I have a couple specific question that I’m hoping someone can help me with that has first hand experience. 1966 Coronet, manual steering, column shift. The car shifts through and actuates all the gear correctly, however the park position has no lock or detent position. What I mean is this: On...

I need some advice on what to put in the secondaries. This is a cruise car I did for my Dad, just a 1 day a week driver. So far the car is near perfect with the exception of being pig-rich once you get into the secondaries. Here are the details: 383, +.040, TRW flattops, .038 quench. 915 1.74...

Hoping someone might be able to offer some ideas. My problem appears to be opposite of what usually happens. The car is a 66 with a brake system that I did not install. The problem I am having is the rear bias is too light. On a jack in drive I can barely stop the rear wheels from just the...

I just need opinions. I already spoke to Hughes tech and its funny how the tech guy is on the fence between these 2 just like I am. Here are the car details, these things are not changing other then maybe headers eventually. I just need to replace a convertor that is causing me trouble. 1966 B...

Hello all. I’ve read hundreds of threads here on BB’s and no one has had my exact issue. I’ve thrown thousands of dollars at this problem (outlined below) and have not gained a penny’s worth of improvement. ANY ideas and welcome. Thank you in advance and sorry for the long read. 1966 Coronet...

I’ve seen a few people bring this up lately and felt I could contribute what I have done many times over a half dozen cars or so. The the 67/68 changeover from the large register to the small register hubcaps have always been a problem for us early B-Body guys trying to run 15” and/or wider rims...

Hoping for some help from someone who has had this same issue... It's very strange. I'm trying to chase down a 38-40mph hum/vibration that occurs only at float/cruise, When the drive line is loaded either accelerating or decelerating (it has 3.73's) there is no noise. So far I have had the...

I have 2 questions to see if advancing my cam is doable and worth while. Here is all the dirty details of the combo that I put together in the middle of last summer. It’s in a 1966 Coronet, just a cruise car, never will see the strip or above 75mph. I think I picked pretty well as far as...

I have a 1966 Coronet and have the opportunity to pick parts off a 1973 Charger. Will the front disc brakes bolt right on? I plan to pop both ball joints and the tie rod and take everything outboard of that. - I’m running 15” wheels (so 14” clearance is not a problem) - It doesn’t matter to me...

The 1966 Coronet had a manual front Wilwood kit on it when I bought it. I have 2 questions... Is there any pad option that will quiet these brakes down? I looked at the pads, they are numbers as their most "street" pad yet these things, when cold, squeek/eek/creek SO loud when just barely...

In case it might help anyone else, here is the hidden radio route I went with for my Dads 1966 Coronet that is originally radio delete. This is a boat, dash mount radio that has a wired remote included, bought on Amazon. I built a custom plate with 2- 3.5” speakers and mounted it under the...

I have an odd problem with a new MP distributor. It’s in a fresh 383 and is actually running well, but I spotted a possible problem. Unfortunately the distributor is the current model that is built by Pro-from/ China/ whatever. After the initial break-in of the motor, I pulled and opened up...

I have a brand new out of the box AVS2 that I installed on my 383. After starting the engine and breaking in the cam, I needed to set up the throttle cable and throttle pressure. When doing this I alway take off the clip and short rod from the accelerator pump to avoid pumping the engine full...

Going to be starting a fresh engine and fresh transmission at the same time. Don’t want to have to do 10 things all at once when it first lights off... -Fresh rebuilt 727 with little more then a pint of assembly drippings in it. -New reman (shipped dry) 10.75” converter from Patty (his...

Can anyone confirm that there is enough space/length on the TTI H pipe to shorten the end 6” to accommodate a 20” muffler? I plan to order the whole kit via Chicago Connection sans mufflers. The setup will be 1966 Coronet 383 using a pair of late 60’s HP manifolds. 2.5” head pipes, H pipe...

I’m in the process of swapping a 383 into my 1966 Coronet /6. The car is a “WE21” vin, so no side chrome at all. I have the plain “coronet” emblem on the fenders, however I believe they might currently be in the wrong location. I think ‘440’ fenders (with chrome trim holes welded shut) were...

Looking to buy a 727 BB dipstick tube only or tube and stick pair. Only interested in factory style, driver quality is fine. Also need some small parts for kickdown linkage. 1966 3-piece style. I need a clip and 1 rod end: -I need the clip for the front of the bottom ball/rod joint. -I need...

Guys please tell me its NOT me. I have an "old time" Mopar guy insisting this will NEVER work... He says the motor mount bosses are completely in a different place and do not match the k frame... The plan: 1966 Coronet, currently a Slant6. Incoming engine is a 1965 383 (A383 HP stamping) I have...

I finally got decent core parts to get started on a /6 to 383 swap in my Dad’s 1966 Coronet post. He’s the ‘customer’ so I have to make it what he wants. Just like a lot of us here (I assume) we’ve all over-cammed engines and also put together great parts, but parts that don’t work well...
