Did my best to fix it by myself without painting it new!
Hello from germany / 440 New Yorker

Looks good, with some PDR tools and skills you can get the rest worked out over time.

1. US car Meeting in Ransbach-Baumbach, RLP, Germany. Bad weather, just a few old cars. Most of them Mustangs. Nearly 0 Mopars.
But I fall in love with this black "beast". 6,4 (390?) Hemi 2500 RAM HD Power Wagon

The "Yank Tank", "Battleship", "blue whale"...passed yesterday the german car inspection (TUEV, every two years required by law) without issues. Enginge runs PERFECT. 710 RPM hot idle, 0,55 CO left and 0,6 CO right cylinder bank. The examiners loved the "Tank", it's so long, it nearly dosen't fit onto the lifting platform. We had to do the light test with two people, because the car is too long for the normal test system.

So it was time for a new starter... urgently time. Very urgent. 20% of the flanks have already been eaten away! It was still running perfectly, mind you...
And what you DON'T want to see... :hypno:

Not much happening here. The battleship runs without issues at a reasonable gas milage.
Just bought this one to have a spare part when i need it (Mopar NOS 1977-78 B-C Body 400-440 cu in 4 Barrel Auto TQ Choke Assembly 4027793 | eBay).
November there will start futher projects (e.g. valley pan, oil pressure, oil temp, front suspension, enginge mounts...).

Still not much happening. The last US service of the New Yorker. 9/ 2015 in Osburn Idaho.
Wrong oil I say (10w30). Not it has 20W50.

Not so much the oil weight, but the zinc content. So I'd say get some good classic car oil in there. Castrol has classic engine oil. I think Castrol is easier to get in Europe.
