    SOLD 1977 Plymouth Volare Wagon

    Early 1977 Plymouth Volare Wagon. It is equipped with a pre-lean burn 318 and A904 transmission. The car sat out in the elements for over 20 years. The body needs a lot of help, it does have rust issues. However, I'm convinced the mileage is original as it reads almost 95,000. I've done quite a...

    Holden Similarities

    I guess thats how the Aussies advertised back in the days :eek: Amazing how similar the rear is to my Volare Wagon. I had a sudden wave of inspiration. A clone of the the 75 Holden as it appeared in the original mad max movie. :rolleyes: Probably won't do it, but seemed like an...

    9134S Thermoquad

    Purchased this carb for my engine swap. Without going into to much detail, I require a California emissions carb for 1978 and this is the best thing I could come up with. Any suggestions and help on rebuilding it is much appreciated. It seems to be missing a few components.

    Ported Vacuum Switchs

    My understanding is some of these are designed to open or close when the engine reaches operating temp. I would like to replace mine, but looking on various parts websites there seem to be a number to choose from. They vary according to temp at which they open or close. Not certain which ones...

    Okay, new thread. I don't suppose anyone can explain to me why....occasionally on cold mornings (which really isn't that cold, because I live in the OC Socal, its like constant 72 degrees almost year round) why my car idles at this high of rpm during warm up? In the picture, basically almost too...

    Engine Change in California Smog Car

    So I've done much research on this, since my old 318 mill as good as she runs doesn't really produce the ponies I'd like her too. Anyways, I have learned it is possible to upgrade a vehicles powerplant provided you follow certain criteria. One of these criteria is that you must use an engine...

    Pre 77 Wagon guys

    I have the "hump" gas tank and the filler neck is almost completely horizontal. Any of you have the problem of gas backing up in it? My car constantly leaks out the filler port when trying to fill up. I did pull the filler neck one time, to replace the grommet on the tank. It was pretty clear...

    My 77 Volare Wagon Progression. Slowly, but surely

    Bought the car in May of last year. When I found her, she was literally melting back into the Earth. Through some sense of mercy which I still don't fully understand :confused: perhaps because she was so cheap (only $250), I have saved the wagon from certain doom. It has in a way become my...

    Fuel Level Always Reads Empty

    1977 Plymouth Volare Wagon w/318. This has been an issue since I bought the car, as it sat for over 20 years and many of the systems have deteriorated.

    Power Window Transplant

    Anyone ever put power windows into a crank window car? I have a 77 Plymouth Volare Wagon and there is a 77 Diplomat 4 door car at a local junkyard with Power windows. My understanding is the doors will swap and I wonder if anyone has ever transplanted power windows before. This would be an...

    I'm curious about doing this. As my car does not have it, but I just came across an Aspen of the same year in a junkyard with all the components. Of course it is a /6 car and mine is a 318. Does anyone know if that makes a difference? Can anyone please post pics of their CC hardware under the...

    WANTED Need Proportioning Valve for 77 Volare

    I have a 77 Volare Wagon that has sat for twenty years. I'm currently going through the brake system. I have been unable to bleed it, lines are locked solid.

    Steering Column Question

    Okay, I have a 77 Volare Wagon and it has a non tilt column. I was considering getting a tilt column as I've seen a few on ebay. My question, is there any differences between a coupe column and a 4 door? Should I be looking out for a column from a specific body style and year? I know that...

    WANTED 77 Volare rear leaf springs

    Anyone know where to pick up a set of fresh leaf springs for a 77 Volare wagon? Or if there is a way you can interchange from another model? I've been sleuthing on the net and have come up short. The ones on my wagon look so shot, I think they tried to use some helper springs to keep her bottom up.
