Hello All, I order a set of polyurethane K frame isolators (no, I don't want solid mounts), from ESPO (aka Springs n Things). These are made by Prothane but came without installation instructions. I found the Prothane ones but they are too generic to be useful and although the ones from Energy...

Hello All, I ordered a 3 pin connector and 35T speedometer gear from PATC a three weeks ago. Received updates that the order has been processed but no shipping info or tracking number. The website is down and the phone numbers are not answered (voice mail is off)!!! Anyone know what is going...

Hello All, Trying to determine which idler arm I have in my vehicle ('88 Plymouth AHB). Mine does not have grease fittings on either end. The end that bolts to the K frame has what appears to be a Nylon bushing. The other end that connects to the centre link has sealed ball joint. All the after...

Hello All, The passenger side front sway bar mounting bracket was rusted more than expected as a result, the threaded rod snapped just below the nut. :-( I have managed to affect a repair of sorts by cutting a thread on the remaining stud, doing the same on a 5/16" bolt and using a threaded...

Hello All, I plan to have a cold air intake system with two intakes. For this I need a second cold air intake flange to mount on the inside of the passenger front inner fender. See picture below. Let me know if you have one and the price. I recognize that the shipping costs will exceed the...

Hello All, I'm looking for the either the wiring harness with the connectors or the connectors with short lengths of wire. Picture below for clarity. The 'reverse/neutral' connector is a 3 pin female and the 'lock-up' connector is also a 3 pin female. As far as I know neither connector is...

Hello All, I'm looking for a cruise control stalk for my '88 Caravelle (aka Gran Fury), like the one in the first picture. The one I'm looking for has a 4 flat pin male connector that plugs into the female connector in second picture (factory wiring harness). I can NOT use the cruise control...

Hello All, I've managed to gather together most of the bits for a cruise control set-up. However, the brake light switch appears to be a bit of a challenge. According to my factory service manual it has 6 terminals which strikes me as strange. The only part numbers I have been able to find are...

Hello All, It has been awhile since I'm been on the forum - just moved. As a result I haven't touched the '88 AHB Plymouth Caravelle (Gran Fury for you US guys), since May!! I'm trying to calculate some camshaft specs for my engine as the Hughes item I was planning to use has an unknown...

Hello All, Need some feedback from anyone that has used a Hughes 'HUG SER2226ALN-10' in their 318? I haven't purchased the cam as yet, out of stock at the moment. Focus of the modifications is torque and not horsepower along with sufficient vacuum for power brakes. The choice of the above...

Hello All, The passenger rear door glass was stuck when I acquired my car (1988 Gran Fury / Caravelle). Discovered the channel that the weatherstripping at the rear of the glass sits in was corroded resulting in the weatherstripping bonding to the metal channel. Needless to say it damaged...

Hello All, Had an interesting challenge when I replaced the original fuel sending unit with an aftermarket one; Spectra Premium FG62A (via Rock Auto). I don't know if anyone has experienced this issue but I thought it may save someone time and frustration correcting the problem. Background My...

Hello All, I would like to add rear shoulder belts to my '88 Plymouth Caravelle (aka Gran Fury). I have some ideas as to where the various components can be mounted but it would be nice to know how the factory did it. So, I'm hoping someone has a copy of the optional (dealer installed??), rear...

Hello All, I have an '88 Plymouth Caravelle (aka Gran Fury), that I eventually would like to convert to a better exhaust system. Bear in mind that mine has the vented fuel tank so moving it over to accommodate the drivers side tail pipe is not an option. So, my thoughts are as follows; 1. Run...

Hello All, Please let me know if I should be posting this in the Police Forum as my car has the AHB package. Need some feedback - hopefully someone has done this already. I'm in the midst of installing the ESPO polyurethane bushings in my rear suspension. The bushings for the shackles have a...

Hello All, If this thread should be in the 'Police Cars' section, please let me know. I'm approaching the half way point in what will be a 3 year project restoring / modifying a 1988 AHB code Plymouth Caravelle (aka Gran Fury). I've just pulled the 8 1/4" rear axle out to replace the original...

Hello All, My 1988 M body (4 door), has SS moulding covering the sills. These appear to be held on by some type of spring clip. On my car the upper edge is loose for more then half its length. I'm hesitant to remove the trim for fear of damaging the clips. My factory service manual has no...

Hello All, First, apologies if this info could be found in the Forum. I just joined yesterday and I did search this forum. Having said that I did find the 'search' function somewhat limited. The '88 Plymouth Caravelle (Grand Fury), project I acquired a year ago will become a 'sleeper'...

Hello All, Glad to finally find a forum that caters to M bodies. Mine is a low mileage (142K km / ~88K mi), AHB code (police package), that was sitting in storage for more than 10 years. Mileage appears to be genuine and the car is virtually rust free with original paint on all surfaces except...
