The jello stuff used in the egr timers would eventually melt and sag in the back where it's against the fire wall. I just repaired my original red timer (90 seconds). I found replacement jello on Amazon and it worked/looked great! Timer was tested, back on car and working fine. As far as the...

Are you talking about the round plastic item that's off the main drive arm???

Just did this entire swap. Will need drive shaft, shock plates w/rubber isolators as well as U-bolts for 8.25 as 7.25 are too small. Will need 8.25 brake backing plates if you don't have them. 7.25 parking brake cable, both sides fits as well. I kept the stock leaf's but replaced ALL bushings...

Neighbor just did this swap on a 86 New Yorker. Early b-body rear, e-body leaf springs and front shackles. needed a couple of fat washers in the shackles but it all bolted right in, no forcing of assembly..... did need new drive shaft.

Update on ECM's. There are only two companies that the auto stores sell regarding re-man ECM's. BSE(blue streak electronics) and Cardone. These ARE the only two companies aside from a couple of independent shops that might have one. Cardone is more expensive than the BSE units. Cardone is on car...

I'm looking into replacing my ECM. Not many companies handle these anymore. Prices all over as well. From $100 to $400 !! Seems like Cardone and Blue Streak Electronics are the two that pop up the most, but there's a couple of vendors I'd never heard of that work on these but they are the really...

Found a very loose air pump belt that seemed to calm down vibration. 2 bbl carb, very easy. When I hold a high RPM and observe pressure gauge, needle fluctuates from 4lbs down to 2lbs the back up to 4lbs. I'm assuming that the carb a higher RPM's is dumping more fuel and the pump is responding...

OK,.....a better description: My car is a 77 LeBaron, CA car. There are three steel lines under car,... to and from tank. Line 1. This line usually 3/8", comes directly from the sending unit which supplies fuel directly to the fuel pump. Line 2. This line is a fuel return line to tank from the...

Thanks for the replies. After checking fuel system, looks more like it be may be in that area. I hooked up a fuel press gauge and needle was all over the place. Raised rpm and dropped to around 3lbs. Everything had previously been gone through or replaced. I couldn't help notice when I removed...

You cannot blow air back through the supply line??? I had just checked my supply line. And that's what I did. Disconnected the supply line to the pump, put a clear line in place, about 3' long and blew through it as well as sucking on it slightly until I saw fuel in the clear line. All clear...

Yes,... there are check procedures for components. But I know from past problems, when you're driving and the engine flat dies out, there's not much that'll do that except the ECM. Since new, probably gone through 5 ECM's including the one on car now. The ECMs are getting a bit more difficult...

Rollover valve would be a good place to look. I doubt the gas cap. There's a carb vent line that goes to the charcoal canister. Find the line on the top of the canister labeled tank. You should be able to blow through it back towards tank. There's also a return line on the fuel filter that...

I 'd like to hear from those who've had the lean burn control module fail and what symptoms you experienced along the way if any. The earlier versions, 76-80 had electrical fail issues, and I know in the 80's they seemed to have sorted them out. I had recently gone through my 77 LeBaron and it...

There were seals that were spilt in half that were in pieces as well. Once the springs were removed the seals that were still on the stems, lifted right off due to there hardened and split condition. They were the original 77 seals. I knew they'd been leaking for some time.

My 77 LeBaron has a chrome strip running along the top of each door next to window(2dr coupe). I need to remove passenger side as about in the middle, there is a dent I would like to remove. There's a retaining nut at the rear of strip you can get off with a wrench. The strip, once nut is off...
