Finally some time to work on the Dodge. Just got done tearing apart the front passenger side. All original looking equipment. The shock still has undercoating on it and is still good.

Update, I saw this good deal on a power disc brake conversion kit at Jegs and ordered it. Then they sent me a manual kit instead. I called them up and they said the kit I ordered didn't exist ad to get the rest of the stuff I need will be $340.00 more. After doing rounds with their customer...

Nice to hear from some local folk. Not many old mopars around here in Oldsmobile country. Good news, I got her running. I ended up getting a hei conversion unit and she came to life. It runs great. Not even one exhaust leak. I bypassed the gas tank and used a garden tractor tank, it sucks the...

Thanks for all your great feedback and Ideas. I did find 2 full sets of points online for $15.00, so I have those coming. The single set that's on it now don't have any voltage going through them. They are new and I did clean them up with emery paper with no luck. I do want to keep it as...

Ah, im missing a set of points. Now its making sense. I cant find any points local, but they are cheap enough on line. Do any of you guys have any knowledge of setting the points in a dual point distributor? Is it a PITA, or should I drop a couple hundred and convert it to Electronic Ignition...

This is what I found in the cap. Do they both go on the post, or does the ground looking wire bolt to the base, or neither? Is there an easy way to drain the gas tank, or just pull it??

Its also missing the power steering pump, hoses and brackets. That should be fun to find. it

I found the convert boot. It had shrunk about 6". I laid it out in the sun, oiled it up good and it stretched back out again. I've been trying to buy this thing for the past 20 years. The owners have fallen into poor health and decided they should let it go. I went down to their yard sale to...

Thanks again guys. I wont be naming her Christine for sure. I did cut my ankle yesterday, not working on it but doing plumbing. Heres a pic of the title. Kinda weird it has the number 442 in it.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I got to clean it up some today. I had to shoot some wd-40 into the console lock to get it open and found this card and the key to the console.

Hi guys, I just picked up a 1964 Dodge Polara 500 convertible from my neighbor. It is a one owner car that has not been on the road since 1973. The good is its a one owner 54k mile, original paint (rough) survivor with the original 383 that was rebuilt in 1993. Floor and trunk pans are solid...
