Does the car currently have an engine or transmission that goes with it ?

I checked 2 of my pretty much untouched original 68 Coronet parts cars and they both have the rivets. They've got to be factory.

j-c-c-62 it is hard to see in the photo but I do have about 1/2" of thread protruding from the top of the nut. I do like your idea with the stover nut, it even resembles the factory nut more. Only reason I put the bolt up through the K frame is because it appears from looking at my parts cars...

I recently got a replacement 1969 B body idler arm from PST. New arm is unlike the original in that it comes with a nylon lock nut to hold the bolt to the K frame. My question is, when I go to tighten the lock nut on the bolt, it's either loose or so tight you can barely move it. What am I...

Thanks for the info. !!

Thanks khryslerkid, what I am seeing there appears to be the upper bearing near the column shift gearshift indicator. I am looking for the bearing on the lower end of the column.

Hi Folks, Does anyone offer a replacement lower steering column bearing for 1968-69 cars with automatic on the column shift ? All I am seeing form Classic Industries and others indicate the only one available is for a manual trans or auto floor shift car. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance, Rob

Ok, so I am into a 1969 Coronet front suspension rebuild. K frame painted and installed back in the car. LCA's rebuilt and ready for installation to K member. Upper control arms are just hanging-no upper arm bump stops installed yet, no shocks. I plan to install the LCA's, strut rods, and then...

Can someone please inform me of the correct paint color/finish of a 1969 power steering box? I'm pretty certain it is NOT bright blue like the one I just removed lol. Thanks, Rob

Ok, I am in need of some help here. I am working on a '69 Super Bee that was sent to me with no fuel lines. Question is, what determines if the car gets a vapor return line? Engine size, A/C, California emissions??? Thanks, Rob

Thank you all for the info!! Very helpful. Rob

Agreed on the gasket 493 Mike...I was just test fitting

Ok guys and girls. Here I have a factory 68-69 4bbl intake (casting # 2806301). Here is my issue, while dry fitting a Carter AVS to this intake, I noticed that there doesn't seem to be enough clearance for the factory choke stove. The (choke side) of the Carter appears to sit and cover the...

I would grab it. There are only so many left out there. The trans is worth that as a core. Even if the engine is junk you can still probably salvage the intake, oil pan, some brackets etc.

Hi, is the bottom catch a piece of stamped wire or is it a catch like davek posted? Check spring tension if its the catch. Also davek is correct, you can adjust it or shim if necessary.
