Oh yeah I know that Chilton did not provide much of a detail in regards to the front end. I have looked the tie rod bushings are shot as well as the lower and upper ball joint seals, All are either cracked and or dry rotted. The control arm looks like it is okay as well as the idler arm. Is what...

I have 4 Grand Babies as well as a Wife and just had a $17,000 Roof put on the house so I do not have a issue skinning the cat when if at all possible lol Will check them out. Thanks for sharing the information.

Yeah I know, I have been able to locate some bushing but not all of them. Looks like Firm Feel has a lot there to offer so will check them out, Not sure if I wanna spend the bones for what they have though. I am also gonna change the upper and lower ball joints. Am I understanding the kit runs...

The toe is out of Alignment, Gonna get some new tires and have the Alignment Re Aligned correctly. Also will replace all bushings and go from there. Also a lot of information here for those who care to learn. Thank You Front-End, Thrust Angle and Four-Wheel Alignment The different types of...

I recently noticed that my front tires were showing wear on the outer edge on both tires in the front, The tires were new not anymore they are showing metal as well so they are pretty much shot. Anyways I got under the Aspen and was trying to see how many grease fittings that this vehicle has...

Got up this morning and noticed now the fuel filter is holding gas just find almost full. I guess I can get a little jug and disconnect the line to make sure that the gas is pumping from the fuel pump also itself. Good thing is at least the gas in the fuel filter is not draining back like it was...

On the canister there is three ports. The one that says carb is capped off and always has been since I have owned the car. So don't know if that would be a problem think I have had the aspen a few years now.

I guess I will be installing a electric fuel pump was hoping not to half too, Would like to keep the mechanics of the vehicle original as possible. I do know this is not always possible. Had a few minutes to mess with it some more today. Cranked it today and noticed still no gas making it to the...

Took the 1977 Dodge Aspen 2 Door Coupe out last week got about 1 mile down the road and she shut down. I was able to get it off the road in a busy intersection thank god. Popped the hood and noticed that the clear fuel filter did not have any gas in it. Called the collectors insurance for a flat...

One of these days I plan on rebuilding the engine but till she dies I wont. Could be awhile or who...

Been looking online for awhile cant seem to find any information anywhere not sure if I am wording what I am looking for correctly or not so asking here. Today I noticed that I am losing about 2 quarts when driving in town glad the oil sending unit is working are I would of not known that I was...

Thanks for the feed back excuse the late response my life stays pretty busy these days. The carb has been rebuilt and all fuel lines replaced. Set the air and fuel mixture screws both at 2 1/2 turns out also and it seems pretty good. Issue has been fixed. Thank You

Some new I candy of the Aspen. Thank You

The fuel pump is working. I am now getting fuel to the fuel filter and to the carb now. I also pulled back the throttle and choke cable and I can see two streams of gas filling the carb. I tried to adjust the idle screw and fast idle and it ran for awhile then shut off. The carb is getting gas...

Well after doing the easter egg thingy with the grand babies today I had some more time to look at the issues with the aspen. Took lines off and blew compressed air thru them and replaced them now the inline is getting gas to the fuel pump. To make it short the Carburetor is shot. The fuel pump...

Well the fuel pump Advance had this morning was just like the original pump that went bad. The lever was correct and a exact match. The pump still is not getting any gas. I pulled it out again to see if the cam lobe was hitting the fuel pump as it is suppose to and there are marks on the fuel...

I went to Auto zone and told them the one they sold me I didn't think the lever was long enough. I also asked them why is it one year they have nothing for a 1977 and this year they do. I mean of course we all want original NOS parts when we are tinkering with our cars but finding those parts...

I went ahead and put the old one back on to see if it would work and no gas is making it to the fuel pump at all even with the old one now. I also tried some air in the gas tank to try to force some gas to make it to the fuel pump still no gas. Car was running great up till now so I don't really...

Recently replaced my manual fuel pump in my Aspen 2 Door Coupe because it had a hair line crack around the fuel line fitting. Now the fuel lines are not getting any fuel at all bone dry running from the fuel pump and from the fuel pump to the fuel filter to the carb also all bone dry. Any ideas...

So last year the wife's daughter was needing a vehicle for school and work. I was like okay I will get her something dependable. Decided to get her a Nissan Altima with low miles. Over the weekend she decided to come by to visit with her mother for awhile. Well as always I figured I would go...

For that very reason I wont take any of my vehicles and have them serviced anymore I do my own. Sometimes even if you only hand tighten as they recommend amazing what heat can really do to a filter seal after awhile and then some of those teenagers working at those lube places tend to not know...

Took a little sand paper and ruffed the connectors up a little. I still need to install my rear speakers. Sounds pretty good now he he :D

Noticed today driving the aspen I get quite a bit of static in all stations. Pulled the radio out to see if the ground strap was tight and it was. I also checked to see if the plugs were secured tightly and they both were. The Antenna appeared normal as well. Anyone else have this kind of issue...

We have many here that drive those high dollar rides and cant see worth a crap here. Not to be a azz downing anyone but the day that I cant see anymore I wont be driving. I will have someone else drive me. We were at the local Dollar Store awhile back I was getting some beef jerky and there was...

Congrats. I am glad that we don't have that emissions here or a inspection in Crossville TN but I have lived in other cities that did and boy did it suck. Half to have a converter and so on. I guess just away for some cities or states to make even more money off of hard working citizens that...
