Rust in quarters...what would be worth mentioning is NO rust in the quarters. I think rusty quarters was standard equipment.
When we drove them before they were ten years old they were rusty, both Bs and Cs.
The arm rest looks to me on my small phone screen that it is not just missing but may have been torn off, with more damage than meets the eye.
Just listing the obvious problems.
From what is visible the car seems to have good bones.
R arm rest gone. Console lock gone.
I wonder what it looks like under the hood...and underneath.
Looks like the one I didn't buy back in about 78...it was a 426....doh!
So, when will the question be answered?
What is the factory determined red line for a 78 440?
As it came from the factory, where would Chrysler mark the tach?
Not where you could spin it to depending on x, y or z.
Where would the tach be marked on a factory unit if it had one?
Cam Break-in was high idle of 2000 RPM for 20 minutes. Reason for high idling is to heat up and temper the cam & lifters.
Huh? The factory doesn't heat up and temper their materials?
That's not a safe situation. If it gets hot enough to do that at home, just think what it would be like in traffic on a 95° day.
This sounds like a master cylinder that needs repair.
It only identified the ship.
Your commentary said it is the only remaining ship from WW I, which is incorrect.
Its okay to make a mistake. We won't look down on ya for it.
