Yes that's correct

Hey all, I have a "civilian" 85-mph speedometer and fuel gauge cluster out of an '88 5th Ave that was converted to the 125 mph cop speedo. Looking for $40+shipping? Located in Fort Collins, CO 80524.

Bump, four months later these are still for sale; still have both working computers and the original air cleaner assembly.

Hughes Engines makes a Magnum spring retainer and valve springs that are good up to at least .550" lift. I used them in my engine, measured out around .560" I think from bottom of retainer to top of valve stem seal. My heads weren't machined either.

Oops my mistake Bud... would be useful to note the location lol. Alright I'll set asking price at $30 for either of the units alone, or $50 for the entire air cleaner assembly with the computer, plus shipping (depends on your location). The air cleaner also has the original cold air and hot...

Oookay then... these work?

Hey all, so I recently sold my '88 Fifth Avenue which I had converted to 4-bbl and lean-burn delete. I now have the computer that was on the car when I did the conversion and still worked perfectly when pulled, I also have a spare computer that was given to me by the previous owner as a...

I think I know the ones you're talking about, always saw them in the gasket sets I got for small blocks but could never figure out what the heck they were for. I guess I'll hang onto them!

Well well, it's been relisted for $3,199... LOL Chrysler 318 engine LONG BLOCK With Accessories | eBay

Price lowered to $1800

Man it's just one thing after another for you! You're definitely a trooper to be putting up with all this BS living where parts and service for these cars isn't all over the place. Keep up the great detective work!

I've found the correct-size u-joint u-bolts in the "Miscellaneous/HELP" section of the auto parts store, not sure how it is in NZ but there aren't that many different sizes of u-joints to begin with. The u-bolts are stronger because they act a bit like a spring as you tighten down the holding...

Well the time has come to sell my 1988 Fifth Avenue with the original 318, 130,000 miles. Rust-free (except for minor surface rust on trunk lid) car which spent most of its life in Las Vegas since new and was well taken care of. Has all the luxury power features that came standard on these cars...

Here's my idea: Get a nice-running 5.2L Magnum on Craigslist, they go for $100-200 around here and check the short block for cylinder bore wear, usually there will be little to none if it was at least half taken-care-of. Have the heads checked for cracks between valve seats, if no cracks do a...

The main reason for switching to SAE net HP was to standardize the industry ratings so car companies couldn't just list whatever HP they felt like which had been done previously with gross ratings. Like Aspen500 said there is no conversion factor because A) different accessories/fans drew...
