    Carburetor for 1978 Chrysler New Yorker with 400 engine

    That was in 1982, so I don't remember the specifics. However, I went either 2 or 3 steps richer with both he jets and rods. It was a very worthwhile change at the time.

    Carburetor for 1978 Chrysler New Yorker with 400 engine

    When my Dad eliminated the Lean Burn system on his 1976 Dodge Royal Monaco in the early 1980's, I bought a Carter Strip Kit for a Thermoquad carburetor which contained parts to change the fuel/air mixture to get the best performance. I rebuilt the carb using larger jets and whatever else to...

    Converting lean burn to non-lean

    Which part? The Carter Strip Kit or the ignition kit? My uncle had a shop that sold some performance parts. I'm pretty sure he got the Carter Strip Kit. I'm guessing those no longer exist.

    Converting lean burn to non-lean

    I did it in 1982 to my Dad's 1976 Royal Monaco with a 400 in it. We used the Direct Connection electronic conversion kit. I bought a Carter Strip kit and rebuilt the Thermoquad carburetor with bigger jets, etc, to eliminate the lean condition. It made a very nice performance improvement too.

    Wollfen's 1969 Chrysler 300 Convertible

    The floormat is not factory. It's from Rubbermaid. I know that because my dad bought a set brand new back in the 60's for one of his cars. They've been in several cars since than and are now in my 1969 300 convertible. They last forever.

    For Sale Yikes... 67 mobile director $34K

    I thought that the dual snorkel air cleaner came with the dual exhaust option on an Imperial. The engine was still not the HP 440, but the rating was 360 HP with the air cleaner and exhaust.

    Why did you buy your classic Mopar??

    My first classic Mopar was a 1968 Imperial sedan in 1988. I wanted to get into classic cars and was looking mainly at 340 A-bodies and early 70's Chargers and Road Runners. These were all starting to take off in price, and I felt they were generally too expensive. At the time, I was taking...

    A bunch of questions from a new Canadian '77 Newport owner

    The Lean Burn Thermoquad carbs were really good performers. When eliminating the Lean Burn system, all that really needs done (from a carburetor standpoint) is to increase the jets by two sizes. What I'm not sure of is whether the parts are available to do that these days. In the old days...
