    Ignition Switch Removal - '71 Coronet

    So I'm looking to change out my ignition switch after my other one burnt out. I got the steering wheel off, but there seems to be a ball bearing in place holding the rest of the steering wheel on keeping me from getting to the switch I need to replace. I done some looking online and most...

    '71 Coronet 318 to 440 Engine Swap

    I'm aware of the lower compression in the later model 440s and personally, while it'd be nice to just buy an engine and drop it in, I think where I stand on the subject is about the same. I mean, if you're going through all the trouble to pull your old engine out and put the one you want for...

    '71 Coronet 318 to 440 Engine Swap

    Not really a problem I'll probably replace a lot of parts anyways. I'll salvage what I can as far as pulleys and other assorted parts go, but I did a bit of research before I bought the thing just so I knew what I was getting into buying an older block, especially from an RV, so im somewhat...

    '71 Coronet - Steering Column

    Yes, it would probably have to be hollow. Whenever I pull on the column it is loose at the steering shaft and the coupling seems to move and twist like it should with a pin in it. Plus, I'm not sure I could have been driving it without incident without a roll pin lol. There does seem to be a...

    '71 Coronet 318 to 440 Engine Swap

    [UPDATE] So I've acquired a '77 440 from an old Dodge RV and I currently have it sitting in my garage waiting to be rebuilt. My wife and I just moved in to a new house and our budget is pretty strict at the moment, but when things get less tight is probably when I'll go and have it inspected...

    '71 Coronet - Steering Column

    My car wouldn't start so after replacing both my starter and relay solenoid, I moved on to replacing my ignition switch. I've done some research on the subject before coming here and I'll probably end up rebuilding and re-greasing the whole column since I've pretty much taken the whole thing...

    '71 Coronet 318 to 440 Engine Swap

    So I've been looking at some 440s here and there and there seems to be a couple complete and running engines for under a grand, so naturally I'm thinking of just getting one and doing a swap for my 318. What all needs to be replaced and adapted to accommodate the big block if you're swapping...

    Bleeding Brakes.. Problem?

    Could you elaborate on this? I recently got my car back from a body shop and noticed the brake pedal was sitting pretty high. When I started driving, I felt almost no resistance in my brakes so I pulled over and checked it out. Damn reservoir was bone dry for my rear brakes! So today I bled my...

    '71 Coronet - San Diego, CA

    No problem. The first pic is right after a wash and the 2 below that are of the day I went and looked at the car. Ah, remember it like it was yesterday. The paint has began to chip a bit though since I got it, I suppose a consequence of it being around 44 years old. Think it's time for new...

    '71 Coronet - San Diego, CA

    Just some reproduction 15x7 rallye wheels to replace those god-awful wheels the previous owner put on, nothing too fancy. I wanna try and get it back looking somewhat stock/original. I haven't put them on yet because cars in the shop getting some body work done, but I'm thinking once I get it...

    '71 Coronet - San Diego, CA

    So I figured that since I'm new here, I'd take some time to introduce myself to the FBBO community so here goes! My name is Gary and I was born and raised in the great state of Indiana and I'm 22 years old. At the age of 20 I joined the Navy and got stationed out of San Diego, California...

    71 Coronet Project (Stock Gear Ratios, 318 capabilities, etc.)

    If that's not an understatement, I don't know what is. I'm a little bit behind the curve knowledge-wise, being that my dad pretty much never taught me jack about cars and I was never really interested in cars period until I moved to California last year and saw my first Challenger :icon_lol: So...

    71 Coronet Project (Stock Gear Ratios, 318 capabilities, etc.)

    So last year I got stationed in California and I went ahead and bought my first car, a 1971 Coronet Base. Save for an MSD electric ignition box, the car is pretty much as stock as stock gets. So needless to say, I'm trying to get this car up to date performance wise without changing the overall...
