I want to know how much weight my '74 fury can support, I can't find any owners manual on the internet

MrOldart2U

?? what do you mean how much it can support? Are you talking trailer weight, load in trunk or something different?

Sorry, I'm talking about the load in trunk

Probably depends more on what type of shock absorbers you have out back. I recently came back from Chryslers@Carlisle, we had 2 full sized suit cases, an ice chest, 3 lawn chairs, a 60amp alternator (heavy) and my tool chest ALL in the trunk of my 70' Newport. I have heavy duty Monroe gas charged shocks in the rear, so although the *** end was lowered a bit, it was not that bad. I'd say weight wise it was a good 250lbs. or so, maybe a bit more. Barely noticed it.

With the 250Lb on the trunk and 4 passenger how do you feel the car? I guess my car has the factory stock shock absorbers.

How do I "feel" the car?? The car felt fine the entire trip, even with the extra weight. The 383 had no problem pulling the extra weight. I was still able to hang with all the turnpike lead foots without breaking a sweat.

I mean if the car is slow or something like that.

My car has a 360 so I guess he has no problem pulling the car with 4 passengers and 250Lb in the trunk

Don't be discouraged. Your can wake up your 360 quite nicely with the right parts.
