    I was going after a high idle in neutral/ park issue this weekend and noticed that when throttle is applied that my choke linkage will suck down into the intake and with a quick enough snap of the throttle will actually set my screw on one of the choke butterfly cam points. Does the choke have...

    turn signal bulb replacement

    67 coronet with the hood mounted turn signal indicators. Right now one works fine, other is dead. Swapped housings and confirmed that the bulb is dead. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the bulb out without damaging the lens or the housing.

    Rear spring length

    Is there a difference between springs for a 2 door or 4 door coronet? I have a 67 4 door 500 with 383. I've already recieved a quote from Laura at ESPO but from what I gather she is good at customer service, not so much at vehicle specifics. I just want to make sure before spending $400+

    Lug studs spun

    I had to have my hub replaced a few years ago, which included new studs. Something about the originals needed top be cut. Anyway I had to take the tire off the car and all 5 studs just spun in the hub. Finally worked it off and the shop I had do the work also installed the wrong studs to begin...

    Thinking about getting new leaf springs soon

    1967 Coronet 500SE The rear springs are sagging BAD with any weight in the rear. I have pretty much decided to go with the Springs-N-Things works kit, but was curious between the 5 and 6 leaf kits. It appears that what is on the car currently are 3 leaf packs. Im not sure if I am counting them...

    I am having a problem with the rear suspension bottoming out really easy going over speed bumps or even mild intersections. Car has new shocks all around and I feel the ride height is just too low from sagging springs. I have had a couple suggestions of what to do but those who gave the...

    Gage reads overheat when headlights are on

    I'm not sure if this is a new problem or not because I didn't link the two conditions until now. When I turn on my headlights the temp gage will rise very quickly showing almost a catastrophic overheat. I will turn off the headlights in the same trip without pulling over our changing anything...

    I feel like its time to change the chain....

    What kind of timing chains are recommended here? I have found decent priced single roller, double roller, straight cut timing gear sets, among other styles. Im not sure how I would be able to deal with the sound of the gear set ones.

    are there any benefits to running a hotter thermostat?

    I picked up a new 180* stat from the part slingers earlier this week because they had told me that the oem spec was 195 and I wanted cooler than that, an195 just seemed really high for an older car. Turns out it had a 160 in there to begin with and now the gage shows right in middle of the long...

    I have a feeling my heater system isn't exactly stock

    So today started off pretty crummy. Car doesnt start, hook up to the charger and find out battery has a failed cell so I ride the GS650 to work and spit out $80 for a new battery. Get home and put it in and head out to target. Halfway there the temp gauge starts rising so I turn up the heater...

    This weekend while I was trying to figure out the problem with my radio(I curse the monkey that did the wiring 'fixes' back there) the little white box that holds all the a/c and heater control goodies broke apart. I was looking through the web for the replacement and I see a lot on ebay and...

    rattle from engine under higher load.

    I have the 383 2bbl w/727 in my Coronet. I can drive around all day and not hear this sound, but once I hit some hills or heavy acceleration I have a loud rattle sound coming from the engine area, another way to describe it may be a metallic version of when you are drinking though a straw and...

    a couple questions(dust caps and shocks)

    I need to know what the correct dust cap for the front wheel bearing is on a 67 Coronet 500 4-door. I did my brakes (drum) last week and I guess the old one was pretty worn and I seem to have lost it somewhere in the last 60 miles. Next, I have been looking to upgrade some of my old saggy...
