i have not tried yet to fix any of these problems as I only recieved my car on Thursday and left it again the same day.
i see it again this Tuesday.
1.my temp gauge isn't working what is a manual way of testing the gauge.
2.my speedo is out by8mph is there a chart I can look up to see what speedo gear I need.
3.rear window has a leak. What is a gentle way of removing rear window chrome strip so I don't damage it to asses fault.
4. What have other people done about tachos?
thanks in advanced.
Hi guys and girls,
just a shout out from brisbane Australia, I have just bought my first 67 dodge coronet 440 hardtop.
i used to be a mustang man, but after owning my first dodge I'm converted.

i have a few little issues to sort out like temp gauge not working,speedo out, rear window leak but all good.ill search forums for these problems.
its 383ci, with a 727 3speed column shift.
black on red car.
havent seen many coronets over here so looking forward to hitting the streets.
thanks in advanced.
I don't own a Coronet at this time (have 1970 Charger RT), bought my first car when I was 15, 1970 Coronet RT 440 six pack, long pistol grip 4 speed (paid $1500!), eventually sold for college money for $2300 to a guy in Schenectady NY, think I sold it in 1986-87 around there. I don't have the VIN info anymore, I think there were only 97 of these built as six pack/4 speeds, I would like to try and track down the car if possible, see what shape it is in today, where it is located etc. Any suggestions how to do this? Would the state of NY still have my registration records so I could find the VIN? Maybe I could find in some MOPAR registry any cars like this with owners in NY (if same guy maybe kept it). Sure wish I had kept that car! Thanks for any help, ideas. Old Photos when I had it attached.
Getting dark early and my stock headlights just don't cut it. So I bought some Hella lights, high and low beams. I might have to beef up charging system after this and that's fine.
I put one low in here in pic so you can see the difference, and after I finish all I will post another pic. One of the adjusters broke last night so I have to find one today. I drove it to work this AM with both new lows installed and I can see again and did not notice any difference on gauge even at idle. My charging system is stock except for a solid state regulator so far.
In some states these will be illegal except off road but are allowed around here.
