    R body wipers

    I'd really like to get the wipers working on my Gran Fury so I can drive it without worrying about the weather, but the wiper blades are some obscure trico thing that I don't think can be easily replaced. It looks like it requires inserts. I've got some inserts for it but they're old and...

    Fuel gauge repair

    The fuel gauge has been acting up in my gran fury, it will stop working for a while and I took the gauge bezel off and wiggle it around and it goes to working again. Recently it stopped working altogether, I measured the continuity and there is none. I ordered a cluster out of a Newport on eBay...

    Glowing Red Catalyst

    I got home tonight and opened my hood to check on the engine and the entire engine bay was bathed in glowing red light from the pre-catalyst thing under the exhaust manifold. The actual catalytic converter itself has been removed but I left the pre-cat or whatever it is in place. For some reason...

    New Aspen Leaf Springs

    Cheap slant six radiator alternative

    It was about time to change my radiator, it hasn't been touched since 1980 and it developed a leak, so I went shopping for radiators and the only one guaranteed as a direct fit was over $250 on rock auto. Being somewhat of a miser, I found a dirt cheap mustang radiator on ebay for $86, the...

    Fuel mileage dropping

    I've been keeping up with the fuel mileage on my Aspen since I started driving it and the last two times I've filled up the mileage has dropped off sharply. I checked the entire fuel system for leaks and there are none. The car went from getting about 16-18mpg in the city on regular gas now to...

    Spark control computer under dash

    Has anyone ever seen a spark control computer like this one? Usually the ESA/ELB computers were mounted on the side of the air cleaner, but in my '81 Gran Fury police car the computer is mounted under the dash on the driver's side near the parking brake. It seems like a really good idea, getting...

    VIN discrepancy advice

    I'm trying to get my grandpa's Aspen put in my name, but I've noticed a discrepancy on the title. There is an extraneous digit inserted into the sequence number at the end on the title, so it had 14 digits instead of 13. VIN on the car is standard but doesn't match. He bought the car brand new...

    1980 Aspen front bumper filler

    The front rubber/plastic/whatever filler piece that connects the front bumper to the grille on my Aspen fell apart after years of sitting in the elements. Does anyone make these or does anyone have one in good shape?
