By the way, here's the culprit!

Deal! How do I arrange the payment/shipment? Jack

My speedometer works, but the odometer quit. I found several others with the same problem, but I did not find a lot of options. It appears there is a nylon gear that is worn, but I could find nothing on how to fix/replace it. The speedometer assembly is zinc die cast and staked to the gauge...

Thank you for this thoughtful reply. Having spent thousands of hours in electrical systems training on cars and having been in the auto industry for 25 years mostly developing electronics and electric vehicle stuff, the basics alluded me on this one. A good ground makes sense, but I never...

OK, please try not to laugh, but I am having electrical issues. I wanted to upgrade the alternator so that I can run electric fans on my 66 Coronet. Everything seemed to be working fine, but then I noticed my accelerator pedal smoking. I have been accused of a lead foot, but not one on fire...

But other than that, what could possibly go wrong? Actually, I suspect up to half of the items you listed could be factors. I'll check the timing, servicing, air - the simple items, but if it is a corroded/cracked engine block (the car basically sat for the better part of 30 years) it could be...

I have owned four Coronets in my lifetime; a 66, 67, 68 and 71, with engines from 318 to 440. Overheating was always something to watch for, especially on the BB's and RB's. I currently have a 66 Coronet/361 with a 22-inch radiator and stock fan with about a 1.5 inch extension (no shroud on...

Thanks for the info. It helps!

It's probably beyond my skill set, given that I don't have a lift, but I need to replace/rebuild my leaking power steering box. I know it attaches to the K frame and looks like a bear to replace, but I may need to go there. I've heard that you have to raise the engine to get it out. I'd just...

Thanks for the information. The one remaining question I have is the nipple on my steering pump. It is the larger half-inch (or maybe 5/8 inch size), but I can work with that. What I can't work with is the nipple itself is loose. It appears to be a press fit into the pump, but it has become...

Yep. I have the larger diameter return line and am finding exact replacements pretty rare. But I did find one in Los Angeles that I ordered. Too bad it is not the more common Saginaw unit with tons of options. My car is pretty darn close to all original and I want to preserve those parts...

I have a 1966 Coronet 500 convertible. It spent about 30 years in a garage, so it's basically in good shape, but oh man, I'm finding lots of surprises. The latest issue is the power steering pump. I believe it is a Federal or TRW pump. Most return lines are a 3/8" format, but mine has a 5/8...
