My work in progress 383 equipped wagon. The fender is a replacement - the original was badly damaged thanks to a PO running it across a garage door opening.

Very nice work...especially given the distance between you and spare parts! My 70 Coronet 383 car is a March build and uses the same compressor to condenser hose.

Any time I see lots of individual wires seemingly running nowhere, I get nervous. Just what did Bubba do to get the car to run? And, just how long until something shorts and starts a fire. For the asking price, the car should be a whole lot tidier.

We lived a half block from where my father worked. In between was a Sohio gas station where, at 16, I got my first real job - after caddying at the local country club for a few years in the summer - as a "Petroleum Installation Engineer"...I pumped gas. Soon, I learned to do light mechanical...

I had one many moons ago, same color, same top. Welcome to FBBO!

Got on the wait list at a local shop in June. Dropped the car off just before Thanksgiving. We met last week to walk thru the list of to-do's. I should have it back by early May.

I'm in northeast Ohio, having moved here from Pennsylvania as a kid when my dad took a new job just outside of Cleveland. I've gone from a one bed apartment to an 1847 built four bed home with lots of character and lots of repair bills. I read in earlier posts of sulfur water and this house had...

JEEP = Just Empty Every Pocket. Been there, done that. But I still own one and love it. Every June, several thousand folks gather in Butler, PA where the first Jeeps were built in 1941. The local group owns a large tract of land where trails have been cut and next to that is held a large show...

I bought an ultra low mile 75 many years ago that burned a quart of oil every hundred miles. An old time mechanic told me that the rings weren't seated properly and that he had a fix - a can of Bon Ami scouring powder. We started the engine and ran it up to around 1500 rpms and he slowly poured...

I have one in my 70 Coronet wagon. The only trimming I needed to do was for the dimmer switch.

Welcome from northeast Ohio...I'm liking that Charger!

Well dang, it seems videos cannot be posted here. I get it, space restraints. Anyway, if you're a FB user, the video is posted on the 1970 Dodge Coronet Club page under my name - Jim Lape.

I posted this video on FB of the engine running and the noise it's making. To answer a few questions - I checked the flexplate and it's not cracked or loose, the fuel pump is new and the noise increases with engine rpms. Give it a listen and feel free to comment.

Thanks gang...I hear you...I need to get the engine out of the car. I have a cherry picker and a fairly full compliment of tools so I will look into what it'll take to remove the engine. My expertise is with six cylinder Continental Red Seal engines in older Kaisers and removing them seems much...

I'm trying to find someone in northern Ohio willing to tackle the rebuild on my 70 Coronet wagon's 383. It's developed a rod knock so while it still runs, it's not happy. The only issue is that I do not have the equipment to pull the engine which is why I'm running into trouble finding a shop...

So if I let the car - a Coronet wagon with a two barrel engine - sit for a couple days and pull the dipstick, one side shows the oil as black while it shows as clean on the other. The oil was recently changed and has less than 300 miles on it. One thing to note, the engine runs but had...

Yes...found it on ebay. It came with the correct 90 degree base, gasket and chrome bezel and nut. Matched my old one that was in rough shape.

Won’t sound like much, but I installed the new antenna on the 70 Coronet wagon. As slow as things have been moving with this car, I’ll take any movement forward I can get!
