Hello all,
Have not posted anything here for quite some time - there was not much to report, really. We just drove around without any issues. Did a winter run in December in between big snowstorms before Xmas. Chinook cleaned and dried the roads. So it was still a bit nippy, but dry.
Old Mopars can do ice-skating
A couple weeks ago Wife took the car a wee bit above 150 km/h indicated (about 95 mph in imperial money). Reported later the car was smooth as butter and very stable.
Yesterday I took the car to a car wash to remove the bug cemetery from the front. During the final wipe-off the wipers stopped midway, accompanied by a clunk from where the linkage is.
Further inspection at home revealed this. The left arm just fell off the motor, hence the clunk.
So I assume the 78 big cam disease struck me too.
As a permanent fix willing to go the 74-77 mod route.
Can some(C)body help out with the 74-77 donor parts? Actual parts, or pointers where to buy/source?
And finally - is there a way of putting the engine hood in a service position of a sort, old Mercedes-like? Like pulling both 'legs' forward past the notches and raising the hood at the same time?
Thanks a lot for all tips and answers.
