I took the Craigslist ad down and have it listed on the Bringatrailer.com auction 1978 Plymouth Volare w/Street Kit Car Package

I'm feeling the need for a B-Body so I have to make room in the garage, therefore the Kit Car is up for sale. It sure would be nice to break even, but I know that ain't gonna happen with an F-Body! At any rate, the Craigslist ad is here: 1978 Plymouth Street Kit Car I'm asking what I have in...

I use the old adage, CID x 2 = CFM. Seems to work, my stroker LA is 426" x 2 = 850 CFM, and I run a Thunder AVS @ 800 CFM. I'm probably a little low on that one. Then again, on the Kit Car E58, I have the Street Demon @ 750 CFM, and I think it's over-carbed. Oh well, maybe someday I'll make...

That's odd. I brought mine over in 2013 at Emerson, ND or Manitoba. Maybe you asked the wrong guys - did you talk to Americans or Canadians? It's very difficult to take a car from US to Canada, but rather easy to go from Canada to the US. I have not read the form in a long time, it may be...

By the way, it's really easy to import a car from Canada to the US. I did it with my fully restored Canadian '74 Cuda. As long as you do it yourself, it takes about 5 minutes (for cars older than 25 years). It doesn't even cost money. The guys didn't even look at it. I could've filled my...

I just installed the Lokar cable on my Kit Car. An excellent addition. I can open the back barrels all the way now! I also did the Lokar trans kick-down cable, but that caused a comedy of problems. I thought I overspun a tail piece bolt and stripped it, but miraculously it tightened up...

I ended up mounting my coil on the firewall since the Weiand intake has no mounting hole.

If you go with a Pertronix, make sure you buy a spare ignition module. They last about 2 years max...ask me how I know! We have one in the wife's '71 Challenger. Research the various forums, the life span is no different for Ford and Chevy. I went with the Rev-n-Nator with Firecore...

I ended up going with the ones from Justmopar.com and they work fine. The only problem is that I need some 2-1/4" ones (2 in the trunk & 2 in the rear seat footwell) and everybody has either 2" or 2-1/2". I just cleaned up the old ones and used them.

Amazon.com: Buying Choices: 1978 Chrysler Plymouth Dodge Chassis-Body Service Manual I know this is for compact cars, but keep checking Amazon. The F-body stuff shows up from time to time...at giveaway prices.

It's best to phone them. They'll dig through their archives to come up with what you need.

FYI - I bought a 1978 Chassis manual off of Amazon for $1.99 used. It came out of a library and in perfect condition. It's worth looking!

I got a full set front to back for a '78 Volare from Inline Tube, so the patterns do exist. By the way, it was only $15-20 more for Stainless Steel!

Thanks - it's probably cheaper going with a whole kit versus buying piecemeal.

I know this is an old one, but I just ripped the carpet out and am handling some surface rust. I got impatient and tore up half of my grommet plugs. Did you(or anyone else for that matter) find rubber ones?
