Jamco suspension - problems!!! HELP NEEDED!

has anybody installed Jamco lowering suspension?????
I got the 3" lowering kit from them as well however Imnhavig problem with the rear suspension!
The shorter coil is ok BUT the shock that Jamco sent me is literally the same Monroe shock that I had installed previously and it is too long to close the coil, I mean when I'll install it and lower the jack the compressed coil opens up and comes out!
Of course it would be fine if I put the wheel back on and put the car down but I… Continue

Torque converter grab when idling in Drive
Posted by Cliff Johnston on June 14, 2021 at 8:47pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Hi Everyone, been quite a while since i have been on here.
I have had an issue with the idle on my 64 Coupe Deville ever since i have had it.

And therefore it tends to sit there and grab and lunge a bit. So until now, i have been putting the car in Neutral at the lights to stop this happening.
I've had the car dyno tuned and…

Not sure if we can buy just the yoke flange as an aftermarket part, or if it has to be rebuilt by a welder/fab guy? Maybe a salvage yard for a source? Again, any…

V.I.N. where?
Posted by Robert Pellow on April 18, 2021 at 1:41pm 6 Comments 1 Like
Where can I find the V.I.N. on a 63 convertible? The usual space at the base of the interior windshield on the driver's side has been decimated by weather.
