I apologize for the low quality pictures. I am still curious about the additional metal on the one in the background. If you look closely you can see that it has a flat piece that bridges the center and gets welded to the channel portion a few inches either side of center where the one in the...
I have been prepping and painting parts recently and primed a bunch of parts when it was too cold and damp. Not to bore people with details but I decided to knock most of the questionable primer off some parts. The transmission crossmember from my 68 Coronet R/T was one of those parts. It was...
Still looking for the three plastic dash insert pieces for a 68 Coronet R/T.
There is a small piece to the left of the speedometer, the radio bezel, and the hockey stick piece by the glovebox.
I think it is completely possible. am not sure back in the day when the title was issued for each state. For example, in CA, cars that came from Detroit to the dealer, had documentation, but they wouldn't have a CA "pink slip" a.k.a. "title" until CA registered the sale from a dealer to a...
I haven't measured any of them. The one out of the C Body transmission might be a 10 3/4". Thanks for the advice about the weights vs. buying a flex plate.
Understood. I think I read that b&m makes a weighted flex plate if I wanted to run the “un-weighted” converters with the cast crank. Looks like the motorhome converter is the simplest solution though. Thanks
A friend convinced me to at least partially assemble my rough 67 GTX while still working on trying to do a decent job on my 68 Coronet. The thinking is if I can get the GTX to at least run and move under its own power it will be easier to sell if/when the time comes. The plus side is we can...
I see the 3/4" (give or take) spacing but can't picture how that goes in there, unless the big tunular spacer is narrower by the thickness of the flat piece?
Also, since you were kind enough to reply, do you recall what part number your compressor mounting brackets were?
And just confirmed that I will be using the 68 alternator brackets. The kind with the casting that bolts onto the three bolt holes on the end of the head. Decided to try the 69 setup to see if I liked it better. Everything bolted to the water pump and block fine but the one bolt that goes...
Tried messing with that. It won't clear some of the hardware on the face of the compressor, and then it becomes offset from the idler pulley that mounts on the same bracket/plate. Just holding it in that position didn't seem to get it close enough to the alternator alignment either..
I think...
Fast forward to 2025. Plans for stock appearing 440 are kaput. Going to run a 400/451. I bought the Classic Auto Air system supposedly designed for 69 B/RB with air conditioning. I recently started mocking things up on my engine. I intend to repaint it and wanted to see that everything...
This is very helpful. I am in the midst of trying to mock up my accessories and add Classic AC. My 68 was an AC car but the prior owner removed the AC. Your pictures let me know that I seem to have the right cast alt. bracket, and lower leg; the correct crank pulley, and likely the correct...
Well that is different. I would have eaten it if it was apple cake. For my birthday this year I asked for (and got) apple cake with cream cheese frosting. So good I would eat it off my shoe.
