Hello Duke5A, You're the man!!! Brilliant, I was hoping it was a A518 / 46RH. You have no idea how many hours I spent trying to determine what version I have. Thank you!

Hello Both, Thanks for the quick reply. I know it is an RH version as it only has two electrical connectors; a 3 pin (12V, OD, TCC), and 2 pin (neutral / park). As for the pan, below is a picture - hope that helps.

Hello All, I've been going around in circles trying to figure out which version of Dodge automatic I have. The know it came from a 1995 Dodge Dakota pick-up with the 318 V8. The number on the side of the rail for the ATF pan is; PK5211832421083192. Depending on which website I go to it is...

Hello AMC Diplomat, The second ebay link you sent me ended up being a winner. The seller was willing to pull the weatherstripping / guide piece as well as the four nylon keepers off the rear door glass he was selling and sell that separately. VERY generous offer from the seller as it was not...

Hello KKritsilas, Good point. The only 33 Ohm resistor I had in my parts box was a 10W. I figured it was overkill. A 1 or 2W resistor should be sufficient. I considered a pot to fine tune the accuracy. All of this will have to wait until the car is on the road - Spring of 2025 if all goes well...

Hello AMC Diplomat, You are a gentleman. I've contacted the chap in the second link as he is in Michigan. My nephew in LaSalle, Ontario (close to Detroit), has a drop box in Detroit that I could make use of. Fingers crossed. :-) Plan B is to see if 10 mil Mylar (appears to be the factory...

Hello AMC Diplomat, Thanks for the quick response. I checked the ad and he doesn't ship to Canada. In fact he only ships to the continental USA. :-( I will have to keep searching. Fingers crossed. :-)

Hello All, The passenger rear door glass was stuck when I acquired my car (1988 Gran Fury / Caravelle). Discovered the channel that the weatherstripping at the rear of the glass sits in was corroded resulting in the weatherstripping bonding to the metal channel. Needless to say it damaged...

Hello All, Guess what? Was looking up something in the owners manual (yes, my car came with the original pristine OM), and lo and behold on page 9 was the diagram below. DOH! Never thought to check the OM. As Aspen500 mentioned it is a two piece system; you retain the existing lap belt and add...

Hello All, Great 'international' feedback. Sub03 - appreciate the compliment. I have no idea what the fuel gauge input resistance range is. The factory service manual describes how to test the gauge BUT it is with the 'factory' testing tool. A box that has a three position switch; E 1/2 F...

Hello All, Appreciate the feedback. I was hoping a diagram or pictures existed as the logical place for the harness mount is the rear parcel shelf. However, as you noted, it is quite weak so reinforcement is a necessity. My assumption was that the 'dealer kit' would include some form of...

Hello All, Had an interesting challenge when I replaced the original fuel sending unit with an aftermarket one; Spectra Premium FG62A (via Rock Auto). I don't know if anyone has experienced this issue but I thought it may save someone time and frustration correcting the problem. Background My...

Hello All, I would like to add rear shoulder belts to my '88 Plymouth Caravelle (aka Gran Fury). I have some ideas as to where the various components can be mounted but it would be nice to know how the factory did it. So, I'm hoping someone has a copy of the optional (dealer installed??), rear...

Hello 80mirada, Nice piece of insight especially the point about headers. Thanks!!

Aspen500. Thanks for the follow-up. I'm curious as to why you added the flex pipes? I added a flex pipe to my Volvo 940 Turbo (2.3L 4 cyl. RWD, 3" downpipe and converter then 2.5" to a SS Magnaflow muffler at rear bumper), in an attempt to reduce drone which I assumed was from vibration. Didn't...

Aspen500, Forgot to ask, what brand of muffler did you put on your car. BTW the underside of your car is pristine - well done!

Hello All, I'm overwhelmed by the number of responses - thank you!! :) A few comments. M_Body_Coupe - VERY NICE looking exhaust system. Where did you find the pipes? Mandrel bent stainless pipe is hard to find. Lyell's exhaust in Burlington, ON sells pieces for welding up. Here in NS nobody...

Hello All, I have an '88 Plymouth Caravelle (aka Gran Fury), that I eventually would like to convert to a better exhaust system. Bear in mind that mine has the vented fuel tank so moving it over to accommodate the drivers side tail pipe is not an option. So, my thoughts are as follows; 1. Run...

Hello AMC Diplomat, As always, your feedback is welcome and appreciated. I still have a hard time getting my head around using the polyurethane bushings 'as is' and having to 'squish' them to install. To me it will distort the bushing and significantly increase the friction between the shackle...

Hello All, Appreciate the feedback. I'm still can't get my head around the differences between the Polyurethane bushings and the originals. So, I have started to modify the bushings to match the originals. I'm using a Dremel tool with a cone shaped abrasive stone to trim the bushing. I'll...

Hello All, I have a subscription to an excellent automotive publication called Collectible Automobile. For you Mirada owners the April 2024 issue has a very detailed 6 page article covering all 4 production years including the special models (Magnum, convertibles, etc.). So, check your local...

Hello All, Please let me know if I should be posting this in the Police Forum as my car has the AHB package. Need some feedback - hopefully someone has done this already. I'm in the midst of installing the ESPO polyurethane bushings in my rear suspension. The bushings for the shackles have a...

Hello AMC Diplomat, I don't have time to make a nice engineering drawing but did do a crude dimensional sketch (see attached picture). BTW is used a set of calipers as opposed to a tape measure so the values will be very close. The Toyota drawing does not reference the stud diameters so that...

Hello All, AMC Diplomat - interesting Toyota shackles, unfortunately they are $77 CAD each ($57 USD), and may not be an exact fit. Hopefully this will work for another forum member. Received my repaired rear shackles from the machine shop. He charged me $80 CAD ($60 USD) for the two shackles...

Hello All, Great feedback. ESPO is able to provide all the polyurethane bushings including those for the AHB shackles as well as the U bolts (7/16"). The U bolts are not exactly the same as the factory ones (flattened curve), apparently the originals are now 'unobtainium'. But are the correct...
