Checking to see if there is any interest here before I take it down to be scrapped. I'd hate to see it crushed when I know someone here would value it, either for the good parts on it, or even to throw a carb and ignition on and drive. All reasonable offers considered, I'm not selling for less...

Before. Basic lean burn, nothing fancy. First most obvious step, removed the air cleaner and computer, along with a bunch of vacuum lines. Carb off, holes stuffed with a rag to keep varmints and wayward nuts and bolts out. Also got rid of the old air pump hoses. This is the intended...

stalled today, wouldn't start. thought it was flooded let it sit a few hours, no luck, was going to try a cap full of gas out of the filter straight into the carb, but the line was bone dry. got a gas can dumped some in from that, would start. took the cover off the front of the carb and...

Monroe is offering a promotional where you get a $50 pre-paid visa card for buying 4 qualifying shocks from them. So I have a pair of "load assist" shocks for the backs, and "OESpectrum"s for the front. $104US exactly including shipping, so not bad I guess. I figure the springs on the load...

Chrysler New Yorker, Fifth Ave. Not bad if the miles are right.

https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/cto/5363302875.html 1983 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue (aka Chrysler New Yorker Turbo) in gorgeous condition. Classified as "antique". She's a smooth ride with ridiculously comfortable seats. So comfortable in fact, if you end up homeless this car could...

Since my 5th sat for a number of years before I bought it, and bucked like a stallion with a bee under the saddle, I pulled the carb off, tore it apart, and let it soak overnight in mineral spirits. Problem was I didn't have a big enough pan to submerge or properly. It was much improved, but...

My oil light has been coming on lately. Only when I'm braking or turning, it doesn't always do it, and it doesn't stay lit. Once I'm stopped it goes out, or when I get back on the gas. Oil pump starting to fail? (I should add I checked the level , it was right at the full mark)

Was looking at an old '73 cruiser boat on craigslist. Guy is only asking a grand for it, and it comes with a storage trailer. He said the previous owner left it out uncovered for a couple years, and the top wood has some dry rot, but the fiberglass hull is solid. He said the head(bathroom)...

I've been tossing this idea around with varying degrees of seriousness; pulling out my 318 LA and installing a 318/360 Magnum. Induction, injectors, sensors, wiring, computer and all. Also thinking about the overdrive trans to go with it (though maybe not at the same time). I've scouted out...

ebayed a Blaupunkt dvd/gps head-unit for the 5th. Had one of those feelings I couldn't quite place when I ordered it. Got it yesterday, soldered up the connections to the install harness, went out to stuff it in the dash... :confused: it's "double din" size, and the chrysler radios are...

yay! thinking if I should change the sending unit while I'm at it?

the short list; new windshield rearview mirror (maybe auto-dimming), gas tank (done), some new floats, radio (maybe, eventually), rear speakers (prefer 6x8s, if they'll fit), wood steering wheel (walnut grain, if I can find one), sequential turn signals (just for a laugh), subs/amps...

I found a listing for an engine computer off an 88 fifth ave at a junkyard about a half mile from my house for $25, in Grade "A" condition. If it's good, it should work on my 89, right?

I have little to no control over the hvac temp. the a/c works, the buttons all seem to function properly, I put a thermometer in one of my vents, and the temps are random. usually low, but sometimes 120*+. the Haynes manual wasn't too helpful. It shows a "typical" later model hvac unit with...

After seeing cap'n's exploits with his failing, I'm going to change mine. That and the check valve is gone, it couldn't hurt, cheap insurance anyway. My dumb question is, how can I tell if I need the one with the external oil cooler, or not?

I've thrown in the towel on my crossfire injected, hot rodded 406ci build attempt years ago. I was tossing around the idea of pulling the motor back out, sticking a carb on it and finding something else to put it in, but now that I've been looking at 390 mopar stroker kits, that's looking more...

318 motor - $750 (Wayland) "Motor and transmission completely rebuilt in 2003. Motor has 87,000 miles on it. The motor was built by bob bowman who builds for IHRA and the world of outlaw motor-sports. I have all the paperwork to everything that was done on the motor. To hear it run please...

I was going to reglue the headliner, but it was a hot mess of this grey, sticky, powdery, foam-like, stuff. I started vacuuming it up so the adhesive will have something to stick to, but I can't seem to get the overhead thing down. I found 2 of the screws, and what feels like a divet for...

how many ounces does the fifth ave hold? I did the conversion, put the oil in, the compressor started cycling on and off. I added a 12oz can of 134, and the compressor runs, the air blows cold, but there are bubbles in the sight glass. the kit came with 2 more 12oz cans.

said they could patch up the rust holes, and smooth out some of the other oones that aren't as bad, for $6-700 then I can ship it over to maaco for a $3-400 special that'll make it look 1000x better.

Just for asking if they had anything for Thermoquads. The first rude little button pusher didn't even have a clue what I was talking about, without trying to punch iin what car it was for into his terminal. I guess he didn't like it when I said it didn't matter. I tried to give him a couple...

the ebay claimed it was "New in the box, unopened" arrived with the seals broken, I guess that was why they were selling it cheap? Does look brand new condition. still has the tag on the back. I guess best case someone bought it, opened it, decided they didn't want it, returned...
