My sincerest apologies @hunt2elk . It was an errant click, which has been corrected. Yes, today's gas is crap compared to 1970.

Just ordered one. Thanks.

My wipers died so I'm trying to remove the motor and test it. 2 Questions: 1. How do you get it out. As you can see in the pic, I've removed the two nuts that seem to mount it under the dash, but can't figure out how to disconnect it from wiper drive bars. Thought I'd ask for some...

Looking for a working speedometer for a 65 Coronet.

Well, it ended up being the starter, despite the fact that the starter shop says it's working perfectly. I finally decided to buy a rebuilt starter from O'Reilly, bolted it on, hit the key, and bam! It started right up. It's a damn shame that a starter marked "Rebuilt in China" works better...

Yes, the ring gear looks fine.

No grinding at all. Just spinning. All factory wiring and starter.

If I had any hair, this would make me pull it all out. I was having starter issues on my 65 Coronet. Hit the key and nothing happened. So I took the starter to a local shop. They said it needed to be rebuilt. They did the job. I installed it and hit the key. The starter spins strong, but...

Yes it had A/C originally but it was ripped out a long time ago. I’m thinking of going back with an aftermarket A/C system. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks Mike. I definitely will keep you in mind when I run into a problem. Mine has a 273, original block, with A/C and automatic.

That’s definitely on the list, but I forgot to include it. I got the engine harness in the mail last week. Looks pretty simple to install. I also need to get the headlight harness. The dash harness is the one that scares me. Not sure if I’ll take that one on or not.

My father-in-law (James) bought a brand-new 1965 Dodge Coronet and used it as the family car for many years. He hung onto it and paid someone to do some restoration work on it about 20 years ago. He has no mechanical knowledge, but he did have some money and wanted to save the memories of his...
