My Cobra's cracked in the same way. Purchase date was 2 years. Found the date code that they were 6 years old before I bought them.:mad:

Allot.Some of the old cars aren't very areo. Great post ! Agree The older they get the louder. I just took off 10 year old tires that look like new but were hard as rocks. I'll say !. When I take the old 63 out it shakes, rattles,squeaks,bumps and moans. I can relate.. Radio ? What radio ?:lol:

Always a good idea. You cured the stuffy nose with the change to a 4bbl. Now you need to get the expelled gasses out. It's nice to know what you plan to do with the car. Driver ? racer ? stop light bandit ? Glad to see you included not trying to build a race car just a fun driver.The more we...

I once bought the cheapest battery I could find at Auto Zone for about $79. It was their Valuecraft,a type 24. The warranty was 1 year. 6 years later the damn thing would not die. I hated to trade it as a core as it load tested perfect. Thinking that 6 years I was on borrowed time I replaced it.

I have seen this. Fluid crawls up the splines and exits behind the nut and washer or nut threads. Little silicone on splines and threads will stop this. I prefer a leather seal over the rubber ones. These are just thoughts.

Yes ^^^^ a 741 and 489 use a different seal than the 742

I agree with taller tires.Going from a 205/60 14 to a 225/7015 will give you a 1 1/2'' Every tire manufacture varies. It doesn't sound like much but every bit helps. Many tire companies have charts/specs for aspect ratios. My 63 has 75 series tires but I'm going for the early 60's look. 27''...

All the above statements. Like diesel_lv I had my 67 Dart done,little too dark for my liking. See tints and compare before committing. Don't let them seam the rear window on either car. It makes it easier for the installer but looks like crap.

A 62 is on my bucket list. Love it !

Did a 67 Dart. At 120ish the car would "Float". Not very aerodynamic at those speeds. Cool video I would agree !

I too miss any info until it's too late. That and the RT66 fun run. I'll make it some day.

The Demon in the photo above is a guy from Vegas.Has been doing the Kingman race for many years. They always have a big turn out. Martin Swanty Chrysler is a sponsor.The track is set up in front of the dealership. Across the street is a large NAPA store. Never raced but have spectated. Fun...

I believe it can be done.Many convert the tail to slip joint and remove the rear pump to the later 727 parts. With that understanding something like Gear Vendors may have the answer.

Copper owns several tire brands, all good in my opinion. Over the years I have run the Cooper Cobra's along with Mastercraft. I now use their Hercules Ironman series for the last few years on 3 cars and my 1 ton.

255/70/15 on a 65 Belvedere 7'' rim 4'' backspace.

Common theme for the 62-65's

Dang if I know. So you have used the volt meter on the battery while the engine is running and you have no more than 12.6 volts? Should be at least 13.8 volts to charge the battery.So field side has nothing when the key is on.Is there voltage at the IGN side ? that is the spade terminal that...

Yes. Looking at the photos it IS a single field pre 1970 alternator. Single Belt FVP 7000112 ? Is that the one you are looking at ? Try to get the single pulley if you can. Possible with a 2 belt pulley you may have to do some shimming for belt alignment.

^^^^^^^^Worked for a trucking company late 70 and thru the 80's. 12 tractors,24 trailers.Other than steering tires they only ran re-caps.A practice for years. Still using bias 10/20 split rims tube type tires. On the average we had as much as 10 flats weekly along with other failures.We did...

Agree. I waited 12 years to replace the tires on my old 88 Ram. I drive it less than 1000 miles a year.Mostly local hauling. Tread was like new but cracks were starting everywhere. Dang things were hard as rocks and tough to get off the rims. $800 later and the 1 ton rode like a late model car...
