"title and plates $75". You suck. I'm in Illinois. A sticker to renew plates is $151 a year. More than a month over and add $20 no matter "why". My 01 Durango has sat since October with a dead tranny. Coincidentally that's the month my plates ran out. I'm about 2 weeks away from getting my...

Over the years I had both an 85 and an 89 diplomats, police package cars. Both came from the factory with 8-1/4 and 2.94 gears That said I had to replace the 7-1/4 in my mom's 84 5th avenue original 7-1/4 equipped car. . And did a 7-1/4 to 8-1/4 on a 90 Dakota as well. In both cases the 8-1/4...

Sounds like you went the wrong way with the adjustments, and also a bad throw out bearing besides

A couple of/6 forum guys here....

I've run into that setup before. I paid $500 for the whole truck (though I have a few times that in the replacement engine I built for it) I ain't looking to spend $500 in a bracket setup for an ac compressor. I'll keep looking, maybe I'll try to make something if I can't find it

if someone has a 2nd set I'm looking for the same.

76 318 should not be lean burn. Only a few big blocks that year. 77 some 318# had it.but with the engine outa distributor and carb would be all that you'd need to change out to be rid of lean burn, your original car doesn't have it.

hate to say it doesnt take much to "embarrass" the M body cars of that timeframe.

If you have it don't even think of "not" using the 2 barrel

I would seriously doubt that your original engine as it left the factory is 8.4:1 compression. If you measure things out id bet you are closer to 7.5:1. Due to tolerance stack up and such. Even with the stock original shim steel head gasket which is half or less, of the installed thickness of...

I have 2 either 1979 or 80, 360 truck TQ's, both same carb # as each other. Redone by Demon Sizzler, only reason IO sent em in was to have him rebush the throttle shafts but he played with jet sizing as I remember while he had them..... haven't looked at em in a while but as I remember the only...

I've had vehicles from the factory with a 318 and TQ. Most notably my 1981 W150. I still miss that truck. Huge power from a 318 and unbelievable mileage. I love the 318 in general and if you have a tq that is set up right, you will love it.

I don't know if it was this site (I haven't been here myself in a while) but I used to see the OP post "all the time" at one of the Mopar sites (this was longer ago than his last appearance here)

I had some extra 76-79 front sheet metal, shorty Thompson bought from me some years ago and put on to a 2 door (forgot now whether his was a diplomat or a Lebaron) but I saw pix later, that car looked good with the f body front on the 2 door m body back half, fit right on there.

You were at the Larry roesch swap meet right? I ask because much of what I see in the pix looks familiar. I stopped, we talked, I was looking for the super six stuff. And I bought a few things from you, like the blue horn pads. I haven't been on the site in some time, but we've talked on here...
