Question; Was there a formal "heater delete" option for the 1966 Dodge Coronet 440? On my '66 I finally got around to completing the heater installation by installing defroster ducts and hoses (Classic Industries). Much to my surprise I found these up there under the dash; blanks to cover the...

Happy New Year All; I have another question on my '66 Coronet. The car has a worked 408 small block in it and produces a relatively low vacuum, 10-11". I have a vacuum can in there to generate enough from the carb base to supply the power brake booster. I mention this but I am not sure if...

Hello Again, I'm looking for some direction and advice regarding my 1966 Coronet. I had a small block built for it which is in there; a 408 with 10.0 compression. Ignition is MSD with the separate box and I am running an MSD coil as well. Carb is a "Brawler" which looks to be a 4150 knock off...

Can anyone recommend a good source for a water temp sender? As part of this whole process I verified that the gauges and dash lights work as they should...that is all but the water temp gauge. As you folks indicated, I verified the wiring and the gauge proper by grounding the wire at the...

A while ago I was asking questions about torsion bar adjusters and came away with the conclusion that the ones I installed when I swapped the torsion bars and rebuilt the LCAs were junk. They went partially in and then refused to turn any more. So, I bought a new set which I went to install...

Good Morning, Time to do the interior of my 66 Coronet 2 door coupe. The seats are original and are in pretty good shape but somebody spray painted the door panels somewhere along the line. They are actually sticky and shiny. The question is, where is the best place to get replacement door...

Man, this is getting more interesting! Had some time today to check out the voltage regulator "voltages" on my 66.. Key on, battery voltage at the input terminal, zero at the Field terminal. Removed the regulator from the firewall and jumpered the case to ground, same thing, so it is not a...

Hello; Another "not charging" situation... I've checked other posts but am still at a loss... Here is what I have... 1 - New rebuilt alternator, Isolated field, two spade connections, one side grounded the other side to field from regulator (green wire). Confirmed ground with an ohmmeter...

Hi Guys, I think I have all my electrical gremlins sorted out thankfully. Now, things that are supposed to light do light when they are supposed to! Those #%$#$#&( LEDs that were in the dash; 5 of 8 were defective. I did find and install a new circuit board and checked all continuity to a...

Sorry, This will probably be a long one... I've been working on my 66 Coronet for almost 2 years now, rebuilt or replaced just about everything. Included in all this were all the wiring harnesses; main, front end, under hood and rear lights, etc.. basically 100%. Everything went in and...

Almost there with the motor install, the plumbing took more than I expected..just finding stuff out there. I have two more questions for you all and certainly appreciate your input. 1 - Front end height adjustment - Should I be loosening the lower control arm bolts when I am trying to adjust...

I'm getting closer to completing the motor install on my 1966 Coronet... I could use some help/advice with two different issues.. 1 - Those bloody clips which hold the clutch rods in place; two up top and two down below. Is there any trick to get them in place?? I have been struggling with...

I am looking for thoughts/recommendations for a set of headers for my 1966 Coronet 440. The engine will be a 340/360 vintage small block @ 408ci. The car previously had a 318. I'm looking for something with large runners (I think 1 5/8") into a 3" collector to get max flow. The car did have...

Looking to get the front and rear bumpers on my '66 Coronet rechromed. Can anyone recommend a good place for this in central to southern Florida?? Thanks, Joel

I'm overhauling my 1966 A-833 and am at the point of reassembly.. I'm trying to get the main shaft back into the tail housing... What I am stuck on is the retainer/snap ring. Front of my tail housing has a slot in it which looks like it accepts a snap ring. The new 307 bearing also has a...

Does anyone have a list of the codes which can be found on the "coin" welded to the front of a K frame? My '66 was a slant six converted to a small block. My K frame date stamping appears to be the 114th day of 70, first shift. The coin indicated "90"..just curious what that frame was...

Hello again; Question on leaf springs... The ones in my '66 are original.. The car leans left and sags in the rear. Back in the "old days" there were guys out there who would rebuild them and add leafs if you wanted. Looking around I see replacement springs and rebuilding kits. The...

Hi, It's time to put the new front to back fuel line in. Does anyone have a picture, etc. which shows the correct routing of the line? the shop manual is not of much help. Thanks!

Hi, More questions... I'm looking to convert this car (my 66 Coronet 440) to power brakes. Previously discs were installed up front keeping drums in the rear. I have the booster/Master Cylinder installed and am looking to plumb the unit. I did buy some pre-formed lines but they need to be...

Hi, Moving along with the work on my 66. Pulled the steering column out yesterday (along with the dash, radio, and main wiring harness). It had a black "coupler" connecting the column to the steering box. The coupler was basically apart; the spring pin was never fully installed and was just...
