My 65 on its first trip down the track

Did ma mopar put frames on their station wagons in 1968? I have an interest in a 68 chrysler station wagon and I would like to know what to look for on the rear frame parts etc. cheers Steve

I need the console piece that attaches to the back of the console and faces the back seat. It is a moulded piece that fastens on and finishes the rear of the console. I believe the 64 consoles are the same. Mine is rotted and badly cracked. Color is unimportant as long as it is good and not...

Where I live in Northern BC it is increasingly difficult to find good high octane fuel. So I am considering putting a Snow Performance water/methanol injection kit on my 65 Coronet. It is 10.5.1 compression and I sometimes get some detonation. The timing is turned back and the mileage and...

Legendary I am a dealer for Legendary. There stuff is correct and fits. The headliners are no exception. Just be sure to use a glue that is rated for heat, such as vinyl top glue etc. That way when it heats up in the summmer the glue will not start to come apart. cheers Steve

It was doing it before I noticed that when I had the stock pump on it that the oil pressure was low and that it dropped when I punched it so that was why I put a new pump in. It still had pressure though, 5 psi at idle and a steady 40 at speed. The pickup was set at 1/4 inch from the pan. The...

no tray Yes, I have put 10W30 in it now. I must confess that when I put the pan on, the old pan had a windage tray but I did not use it as I thought it was just part of the old pan system. I know now that I should have used it. Would it make a difference in oil flow if I had?? That is why when...

In my 65 Coronet I have a 68 440HP motor. Bored 40 over, stock crank, iron heads, cammed, eddy performer manifold, headers and 3 inch exhaust. I purchased the motor mount kit from Schumacker as i did not like the way the previous owner had shoehorned the engine into the car. I purchased the...

should i try Would it hurt to disconnect the PCV, plug the hole to the intake and then put another breather in the valve cover. So I would have one on each cover. Then run it and check for oil usage and pinging? Do I need to have a PCV valve?? Thanks guys cheers Steve

I live in the Northen part of BC Canada. I have to drive my car a long ways to get to any meets, shows or gatherings. My car is a 65 Coronet with a 68 HP 440 Engine. The compression is the stock 10:1. Car should run on 94 plus octane. 91 is around here a little bit, but 94 is hard to find...

Here she is when I finished her up in June. First burnout All the suspension is new. Idler arms, bushings, pitman etc. Only thing reused was steering box as it seemed okay. I have bought the offset bushings, I think I will put them in and have it re aligned with the positive caster.

My 65 Coronet Set up as follows 440 RB I think stock small block torsion bars 73 New yorker discs and front brakes( I am assuming that the spindles were used too, as it was this way when I bought it. I just replaced everthing with new parts. I ordered a 65 kit and everything fit, but I found...

Time for a BC B-body only meet. I am in. How far are all you guys from Smithers?? I would drive my 65 net and meet up. I love that 64, great job. I think I will have to go see the doctor now as it has been over 4 hours!!!
