I have a Glasstek hinged six pack hood on my '69 Coronet and I am using these; McMaster-Carr # 5667N387 They work great!

Yes I do.

I put 80 mil Kilmat in both doors a year ago and was amazed at well it worked. I found that the pop rivet in the bracket that is attached to the lower end of the front glass track was very loose and that the little spot weld above it had failed allowing the bracket to flop around on the post...

My '69 Coronet has one in each fender about one inch from the corner.

Yes, I did that when I removed some material from the heads of the bolts. I'm thinking I may have just not gotten enough thread locking compound on the bolts when I first installed them. Time will tell I guess.

I made sure the the converter snout fit in the crank before I assembled the engine so shouldn't be an issue.

The old stuff was looking pretty ratty so I removed it and slit some rubber vacuum line tubing to replace it.

Thanks. I do have some foam lying around. The doors are clean as a whistle.

Thanks for the input. So, I put the car up on blocks (no hoist) , hooked up my remote start switch and my buddy and I crawled underneath, pulled the dust shield and did a visual inspection. Everything looked perfect. I crawled out and fired it up and then crawled back underneath to what I...

Thanks All. After doing some research on line I found that I had indeed flipped the oil lines. The problem was that I followed the directions included with the kit that were verbal only (no dwgs or pictures) and it didn't work... or I interpreted them incorrectly which at my age is a distinct...

Hi All, Rattles drive me nuts. I am in the process of tracking down and eliminating annoying rattles coming from the doors on my '69 Coronet 500 hard top. I have found a couple of culprits and dealt with them but now I'm looking at the linkage rods that are attached to the key lock and the...

My guess is that they are 3/8-16 12 point counterbore bolts.

I'm running a remote oil filter set up on my 496 stroker and I have discovered that the filter does not get hot or really even very warm to the touch after cruising around the neighborhood for thirty minutes or so. I know that oil is going through it and it is plumed correctly so wondering why...

Hello All, Really need some help here folks. I built a 383 based 496" stroker for my '69 Coronet which is bolted up to a '75 727 filled with John Cope and A&A parts. The converter is a Hughes 3,000 stall unit. The flex plate is a stock Mopar part that came with the car and at the time of...

Thank you very much Sir. Hopefully I can help you with something someday.
