1966 coronet. Goober mounted a chevy truck side mirror and there is two sets of holes on the drivers side for mirror mounting. Can someone measure so I know what holes to keep and those that need patched? I’ll be buying a new mopar mirror.

Thanks, snook

I’m converting my 66 Coronet to AC when I do the build. I have access to a 1968 Charger AC heater box. I have a really nice and complete 66 Coronet AC dash assembly. Will the 68 charger heater box bolt in and connect with the 66 Coronet dash AC & heater controls?

I can also go with the Classic Ind. AC system if I need to. If I go with Classic, do I need the factory AC heater box?

Thanks, snook

My 66 coronet pass side housing is cracked and I’m looking for a good one.

But I need a plain Coronet emblem. Anyone want to trade or have one for sale?

I’ve got the glass out but it looks like the pass and drivers side frame may be removable. Has anyone done this or knows if it’s removable? It’s not in the manual that I can see.

I decided to pull the calipers off the 1966 Coronet before it heads off to bodywork & paint. Obviously these are not original – it was a surprise that the car even had disc brakes. I’m replacing the whole front end with another one I’m building. Anyway… Are the KH 86166 calipers worth something to someone, or do I round file them? I’m going to sell the disc brake setup on there right now, so should I keep them with the setup? These are not run as-is surely but may be good rebuild…

Pulled some Kelsey Hayes calipers PN# KH 86166 off the car

Wasn’t as bad as I was expecting but the weatherstripping was a PITA. The desert is not kind to soft goods but got the job done. I’m going with Steele Rubber stuff on the rebuild and boy they are proud of it. Oh well, if I’m going to do it, may as well make the best of it as much as possible. The felts were hard as a rock and the regulators need some work and lube.
