Just struck a deal to buy another Mopar

Something about a "rescue unit".  I'll take a better pic once I have it home.

Might be an old fire department bosshog vehicle.

It would be even cooler if that were the case. Get a light bar with some red lights and some Fire Chief door decals... Sweet!

How hard is it to restore/replace that dash I wonder?

Probably not much different than changing a B body.


Title says it was an abulance for the fire department in Okano, NE.  I inted to restore it back into an ambulance once the Barracuda is finished.

Ugh...  I don't think I realized until today just how much of a pain in the ass it is to change the spark plugs on a big block.  I spent 2 hours, and only managed to get the 4 drivers side plugs.  I think tommorow when I hit it again, I'm gonna jack the front up, and go at it from underneath.

Good news, and pain-in-the-ass news.

Good news first.


The last document I needed to get her titled FINALLY came, so she is officially mine in the eyes of the government now, and is legal to drive on the road.


Pain-in-the-ass news:

The vacuum advance wasn't working right, so I bought a new distributor.  $60 bucks.  Today, I finally had both the time and nice weather, so I tried to swap it in.  However, the new one won't work.  Why, you ask?  Because the old distributor had the standard points, BUT, also had an electronic vacuum advance, which the new, $60 dollar distributor did not have.  So, I'm just gonna spend $200, and get the electronic ignition conversion kit.

Also, when I returned the new distributor, they only refunded me $10, so basically I flushed 50 bucks down the shitter.

Should have pulled the old distributor before I bought a new one.  It was an expensive lesson.

AND IT'S ALL IN EVERY BONE YARD.....

where did you buy the distributor from?

O'Reilys.

I bought it a week or so ago, but today was the first opportunity I had to try to install it.  I'm thinking that since it's been a few days, they didn't refund the whole price.
