    WTB “2 bbl” Poly 318 intake

    I have one off my '63 with the carb, I'd give it to you, though the shipping nixes the idea..

    64 Sport Fury Convertible Top Gap

    My ’63 is similar having about a ¼-inch gap. This is the 3rd top since I’ve had the car always a gap, the last top was set wrong having a larger gap, around an inch and was replaced; but this wasn’t the only ill-fit hassle. Note how the edge of the quarter window (edge trim) is covered by the...

    So....I took Fred to get new tires put on today - Ed story time!

    Few years ago, I bought new center caps for my new magnum’s, when I put the 2nd cap on one screw stripped out. The hole wasn’t threaded deep enough and the screws provided were dang close to being too long as it was. Found another short-threaded hole in another cap and tapped it deeper. Then a...

    So....I took Fred to get new tires put on today - Ed story time!

    Glad you and Fred are fine. Had a similar experience on my Challenger WAY back when putting Magnums on and my brother taking the Keystones I had on it. Longer story. You probably know, but I’d take your ride out for a nice-long drive to make sure nothing got fudged with the alignment, no...

    Brake pedal too low after manual drum to power disc conversion

    There’s a brake pedal ratio factor for manual and power brakes, in case you may not have checked this. On my ride, there are two holes in the pedal arm, upper and lower holes for manual or power brake linkage connection. Upper is for manual, lower for power brakes. There is a lot of info on the...

    WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ABILITY TO THE "RED X" COMMENT?

    I have an idea why this request arrived. As posted and as agreed, you can make your own bigly as you wish and even having it swirl and stuff…though seems like memes have become more popular.

    1963 vs 1964 Plymouth fury detailed comparisons

    There were changes in the cowling area noticeable by how different the dashes are. I had thought due to this, the hoods weren't interchangeable; but a guru on these cars I know said they are. I do think there are some differences with the doors or front door posts, not being swap-able. I'm...

    64 Sport Fury Project - Run away or take it on?

    JMO, given you say you’re not a fan of early B’s, I’d either pass on it or if it’s a nice deal to buy, take it and re-sell it to someone who wants to restore a ride like this if reselling has some worth for the trouble. A ‘sport’ makes it more special. As posted you can find parts, but should...

    My overheating senario….

    Old hoses, all of them get weak eventually needing replacing, if the lower hose is weak and haven't changed the upper one, good time to do it. Brake hoses, fuel, vacuum hoses, pcv, get mushy from wear and/or age and can collapse or fail under use.

    Here we go again- hurricane Milton

    Is this joking around? Creating hurricanes and only targeting red-states? They’re along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, AL, MS, LA, FL, TX, suffering hurricanes as long as the records go back. Blue-states along the Atlantic coast have had hurricanes. Seems that a few blue-states have had their...

    Oil filter too close to headers???

    I have a poly with headers having to use the shorter filter accessing it from an access opening in the fender well. Filter doesn’t fit through the opening so I set it on the header (using plastic bags laid on the header to catch any oil) then lift out from the top.

    Here we go again- hurricane Milton

    From what I had read, there's two similar tracked hurricanes, one in the later 1800's and the other a little over a 100-years ago. It hit Tampa when the pop there was like 100,000 and 8 people were killed. Geez, what's it now? Couple million?

    Here we go again- hurricane Milton

    Yeah doesn't look good. Rare storm track for the area. Have a cousin in Tampa hoping she, family, and all her pets are prepped...well as much as this could be. Hope & prayers for all those possibly impacted.

    My overheating senario….

    All good tips, I had a hell of a time chasing hot motor problems after rebuilding the motor adding more HP, doing several things posted up here. But, if I follow in the OP’s case, I gather nothing much was done to ‘change’ things? Maybe I missed it along the chain. Didn’t drain the radiator...

    Oh, here we go again

    About 15-years ago got hit by a hail storm. Toasted my ’97 Ram and wife’s Eagle Vision. (I had pulled it out of the garage an hour before the storm so my daughter coming home for a visit from college could park in the garage – yeah, she got home after the storm). The adjuster while here asked...

    My overheating senario….

    Go with the OEM spec cap. I use a 160 stat as mentioned earlier, but many prefer 180, either one.

    Motor running hot.

    If running a 'new' head, heads, rebuilt motor, it will run hotter during break in..

    Motor running hot.

    Agree, had to find this out with an infrared thermo. Yeah, just what IS the temp 1/2 way, etc.

    My overheating senario….

    Given your hassle ya will need to refill and if that lower hose should come off, refill more as it will drain the block. Take your time either way to assure air pockets are purged. For some it may be a one and done; but I've had to do it more than once. Air pockets can be sneaky to get rid of.
