My reservoir started leaking and so I decided to take it off and try to reseal it. I noticed there was a snap ring in several pieces scattered on the bottom of the reservoir. The remainder of the snap ring was still holding the flow control plug in place. In order to remove these bits and...

Thank you for all your replies! I will look for a place that will be able to recover the seats with out costing the world. Legendary has the covers but it'll take 32 weeks and I also need the foam. Ill let you know when the seats are in!

Dear all, I am in need for some info on the original seat tracks for my 67 Coronet. The car did not come with the seats but with some aftermarket bucket seats (high back racer type stuff) that do not really fit the car. I happened to come across two bucket seats out of a 1966 chrysler town and...

Thanks for your response! Yeah I have the original wiring diagrams from the service manual, the EZ wiring harness, and the one for installing the MSD distributor. Redoing the body ground was the first one on the list for this weekend. Will start measuring and following the wires related to the...

I already did that, found quite the mess. I already knew the cancel cams were broken off. This was the last push to me getting a new switch. However, the fact that it also happens sometimes when the brake/interior lights are turned on leads me to believe the problem is more general. BTW I also...

The car came with an aftermarket wiring harness (EZ wiring). However due to the way they installed it I have to pull the dash to get access to many of the wires/connections that I fear being the culprit.

I would expect flickering or the lights not working entirely if the grounds are bad. The stutter only occurs when a circuit is closed. Once one of those circuits is closed, the car operates like normal again. Nevertheless, I plan to check the grounds on the tail light and of the ignition system...

I have tested a couple of things with a new battery in place. Ign switch was good. Coil had power with ign switch on. However, during testing the whole turn indicator part stopped working for some reason. I have ordered a new relay and switch. Will continue searching for the problem once I have...

Hey Everyone, Currently the new season is almost starting and after working on the car all winter I only have one electrical issue left that drives me absolutely nuts. I've cleaned up a bunch of grounds and are at a loss atm. I hope the more experienced B body owner can help me out/ or give me...

Hey All, I am currently in the process of replacing the flexible brake hose on my front disc brakes because they were worn bad. While trying to undo the fittings, which were already bad, they got even more messed up. It was a pain to get them off. I now have to put on new fittings, cut and...

I will be at the car tomorrow and I will shoot you a picture! The manual does not state any tunability of the vacuum advance. I am afraid it is not adjustable.

100% True! Wrote it down wrong, my bad!

Well, this weekend I played around with carb tuning and timing. I set the timing at 7 degrees at idle and made sure that the timing with full mechanical advance does not exceed 34-36 degs. The car now runs much stronger at idle. I did notice that the car does run a bit hotter right now, not...

Yeah this weekend I am going to retard the timing a few degrees and retune the carb for the new setting with a vacuum gauge. I will let you know what comes out of this. I want to take the car on a holiday and therefore I wanted to be entirely sure that I do not ruin the engine with bad timing...

I did try that and the sound almost went away at 30 mph (or in other words became much less noticable). However, at idle and pulling away the car did perform much worse.
