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...
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...
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
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...
While putting new carpeting in , I noticed the rear courtesy lights were on even with both doors closed .
I use the term courtesy lights as they are in the back seat . Our ‘66 Coronet is a convertible .
The drivers door switch flickers and the light get dimmer when you push it on . Even when...
I finally finished the replacement floor pans . Only problem was when I fired it up to take the car off the ramps coolant ran “ quite freely “ from where it appears to be behind the timing chain ?
As far as I can see , it is not coming from the water pump or the intake manifold . I wiped both...
While underneath our ‘66 Coronet which has a 727 transmission, I noticed the rear support bushing is mushy and broken .
Who do I order one from ? Can I just raise the tail of the tranny just a small amount to pull and replace ? Thanks
I'm in the begining phase of adding an aftermarket under dash stereo . Preferably I would like to tap into the fuse block . I'd really like a clean factory look .
Is there add on fuse assembly one could purchase ? I'm not of opinion that it is ok to cut into the factory wiring .
I looked here...
I'm not quite sure how many of you fine folks actually laid out a plan when you arranged your garage .
As for my self ,I've just sort of made room for new tools and bigger pieces of equipment .
I'm about to haul ablsolutely everything out of the garage and barn and start over .
If you were to...
I've notice the coolant gradually disappears from the radiator after drivng for several hours .
When parked there is never any signs of leakage on the floor .
At this point, I'm thinking the seal on the water pump is leaking once the engine warms up .
It the water pump from a 318 polyhead...
Most tv shows are fairly boring , to me anyway .
I took a chance on the series ,Dark Winds . Unusual story line , unusual cast of characters . Thoroughly enjoyable .
How ever , the part I like best are the cars in the background . The storyline takes place in the early 70's onan indian...

I'm fairly familiar with GM's Canadian brands and models.
I've never heard of the Fargo before .
Heck ,as clean as it is ,I'd buy it just to see the DMV's expression when I apply for plates and a title
After way too long of a winter ,I decided to pull the '66 Coronet out of it's winter storage.
I was surprised and horrified to find mice had chewed a hole in the convertible top fabric.
To say the Mrs. wasn't please was an understatement.
How does one go about finding a reputable shop to get...
I'm about to flush the coolant out of the '66 Polyhead . A very long time ago , late '70's was the last time I remember doing something like this .
I cut the heater hose coming from the thermostat ,going into the firewall . Is this still where we cut to install the "T" ?
