Yeah, absolutely agree with this! Sure, you could patch it up with plastic stuff, but after a few years it'll come apart.

I was going to post this in a separate thread, but seeing as I had already started this one (on the same topic) I figured I would just tack this on. So I have been looking at the overall ride height (at the back) of my Coupe, and really getting that thing about 1" lower would be nice. That in...

So the weird part to me - which is what I have been thinking all along in this thread - is that I have never actually seen a set of F/J/M-body leaf springs that actually extend the shackle back so far that is hits the dead-stop bar! That would just seem like the leaf spring is too long...

For what it's worth, may I suggest it is all about this ROD in the picture...

Welcome to the forum! As you probably might have already realized, the T-top stuff in particular is probably best classified as made of "un-obtainium"...however, this here is probably the best place to connect with if you are looking for such a part!

Damn man, that's a sharp ride you put together!!! Nice....

Welcome to the forum...aha, some good ol' Dippy.org crowd there!!! (and here LOL)

Man, doesn't that feel soooo good when things are starting to come together to "make the car"??? Nice work!

The police/fleet vehicles normally used the heavier (larger) versions of parts. For example: 1) Tie-Rods - 9/16" for standard - 11/16" for police/fleet (TRW: ES355L & ES352R rod ends, ES440S sleeve) You can still get the hard parts. 2) Sway Bars - 7/8" for standard - 1-1/8" for police/fleet...

@prowler ...buddy, this is killing me...I MUST KNOW!!! (LOL)

...and this is a FACTORY setup??? Actual part, or a service tool...because yeah, I too would love to see a pic of this "thing"!!!

LeanBurn was the Chrysler/Mopar updated ignition system that replaced the transistor based ECU units. Basically the LeanBurn (LB for short) is a plastic box typically attached to the side of the air filter housing (though not always AFAIK). It contained an electornic circuit board made up of...

So I always wondered, and perhaps I simply missed the obvious, but what exactly was the reason for Mopar using different mounts? I mean externally isn't the block casting (not the machining) basically the same thing everywher else?

Was this a LeanBurn car that was converted to a standard electronic ignition? I ask b/c in that one photo you are holding a 10-pin plug that very much looks like harness plug for the LB computer, w/o which the car won't run. So does the car run now, or it hasn't even been started since it got...

Welcome to the forum! Your ride is the 2dr. version of the 4dr. family car that started my "love affair" with the M-bodies...LOL...many many years ago! Happy to have you here...ask questions, go slow (at first lol) as you get to know the car and are trying to figure things out. Try to avoid...

I can't remember, but do you have access to the FSM? If YES, look up 'Brake System Bleeding Procedures' in CH5. Specifically, look at the Hold Off valve mention and just check that out to see if for some reason maybe the way it's currently positioned happens to be blocking off the pressure...

Duke5A's advice is pretty sound in this respect. Most of the time by the time you add up all those individual pieces together you end up paying more. Meanwhile, buying a kit at least removes the possibility of "oops, these two things no longer match/can't be made to work together". Regarding...

LOL...oh yeah, I know, that's why my response was so purposefully over-the-top deffensive!!! For the record: I'm a WIX filter guy...all our family rides get these, filter quality still seems alright although I am finding some of the synthetic media filters 'out-of-stock' these days (primiarly...

Your vehicle should have a build sheet located somewhere on the inside. Typically these woudl have been stuck under the seat or perhaps the carpet itself. That's basically a detailed listing of all the options that were attached to the VIN. The other option is to find the fender-tag, that's...

Guys! Alright...I understood everything you all responded with...what still doesn't jive with me is the notion (juding by the PartsBook descriptions) of the 4014704/5 stuff not being labeled 'HD', yeah? My thinking (perhaps based on my missunderstanding though?) was that the HD stuff would by...

LOL...good point, and yeah that was indeed a FRAM filter that lasted all of an hour or so...literally break-in only. ...hey, that was like 15 yrs. ago...I was young...foolish...didn't know any better alright now???!!!

Could be...although to be sure, I have always heard (lol, heck, I've never held the wide shackle frame mounts in my hands) that these were optioned on M-body cars as well and typically were part of the HD/FLEET configuration. Just to be clear, here are a couple of saved pics I have of what...

Hi Everyone! I'm trying to decipher my '80, '81 and '82 parts book information to determine which were the valid combinations of HD/FLEET wide rear shackle frame mounts AND sway bar installation. As best as I can tell it would appear that you could NOT order a rear sway bar if you ordered the...

So do you need the wiring schematics to trace through it all and sort it out? I have my 1980 stuff here that I'll happily scan for you...if that helps???

Not 100% sure on this, but I thought the F/M/J-body stuff was pretty much a like-for-like bolt-in, meaning: if you have a tilt column, you can pretty much replace with a tilt column from any other rides, same for straight stuff. Electricals on the other hand are a tad different...things such...
