Good luck and I hope it works out for you. It's a car that will need small things but if it has good bones and solid factory metal priced within your range then pursue it. Mechanics have to be all in working condition with no sounds from the engine and trans shifting smoothly. A plus would be...

I couldnt agree more. I used to have a Superbird and it would lose to a 1970 Cutlass only to find the Cutlass owner was friends with those that ran the show. I wont give my money to support those kind of shows anymore unless its for charity. Instead of going to a show and sitting for most of the...

There is a company out there that restores the original units. It costs a bit but saves a lot of aggrevation.

Would appreciate opinions or experiences in comparing Hagerty vs Grundy companies. I may suggest at least IMO that Hagerty customer service people have always been friendly and helpful over the phone. I am checking with Grundy and they send me a 13 page proposal to review and sign and even...

This is OER Part No.MF-272. I purchased it new some time ago and installed it in my 1970 Coronet. At that time I took the original unit and sent it out to be restored. When returned I switched out both units and put this one away. No need for it at this point other than a spare. Price is $45.00...

In dry storage for years. Carb is in very good original condition but will need rebuilt before going into any car. Carb is for a 1970 440 C.I. with 727 automatic. It is complete with triangular metal tag. Stamped numbers are clear. Was going to restore and use on a future project but had a...

does anyone have American Collectors? I tried Grundy and they were higher cost than Hagerty.

Gentlemen, for clarity the tag was not added to the carb after the fact. This is the way I purchased the carb many years ago. From what I understand of the seller at that time it had sat in his dry storage for many years also. It's a good honest carb, as you can see it was likely never restored...

A 4738S Carb just got posted on this site.

Thanks Everyone for helpful suggestions. I do have electronic ignition and no doubt it is taking time for those bowls to fill to the proper level. At first you could not see the gas in the small windows. I will check for a strong spark, recheck the chock as it was not peoperly closing (half way...

Thanks, will recheck everything you suggested.

Our family has a 1970 Coronet with a 440 cubic inch that has a Holley Avenger carburetor. Double feed with electric choke. I know the Mopars are stubborn waking up and starting after a sit for a few months during storage. It seems with ours that a cold start when temps are below 60F is a no go...

Reposted for sale - last person never sent payment.

Looking for the original engine and 727 for my 1970 Coronet 500. VIN is WP23N0G129244. We believe engine came out of car and was sold or possibly shelved in Texas years back. Car has 440 now but am curious if original engine is around somewhere.
