what to buy for my wife
oh this is great ....i never thought of it as help for the twins ...and i need all the help i can get with that LOL .....i have never had power steering on an A-body .....my B-bodys yes ....but those are way bigger cars too.
i appriciate the idea of efficency with EFI and all that jazz but i keep mine all old school and i drive it everyday....i did upgrade to 73+ electronic ignition.
if you or her learn to tune it properly you should not have any reliability problems ....they worked in the old days ....no reason they shouldnt work now.......its a skill very worth learning
i keep mine tuned and it starts on cold snowy mornings....and when im under the hood guys wonder what im doing in there......but truth is i have given some of my neigbor guys jump starts on cold mornings .......its really funny to see the reaction LOL
but its all about tuning ....properly tuned an original mopar should rarely get sick and call off the day
i am good with tuning point and carbureted engines, been messing with this stuff close to 30 years but for my wife its easier for her to have something to twist the key and go, not have to pump the gas to set the choke, let it warm up etc etc.
she is really not liking the darts, demons, dusters etc. would prefer a charger, road runner, chevelle or camaro. when we get to the point of buying her a car that she wants these ones will prob be so outtasight in price, but i will keep on looking, mebbe we will get lucky but with 4 kids to raise, the youngest being 9 weeks old it will probably be a long time before we get her ride.
thanks for the pix, but she likes the chebbies, and mopar B bodies better. if a B body was more affordable right now than my little A body im doing i would have jumped for a B body. i used to have a 69 charger R/T 440 4 speed and a 68 charger 383. gone now. sold em years ago as complete running cars. had a 68 bcuda fastback in the late 1980s too. this is why i gravitated towards the 67 coupe i have now. it was available, cool looking and cheap to buy.
if i can find a 1970 to 1972 6 cylinder chevelle malibu hardtop in ok shape, i can make a chevelle SS clone, and maybe put an LS EFI engine swap with an overdrive automatic in it for her. she gets the old school looks she wants, and the modern mechanicals that make it a dream for her to drive.
thanks for taking time to send the pix for her to look at.
i think all your A body mopars are great
