Having a BITCH of a time getting my valve cover's old shitty point removed. A friend suggested chemical stripping and another suggested bead blasting. What do you guys think? I found a local powder coat place that also does bead stripping no luck on the chem stripping yet. THanks!

I am having a little issue when starting the engine once it is warm. It takes a few cranks and I need to learn how much pedal to hold down. Is that normal? Been a long time since I drove a car this old. She fires up on the first crank when cold. Ain't that half the battle?

Thanks again! This one being it was a CA car did not come with the lean burn. :-)

Thanks Dave but I think I am going to pass.

Thank you Johnny! Will let you know if I need anything. Thank you again for the tips!

Thank you, I ended up going with a Cardone booster and their select MC with a lifetime warranty for a few bucks more. Figured it might be worth it. Standing on my head huh? So you are saying I have an easy job ahead of me?

Looking at what is offered at RockAuto, Cardone, Raybestos, Centric and Dorman, any one better than the other? While I am at it think I should swap out the booster (double diaphragm) on this old car with 104k miles on it? Thanks guys!

Gotta ask what is that Dave, a sure grip?? If so how much and would it be a big deal to install in the current axle?

These guys maybe? http://metrommp.com/?f=product_list_for_vehicle&search_year=1965&search_make=PLYMOUTH&search_model=SATELLITE&search_submodel=

75/90 sound about right? Thanks brother!

Auto parts guy gave me two different grades...what should I actually use? The kid didn't seem to sure so I am asking you guys. Its for a 78 Monaco with a 12 bolt 9 1/4 rear, not a suregrip. Thanks, I want to knock this out tomorrow morning.

Hey Guys, After de-greasing the engine yesterday it looks like I do indeed have a fuel leak on the driver's side of my carb. I am not into learning how to rebuild one so who is the best out there to get it rebuilt so it stops leaking? I heard they now make an aluminum part to replace the...

Back from the Mopar Nationals in Ohio and I have all the parts needed for the car..well cept for a new rear deck lid but thats a want not a need. Murray Park had the door latch I needed along with the small piece of trim that runs along the passenger side sail. A buddy also found me 5 police...

Thanks I remember guys talking about this upcoming issue while down in Carlisle. I can't wait to check it out, thanks for the reminder.

Awesome my buddy owned a REAL 78 Fury Det car that was very similar in cadet blue. Beautiful color! Tempted to do this car in that color but black and white would be easier and correct.

Thanks for the welcome and kind words guys. I will post pics of the resto as i goes along. Took her out for a spin and man there is nothing else quite like the sound of those secondaries kicking in! She's running well, going to change out all the fluids etc as soon as I can. Get her purring...

Will give it a shot, I can't figure out why its not latching. Everything in there is under tension....will try the penetrating oil. Thanks

Thank you! Working on the passenger door that won't latch tonight. Can't drive it around till I get that sorted out. Appreciate any and all advice!

Hey Gang, really glad to find this forum by accident while searching for parts for my new car restoration project. I'm looking for tips and advice on who to get new parts from as well as used stuff. The car is a really nice CA survivor that has just made the long trip to its new home in NY...

Hope its ok to resurrect this old thread. This is my first post here and very glad to find you guys. I just purchased a 78 CHP 440 Monaco, attached is a pic of it in my driveway on Day 1. It's a really nice solid CA car that of course needs paint. It has been neglected and left out in the...
