    '78 Volare Wagon

    My latest acquisition, leaning tower of power "super six", A/C, power steering, power brakes and that's it! My favorite mint green metallic with darker green metallic interior. Call me crazy, but I prefer this over a loaded woodgrain wagon any day.

    Wacky heater fan noises

    Just picked up a '78 Volare wagon, slant six with A/C. The "squirrel cage" is making a loud vibrating sound when it's running. Also, hit the heat button, nothing comes out the floor, hit the A/C button, compressor comes on, still nothing blows out. I live in Florida, so this time of year, you...

    If anyone is on Facebook

    Here is a cool group for M body fans. Type in "The Mopar M-body fan group". A friend of mine just started it, but it's growing. I will also plug us there right now. I asked permission before posting this, so hopefully it's ok. Also for Mopar model car and diecast fans, check out my group "Mopars...

    Won't shift into reverse until througly warmed up!

    I've got this same problem. It started out by a delay then banging hard into reverse. Then it got worse. If you touched the gas at all in reverse or have to back up a slight hill, it will kick in and out and grind like hell. Sometimes no reverse at all! All three forward gears work nice an crisp...

    heater fan switch

    Got one guys, thanks. Parts store, 8 bucks. Replaced and it's working fine. The switch is no longer getting hot, so apparently there was a short in the switch some where.

    heater fan switch

    Need a new heater/AC fan switch for my Fifth. Have to wiggle it around a bit to get it to catch Hi speed, then the other day it heated up and started smoking, so I am assuming it's shot. Let me know if anyone has a good one, has a chrome knob. Thanks. Email me at realgone58@gmail.com

    Trade? Fifth for M body wagon

    Just a shot. I love the M body wagons. Anyone want to trade a clean driver waggie for a clean driver Fifth? Must be woodgrain delete though. No slant sixes.

    M body interior plastics

    I actually have some of the fabric left over from the previous owner who had the headliner done. I tried wrapping, couldn't get the contours to come out. I figured out you have to lay the Plasti-Dip heavy. I hit the A pillar trim again, and it came out great! Stuck it back in the car and it...

    What's all that white/grey dirty stuff on everyone's lawn in front of that pentastar?

    Diplomat parts cars

    I know it's been a while, but wondering if these cars are still there? I could use the interior plastics (A and B pillar trim, etc), and some decent rear wheel lip moldings.

    M body interior plastics

    All the cloth is peeling off my interior window trim in my Fifth. Took one A pillar trim out, peeled the cloth, tried everything from texture spray to Plasti-Dip. Everything looks horrible! At this point, I think it would be easier to find a Dippy/Gran Fury with grey interior trim and replace it...

    Lets see those M Bodies

    Love that '80 Volare you have. I had one just like it, same color and everything. Wish I still had it.

    Lets see those M Bodies

    Those are some good looking M coupes! Thanks for the compliments on my fifth. I really like those wheel covers on it too. They actually look like chrome rims. Captain Caravelle, just like you, the Fifth is the newest car I own too. I don't like anything new either, except the Challenger. Nothing...

    ZDDP motor oil

    Thanks guys. It's the roller 2-bbl "P" in the vin engine. I used regular Valvoline in it. It has 134,000 on it, but runs like it has 34,000 on it. On my other two cars, which are a '58 and a '61, I use the Valvoline Racing VR-1, which still has adequate ZDDP content for the flat tappets.

    Lets see those M Bodies

    She's looking better now. Finally found a set of '76 Yorker caps that look good on it. Also added some chrome metal splash guards. Getting there.

    Spark control computer

    Yes, 6280 feedback. Everything is working so far so good, but I may grab a dist and carb, and save up to get the Summit system, since I plan on keeping the car.

    Spark control computer

    Mine is the newer style like the one pictured at the bottom in the above pic. Can one use the Summit box without changing the stock distributor and carb?

    Spark control computer

    I was going to get it for a spare, but if you need it for your car to run, go ahead and grab it. Mine is doing fine so far.

    Choke staying closed too long

    It was the choke vacuum pulloff. I scored a new one for twelve bucks free shipping. It came the other day. Took the old one off, put it to my mouth and sucked on it. (I know that doesn't sound good) and nothing happened. New one, pulled the vac right in no problem. Even came with the correct S...
