Looks like my old duster! I love it. I hate to join in on this but once those stands go sideways just a little it will come down. I have a sad story along those lines and cringe when I see it....sorry but I want to see you driving that car.
Welcome to FABO! I would stay away from the "stop in for a cup of coffee" morning thread. Getting to be too many Moderators and nut cases! Isn't that right Memike and Toolman Mike? See you around!
Welcome! This is a great site and I bet you will get a lot of help here. I am not even near the mechanic that most of these guys are but I have virtually the same car. Mines a 1975. Here are mt guesses ...jumped time...what bent the distributor shaft would have me wondering. Are you sure...
Well heck...I am within 100 miles. 84 to be exact. Let me know if I can help. Sorry to hear of your loss. I did not know Artie but any mopar guy is cool in my book.
