recently ran across a 79 newport at a cheap used carlot. I wondered,could it be ?? YES it was a slant six!!!Immediately noticed strange factory looking heat shield below carb..Could any of us benefit from this interesting little gizmo??? I used to think my BBS's{super sixes} went bad from warping of the top side of carb...whaddya think ??? |

I remember the 72-76 newports being absolute monsters, is the 79 as big? I wonder what a slant was doing in it |

I wonder if the heat shield is there to stop the carb from flooding when the engine is stopped? I am thinking of trying a heat shield under my BBS to see if it will reduce the flooding from heat when shut off. |

OH yeah, there was one for sale in the Canadiana and Automobile museum not too long ago for $1800 it was mint. That's a big car to have a slant in it, still. <img src="http://www.tocmp.com/brochures/Chrysler/1979/Newport/1979NewportBrochure/images/01.jpg"> |

Hmmm, I knew the StRegis and Fury had the slant as standard equipment, I didn't know the Newport used them also...  They are nice looking cars, especially the ex police models (yes, Chrysler had a police package Newport in '80) without the vynil tops and police rims.
