Trying to find these wire hold down clips for my 66 Polara. They measure 2-7/8 center to center. I have looked at most every Mopar site I can find to no avail.
I saw something on a chevy site that looked right. But does anyone know a Mopar source?

…

Will a B body 383 pan (Charger, Coronet) fit a ’66 Polara with a 383? They look the same (no steering relief) laying under the car.
Thanks in advance!

I have about 45 of these 21068 filters for sale. They are brand new and were made by Wix. They are not the gold filter but they are a quality piece.
They fit Mopar engines from the late 70’s to early 80’s and also various Ford engines.
I’m asking 2.00 …

For ’66 Dodge Polara. Can be 2 or 4 door.
This is the piece that the U-bolts go through and is the lower shock mounting point. The FSM lists it as a bracket.
I need a pair please, something heavily pitted.
Shipping would be to 74012

So today I changed the oil in the Polara.
I must have done this a lot of times on big blocks back in the day.
But this time was different.
I drained the oil and removed the Wix filter
I filled the crankcase with Lucas 10-40 and primed the filter with about a half quart of oil, then screwed it on. I’ve used 10/40 before in big blocks.

The ONLY difference was the filter. I used a 61515, which is the “cheaper” version of a 1515 Wix. It was made by Mann/Hummel, who just bought Wix. Mann is…

Oil Filter Blues. Saving a buck could’ve cost me! Any thoughts?

Yup …
I’m down to the last belt to complete my set in my 1966 Polara
The belt I need is marked “Pointier 200-1” It has the lock clasp and is about 42.5 inches long from clasp to mounting hole. Other Pointier number will not match the clip in the retractor.
It can be dark blue or even a green tint. They aren’t really black.
The belt needs to be drivers quality, not a show piece. I expect a small amount of pit and faded chrome, minimum fabric damage, no tears.
Price based on condition…

The last seat belt I need for my 1966 Polara

As some you have read on Polaras project thread, I’m having a problem with dirty gas.
The tank needs be removed and cleaned or replaced.
In addition to the old gas, the stock tank has a soft ball sized dent on the driver’s side.
The sender seems to work fine.
A new tank is about 4 bills with freight. I figured a new float and sock along with gaskets and a tank to trunk gasket too.
Thoughts? Opinions?
Thanks
