    Need HELP from the crew Please!

    From what I've seen over the years if was truly a "Special Order" there would be another tag on the rad support. My '79 300's vin begins with "SS" so it must be Super Special! I believe that the second letter in most of our vin numbers indicates trim or pricing level. My '67 LeBaron for example...

    Just a thought, Javier, how do you know that there isn't something wrong with the gauge or sender? Maybe your deliverability issues with the lean burn may also be affected by a bad temp sensor. Does the car vomit/spitup coolant after a hard drive? Do you hear it boiling over like an old...

    Stan had a similar problem if I recall, it was fixed by the lower shroud, the one that goes below the radiator. It mounts under the radiator, it's black plastic and has some air foils on it. Make sure someone hasn't taken it off over the years. Of course he blamed it on the thermostat. Lol

    Starting - Running Issue with New Electronic Ignition Kit 1978 440

    Once you do get it running, I believe Lean burn runs on full manifold vacuum, so you can't use that same vacuum line to feed the vacuum advance on the distributor. You'll need to find ported vacuum from somewhere. Agreed!

    78 NYB Radio goes off when I hit the brakes.

    You wouldn't be saying that if you've ever been under the dash of an Esprit. :poke:

    78 NYB Radio goes off when I hit the brakes.

    Starter... When I was a kid working in the garage on something that wouldn't start, my "Gramps" (God Bless his soul) would name every conceivable part on the car that would cause a no-start situation. Then when I got it running he'd say "Told Ya that's what it was":rofl: God I miss him.

    Shame you can't go and put it up the genius' sphincter that sold it to you. Hard to even find "matched belts" anymore. Ask for them and they look at you like you're from another planet! Probably broke first I would think, then the other was squealing maybe not...

    1978 NYB Window Sticker

    More interesting to me is the price of the am/fm-c-body radio option. A whopping $587 bucks! In today's money that's $2,265! But I suppose it's just like an optional navigation system on some high end cars. I just can't see paying that just to talk with your "good buddies" lol

    The two part or two stage system, however you want to call it, that we have is just more accurate. You'll be fine, just proceed the way Jeff described and I think you'll be ok. From the instruction manual... "Combustion gas, when it enters the cooling system through any leak, accumulates in...

    Thats to turn on the headlights automatically. As dusk approaches you can set the headlights to come on by themselves or the other way around they will shut off as it gets light in the morning. That dial is for fine tuning. Light sentinel is what is called. Post a pic of the headlight switch if...

    Snapon has a tool GDCT16 (looks a lot like a turkey baster) is a combustion leak tester, that allows you to "sniff" the head space in your radiator or recovery bottle. It uses a fluid that changes color to indicate whether there is burned gases in the cooling system or not. Tester, Combustion...
