I have had this book since shortly after it came out in the mid ninties. I still keep it handy for reference, especially the chapter by Galen Govier.

My brother had a 1972 Duster (318 auto) with the factory rear window blower. He got the car in the mid 1980s. The blower didn't stay there very long; he upgraded the radio, including a pair of 6"x9" speakers.

I never had any issues with driver comfort in my '88 Diplomat. It was much better for me than my '68 Barracuda that I had around the same time. The driver's door arm rest was too far forward and high; my left arm would go numb on long trips. A-bodies may be nice to look at, but I find the...

I had a similar problem on my '88 Diplomat (with a 318 & Quadrajet): main cat glowing bright red, air pump long since disconnected. It turned out the choke had failed (again) and it was running stinking rich (not opening all the way). Rochester used an electric element on this Q-jet and I had...

I would look into the possibility that when working on the ignition switch, the wire for the ignition switch lamp got pinched or grounded. It looks like you might be able to deactivate the lamp by yanking the time delay relay.

Given enough time and exposure, FMJ bodies will rot out like anything else. After sixteen Michigan winters, the rockers on my '88 Diplomat had rusted to the point where I couldn't use the sill jack to change tires anymore (although they looked okay from the outside). The first year (1976)...

1978 Dodge aspen 1978 Dodge aspen $5,500 Listed 12 weeks ago in Goshen, IN Runs good and is in fairly good shape for its age. It has the slant 6 engine and a 3 speed manual transmission. The gear shift is on the floor.

I had the same random issue on my 1988 Diplomat. I could usually cure it by disconnecting/reconnecting the terminal at the starter relay. You may need to clean the terminals at the block. Also check the wires at the starter. The critters chewed the insulation off the starter wiring.

It's sort of a "glass half full or half empty" perspective. We should be happy with the traffic that we do have, and I believe some people have actually been helped. Having spent some time on the more popular sites (B-bodies), I can attest that, with more people, it's more likely that innocuous...

Actually, my '88 Diplomat also had screws holding on the covers. It looked bad, but since the car was only five years old, I assumed it was factory.

The lock up feature is there just to increase fuel mileage. If the car drives okay otherwise, and the mileage is acceptable, then leave it as is.
