Plastic ones are sold on fleabay by the mopar shop as 66/67 Charger and 65 Coronet. They look the same except they only have the centre support piece and not the other two prongs on the side.

I just removed the rocker panel covers on my '65 Coronet convertible. Apart from the hole on each side big enough to get my fist into, just behind the rear of the door opening, I found a completely different type of clip on either side. One side had plastic clips and the other side had round...

What is the updated version? I can see a rebuild kit #04443436AC, I assume this is one size fits all.

Hi all, The plunge joint on my '65 Coronet steering column has a fair amount of play and I was thinking of converting to a UJ like those from Borgeson. The obvious advantages are no maintenance and no play. Anyone done this? I wondered if it was essential to maintain any up and down motion as...

Just found out that my wiring diagram had an error on the ignition circuit.

It lives....it lives..I nearly choked to death when all the unburnt fuel came through but alelujah...it started! Big thanks to everyone that posted and especially to nm9stheham for spotting the wiring error. I corrected the wiring and got what sounded like a 180 out of timing backfire. So I went...

Right, I think I see my mistake in the wiring. The squiggly line is indeed an 18awg fusible link. I think the yellow from terminal C is correct. It goes to the stock starter relay as normal and the engine is cranking. I see what you're saying with regards to brown and blue. These originally ran...

Thanks for all replies again. The fuel is definitely pumping through the carb and it's not that old. I've tried choking it, tickling it and pumping loads of gas down it. I've got the cylinder positions, leads and firing order correct and double, triple, quadruple checked it and I also asked...

Thanks for replies. Another day, another dollar, still not firing after eight hours of head scratching. This is what I did today after reading the 4secondsflat tech info. Got the engine to TDC, adjusted the dizzy to bang on #1 pin on the cap, adjusted the pick up terminal to spot on one of the...

Hi all I just tried to fire up my Coronet after a couple of months doing various jobs. I've rewired the engine bay, moved the battery to the trunk, added a relay for the starter and another for the GM HEI ignition module, put new plug leads on, replaced the steering box, rebuilt the heater...

Hi all, my '65 Coronet has a front disc conversion of unknown origin and retains the original single circuit master cylinder. I'm trying to figure out the easiest upgrade to dual master cylinder and was looking at a four bolt cast iron MC with 1" bore and a proportioning valve like the one from...

Thanks, I was wondering about a check valve. I think this is normally on the brake booster. I have a Holley 750 and I could only find one outlet but I'll look again. Thanks

Looking for suggestions on how to run a vacuum hose for the heater switch on my '65 Coronet. Manual brakes, no vacuum advance on the dizzy. Can I run the vacuum hose for the switch straight off the manifold? If so, is there a fitting available to run a 1/8 ID hose from the manifold? Or...

Thanks for replying. So I can use a grade 8 bolt, some chunky flat washers and just drill a hole through the floor at the back of the seat?

I just went to bolt in a set of rear seat belts in my 65 Coronet hardtop and there does not appear to be any anchor points. Is this correct and if so what are my options to fit them?
