The amplifier is for the EGR valve. All cars, trucks, civ or police had them. It's a diaphram valve that takes the weak ported vacuum signal from the carb, and opens to allow manifold vacuum to operate the EGR valve. Think of it like an electrical relay except it's for vacuum. There's also a...

Thought Ringle and '76 Aspen sounded darn familiar. That poor Coronet. I rode home from the dealership in that car when it had 5 miles on the odometer when I was 4 years old, with mom and little brother following in the '62 Fury.

I wouldn't be concerned with 20 psi at idle. Many years ago I had a '76 Ford Elite 351W that had 0 psi at idle, and 5 psi on the highway per factory gauge, verified with a mechanical test gauge. Ran like a Swiss watch, never so much as a tick. I put 40K on it, and am sure it went many more after...

For reference.

In the mid to late '90's I had an '81 D150 with a stock 318. Only mod was dual exhaust (2.25") with the Super Dynomax mufflers, and it sounded excellent. Not that loud, just a smooth deep "roar" with stock manifolds. JMO, for street use, shorty headers are the best way to go vs. long tube. Much...

DM sent.

Exterior color: Brown. Funny looking brown, lol.

My knees aren't to that point yet. At least it wasn't AS hot and humid for the show. Low 80's is better than the mid 90's (and tropical to oppresive humidity) of the days before and since the show, lol.

Did you by chance get what was left of a VERY rusty '68 Coronet from me about 4 or 5 years ago, that was my dad's??? Sorry, don't have a dash panel.

We decided not to go anyways. I retired 3 years ago after 40 years as an auto tech (62 now), and that job isn't exactly friendly to your body. My knees (and feet, hips.....) don't enjoy walking long distances anymore, such as wandering around acres and acres of cars and swap spaces. It sucks...

What year and model? I know where Ringle is :)

I remember when Iola was one day, and you could walk the entire show and swap fields in 1/2 a day. First time was 1977, when I was 13 years old. Hate to admit, haven't been there since the mid '90's. We MIGHT go down Saturday, as spectators. If so, we'll look for a blue Mirada. Iola is only...

It would be a C-body. Different than the later non- full frame C-bodies of course. Nice car!

Going by your description, my first thought is a rusted through core plug (some call it a freeze plug). There is a pipe plug on each side of the block for draining, but those aren't going to leak.

Just so you're aware, the o.p. hasn't been on this site for almost 9 years.

They have it backwards. Odd is left, even is right. Of course that doesn't apply to numbers without a dash. Thank you Mr. Obvious, right? LOL

The last p/n digit 4 means right side, 5 means left. The 1st 6 digits remain the same and 7th digit will be one or the other. All Mopar numbers with a dash are the same thing. Even is right, odd is for the left side.

I agree.

They aren't really repairable. Best is to replace it with a good latch. You'll probably need a hand impact driver to get the screws broke loose. If you're not familiar, you use the correct size phillips bit and hit the end of the tool with a hammer.

Ooh, leg burners, lol Way "back in the day", a friend of mine had a '70 Challenger with side pipes. Had to be really careful getting in or out of the car. Learned that while wearing shorts one night.

Not really what you're looking for, but my fronts are 15x7 with 4.5" backspace and 235/60-15. Rear axle isn't stock (15x8 5.5" back space). Wheels are only aftermarket by being repops.

That's pretty much exactly what my Aspen weighs. Last it was weighed, 3.980 lbs with full tank of fuel.

You need to check ball joints at ride height, not hanging. What I mean is, jack it up on the lower control arm (if you didn't that is). At full "droop" joints can seem fine and be loose at ride height. Wheel bearings should have slight play when cold. That's so they aren't too tight after...

Rollover valve goes in the vent line. Maybe a pic from the service manual will help a little? My car has the valve in the top of the tank. I'll try to see if I can get some decent pics of the e‐brake today, unless someone beats me to it.

You shouldn't eliminate the roll over valve. It has nothing to do with the fuel supply line. It's there to keep liquid fuel from leaking out the vent line in case of, well, a rollover. If the tank vent system is plugged, it's a 99.9% chance it's not caused by the valve, which on your car is in...
