    Power Steering Box Rebuild

    I am asking if there is a shop on the east coast that does complete power steering box rebuilds and upgrades for a 1969 Coronet. I am aware of Firm Feel in Washington. Wondering if there is anyone closer to New Hampshire? Thanks

    Question about a cam

    I pulled this flat tappet cam from a 440. The engine has stock intake, stock heads and stock exhaust manifolds. Looking for help identifying the manufacturer, specs, etc. What might have been the intended goal using this profile? Appreciate any feedback.

    Cam & Rockers

    This is probably an amateur question. I have a 1969 440. I have only had this car for 6 years. I don't know who or when the motor was rebuilt. There is a light tapping especially when cold. There is also a little oil seepage past the factory valve covers. I removed the valve covers to...

    Center Console Lighting

    I've got the harness installed. The long orange wire goes to the back of the fuse box on the output side of the instrument panel fuse. You need this to light up the gear indicator in the console. All lights now work as they should. Moparmarks, it looks like you may have spliced into the...

    Center Console Lighting

    Hey guys, The center console harness arrived from Tommy (Parts Hound) this morning. Now that I see it I have a better understanding of how it fits in. Plus, Tommy tags all the ends with notes. Appreciate everyone's suggestions.

    Center Console Lighting

    I got this from a guy who works on Chargers At the console you should have a wiring harness that has three lamps and a connection for the back up switch. This harness has a 6 pin male connector. The six pins terminate as follows: The shifter light has an orange wire (E2-180, where the 0 stands...

    Center Console Lighting

    I got a call back from Tommy last night. He is sending me the cables I need along with instructions on where to make the connections. He said the cable runs underneath the driver's seat, under the sill plate, past the parking brake and up into the dash. Eventually ending at the fuse box. He is...

    Center Console Lighting

    I put in a call to Tommy. He is under the weather right now. Even if I get the cable I am still uncertain where it will connect. This is what I am seeing behind the kick panel.

    Center Console Lighting

    Hey all, Looking into why there are no lights at the center console on a 1969 Coronet. I removed the shifter cover and discovered there is no harness coming into the console. There is the short harness with the two interior light sockets and the socket for the shift indicator lamp. The...

    Erratic Speedometer

    On my 69 Coronet the speedometer needle bounces like crazy when car is moving 0 -20 mph. 20 - 65 mph the needle is steady an accurate. Above 65 mph the needle starts bouncing again. I inspected the drive gear. Looked good. I had an instrumentation shop in Virginia check the speedometer head...
