No way to be certain without seeing the fender tag, but I'd bet that "WW" or Polar White is the actual color. Lighting in those tents, camera settings, computer monitor settings can all make colors look different than we expect.

The number for the NAPA seal is 6601000.

The ... ahem...harbor freight...ahem... o-ring assortment has a size that worked on my '64 heater valve.

When testing dwell on my 318 poly, the dwell does not change from the 30* spec when revved to 1500rpm with the vacuum advance disconnected. The dwell does drop, from 30* to 20*, when revved to 1500 with the vacuum advance hooked up. The factory manual simply states that the dwell should...

Joe Suchy has control cables.

Check here http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/techstuff.html About a third of the way through this page there is a mention of a different five-button controller that can be adapted to work, and links to scans of a magazine article detailing how to fix original controllers...

A while back I posted about stainless side trim and whether the recessed area was originally painted. http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/showthread.php?57526-64-Polara-trim-should-it-be-painted The takeaway was that yes, the recess was originally painted, and could have been keyed...

I ordered a set of springs from General about a year ago for my '64 four door. Originals were five leaf but all I could find from General or anyone else was six leaf. They bolted right up, no problems. Fit and finish were fine. Smooth transaction, quick shipping. Seems like I heard that...

I'm curious what problem you've had with Restoration Specialties' windlace? I need to replace some too, and would like an idea what sort of problems I might enconter.

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like we've conclusively determined that the wide side moulding was painted from the factory. Polara 500s had machine-turned trim while regular Polaras had painted trim. I'd like to know what determined what color the trim was painted (was it a special...

Can anyone tell me if the 1.5" wide side trim should be painted down the middle? There are just as many web pics showing painted trim as showing not painted. If it should be painted, what would be an appropriate paint to use on the chrome? Does the color of the painted trim depend on the...

Hello. Looking for a driver's side door lock from '62, '63, or '64. Key not necessary but needs to have all parts. Thanks.

I REALLY appreciate that. Thanks.

Just a bump to see if anyone can take a quick measurement...
