66 Chrysler Steering insulator – horn ground

Well, I finally got around to replacing the steering coupler on Betty White and thank goodness I did! I used the Lares units that we all bought a few months ago on RockAuto. When I removed it though, one of the ears on the springy horn ground snapped…

1966 Chrysler Newport

I found this in the “auto parts” section this morning. Looks like a pretty good project!

Fun with sway bar links

Suspension rebuild progress continued on Betty White, my ’66 300. I went to install the new sway bar bushings, courtesy of @mobileparts and in the package, there was a small nut and bolt. I checked the FSM, and sure as shit, the diagram shows a two piece link held together with a tab and bolt. Mine were factory welded so I just cut the bottom at the seam, drilled through the top, and spot welded them together. Does anyone know if the two piece link was a Mopar…

Fun with sway bar links

Interesting find at Desert Valley

I paid a visit to my neighborhood wrecking yard, Desert Valley Auto Parts, to pick up a couple of sway bar links (snapped a nut on mine) and came across this. It’s a Kelsey Hayes electric brake controller. It was on a pretty low optioned 65 Newport sedan, save for Autopilot. It had two tow plugs on the back and a big ass CB antenna. I thought this was pretty cool.

Not mine (but used to be) 65 Plymouth Sport Fury

Here’s the car that got me into C bodies back when I was 17. It looks a little different from when I owned it though. It appears to have received a fresh cost of paint and the body damage to the passenger door is repaired (I didn’t damage it). Glad to see it got some love in the past 20 years.
