Hi not to interrupt , we have the same issue with our '66 . Where are you sourcing your replacement throttle cable from ? . Thanks

When we brought home the '66 Coronet from my father in laws house ,my wife thought it was perfect . After almost 5 years of continual repairs , I realized ,there was only a pair of mufflers to replace and some speakers to hide . We have a few boats that will keep me occupied for eternity

Thank you both . The diagram isn't clear in regards to the alternator wiring or am I missing the obvious ?

When reinstalling the alternator on our ‘66 Coronet I “ assumed “ the black wire was a ground . There were three wires . A dark blue that I plugged into the “ field “ spade connector. The thick red ten gauge went from the threaded post directly to the battery . In hindsight I should have...

We received these from our friend in the Air Force. This is segment of the 30mm rifle barrel from an A10 Warthog !

Someone had a worse day than I did

They gave me this on my first day on the job ! Should be fun !

I almost filled the company truck with this at $9.99 a gallon !

The existing harmonic balancer has a diameter of 7 3/16"

Guess what ? It can worse ! I very carefully reinstalled the oil pan with new gaskets and started reinstalling the brand new shiny timing cover . Sure is pretty . Yeah , so much for that illusion . Seems the cast in timing marks in the replacement cover won’t let the harmonic balance be fully...

Two weeks ago I finished welding new floorboards in the Coronet . I thought I was finished after undercoating , installing a layer of sound proofing and new carpet . When I started up the car to drive it down off the ramps , the throttle cable snapped . I made a throttle cable from an old...

Makes complete sense . Thank you

The aluminum timing chain cover leaked coolant from corrosion after only 58 years . The gasket kit came with a felt seal . Does this get used on a ‘66 Polyhead 318 ? There want one when I removed the cover . Thank you What types of sealant are we using ? Thank you

We've been with Hagerty for quite some time . We have not been asked to provide any kind of documentation .

Sat 66 , I don't know your real name , in the picture of the timing chain you have posted ,is that how tight the chain is supposed to be ?

Thank you . This is exactly the information I was hoping for . The cast timing marks don't create a clearance issue ? I have the bolt on timing bracket . The timing cover is cast '66 ! You would think things would last !

The reason I ask is ,I see no tensioners . Only the chain and sprockets . Supposedly the motor has less than 10,000 miles since a complete rebuild . I have no issues spending whatever is needed to keep this engine on the road .

Due to the serious leaking of coolant from what I believe was between the block and the timing cover,I removed The water pump and timing cover . The coolant passages from the block appear to have been eaten away . I’m familiar with dissimilar metals corroding . The motor in question is a 318...

66 Sat , I had incorrectly assumed the pair of bores on either side of the block were from the heads . Your photo shows they are in the block itself . I'm now even more convinced the leak is from the passenger side coolant passage . Is there a brand preferances for the gaskets ? I'm of the...
