    1966 Belvedere II shifter question

    440 4 Speed, Are you sure that Ronnie Sox used an Inland shifter? Didn't the 65's come with Hurst? I would be surprised that he didn't continue with the 65 Shifter.

    1966 Belvedere II shifter question

    If you can find a nice one for your car, buy it and put it away. Do not use it! They are so sloppy they are hard on your transmission. It will be hard on your engine too, if you miss a shift. Good for originality, Bad for use. Yes, this is just my opinion from 56 years with my 66 Belvedere.

    64 Shifter handle?

    WTB manual tailgate window unit

    Have you made a ground wire between the gate and body? Your motor may still be good, but the gate grounds through the hinges, and they get dirty. Give it a try, it just might save you from taking it apart. Rick

    1968 dodge coronet magnum 500 wheel?

    The 14x7's were Ford wheels and require the spacer to clear the control arm lip. The 14x6 should not need a spacer. Rick

    The Official Rear Main Seal replacement thread

    Before you go to the trouble of replacing the seal, make sure that you are using a good PCV valve and a vented filler cap. Getting rid of the flat oil fill cap on my MP aluminum covers has solved the problem in both my 383 & 440 after the replacement of both did not slow it down. I agree with...
