I'm getting ready to purchase a oem/stock lockup torque converter and I'd like to get some suggestions before I stress out and buy one from a parts house. Thought about Precision of New Hampton, but I'm wondering if they have a clever sales pitch and a less that stellar product or they actually...

My 904, I believe is having a bit of trouble. It has always locked up almost as soon as the trans shifted to third, just cruising along. A week or so ago, I was on my way home from work and it did lock up, but I kinda goosed it to get going a bit better and the car shook HARD. Dash, steering...

I have Sylvania Zevo (?) 1157 LED brake lights. They have always been kinda dim, but I didn't realize how dim until we almost got rear ended while slowing down to pull into our driveway. The front turn signals are plenty bright, so I don't think it's a voltage problem. I had the same trouble...

My car is our attached garage. When I start it or run it for a while, I roll it out of the garage to keep the fumes out of the house. I pushed it out this past Sunday and noticed a very strange looking "part" on the floor where the car usually sits. I have no idea what it could be. It's 1 1/4"...

I'm trying to go through Mike's Carburetors to purchase a rebuild kit. Told them I needed one for a Carter BBD. They asked me what the part number on the carb was, so I sent them a pic of the passenger side fuel bowl. He says "That's not a BBD. The part number says it's a BB". I'm sure a lot of...

I have looked everywhere trying to find a new fuel sending unit and I can't find one! Don't really want to trust Ebay on this. Where can I get my grubby hands on one? From what Chrysler product can I order for that will bolt in and work the way it's supposed to? I can find tanks and straps...

I could be cruising along, car is running fine, and then it seems to die. Only thing is, it doesn't lose spark. Feels like putting the car in neutral. Doesn't rev. It always "starts" back up, but I don't have to restart it. Is everyone thoroughly confused yet? I know I am. This weekend was the...

I removed the alternator to have it tested. Tested good. Battery gauge is bouncing and all lights (exterior and interior) are pulsing at idle. I'm hoping that I have reconnected the wiring correctly. I'm not real worried about the battery to alt wire, but how about the blue and green? Are they...

I think everyone on the board knows what car I have, but for those who don't, I have a 1978 Chrysler LeBaron 2 door. I'm looking for a trunk carpet and spare tire cover. It doesn't matter to me if it came from a LeBaron or any other M body, as long as it is interchangable. Pictures are not of...

I found a bit of Sparkomatic nostalgia for myself and I've noticed that the input from the stereo has only positive lugs, no negatives. Would I connect all left negative wires to the desired left negative output posts and all right negatives to the desired right negative posts? The old booster...

I've finally gotten my car running well enough to start driving it places a little farther away. Thing is, if I go into a convenient store or shut it off for a minute or two, it's hard as hell to get it running good enough to get going. After I get it running, it's fine. I've replaced the fuel...

I've had to send my brake booster to have it rebuilt because NOBODY has one a new or reman for a four bolt master cylinder. I have reason to believe my brake light switch has gone bad. I cannot find a switch for a cruise controlled vehicle. Can I use one for a non cruise car? I never use cruise...

I'm looking to have new single exhaust put on the 'Baron. Leaning towards a Dynomax Super Turbo, but I'm not 100% sure about it. I don't care much for Flowmasters nor any kind of glasspack. Probably go with either 2" or 2 1/4" turbo style muffler with stock manifolds and factory tube routing...

I have an ungodly vacuum leak and I can't find it. I've tried carb cleaner, water in a spray bottle, and taking it to a garage for them to not to be able find it. I have one part that is not connected to anything. It has a two pronged electrical terminal and metal vacuum port on one end and two...

I'm wanting to run both an aftermarket oil pressure gauge and the factory warning light. I know I'll need an oil pressure switch and a brass tee for the manual oil line and the switch. I'm sorta confused about something in my ESM. What does the "S.C. #--" mean exactly? I've noticed it in quite a...

I'm going to be buying a carb and I was wondering how I can tell which brand -Holley or Carter- my car has. Lean burn, but it has been converted to electronic ignition.

I have an older JVC stereo that I'm installing in the LeBaron. I'd like to still be able to use the power antenna. How would I go about wiring it in? There's the wire on the stereo itself (blue wire with white tracer, tag says "remote power output for amp, EQ, and/or auto antenna"). Yellow wire...

I removed the rear deck speakers and I'm trying to figure out a better way than 3-4" machine screws ran through the package tray like the way they were. Can I use a u-nut to mount them from the bottom instead of straight through the package tray? (using pic as an example.)

I have reason to believe that my power window relay has gone bad. Using a test light, I'm getting power on the wire from the fuse box, but not on any of the three other terminals (red, black, or white/tan). The single terminal comes from the fuse box and the other three goes to the passenger's...

I bought Sylvania Zevo LEDs for the LeBaron, remembering that the incandescent brake lights are kinda tough to see at certain times of the day. I got home and pulled the old lights out and put the new ones in. Expecting to see a drastic change, I turned the headlights on and went back to see...

What exactly is a window lift safety relay and where can I find one if it's bad?

I have another newbie question. I'm used to swapping out 4x4 hub assemblies and FWD rotors. First time changing them out on a RWD. Do I need to install a bearing race on the outside between the actual bearing and rotor? Do I need to swap them both out? I do know I need to pack the bearings with...

I've been looking for a set of these things for a week now and I can't find any. Is there any that are compatible with my LeBaron's 10" drums? The picture isn't of the exact part, just for comparison.

I just got my calipers from Rock Auto today. I opened one box and there's two small bolts, two big and two small brackets, and even small rubber bands. This doesn't look like any type of brakes I've ever dealt with. What gives? Is it something I'll probably understand after I start taking stuff...

What type of clip holds the lower quarter panel trim on?
