So more info and pics about the car itself. I purchased this car my Senior year of High School (April 2002). It was originally purchased in California by a lady who then willed the car to a family who went to my Church. It's pretty clean, especially for an un restored car.
When I bought it, the brakes were out, and the heater core was looped to prevent water from getting to it. I replaced the rear wheel cylinders, and put in a new heater core. Did belts, hoses, plugs, wires, fuel filter, ect. She ran like a champ, and took me from MN to WY and back 3 times between 2002 and 2003 for Tech College.
After Tech College, I was able to purchase a Jeep for a Daily, so this became my cruise car. I replaced the exhaust manifold in 2007 (the original one came out in two pieces). However, I never had them plained as a set. So when I started to drive it back to the cruses in 2008, the intake was pulling in some fresh air, and would kill at idle. I drove her back to the shop, and at that point the starter gave out. Since the odometer had recently gone back to all 0's, I figured it was a great time to rebuild the worn slant six.
Well, here we are 7 years latter. Buying a house, friends getting married, ect. You name it, I've had to be busy with it. Since I have a few weeks of work shut down this year, I'm hoping to get the car back and on the road, but also I'm very limited in how much I can spend, due to said shut down weeks.
Luckily I have my other Mopar for cruises.
And my off brand Slant Six for a daily:

Thanks for watching.
