I just asked for '66 to match the year of the car, honestly didn't know there was a difference. The sample paint dot on the lid looks quite dark, which I am totally fine with. I prefer darker vs lighter. I am sure it'll lighten up when I start to spray it on the light grey primer.
I got the...
Can anyone remember the original apperance of the dash cluster and dash vent panel. The colors may not be the same for all years, 71 to 74. I remember them having the black streaks along with the brown color giving it a wood looking apperance. Is that correct? This one I am working on has the...
Wonder if that was an old Cop car / Taxi?
In So Cal many taxi companies would buy old cop cars. They were cheap, well maintained and could take a beating.
I would see tons of Taxi Cab Diplomats in the 90's that were old "K" vinned police cars with A38 handling packages.
My '79 Chrysler has some version of the painted, sport mirrors. I got used to them, but I would look over my shoulder to double-check blind spots.
Out forward on the fenders is more practical, but NO THANKS!
Should fit snug into the block. I used to use an open end wrench at the ridge to tap the tube into the block. Seems like a 1/2" wrench fit. Put the open end over the tube at the ridge, tap the wrench as close to the tube with a small hammer
Rebuilding my steering column on my 65 Belvedere. I bought the black seal with the clamping cover for the universal housing. The cover looks to be a little thicker and the tabs to seal it to the coupler also appear to be slightly short than the original. I tried clamping before closing the tabs...
I'd sure get it to a shop that could look at it, and check it out. Then get a price quote on fixing it.
I agree, from here it looks like a sleeve would fix it. Number matching block would be worth saving to me.
I'd blend that away. You could measure piston height at skirts plus stroke from top of the bore see how far it comes down at that break. With 383 short stroke I think it does not even stick out the bottom of the bore. With that chip out the skirt may only barely get to that.
The Picture of where the dent is pushed into the front of the cowl is to be flat with the bottom edge to have a rounded edge to it.
I don't see why a previous owner would of dented it in for. That IDK.
I rebuilt a 727 for the first time a couple years ago using Tom Hand's book and a 1968 factory service manual. Lot's of guys on here have a lot of experience and good advice (way more than me).
You can do it!
