Was driving my '87 Fifth Avenue earlier tonight. Had radio on and then decided to play a cassette on the cassette player. Cassette went in and nothing happened. Hit 'eject' button numerous times but no ejection. No cassette playing and no radio either. Turned power on and off a number of times...

Working on my '87 5th Avenue. Yesterday discovered manifold vacuum pressure at 15 pounds of mercury. A tad low. Been suggested to me to replace soft vacuum hoses. Ok. So which brand of hose with an inner diameter of 3mm or 3/16" should I try? The outside dimension is 8mm or 5/16". Thoughts?

I've a 1987 5th Avenue, with lean burn gear still attached and working (I hope). Owned since last November. Car has about 101000 miles on it. No issues until about 2 weeks ago when it started idling very rough. The car really shakes. I replaced distributor cap and rotor and plug wires this...

I bought a '87 Fifth Ave last November. I see an '88 Fifth Ave for sale locally for half the price. Was contemplating buying the '88 for a parts car. Ad does say it drives. Is there enough common parts between the two to make it worth the effort? Thoughts? Glenn

Look what followed me home today! A 1987 Chrysler 5th Avenue! Guess I'll be learning about the 'lean burn'!

Been a while since I've posted any pictures on any of Joey's forums. I forget. Can I load pictures right to this website from my digital camera? Or do I need a 3rd party host? Glenn

Am checking out a 1987 5th Avenue. During the 80's which model was top of the line for Chrysler? I have in my head either New Yorker or 5th Avenue, but I really don't know? Thoughts? Glenn

Looking at a 1987 5th Avenue for sale about 10 miles from my home today. While checking things out to see what worked and what didn't I discovered the driver wiper worked but the passenger side didn't move at all. The owner and I opened the hood, pulled off the rubber screen near the firewall to...

Looking at an 1987 5th Avenue tomorrow. Did see it today but a rotted fuel hose started leaking. Owner fixed it and I'm going back tomorrow to look at it again and try a test drive. It had been sitting for about four weeks. Started right up. There is a small travel bag in the trunk filled with...

Looking at a 1989 New Yorker. What designation would a 1989 Chrysler New Yorker be? C body? M body? F Body? Checking online search I find it could be a K or C body.

Would a 1985 Dodge Diplomat 4-dr sedan necessarily have a lean burn set-up? V8, PS, PB. Glenn

Would a 1976 Plymouth Volare 4-dr sedan necessarily have a lean burn set-up? Slant 6 BTW. Glenn

I looked at a K-body today. I know this is a FJM body forum. I hope someone may have a little experience with K-cars because I'm not having any luck with online searches. The K-body forum I checked into is just about dead. I looked at a 1982 Chrysler Town and Country station wagon today (K-body...

Was thinking of looking at an 1983 New Yorker 5th Avenue Edition over the weekend locally. V-8, just over 100K miles wise. Looks to be in fair shape. Wondering about the engine. No computer to hook up a code reader right? So if I want to check the compression what do I need to get? What kind of...

Is know this is a little outside the bounds of this forum but I figured some of you would know the answer. I asked this question over on K Car Club Forum but no response. May go look at a 1987 Dodge Aries (K body platform). Would it have a connection for a OBD code reader? Yes or no? Just...

Looking at 1978 Dodge Aspen station wagon on Craigslist. One of the things the seller mentions that is not working is the "heater blower". Could be a bad fan motor or maybe a bad heater core or both. Never owned a 'F' body. Are fan motors and/or heater cores for this car hard to find? Wouldn't...

Have owned A bodies and a C body. Looking at something in the 80's. Was wondering if 80's FMJ bodies were set up with computers so one could plug in a code reader? I don't know so I thought I'd ask you all! Glenn

So would a 1988 Chrysler New Yorker Landau be a M body? May go look at one. Looks to be in good condition. Electronic odometer shows 77,000 miles. 3.3 liter with AT, power everything. Glenn

Came across a new add on Craigslist this morning for a 1986 Chrysler Lebaron Town & Country Wagon. Seems to be in good shape except for a blown head gasket. Is that something to be avoided? If water is seeping into the block will that ruin the block? Or does it all depend on how long the gasket...

Would a Chrysler New Yorker from the mid to late 1980's be considered a 'M' body? Glenn

Would a Plymouth Horizon be welcome here at the FMJ Bodies Only website? I think it's an 'L' body, but am looking at some for sale here in the Puget Sound area. Or is there an 'L' body forum somewhere's? Glenn

Been sorta lurking here. I own an 'A' Body and I have a 'C' Body. Been looking at FMJ bodies on Craigslist here in the Puget Sound area, which has me wondering if I pick up a Volare and/or a Diplomat will I have any luck finding parts for them! Looking for parts for the Monaco can be a chore...
