documentation .

Sat 66 , I don't know your real name , in the picture of the timing chain you have posted ,is that how tight the chain is supposed to be ?
