I replaced my original fuel pump with a Carter on my 1965 361ci Dodge because it was leaking fuel into my crankcase. Both old/new pumps looked identical. The car runs just fine but after a ride today (maybe 50 miles since the replacement) I noticed a weak ticking from the pump at idle when I...

My 65 has 48k miles with an all original 361 2bbl. The weather has been in the mid 80's in New York and the last 2 times I drove it between 10-20 miles (normal water temp reading) and then turned the ignition off for maybe 20 minutes. Trying to restart the car, it almost ran my battery down with...

The battery on my 1965 Coronet is only a few years old and is on a trickle charge when parked. The Alt gauge is right at TDC at idle but any increase of RPM the needle stays to the right (similar to attached pic #1). After checking, the alternator is charging above 15v when the engine revs. Some...

My 1965 Coronet with 48k original miles takes some cranking time to start after sitting for a few days. If I use starting fluid, one crank and it starts. I just replaced the fuel pump (was leaking fuel into my crankcase), replaced the fuel filter and the battery is always on a trickle charge. If...

My 48k original 1965 Coronet, 361 2bbl developed some unexplainable nagging issues over the years: 1- very hard to start after any rest even just overnight; 2- reeked of gasoline when back in the garage after a spin (new gas cap and zero leaks anywhere); 3- My dip stick always seems to read...

Looking for 1 door latch screws but will happily buy a set. No one remanufactures them. Thank you!

Any advice or pics to help me find the clip location so I can carefully remove an original mint door panel on a 1965 48k mile convertible?

All of a sudden, the passenger door on my 48k all original Coronet 500 convertible will not fully shut. I can push it fully closed but as soon as I let go, it opens an inch. There is zero play in the hinges and I have greased the door latch and tried to adjust the body latch receiver (which was...

I am looking for the hose that goes from the reservoir to the washer motor. Auto parts chains don't stock that type of hose and it seems that I have to purchase the entire assembly online. Does anyone have a source or the actual the hose diameter? Thank you!

My 1965 Coronet has been converted from power brakes to manual with a dual reservoir MC. The car still has drum brakes front and rear. There is no proportioning valve installed. Should I have one?

After having my 1965 Coronet converted to a dual reservoir manual master cylinder and the brake pads replaced and the drums cut, my left rear wheel/drum gets extremely hot after a 30 minute ride. Can't even touch the drum! No squeals, no smoke, it's just that I noticed a slight smell which is...

I recently had brake pads and re-surfaced rotors done on my 1965 Coronet 500. Any time I drive for over an hour, I noticed that my rear drivers wheel is hot to touch especially compared to the other wheels. It doesn't pull or squeal and when I jacked it up, the wheel spun freely. Should I be...

My 1965 Coronet 500 convertible has a 361ci 2bbl and a 4 speed- all reflected on it's build sheet. How do I find out how rare it is? Thanks!

Looking for guidance to remove and replace convertible weatherstripping. I have the replacement kit. Can a decent "backyard mechanic" handle the job?

I just received my rebuilt kelsey hayes c-64 booster for my 1965 Coronet 500. After installing, bench bleeding the mc and bleeding the brakes, what used to be a simple touch of my foot to stop the car now requires me to push incredibly hard to get it to stop. I've checked the vacuum line and the...

My brakes lock up when the engine is running and free up when it is off. Research leans towards needing a new brake booster. Is this correct? The master, brake cylinders and lines are all less than 2 years old. I can NOT find a brake booster anywhere online. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
