Hey Nytro, glad to see you back!

Mopar is fine with me, and I am sure most of use have some horror stories about off loading previous cars. Like the '55 Chevy Bel Air 2 dr., that I pulled the 265/powerglide and dropped in a 283/220 horse with a close ratio 3 speed out of a '60 Corvette. I did a ton of work on that car and sold it in 1971 for a little less than a grand. Man, I don't like to think about that one!

Welcome back! And thanks for the great advise on Adam Pitale. Great guy, great products! Zaino no more!

Thanks for all the kind words. I forgot what it was like to have a Mopar. Noticed a small oil leak a few minutes ago. It was red fluid, I looked at my wife and said pitman arm seal. Jacked it up and sure enough the steering box is leaking, very common on these cars. I can't wait to get the seals and get my hands dirty, been a long time, I mean both my Vettes very rarely needed work. Can't wait to break in the motor and get on it. hehehehehe

Best of luck with it! We had a Dodge Charger back in the old days. Don't be a stranger around here, though

This isn't my first Mopar as I had a 1971 Cuda 440 six pack that I sold in 1984 with only 18,000 miles, boy was I dumb then.

I'm still gonna visit here regularly cause I still have some knowledge about Vettes unless I get branded as a traitor. I wonder am I now exempt from any Tampa Bay Sunday Vette cruises in my 67 GTX with you people ?

Nothing like a Big Block Mopar

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-H-H-H-H !!!!!
$2.60 ish a gallon, and them there's a LOT of ponies to be feedin! I think that I'd be VERY light on the right pedal.........., ex....cept for "special occasions" and I think that we all know what that means! Nice lookin ride. Hope you enjoy the hell out of it!
