I feel Your pain. I went thru everything in the Stock Configuration and am still not getting anywhere near the braking power needed,,, Then the power Steering drained itself,, so I couldn't road test right away... Then.. the Ignition Key broke off in the Ignition. (Sheesh,,, What next??) So I haven't been able to even Road test.

MFG...Well, I sorta felt obligated to let this guy do His thing. He's not out to screw me,. It's what He is stuck paying.

Watching His show is always interesting and informative, He's a real Chrysler Fanatic, which I am not.

MFG Well the Locksmith ordered 2 blanks. $40.00 each. (sheesh). The tumbler has been too sticky to pull a key in and out. I never pulled the key out and it worked fine. ...So what I'm trying to do is get the Car running, and use the key He makes for the doors. I'll then order up a new Tumbler and 2 keys for the Ignition. Robert Ziff sells the tumbler w/ keys. Side note, He couldn't figure out exactly what the key was, I had the Build Sheet and it answered the question... #4337 is the listed ''Ignition Key Number''. Still all of this is delaying progress and it likely will be 1 to 2 weeks before I'm back to square one.

Thanks, MFG. Went to 2 locksmiths today.. mass amounts of keys all over the walls, No matches. The 2nd tried to cut what might work. It failed. H.I.H..

Dwight. I'm going to see a very reputable locksmith this coming morning. I have the 2 key parts. and the Build Sheet, but we'll see what He can do.

Yeah, MFG. I'm anticipating Her to be enjoyable., Her time will come... soon. The car is all original with 80k miles but it was sitting for a handful of years. I've had it for 14 months and haven't even put 10 miles on Her., The issues I'm up against are mostly simple, but i can't dedicate loads of time to Her due to other things going on around here. That's why the 14 months. I wanted to test the brakes after all the work I put into it and the steering fluid leaked down.. Filled it up (still got a leak) and the key broke... Sheesh... What Next?

Thanks Dwight. I broke off the only key that came with the car when I bought it... Today the key snapped of in the ignition..I got the tail of it out and am going to ket a few made by a locksmith. What I was unsure about is wether it was worth it or just a need to have the whole (sticky) tumbler replaced. I know what to do.

I don't have the answer so it's up to Y'all to supply it as Trivia. Does a '63'-64' Avanti come with a separate door key and ignition key, or are they the same?

Anyone else?

I saw the episode and it was quite interesting...No mention of Avanti's which was a little disappointing. We are the end game of the Studie Corp yet we carried it on.

Dexron 3? I'm supposing?

Thanks Leo B. I'll check into them. The big question to me is what's the difference from type 2? and yes, the cost isn't an issue.

Hey guys. I looked in my Power Steering canister and it's very low on fluid. So I went to the Shop Manual and was curious what type of Fluid it took. The Manual says ATF Type 2. This is very uncommon and the only source I'm finding for that Fluid is BMW at $50 a quart....I gotta believe Y'all aren't using this fluid and can suggest another option. I also want to add a little "stop leak" into the mix. Suggestions??

Good luck, Bro. Not going well on my end (other thread_)
