Hello from Ohio

[dm330]

Hi everyone, and thanks for allowing me to join. This is my 1988 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. With a little over 103,000 miles on it, it's in the shop having a front suspension rebuild and Holley 550-866 fuel injection system installed. Probably going to upgrade to an 8 1/4 rear end, but that will be later down the road, but I will post some pics and vids as soon as I get the car back.

Looks like the car has kept pretty well and apears to be in a good condition.

Welcome to the club!

Looks nice!

 

[dm330]

Thanks guys! The car is in good shape, but the lean burn connectors are shot. This is my 5th Fifth Avenue and I'm thinking the front seats were recovered, which is why they're looking a little flat. This is my second 88, and I've had an 86,87, and 82 models prior to acquiring this. My 87 was my favorite.

Welcome.....

I may have a 8.25 rear-end if interested...

 

[dm330]

How much for it? It depends on how much I have left over once I get the bill for all this other work, plus I wanted to enjoy the car a little before the next big job, but I'm open to maybe making a purchase if the price is right.

Nice ride. You going with the timing control too?

 

[dm330]

I am, and also having the timing chain and gears replaced. The car looked like only basic maintenance had been performed on it. The system will bolt right onto the stock intake manifold. He's also replacing the old cats with a straight pipe. I think it's going to be a pretty sweet ride once it's all finished, minus the soft carpet of the 82-87 model years.

Front suspension is being rebuilt too. Those components I ordered from Firm Feel. The rear I'll have done next year with the extra leaf spring and iso-delete.

You're going to like that Sniper setup. If you're just making a nice cruiser out of it give some thought to leaving the ISO setup in there. Would probably be cheaper.
