I copied these pics from the link above. Handy if you want to match your bumper jack to original, Thanks @ply64post for posting the link in an earlier thread!
Here's what I have. Guessing it's later vintage.
Is the shape at the top of the bumper...
Trunk lid: bought the car Jan 2025, with trunk out of alignment. Previous owner had car for 8 years and never tried to fix alignment. PPO, no contact info.
Right side needs to move 3/8-7/16 to front of car

Up down adjustment is OK

When I bought my 1966 Coronet 2-door sedan, all the windshield trim was off the car.
Does this piece install partly under rear view mirror?
Picture of how it looks installed would be great!
Thanks
7 of my 8 instrument cluster light sockets are good, but 1 socket has a broken black hold down clip, so it does not maintain good contact with rear of cluster.
I think from reading an older post that it's a T10 twist lock socket for a 5/8" hole. Where are you sourcing these sockets?
Went on...
First off, despite the directions in the factory shop manual, you do not have to remove the glovebox hinges or door to install this glovebox liner
Glovebox kit came in two parts, upper and lower, with five screws and no directions. I used 4 screws that were spares from my screw box to assemble...
For a 440 V8 in a 1966 Coronet 21 body, what is correct negative battery cable length?
Classic Industires lists 15 inches, 23 inches, and 25 inches. 15 inches is too short, but which of the other 2 lengths is correct?
Are they measured bolt center at block to center of battery post?
Thanks
I need to remove the hood on my 1966 Coronet, 2-door sedan. To mark for proper reinstall:
Is it enough to scribe the washers of the hood hinge bolts?
Or do I need to scribe the hood mounting surface for set up of hood hinge assembly?
If so, where are places I need to mark? Thanks! Ben

I measured the torsion bar diameter (several times and places along bars) in my 1966 Coronet. Plan 440/727. Already has 8.75 with 3.23 gears, open.
Right side is .965 inch wide
Left side is .910 inch wide.
Engine was slapped together 8 years ago for quick sale to previous owner, so mismatched...
OK, I have to remove the windshield on my 1966 Coronet 2-Door Sedan. I also want to replace the dash pad. I have a new dash pad on order from Classic Industries.
Since I will have the windshield out, is it easier to replace the dash pad with the dash shell out of the car? Or should I leave the...
Suspension Height Question:
If a 66 Coronet is converted to front disc brakes using 1973-1976 A-Body knuckles and calipers, does that change the suspension height? If so, how much in inches lower or higher?
Would A-body alignment specs be required to align the car?
Thanks, Ben
