I am not an expert with difference of 75 and 74. If your blinkers are in the bumper then your fenders should be right. No need to ship this doghouse? Phish It's a Royal Monaco so the fenders are wrong.  |

Do auto headlight doors open and close? I can look at Lemons 24 car in AM see where that goes.

They did in Texas. The battery is dead and I haven't tried since.

Anyone know what this thing is? Found it laying in the bottom of the passenger fender. It pivots, but it looks like it's missing pieces and I don't see where it plugs in. It's the magnetic pick up from a Mopar distributor, if you pull your distributor cap off you'll see where it went, if your car runs it was obviously replaced. |

It's the magnetic pick up from a Mopar distributor, Car's got a lotta pick up ...  Quite the to-get/to-do list, flcl. Good luck with all of that stuff there. You already have an actual S601 ? Or the Mexican non-union equivalent, El Craigo ?  |

Put a rebuild kit in the carburetor today and plugged up all the vacuum hoses that don't go to anything. It runs and stays running! It's bangin' and puffing black smoke so I still need to flush the fuel line. Gonna run some fuel line cleaner, fresh gas, seafoam the intake, and change the oil after that.

I want to try mounting the spotlight. Anybody got any tips? How high up, how to line it up, is this the right angled bracket (60*) for an interior mount? Will I need a relay? What fuse should I use?
This video helps a little, but it's for exterior mounting. Doesn't mention a relay.
I'm thinking I could make a guide with a steel rod and some short sections of pipe to guide the bit
Edit: On closer inspection, this bracket doesn't look like it will work in this car.

Last night I dropped the tank, full of rust, sending unit was all rusty, and the float was replaced with a small aspirin bottle. I flushed the line a few times with an electric pump and some clean gas, then today I ran it with the line hooked to a gas can with fresh premium and a bottle of fuel system cleaner. Did a Seafoam treatment to the intake and got a nice blue smoke show. It looks like the pipe going into the muffler is barely attached and the whole exhaust is shot to shit anyway. I'll take that down and I might try to make my own dual exhaust at home using what I got as a template.  |

I put a new tank, sender, lines, fuel pump and filter on the Fury just a month ago. I don't regret it one bit as I know I have clean rust free gas. Yes, there is the expense but it will save you time and headaches down the road. You don't have to wonder or worry about bad gas and plugging up the carb.

A few tips on the spotlight...
Height:
When in the downward horizontal position, the face of the lamp should just barely be above the hood. Almost touching.
Careful when drilling: There is just enough space, between the windshield glass, and the outside edge of the pillar, to fit the bit into.
Try not to scrape the glass, or it will develop into a crack after a while.
* Don't blast a hole straight through everything at once (outside chrome trim - pillar - inside trim). Dismantle the pieces, inside and out, drill the pillar. Realign one side of the trim and mark it from the other side (through the hole). Then do the same with the opposite side, and drill those pieces separately. You can then put it back together, slide the drill bit through everything and give it a couple spins to ream everything at once and make sure it's all good.

Any tips on getting the pillar molding pieces off? The trim removal tool I got doesn't seem to work for that.
