    64 Polara 50th anniversary edition

    I am looking at a 1964 claimed 50th anniversary Polara 500 with a 426 street wedge, auto. Any idea about how many of these would have been made? I see lots of posts about 1964 426 street wedge with 4 speed, but nothing about this one. Owner has a Chyrsler Registry letter indicating (screen...

    Want to take out the air shocks - where to get stock HD shocks for my 67 R/T?

    67 R/T I recently bought had air shocks for some reason. Take out all the air, stance looks fine. Where would be the best place to get some stock-type rear HD shocks?

    Factory tach runs too high off calibration

    So I got the factory tach on my 67 R/T to work, was a couple of loose/cut wires. But it runs off calibration, seems like about 30-35% to high. Not just a constant offset. 700 rpm idle measured by a timing light was ~1000 on the console tach. What I perceived as 3000rpm read about 4000, and...

    Confirming the ported vs. manifold vacuum debate

    So I think have read or watched 20+ articles on the ported vs. manifold distribution advance topic. In conclusion for a 67 R/T 440 4sp with a very mild hop-up to the engine (aluminum intake, 1-up cam, Edel Performer, stock heads 10:1, stock manifolds, etc.) 1 - earlier AFBs including the...

    14" Steelies and poverty caps for a 67 R/T

    Want to return my recently purchased 67 R/T to factory style wheels and poverty caps. Can't find any aftermarket 14" steelies. Can find 15" everywhere. Any 14" and the 67 poverty caps available anywhere? Or so I have to peruse ebay all the time?

    Holley carb identification

    So now that all you smart folks have got me on the right track, I will be getting rid of my Holley. The numbers on the air horn were VERY faint and seemed slightly double stamped, but under a magnifier was 76750-2 and 3325. Probably means it is a 750 double pumper, but I can't find this model...

    Some carb and air cleaner mystery solved, kind of

    So for the ones following my threads about the no snorkle air cleaner.......went to replace the Holley with a Edel 1411 AFB Performer. Found this: - the really nice Mopar aftermarket intake PN 5153235 is 2" higher than stock - that necessitated a recessed air cleaner base so as not to hit the...

    More on the 67 R/T no snorkle air cleaner

    So what I have found in a few places, is that the oil breather nipple on the side of the air cleaner identifies this as a 68 piece that had the mandatory California "Cleaner Air System" or CAS. Or a 67 that had the CAS that was an option. --> is there any way to tell from the fender tag if...

    More carb confusion Edel Performer vs. AVS2

    So the original carb I still have for my 67 R/T is an AFB with a 4 7/8" air horn. Currently has a Holley double pumper that has to go, but want to get something new vs. rebuild the AFB which I probably would screw up. Can't get a straight answer from the tech guys at either Jegs or Summit. Is...

    Carb for my 67 440HP R/T

    So this is related to the air cleaner couple of threads. The Holley has to go. I can get an AVS 750 with electric choke, which was recommended by one reader. Jegs has them in stock for $459. There are multiple "competition AFB 625cfm" on eBay, they supposedly have a 5 7/8 air horn also. Also...

    67 R/T 440 Air cleaner saga continues

    Thanks folks for all your comments on my previous post about the no snorkle air cleaner. I am fairly new to Mopars, so don't know all the details, yet. For example I didn't realize the Holley on the car has a 5 1/8" air horn. Normal AFBs are 4 7/8". So the person who suggested this was an...

    1967 R/T Tachometer diagnosis

    Just got a 1967 restored R/T. Everything works electrically except the clock (I know how/where to fix), the backup lights (again, know how to fix) and the factory tack on the console, which is dead. Can anyone direct me to some kind of diagnosis information article about the tach?

    67 R/T 440 air cleaner

    Sold the 66 Hemi tribute and got a 67 R/T. Much easier to drive and enjoy. Original/rebuilt 440 and 4spd. I am cool with the E-brock intake, but previous owner swapped the AFB for a Holley. Ugh. Air cleaner has no snorkels. I have seen other claimed original 67 R/Ts with both single and...

    66 Coronet Headlight Gymnastics

    When brights are turned on, all 4 headlights are great. When I turn off the brights switch, only the driver's side outer headlight is on. Can't figure out out the right outer light, which should be on both normally and with brights, is only on with the brights? Any ideas?

    What's this thing and what does it do?

    Found this guy under the battery tray while I was cleaning the engine bay. I know it part of the ignition, but what's it's function and is it adjustable in some way?

    How much do headers help a stock hemi?

    My 66 Coronet Hemi tribute has stock manifolds and 2 1/2" all the way back through some Dynaflows with and an "H" pipe. The 472" Hemi pulled 425 at the wheels, which is probably close to 500 at the crank. So maybe it's a "+1" from a stock Hemi. How much would headers improve this? Would I...

    Rear Springs for a Hemi Coronet

    My 66 Coronet Hemi tribute was converted from a 6-cylinder. Front end is all upsized Hemi parts as far as I can tell. Is there a HD "hemi" rear spring that was available on these cars? If so, how can I tell if my were converted or not?
