Hi all,
as I'm in aus. I cannot find a replacement oil filter for my 383ci as this engine was not standard in aus.
it has a pz1 pennzoil filter on it, and I am needing to change the oil,
what different brands and filter numbers can I use or do you use, everything I buy needs to be online which can get annoying.
cheers.

I asked 67440Dodge (Mike) to look at a car for me and this is what he made me buy!
5366

In all seriousness, I can't thank Mike enough for his efforts, time and guidance. He looked at a car for me in person and then reviewed several others for me. Worst case, he saved me time and effort of traveling long distance to look at garbage. At best he helped me prevent buying a mistake.

So this is the result! My future street/strip car (68 Plymouth Satellite) for my daughters to race (not trying to kid anyone - for me to race also) but be able to drive to the track when I trailer my race car. Plan is to build it to go safely 10.0 but put a 12 second motor in it for now. Will take the motor out of my daughter's 67 Coronet 500 and put it in the Plymouth and put the Coronet back to stock. Coronet is a rust free California car. With the Plymouth I will have a rust free car with a reasonable new paint job and will build the car the way I want - not getting anyone else's hack work. And yes, it will cost me more than if I bought a complete car, but......

Not sure of all the details yet - may badge it as a GTX. It is a SC car and pretty solid - yeah so its missing a quarter panel!

Bought it from my resto guy. Kid was gonna make an auto cross car out of it but has no money. Resto guy bought it from the kid for me but he is just a pass through - has a clean title.

Target is go get it back to me early spring with a roll bar (6 or 8 point - need to decide if I want the rear seat in it or not), painted white, new headliner, dash and windows installed. Not sure who puts suspension in and I take it from there. Goal is to get it down the track by the end of 2015.

It is an original vinyl roof car. Do I put a black vinyl roof on it or not?

Am I an idiot????

Hello everyone,

I just joined the forum today. I own a 1969 Coronet 440. My dad bought the car from the original owner in 1995, then gave it to me in 1996. My car originated in VA and we bought it in NC.

It has a 318, 904 automatic. The shattered the original rear-end and replaced the 8 1/4 housing with a 8 3/4 housing out of a 1969 Super Bee.

I have started restoring it and will post pictures soon.

Regards,

Jim Southern

Looks like somebody is re-popping the '66-'67 B-body vent cables. Found this in EBAY. Dante's is selling them.

Got a short deck big block on the stand. It came out of a 71 Challenger R/T, original to the car. Build date on the block is 6/71. Stampings on the pad are unreadable because of the heavy orange paint.

Pistons are L2315F .060 over. Those are for a .060 over 383, which makes the bore 4.310. Checked the bore, and it's correct.

Has a forged crank in it. Stroke comes out to 3.38, so it appears to be a .060 over 383.

Here's where the fun comes in.

Casting number is 3614230-5, which is for a 400 block. Block has the stiffening ribs for a 400, and the thick main web supports of a 400. Even has the different bellhousing patter for a 400. So for all intents and purposes, it's a 400 block. But the cylinders are bored for 383, and there is no sign of any sleeving being done.

Did Chrysler start casting 400 blocks and only boring them to 383 specs late in the 71 model year?

The head light grills on my 70 r/t need to be painted.
I don't know what color's were used.
It's a silver gray around the head lights and along the perimeter.
The grill's fins are black.
The paint must be for plastic.
Thanks

This is NOT mine.
More pictures in the ad. Someone over on another site, The Station Wagon Forums, looked at it and says it needs a tailgate, and here's a link to that person's thread about the car. I am only posting the ad here since the original poster appears to have decided against buying it.

1967 Dodge Coronet 440 Station Wagon 318 V8 Automatic 2 Owner Car - $10500 (Gainesville, GA)


For sale is my 1967 Dodge Coronet 440 station wagon with the 318 LA V8 engine, TF727 automatic transmission and Mopar 8 3/4" rear axle. Odometer shows 113,xxx miles. I purchased the car from the family that bought it new here in Atlanta in '67 so I'm the 2nd owner. Still has the original Chrysler Certicard under the hood with all their info on it. The factory options are power steering, A/C, manual brakes, 6 passenger wagon, roof rack, dual mirrors, and upper level "440" trim package. I have recently gone through all the mechanical systems on the car to make it road ready again and it runs and drives excellent, very smooth, quiet and comfortable. The car has never been wrecked, all original paint. The body is still very straight, of course has some typical dents and scrapes for a car it's age but nothing major, the original red and white paint were buffed and hand waxed recently and still shine very nicely, only some light patina on the rear quarters and tailgate. All the stainless trim is in excellent shape nothing missing. Very soild car in and out, the inside of the tailgate has some rust at the bottom but only seen when its opened. The worst area of rust when I got the car was the passenger floor pan half which I have properly cut out and replaced with a complete pan half from AMD, all other floors were in good shape and have been treated with POR-15 paint. The interior is also in excellent shape, I repainted all the dash and removable interior panels back to the original color. The seats front and rear still have the original vinyl and are still in excellent shape no rips. New carpet. The dash, HVAC box and all other related components have all been cleaned, tested and restored to working condition. All gauges work properly, heat/air controls all work, blower motor works but is a bit noisy, good heat but A/C still needs to be charged back up. New fuel tank and sending unit. The engine that is in the car now is from a '70 model due to the original engine being seized but I still have the original one from the car and all the parts to go with it.
(Engine)-- New bearings, rings, oil pump, mild Comp camshaft, lifters, Comp valve springs, custom made pushrods, Weiand aluminium 4 barrel intake manifold, Holley 600 4 barrel carb(rebuilt), resurfaced heads, freeze plugs, motor mounts, timing chain/gears, distributor drive gear, Pertronix ignitor II ignition, Flamethrower coil, cap/rotor, plugs/wires, thermostat, water pump, fuel pump, new gaskets top to bottom, all belts and all hoses and fittings, alternator and regulator, complete dual exhaust system front to rear with nice quiet mufflers, all aluminium 4 row radiator and I'm sure I left some things out, pretty much everything under the hood is new. All fresh fluids. Every part as it was removed was also cleaned and repainted.
(Transmission)--Original TF727 to the car, now has new...mild shift kit for better shifts, filter and fluid, seals and gaskets, oil cooler lines and new U-joints in the driveshaft.
(Brakes/Drivetrain)--Brakes have all been gone over and now has a new master cylinder and all 4 wheel cylinders and new flex hoses to the wheels. Power steering has fresh fluid and new seals in the box and pump and new hoses, also a new idler arm.
The car runs great, rides smooth and looks great. Very uncommon to see these old wagons. I've been using it daily and its actually a very practical daily driver, easily does 75 mph down the interstate and averages mid teen MPG's. Recently we took it on a 500 mile trip to NC and back without one issue. Sold with a GA bill of sale no title, GA doesn't require titles for vehicles older than '86. $10,500 OBO cash only, may entertain some trade offers but mainly just looking to sell. If you see this ad I have the car.
