Welcome from Apex, NC. Beautiful cars. Love the NASCAR look. Is that a Magnum in the background?

OK, thanks.

OK, thanks. Also, it appears to have been repainted. What ignition and exhaust does it have? Do you know anything about the 360? It's probably a replacement engine because I don't believe '82 Miradas came with a 360. A picture of the engine stamping at the front of the block and of the data...

Wow, great looking car. 727 or 904 transmission? 8 1/4 diff? What gears? Sure-Grip? Some underside photos would be nice. I have an '81 Mirada myself.

Choke opening too slowly?

Try shimming the pressure relief valve spring in the pump. Look at Mopar Action's "Pump It Down" article by R. Ehrenberg.

There is an 1987 5th Avenue at the LKQ in Raleigh, NC. Actually, I think it's a Clayton , NC address. Engine is already taken as well as the headliner. White with dark blue interior.

Hey, you said you were very mechanically inclined. Don't be afraid of that tranny. I realize you already have it repaired and that is fine. But, in case you get in the position where you need to teardown and overhaul a Torqueflite... do it. You will need: A clean, I mean clean, workbench. A good...

I"m sure you have been checking Craigslist. Did you see the red one in Cookeville, TN? rare, rare dodge

Your welcome. I made an error with the original post. The brakes came off a Jeep ZJ. Went to the local U-Pull salvage yard. There were 3 or 4 candidates there. Shouldn't be too hard to find one. If I can find the original article I'll post a link.

In case someone is contemplating a rear disc conversion, thought I throw this out to y'all. Somewhere, FMJ maybe?, there was an article about rear disc brake conversion for the 8 1/4" rear axle. We converted to rear disc brakes on the '81 Mirada using the parts from a Jeep XJ. This was about 2...

The Conti. kit does unbolt. Looked fairly easy to remove. The car itself does not appear to be altered to accept the Continental kit.

I went and actually looked at this car: http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/5069229162.html The car is solid and well taken care of. Interior is in very good condition,dash not cracked. Car came from South Carolina many years ago. No rust blistering that I could find anywhere on the car. Solid...
