Numbers Matching
I have a 1967 Charger with a 383 engine. Please advise exactly where I can see on the engine that it is numbers matching with the car. Photos would be most appreciated if available.
Calling Popeye – Help Needed with Hood Hinge Torsion Bar
All the spinach you can eat…..call now….
It finally dried up enough this afternoon to get after the hood on the 300 again. Have already tried to install the hinge on the pivot then engage the torsion bar afterward. No way. So this time I tried hoo…

Thank you for accepting me as…
’66 Chrysler Gauge Cluster
Been out working inside the car this morning while waiting for things outside to dry of a bit so I can have more quality time with the hood hinge from hell. Between the monsoon rains and overall heat and humidity the last few days, it’s like a swamp out there.
Was just running a quick check on the functionality of all things electric inside the car. Have discovered that the only thing in the gauge cluster that works is the ammeter. No idiot lights, no dash lights, no fuel gauge (the one…
Photos and Pointers Needed for Heater Control Valve Replacement
Yep, been awhile – again.
Trying to sneak in a little time to work on the ’66 Imp to tie up a few more loose ends. Have a new glove box to install but can’t do that until I replace the HCV.

Currently in the process of sourcing a replacement, have a couple in…

Still seeking ’66 Imperial Rear Bumper

Pretty sure the top piece is the same for ’64-’66. The lower bumper section is unique to that year due to the backup lights being added to it.
Looking for decent ‘driver’ condition. Doesn’t need to be Pebble Beach show quality, but dent/rust/gouge-free without hunks of chrome peeling off.
Located NW of Richmond, VA and willing to drive a ways or arrange…
66 Imperial Window Motor Question
Greetings crew:
Finally started back to work on my ’66 Imp this week thanks to all the time at home. Posted an update in the Members Projects forum.
One problem that cropped up involved the left rear window: it went all the way down into the door (my fault) and won’t come back up. Oddly, the front switch seems to be working backward, up is down and down is up. Back switch works right when it works.
Right now I just get a light clicking sound down in the body near the motor when I try…
