    Rear seat belt mounting locations.

    The outer bolts are 9 inches in from the side of the car. The inner bolts are 20.5 inches in from the side of the car. These measurements come from the wire covers that run from the front to the rear of the interior

    Rear seat belt mounting locations.

    I tried sending you a PM, but your inbox is full. Are you looking for a picture, measurements, both? The main problem is even with the seat bottom mouth The bolts are partially hidden by the seat back. Do you have any of the four holes in the floor pan at all?

    Rear seat belt mounting locations.

    From a 1968 Coronet, which would be the same as a 69. Is this what you need, or do you need to see under the seat?

    Wiper Motor (‘71 SE)

    Because those wires look exactly like they should, you probably have no problem at all.

    Wiper Motor (‘71 SE)

    Are you referring to the wires in between the motor and the gear housing? If so, that is just how The wiper motor assemblies were manufactured. I know it seems to look like a DIY repair, but it is not. If you are referring to something else, I think you will have to show us another picture. As...

    What I am saying is all of that relates to the "Tell me your experiences with Evaporust" post. If the people involved with that post don't click on the link to this post they will never see your reply.

    Had smoke come from the turn signal switch. Melted it. Thought the short was in the switch. Bought a new one and same thing, except I was watching for it, and no damage to the switch. Found out the 2 wires going to the right stop light are shorted. Couldn't go any further because the car went to...

    Got the front and rear windows installed. That sure makes a difference in the look of the car. Put the unbroken shift mechanism back in. Tightened down the motor mounts. Put in the oil dipstick tube, which has a bracket that is held by one the motor mount bolts.

    PS pump hose is installed. Took off the exhaust manifold with the leaky stud. I thought it was going to be near impossible to get it out by double nutting. It wasn't even tight. Unscrewed it by hand, coated with sealant, and no leaks so far. Found out I had no electricity in the car because the...

    Two steps forward, one step back. First the bad news. Discovered the exhaust manifold stud nearest the firewall on the passenger side is leaking coolant. Looking on the bright side, there is a lot more room to work on the right side of the engine due to the lack of a steering gear. Got the front...

    The patient has a heartbeat!! Worked today to finish the last things needed before fire-up. Got and installed a new, correct throttle cable. Gapped the plugs. Put on the exhaust manifolds. Put in fluids. Put in the oil dipstick. Installed the engine wiring harness. Got and installed a new engine...

    Put on heater hoses. Installed battery tray. Connected battery cable to starter. Tried to hook up the throttle cable, but it looks like it is the wrong one. Bought a battery and coolant. Wow, a group 27 battery sure is big. Trying to figure out what PS pump hose will work. Good news is I can...

    I have no idea why the PS pump was such a problem. The only reason I can come up with is this engine should use a Federal pump, but I don't think that makes much sense. I figured out that I needed a double pulley for the crank with no space between the pulleys. Couldn't find one until yesterday...

    Got in the clutch z-bar and all clutch linkages. Found some PS pump brackets, and after getting the pump in, just as anticipated, the pulley with the space in between won't work. Bought a pulley at the local mopar dealership, but it is no good either. Got another place to try to get one.

    Installed coil, thermostat, water pump, alternator, crank pulley, and fan pulley. Found out the power steering pump brackets I have 2 pair of are both wrong for my engine. Put on the air cleaner just for encouragement.

    Big day! Slipped in the motor, with the trans attached. Started out not knowing if it was possible, ended the day saying that was easy. The biggest problem was getting the trans support installed. I had to have frame caps welded in, and the added width made getting the support on a bear. After...

    Big setback. While picking up the engine and trans at about a 45' angle, the rear main oil seal started leaking. Pulled the trans, bellhousing, clutch, and flywheel to pinpoint the leak. Upper right corner of the main seal. So now pull the pan, redo the seal, put everything back together and...

    I agree - IF you have the the K-frame off. To take off the K- frame now would be much more work than installing from above. Besides I don't have the room to do that in my garage, so after removing the K - frame the car would be stuck outside. A week ago I had hail that dented my daily driver.
