I need to install a new steering shaft seal. So i am trying to figure out how to remove a 1965 Power Steering Shaft Coupling (shown in picture) and reinstall it
What a great site you have here! I just bought a numbers matching 69 Coronet 500 H code in need of restoration, 76k miles on her. She's from PA like my first car that I drive over here, a 66 Dart GT HiPo. I will be sure to ask all of you good people for lots of advice and help.
Luckily for me I have a brother near Albany NY with a 65 Satellite he's restored from the bottom up, he helped get the first item I need: The 69 Dodge Service Manual. Wish me luck, I'll need it. -Erik1920
I have a 67 R/T. I guess that's about it. Nice site and good resource. The R/T will eventually participate in NSS when I get the new bullet built. I've attached a pic of the old girl.1901

For all you AM radio owners, who don't wish to change your radio, here's something that may work for you. It's called an FM converter and these things were widely available back in the late 70's. early 80's - had one on my '73 Duster. The antenna plugs into the unit, an antenna lead runs from the converter to your radio then all you have to do is wire up 12 volts to it. AM radio frequency is set to a specific place (mine is 1400 KHZ) and the converter will pump FM stations through your AM radio. I bought one of these from a Radio restoration expert in Brighton, On. and it works well - within the limitations of the original speaker, of course! I could have gone the optional route of having my AM radio converted for stereo, 6 speakers, Ipod jack, etc. but didn't want to cut up my original parcel shelf, door panels and so on. Not perfect put pretty cool and sort of period correct.1877
After seeing more and more cars with buckets and a buddy seat I think I'd prefer this set up over a console, am I nuts? Automatic shifters in the console are so clunky and seem so unnatural compared to a colunm shifter. Also the column takes up so much of the floor space, maybe I'm claustrophobic? Go ahead and let me have it boys...
Wish me luck, I'll need it. -Erik1920
