    Lean burn control modules

    If you're still running the original carburetor, I wonder if you're having an issue with the bowl vent solenoid Are you in park when you're doing that? Could be you're beating up the torque converter

    Coolant leak

    I've done this, where I could have sworn I torqued a bolt right, but because it was hard to reach, I didn't get the right sweeping motion of the torque wrench and the "click" didn't happen until after it well over torqued

    Coolant leak

    Could be weeping out of the head gasket. The head gasket doesn't need to fail dramatically. Have you done any work, like replaced an intake? If it's not the heater core leaking onto the engine, I'd lean towards head gasket

    Lean burn control modules

    A bad vacuum leak would do a lot of what you're describing. On a 40+ year old car they can be a series of cracks on a vaccum line, quite innocuous. Early on with my car, I had a bad choke thermostat and a bad choke pull off, so the choke would slam shut while stopped, killing the car. I ended...

    Lean burn control modules

    I'm still running the lean burn while I build a 360 to replace the whole thing. If you have a service manual for your year, go through the diagnostic procedures. There are a lot of things to change/fix before you get to replacing the computer module. In my case, there was still more wrong...

    Good for parts is what I figure. That's the start of a nice FMJ salvage operation

    A Volare Collection, 6 cars, $500 British Columbia Facebook

    Unclear if it's $500/car or $500 for the lot, it's only listed in the Plymouth Volare & Dodge Aspen & M body enthusiast group They're in the middle of nowhere so I'm going to assume the first guy with a trailer gets whatever he wants at almost whatever price he wants @Ash_Whole this is...

    Window Seals

    Nobody is making them for our cars. I had to get my window channel and belt molding out of an old Volare. You can buy a universal flocked weatherstripping and try and take some measurements off your old weatherstripping: https://www.crlaurence.com/products/brands/listing/C02F_AU The belt...

    Replacing Tail Light/Brake Light bulb sockets

    Mine came out of an 84 Lebaron in a junkyard. I think it was an 84. My car spent most of its life in Idaho/Utah/Arizona, so all the plastics were destroyed including the tail sockets But in NY that stuff survives while the sheet metal rots. I haven't had an issue since.

    will all 4 seats fit in a Dip?

    Did you get the power seat track? I wouldn't rely on just 1 manual seat track to hold that seat in place, especially in a collision

    will all 4 seats fit in a Dip?

    The benches only have the outside bolts I think. Hopefully you have the seat tracks for the seats you bought. The holes should be there, just plugged

    will all 4 seats fit in a Dip?

    It's underneath it. I think there's 3 stamped nuts holding the shield on. They're really thin and fragile
