Yeah, they are the ones; number twelves are the wheels and 13 and the caps I´m searching... We´re just waiting for the day someone decides our cars are old enough to be reproduced...

I´m looking to buy a set of these center caps. The cap is cone- shaped and doesn´t have any kind of text on it. Someone could try to post a photo of the rims with the caps to know what I´m talking about:) I bought the rims but did not think about the caps were missing.

Has anyone ever used/ heard someone used cylinder wall repair sleeves? I saw these things on Rockauto for about 10 bucks a piece, but I can´t help wondering how are these installed? I know that in tractors and large trucks the cylinders are totally replaceable, but in our cars as well?

Hi! Could you consider a separate deal for a foreigner? I´m interested about PS, AP and AC/alternator brackets only. You have AC compressor rear bracket as well?

By firm, I meant more of a harsh rather than solid, you know what I mean? Like, I understood that good shift is firm (as in it won´t slip between gears) and smooth (not feeling it shifts). Correct me if I´m too comfort- oriented:P

I don´t mean to hijack the thread, but didn´t want to start my own either as this is a problem with similar matter. I´ve got 318 with 4 BBL Holley economaster carb and 904. I´ve been trying to adjust the throttle rod as instructed on the service manuals, just loose the swivel bolt on side of...

I now have solved the problem: I got wrong instructions for assembling the rockers to the rocker shaft: mine were assembled as all the knuckles pointing forward on both banks. I red the service shop manual for guidance and it had a picture on the page that told me to assemble the most front...

I removed the valve cover and noticed that rocker arm shaft was not assembled correctly, the oil holes were pointing up. I re- assembled and started, everything works fine cold but when the engine is warm, the same type of metal- to metal ping continues on idle. Straight after I depress the...

It´s me again with my freshly rebuilt 318. Engine does everything alright, but over the engine sound, I clearly hear that there´s this metallic noise coming from somewhere inside the engine. I used a screwdriver to listen for an echo and I traced the sound to left rocker cover. The sound reminds...

The start pick- up is used during cranking when the computer enters into "start" mode. It gives the maximum amount of advance for about 1 minute from turning the key, trying to avoid engine stalls during warm- up period. If the coolant sensor tells the engine its warm enough, it lowers the warm...

I think that I can finally donate to the community with my knowledge about emissions and especially Lean burn and later Spark control. Lean burn was first launched in 1976 in Cordobas, then, later adopted into most of Chrysler Corp passenger cars. They changed the name from Lean burn to Spark...

I finally got the deal done and the rims are now mine! Nice bargain I think, 250 CAD for a set of original set of rims. I began to browse for paints to paint my engine with. I found the correct color codes from Mopar Performance but I can´t find instructions for their enamel spray paints: do...

Whew, finally found the rims again on Kijiji: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-tires-rims/strathcona-county/1979-dodge-aspen-r-t-plymouth-volare-road-runner-cast-aluminum-w/1056878652 the ad has been up for past two months, but I guess if he hasn´t removed the ad, they are still for sale...

Im sorry I have been off- line for few weeks greymouser. He doesn´t ship his tranny even inside his country... I´m still working with the Canadian lad for his 727, I was called back in the army for some re-education, just in case so I couldn´t have time to deal with hobbies. I haven´t forgot on...

Hello again! After a brief "vacation" off my Aspen I´ve been finally getting time to take the 1st photos of the ride as well as few pics of the space I do my car in, and the current 360 engine, where I found that theres a small slice missing. There is, as always, a few questions as well. The...
