LMFAO. None of the domestic sedans out of the factory in the 80's were fast. Sounds like the kind of guy that dazzles people with bullshit.

I'm game. Dearborn isn't far from me. When will you be there? The 27th is a major US holiday, so I won't be able to meet that Thursday.

Dearborn as in Dearborn, Michigan?

Beside my Dad's car and my own there is another forum member here with it on his coupe. It's an expensive upgrade and usually it's only seen on project cars that get silly amounts of money thrown at them. If your car is strictly an all weather DD then Steer and Gear might be a better cheaper...

This is the kit you want: BAC Steering Box Conversion Kit - Large Sector 73-82 - Bergman Auto Craft I'm running this on my 5A and Dad has it on his Diplomat. You'll need a high pressure hose, also from Bergman.

I'm not trying to dog you, but you did ask for opinions and I am an aggressively opinionated individual, so...... I do the same thing. There are 'upgrades' on my car that my current self would talk my past self out of. At $650 tubular upper control arms would be one. I had already replaced...

I hope you like squeaks and creaks. Ask me how I know. If it's one thing I've learned is to always use rubber for control arms and springs. Poly is great for sway bars.

Correct, it's not impossible, nor is it even hard. Mechanically these cars are no harder to mod than an A body with much of the aftermarket support for A/B/C/E cars working on F/J/M. Your only hang up is sheet metal availability and if that scares you then keeping it OEM isn't going to make it...

All I see is rusty junk. Maybe I'm jaded, but what people ask for old parts now a days is just nuts. If you're keen on spending coin then just get HD Firm Feel shackle kit and use your existing mounts. The non-fleet mounts aren't exactly a point of weakness. I know the factory used the...

I've never known there to be an A38 Lebaron and the car next to it is painted fire department red with TRAFFIC on the side. They probably grabbed whatever M was in sight and dressed them up.

I WANT that crank shirt! Where!? lol.

I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too with this build and so far I think I've succeeded. It's mostly a street car and it needs to handle, but traction is also a consideration. Mono leaf springs ride rough and I stayed away from sliders because of the noise. Ground clearance isn't an issue...

I am NEVER going to be able to look at a baby shower invitation without smirking again.

Dad and I are running them with regular leaf packs. Is this still a street car? If it is I wouldn't go mono leaf.

I have brand new in the box voltage regulators if you need one. You can have it for the cost of the ride. If you change the color then to do it right you need to paint the jams, under hood/truck, everything. Gets to be very, very expensive.

That's got to be it. The core tubes are getting fatigued through vibration. The odds of all these radiators across multiple brands being bad just can't be it. The common denominator is that fan. First thing I would do is yank it out and power it up. If the balance is off you'll know it...

Does AI write this shit?

I've got nothing then. I was thinking electrolysis could have been eating the radiators. That is just an unimaginable string of bad luck to be having with all these radiators. How is the fan mounted to the radiator itself? If it is even the slightest bit out of balance it will put stress...

Where is the ground?

Are you running electric fans?

Dude, this sucks. Dad and I are still running our old Champion radiators without issue. I even had mine modified at a shop to move the inlet to other side for a big block when I swapped. A lot can happen with QC in a decade though. Did you use distilled water or tap water?

I didn't say it's a roller, only roller capable. Chrysler introduced 318 blocks with roller provisions in 1985. Would seem a bit silly to cast two different blocks after three years of production when the roller block is capable of running a flat tappet.

The block should be roller capable. You'll know if there are threaded pedestals down the center of the lifter galley. This is what holds the tappet retaining plate in place. The real bad epidemic of flat tappet cam failures has a lot to do with the shit machining on the crown of the lifters...

I like how you did your fender supports. I redid mine and decided to tie them together across the motor.

You need to talk an attorney. There are firms that specialize in this area of law and with it being that clients in this business are typically hard up for cash I would bet firms work on contingency (only get paid if you win). The bluer the state the better labor protection laws, typically...
