Yeah, absolutely agree with this! Sure, you could patch it up with plastic stuff, but after a few years it'll come apart.

I was going to post this in a separate thread, but seeing as I had already started this one (on the same topic) I figured I would just tack this on. So I have been looking at the overall ride height (at the back) of my Coupe, and really getting that thing about 1" lower would be nice. That in...

So the weird part to me - which is what I have been thinking all along in this thread - is that I have never actually seen a set of F/J/M-body leaf springs that actually extend the shackle back so far that is hits the dead-stop bar! That would just seem like the leaf spring is too long...

For what it's worth, may I suggest it is all about this ROD in the picture...

Welcome to the forum! As you probably might have already realized, the T-top stuff in particular is probably best classified as made of "un-obtainium"...however, this here is probably the best place to connect with if you are looking for such a part!

Damn man, that's a sharp ride you put together!!! Nice....

Welcome to the forum...aha, some good ol' Dippy.org crowd there!!! (and here LOL)

Man, doesn't that feel soooo good when things are starting to come together to "make the car"??? Nice work!

The police/fleet vehicles normally used the heavier (larger) versions of parts. For example: 1) Tie-Rods - 9/16" for standard - 11/16" for police/fleet (TRW: ES355L & ES352R rod ends, ES440S sleeve) You can still get the hard parts. 2) Sway Bars - 7/8" for standard - 1-1/8" for police/fleet...

@prowler ...buddy, this is killing me...I MUST KNOW!!! (LOL)

...and this is a FACTORY setup??? Actual part, or a service tool...because yeah, I too would love to see a pic of this "thing"!!!

LeanBurn was the Chrysler/Mopar updated ignition system that replaced the transistor based ECU units. Basically the LeanBurn (LB for short) is a plastic box typically attached to the side of the air filter housing (though not always AFAIK). It contained an electornic circuit board made up of...

So I always wondered, and perhaps I simply missed the obvious, but what exactly was the reason for Mopar using different mounts? I mean externally isn't the block casting (not the machining) basically the same thing everywher else?

Was this a LeanBurn car that was converted to a standard electronic ignition? I ask b/c in that one photo you are holding a 10-pin plug that very much looks like harness plug for the LB computer, w/o which the car won't run. So does the car run now, or it hasn't even been started since it got...

Welcome to the forum! Your ride is the 2dr. version of the 4dr. family car that started my "love affair" with the M-bodies...LOL...many many years ago! Happy to have you here...ask questions, go slow (at first lol) as you get to know the car and are trying to figure things out. Try to avoid...
