SD Automatic to Manual swap or NOT!
if your careful you can just drill out the aluminum pop rivets 1/8 size drill that hold the metal part of the console to the plastic part, even swap out the ash tray door assy. you remove the automatic console assembly (die cast metal plate) from the plastic console this way. pick up a good used manual shift (die cast plate assembly) 84 to 89 daytona or 84 to 86 chrysler laser. get it sandblast stripped and powdercoated semi gloss black. and pop rivet it, and the ashtray door back together and into your original console plastic. standard 1/8 pop rivets work just like factory. the 87 to 89 shifter and linkage is a better setup than the 84 to 86 , is a direct bolt in for your laser, and looks the same as a stock 86 speed setup when the shifter boot covers it. you may want to upgrade to an 87 to 89 A520, or A555 manual with its shifter and cables. i believe the shifter boot assy is still available new from mopar as well as the shifter knob, shift pattern bezel, and reverse lockout ring assy. hope this helps. matt ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

Re: SD glad to be back
nope she never found out about the pacifica, nor did she ever have a clue as to what all my parts and stuff was worth. pays to have a friend who owns a salvage yard to write a value estimate of worth for the shelby and misc parts for $500 of which she was awarded $250 LOL. dishonest? maybe. but i wasnt gonna give her half the value of $7,000 worth of NOS dodge parts, or half the value of my new engine T ll T3/T4 cost me $2,700 to build, or half the value of my rebuilt A555 tranny (all new gearset) $1,200 for me to build. as far as i am concerned she kept all her gold jewelery, and i didnt complain, so the car and parts was off the table, tho i did get half value of a $500 gold ring she had, so the car and parts as far as she knew, and was concerned was a wash. you gotta do what you gotta do, she recieved a healthy settlement. i had to refinance a fully payed off home as a result, she got the mortgage cash out. i presume it will be spent probably within a week LOL. now for the SD part of the letter. i am looking for the mounting bucket for the infinity CD player that fits in place of the cup holder/bin thing in a 1988/1989 daytona or lebaron coupe. i have one i got used off ebay but mounting tabs were broken. the player i have works fine, would be great to get one with a player in it for spare parts, but not necessary. anyone got one or can get one with all mounting tabs intact please let me know. i am starting back up on the daytona again. thanks mat ** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Hi All I am back for good this time. had a little thing called a divorce happen to me over the past 8 months. aside from being a royal pain in my A$$ this just delayed me buying my new mustang GT by that much LOL. i reordered it in january after judged signed the papers, and should have the car within the next 2 weeks or so. i have wanted one of these new mustang GTs since 2005 so i will likely be driving it a lot when i get it. i'm even getting a day off work to pick it up and do my financing, and paperwork. my boss says i get the day off only if i bring it up to work and give him a ride in it. i am even doing the retro 1960s shelby looking stuff to it. good news is i still got my 88 daytona shelby Z, and my 87 lebaron turbo coupe daily driver/beater. its gonna need a ring job soon. got some blow by going on. so expect to see more turbo mopar posts and replies from me going from the technical to crazy. i am glad your all still here. i had to take a break to sort my life out for a bit. now i got to hit the salvage yards and see what new stuff came in during the last 8 months i was tending to my personal stuff. maybe now that i dont have a wife , i now have a life LOL i may make the yearly SD anniversary get togethers. my ex wife never wanted to go, or wanted me to go for that matter. thanks Moparmat 1988 Shelby z T Top T-2 5 speed 1987 lebaron turbo coupe T-1 automatic 1994 Chevy silverado 1500 350 5 speed (and last but not least soon to be in my garage) 2007 Mustang GT 4.6 5 speed ** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

SD Re SD My 87' GLH-S Shelby Nightmare Begins
OH MY GOD never ever use a dealership for maintenance or overhaul on your SD or TD. most of these idiots are barely skilled in doing oil changes and dare i say it warranty work. if you want to own one of these cars which are now fast approaching 20 years old, or some of which are even older than 20 years old, you need to get the appropriate FSMs for you car, and learn to be a mechanic yourself. or at least surround yourself with knowledgeable people on your particular vehicle IE SD or TD folks who can teach you what to do, and the proper way to do it. i have been spinning wrenches on cars since i was 15, was a chrysler dealer master tech from 1988 to 1992 i am now 38 years old, and have been spinning wrenches on aircraft as a professional for the last 14 years. i wasnt born with any of this knowledge, i learned it out of want, and necessity. my 2.2 T ll i personally tore down and built up for my 88 shelby z is the total deal. fully blueprinted, balanced, forged pistons, fully ported, intake, head, and exhaust manifold. turbonetics garrett copy T3T4 hybrid turbo, big siemens deka injectors, grainger ETC. it hasnt been dynoed. best guesstimate 275 to 300 HP. yes i had a reputable machine shop do all the machine work i need done. this part i didnt have the tools for or know how to do, you know a decking machine, boring bar, valve seat grinder etc. but the teardown, parts chasing, porting, port matching, and reassembly was handled by myself. engine is done up way better than stock, detailed to look factory fresh down to the correct paint colors, bolts, and brackets. it looks stock for the sleeper effect and cost me around $2500 out the door for all my parts, and machine work labor. dissassembly, and reassembly i cant figure in since i did all that myself, and it was a labor of love for me. the other list members are 100% correct, you can never rely on a dealership or service garage. they will screw you ALL THE TIME. i have righted lots of nightmares on TDs in my neck of the woods, just for joe average who owns em and makes the mistake of letting their local garage or dealer screw em up in the first place. even the simplest stuff has em baffled, like the vaccuum hose diagrams. it confounds these idiots like a damn monkey trying to do a math problem. i have seen many a TD or SD with the vaccuum connections put back A$$ backwards after a headgasket swap, and turbo no worky anymore. then they will tell you well we gotta take it all apart again cause your turbos shot. tho it went in with a good turbo, and a leaking headgasket. or the dummys at the service garages, or dealerships who dont even know that the headbolts are stretch bolts, and the torque it all to 65 foot pounds, install the valve cover and walk away without cracking the bolts that extra 1/4 turn they so desperately need. then your gasket goes poof and your oil looks like a chocolate milkshake 2 days later, and the dumb A$$ who put the head gasket on in the first place is now badmouthing your car saying its a piece of crap lee iacocca era mopar just because they were too stupid to actually know how to read a service manual to install the gasket, or vaccuum lines correctly. typical stone age idiot who couldent find their way around even an old simple as hell flat head ford. Hmmm is that a sparkplug or a fuel injector LOL sorry i am ranting here. whew helen wheres the tylenol just my .02 and a whole lotta truth moparmat ** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Re: SD Only 2 speakers? P-Body
i agree. tho the aftermarket stuff works good it doesnt even remotely fit the look in the dash of a stock system and even gets more cheezy and chinzy with age compared to the stock stereo unit. i have a vintage infinity ll cassette deck with 5 band EQ, and surround sound joystick, along with the factory slaved in single disc CD player that sits below it in the cup holder bin thingy in my 1988 daytona shelby z. the stock dodge infinity speakers are 8ohms, and the 6 infinity reference aftermarket speakers i have for it are only 4 ohms. the aftermarket speakers being only 4 ohms impedance are so efficient they work fine on the internal amps in the factory stereo. no need for the piggy backed amps anymore. i took the stock infinity amplified speakers out cut the plugs off em for my new speakers and tossed them in the trash can. half of them didnt work anymore anyway. the new speakers even fit under the stock speaker grilles. on my new mustang GT i ordered. the only achilles heal with the stock 4 speaker system is the speakers themselves. standard 5x7 6x8 just like the daytonas rear quarter panel speakers, but in 4 places in the doors, and in the rear deck. i think i will likely install infinity references in this car too. this car has the i pod player plug in the center console. and the factory 2 din size stereo is single disc and plays MP3s it fits the dash well cool vintage look like a stocker should. tho i am gonna probably get a ford in dash 6 disc changer stereo from a F150 since they fit and look the same except you load 6 discs thru its one slot. laterz mat ** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

SD RE: Crap Cars PHR 2.2 article
i would have to disagree with you. the article is pretty painful, but truthful. as a chrysler plymouth dealer mechanic in the late 1980s i had my share of snapped camshafts, cracked cylinder heads, blown headgaskets, rod knocks, faulty distributors, faulty SMECs, LMs, PMs, and last but not least enough of the crappy holley 2 barrel feedback carburetors to change out under warranty for the 2.2 and 2.5L engines than i care to remember. does this mean i love the 2.2 turbo engine any less ? absolutely not ! my daily driver 1987 lebaron turbo coupe was purchased by me with a tick over 200K on its odometer from my local police auction for $110. it had the prerequisite blown headgasket, with minor stress cracks in the typical water jacket areas, and a failed turbo. these were the consequences of the previous owner not changing the oil frequently enough, and letting the engine overheat, the latter doing it in. since i had done the necessary repairs, and fixing some minor broken things in the car it has served me well for 26K miles and over 2 years as reliable tho rattley and creaky daily transport to and from work, and it never fails to start anytime i need it to. i had always said that any turbocharged engine has no business in the hands of john Q public they dont know how to maintain a turbo engine, or care to know. the flip side is that this has given us in the SD realm a ready stream of hop up and replacement parts for our projects. PHR also stated that these engines are good reliable hot rodded engines in the hands of an enthusiast when rebuilt properly. give credit where its due Laterz mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

Re: SD looking for a Lancer Navagator, and nav Qs and answers
all you need to make the navs work again is new switches that you can solder in. you desolder the old switches off the board and replace them with new ones. the nav should work no problem. on 85 and 86 year model G and H body cars with analog dash if swapping in 12 button navs some functions on the 12 button navs will not work since the speedometer on these is a cable driven unit. things as such fuel used and miles per gallon will not work since it cannot get an odometer input. 85 and 86 models with digital dash everything on the navs will work since there is an electrical odometer input off the digital dash display to make it work, on G,J,H body cars from 87 and on there is no cable and the nav should work all functions irregardless of weather the dash is digital or analog display since they all now use an electrical pickup at the tranny. i sell new replacement nav switches of a better design than the originals for $12.00 per strip of 12 switches, and $2.00 for shipping and handling. i will combine shipping on multiple sets of these up to 6 sets of 12 just let me know mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD RE SD 85 Daytona TV show spotting..
yep i used to Hunter when it was first run back in the 80s. before the reruns. the funny part is the sound dubbing when they used the daytona in chases. the sound editors would dub in a carbureted V8 sound. it was pretty funny. towards the end of the shows run they switched from the garnett red and silver turbo z to a bright red 1987 or 1988 shelby z hard top. BTW theres a turbo mopar bit part in the early 1990s movie called Midnight Run with charles groden and robert dinero. it involves a turbo new yorker about 3/4 of the way thru the movie. at least they didnt dub a V8 sound over this turbo mopar. you can hear the turbo and 4 banger. The Wraith is the ultimate tubo mopar movie though. the PPG industries turbo interceptor is outrageous. turbo interceptor was on display at the Walter P Chrysler museum for a time. i dunno if this exibit has moved or if it is still there. i have pics of this car on display from the auto show in new york back in i think 1986. the rest of this movie showcased mopars newest offerings like a new car brochure. just figured y'all would want to know mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

RE SD Identify a real Shelby
all daytonas were assembly line built by dodge i believe in St Louis missouri assembly plant. shelby gave his input and blessing on the cars styling, and drivetrain upgrades, but never actually or modified any of them. these are NOT numbered cars. meaning they were not actually modified by shelby automobiles in whittier california, and as such they do not have any numbered placards on the dash showing which number vehicle it was to be modified like #096 out of 500 cars. like the numbered cars do. this is why you can more readily find a dodge daytona shelby since they were made in a higher volume mass produced instead of hand modified by shelby after they were built. i say buy what you like, i have 2 daytonas, a 1988 t top shelby z, a 1987 daytona pacifica t top, and 1 lebaron turbo coupe. none of these are numbered cars but i dont care. i would rather own what i like styling wise than just buy something because of its low volume producton. the pacifica is for sale, but is undrivable as it sits, bad brakes.

SD dash instrument cluster differences
the differences in the 1986 to 1987 G body instrument cluster are more than just the styling of it. the 84 to 86 G body speedometer is mechanically cable driven, from 1987 and up the speedometer is electronically driven, and doesnt use a cable anymore. that being said everything will swap except the instrument cluster (gages). starting in 1987 chry co went to an electronic speedometer (NO Cable). the 86 model daytona still had a cable drive speedometer on the G body so the instrument cluster wont interchange. if you are swapping the dashpad and parts from your 1986 daytona into your 1987 daytona your best bet is to reuse your 87 daytonas dash wiring harness and instrument cluster in the 86 dashpad because of this since the wiring from the 1986 daytona will be somewhat different. other than this the dashpad and its attaching structure itself is unchanged from 1984 to 1989 and will bolt right in no problem. so as not to confuse anybody when i say electronic speedometer i am NOT talking specifically about digital dashes. i am talking about the car having an electronic pickup at the tranny instead of having a mechanical cable pickup at the tranny ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD FS 1990 dodge daytona ES V6 5 speed loaded
hi all a buddy of mine co worker actually is selling his 1990 dodge daytona ES V6 5 speed car. it has all the toys. power windows, locks, tilt, cruise, AC, rear disc brakes, sun roof. clean interior with no rips or tears. i owned the car and sold it to him about 3 or 4 years ago so i know its history from then until now. color is bright blue metallic, with grey cloth interior. Don wants me to get the car into the hands of an enthusiast since he know how i feel about these cars. he wants a truck right now so the car needs to go. the good. car has a new headliner, a new fast ratio rack and pinion, new master cylinder, new front and rear brakes, and new rear wheel bearings all this that i installed before selling it to him. car also has pirelli P6 tires in good shape about 60% tread left all around. i repaired the broken odometer in the speedometer for him last year, by installing a brand new gear set. it didnt clock mileage for only about 3 months or so but he only drives about 3 to 4 miles a day anyways. car is currently registered, and passed a safety inspection. its currently driven daily, and runs out 100%. engine runs great, tranny does NOT slip and grabs nicely. car currently has 122K on its odometer, car has NO rust this car comes with some spare parts as follows: dash cluster, center console door which is the special fits 1990 daytona only side hinge in good shape. i know i personally sold it to him. taillamp, good 2 year old Modine replacement radiator, and a good used AC condensor the bad. car is on its second paint job and is fading badly, had some hail damage recently, needs some valve guide work or valve stem seals as it puffs a little oil smoke on startup. pretty common for a mitsu 3.0 of this age. car had a minor wreck NO FRAME DAMAGE which is how i purchased it, i installed a replacement door, fender, and rack and pinion, painted to match. car looked good when i buffed out the rest of the paint 3 or 4 years ago but has since faded. his son used the car and had a minor fender bender with it in which i recently fixed the nose, and installed a good turbo hood to it. and the A/C doesnt work, it worked until last year then it quit. this car is a really nice driver/fixer upper. if i didnt have so much crap going on right now i would buy it back off him since i really liked the car when i repaired it originally and was driving it with for sale signs in it for a while. all it really needs is some body and paint work to repair the hail damage, and the AC repaired/recharged. i do not have pix but can get some if interested. price is $1,200 car is located in Abilene TX and can be driven home. phone 1(325)695 5958 thanks mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD Interior Question
everything will swap for the most part since it was virtually the same interior from 1984 to 1989 with some minor cosmetic and vendor changes along the way, so for the most part everything will swap except the instrument cluster (gages). starting in 1987 chry co went to an electronic speedometer (NO Cable) 86 still had a cable drive speedometer on the G body so the cluster wont interchange. if you are swapping the dashboard from your 86 into your 87 you will need to reuse your 87s dash wiring harness in the 86 dashboard because of this since the wiring will be somewhat different. other than this the dash will bolt right in no problem. so as not to confuse anybody when i say electronic speedometer i am not talking specifically about digital dashes. i am talking about the car having an electronic pickup at the tranny instead of having a cable pickup at the tranny i wish you the best of luck on your swap mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

RE: SD Non stop chime sound, 90 Daytona. Also, looks like a logic mod.
actually the BCM does NOT control the pop up headlamps or headlamp doors on the 90/91 daytona or lebaron. the 1990 daytona and lebaron both have a headlamp control module with relays inside it like the 87 to 89 cars do, even the plug is the same, box is differently shaped tho, actually black plastic and shaped like a square block about the same size and shape as a klondike ice cream bar, and is mounted in the steering column area inside the car on a metal strap. the 1991 daytona and labaron have seperate removable replacable relays in the engine compartment relay box in the L/H fenderwell to maintain and repair this pop up headlamp/headlamp door function. as far as the other body control functions that the BCM controls on these year cars. its true that it controls automatic door lock auto down feature, key in ignition chime, headlamp on chime, wiper on/delay function, and possibly cruise control function tho i cannot verify this. the 1992/1993 BCM from what i have heard will NOT work in the 1990/1991 models since it is programmed in a different computer language and will not work. it will plug in tho as connectors are the same, can anybody else verify this?? hope this helps mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD Looks like a logic module, but this is a 1990 Daytona.
this electronics box where the LM would be on an 87 or earlier car is called the BCM or body control module. used on 1990 and up G and J body. it controls wiper delay function, key in ignition chime, power locks auto down feature when car starts rolling etc. possibly even the cruise control function but i am not sure on that one. hope this helps mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD engine final drive RPMs now with A520 need info fast facts please not fiction
hi all with the higher gas prices upon us i want to convert my 87 lebaron turbo beater to 5 speed stick for improved fuel economy over the stock 3 speed automatic it has. the car has 15 rims with 225 50 R15 tires on it. from some responses to my earlier post to the list it looks like the A555 isnt going to work out as the RPMs are going to be the same as what i have now at 70 MPH. what i need to know from any of you who have an A520 in a G body with 15 rims and 225 50 series tires is freeway cruise RPM at given MPH speeds in 5th gear. i need to know engine RPM in 5th gear cruising at 55 MPH 60 MPH 65 MPH 70 MPH i realize there are other fuel saving transaxle ideas around. i really want it to be stick shift i hate automatics. my friend who owns a salvage yard has a good A520 in a dodge shadow ES he will sell me for cheap to do this conversion, and i am hoping an A520 will do the trick. car with A 413 3 speed auto currently runs 2500 RPM at 55 MPH 2650 RPM at 60 MPH 2800 RPM at 65 MPH 3000 RPM at 70 MPH i want to drop this RPM down about 500 to 600 RPM less than it currently has at all 4 of these freeway speeds, and i am wanting to do it all this weekend. i am hoping an A520 has the overdrive gearing to do this to get me into the 30 to 32 MPG range. car currently gets 27/28 MPG average and travels mostly 65 MPH on the freeway.

RE SD WTB: lebaron headlight motor, now is how to fix lebaron headlamp motor
if the lamp doors on your lebaron wont go up or down but the headlamp door motor is working electrically it can easily be fixed. i bought a package of 3 plastic power window drive pins for late model ford power window drive clutch. you can get these from the help section in your auto parts store made by motormite for about $5.00. there will be 3 white plastic pins in the package their diameters will be about the diameter of a hot glue gun stick. you will have to shave a little off the plastic pins on the sides of them to get the pins to fit into the assembly. you will have to remove the headlamp door motor from the car, and open up its gearbox. i believe they are 1/4 hex head screws that holds the gearbox cover on. the gears in the gear box are usually ok. there will be whiteish smashed plastic pieces in grease looks kinda like hot dog relish. these pieces are the old broken clutch drive pins. remove and clean all this old stuff out , regrease all the moving parts, and install the new drive pins after shaving the sides slightly to fit. Viola it should work no problem. i fixed my baron headlamp door motor in this way 2 years ago. its been working fine ever since. hope this helps mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

RE SD Bummed out..
yeah i got your solution right here. remove the windshield, remove the front fender on the side you got to repair, fabricate steel sheetmetal patch or combination of patch pieces to fit the damaged area after you cut out the rusty spot entirely, make sure your patches allow a correct contour so you can reglue in the windshield to the windshield opening flange when you are done, and using a wire feed welder install the patch, primer it, seam seal it, paint it, and reinstall the fender and windshield. this is exactly what a good auto body shop would do to fix it if you took it there. what you have wrong with that windshield corner is a piece of cake dude. i have installed and welded in rear quarter panel sections on 40 year old cars, i was able to get the outer skins new but had to fabricate my own new inner trunk extensions from flat steel sheet, and bend it on a bending brake since i could not get those pieces pre made. i have also fixed a rotted out windshield flange on a 1979 mustang V8 coupe for a friend of mine. i had to fabricate both upper corners at the top of the A pillar where the windshield glues into the flange. there was nothing left. it was all rotted away. i made both corners from 16GA flat sheetmetal stock and welded them in. so in this regard what you got is really a small fix. to do it the right way the fender and windshield need to be removed to get good access. if you can come to west texas for a few days i could prolly help you redo it, and i can fabricate the patch and weld it in for you for a couple of $$$s. or you can get a really big tube of silicone and fill it up LOL LMK mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD newest funniest thing in JEGS catalog
hi all just wanted to let you all know about the type of adversary we are up against. you know the ones with the winged honduhs and stuff. this thing that i found in the JEGS catalog is as funny as making spinner hubcap ghetto mods using lazy susans for the bearing assemblies. i believe a list member posted that one in the past. this item is a ZEX nitrous show purge kit. i have typed their ad verbatim in their words not mine it goes on to say get the look of a nitrous equipped vehicle without the hassle. the ZEX show purge kit delivers a 15 foot cloud of colored nitrous into the air giving you all the look of a real nitrous equipped racing vehicle regardless of weather you have nitrous actually installed on your engine. its also $350 for this poseur special effect. i have been taught to never under estimate your opponent, but with them buying crap like this instead of performance stuff that actually works i dont think we have anything to worry about. mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

He was a true champion for the Shebly Dodge Automobiles. The Shelby Dodge community has lost a great person. God speed , Bob Marsh. Dan -- - i too had the pleasure of meeting with Bob Marsh at the shelby dodge 25th anniversary in Las Vegas, and again at grand opening of the manufacturing facility for the GT500E in Farmers Branch Texas. Bob was a true champion of our Shelby Dodges. while we were at the grand opening / car show in Farmers Branch, Bob took the time to talk to us in depth about Shelbys Dodge days over at Carroll Shelbys trailer which was in the parking lot of the show. it was great to see all the Phord guys looking over at us like who the hell are those guys to be getting special treatment. Bob you will be missed God bless Mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions? Visit http://www.sdml.org/ To be removed, visit http://www.sdml.org/pages/leave.html

SD need alternator advice
hi all my 1987 turbo baron beater has a tendency to have the lights dim and the engine will stumble when waiting at a traffic light at night and i can see the volt gage dropping while it is doing this. all connections are good, the PM is good. connections to it are clean and tight.i am running the stock chrysler alternator that it is supposed to have on it. i have a feeling it is not putting out enough power at idle when a high draw item such as the lights are on. some guys awhile back were talking about the nippondenso alternator upgrade from the later cars 1993 and up, 120 AMP i think it was. is this a plug n play deal in my car since it is an 87??? any wiring changes i have to make to make this work, what will it do to my PM?? any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

SD WTB - 89ish LEATHER power enthusiast seat (charcoal gray
i needed a good cover for my premium charcoal grey cloth drivers seat in my 88 daytona shelby. i found a chrysler lebaron coupe that had an immaculate passenger seat with the same color and style cloth. i bought the whole seat and removed the seat cover from it. my local upholstery shop was able to fit it onto the drivers side. the seat covers on these G and J cars are the same seat cover L/H and R/H until you fit it and pop holes in the sides for the trim pieces, and seat back hinges. the upholstery shop will reuse the vinyl on the sides of your original leather drivers seat cover and sew them onto this passenger seat cover, and make the cutout and sew the attach clips onto the bolster for your seat switches. mine came out great. the pockets are sewn into in the seat cushions for the air bladders on the passenger seat too since its pretty much a universal cover fitting L/H and R/H until its installed. plus you can find a passenger side cover in nicer shape since its used less. hope this helps ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD Dodge Manufacturing List
i have a book called the standard catalog of chrysler from 1914 to 2000. the dodge brothers company was founded in 1914, chrysler was founded in 1924 by walter P chrysler from the ailing maxwell chalmers motor car company which he purchased and renamed. plymouth and desoto were in house made divisions. this book has lots of history, breaks things down into years and production figures for each model of each year for each division, and includes information on options too. some figures for different years are incomplete, but the book is quite thorough to say the least. its a lot of information to cover almost a century of automaking. plus its goot lots of black and white factory photographs. one pic for each model car for each year. this book is made by Krause publishing, and edited by Kames T. Lenzke. very good source book to have. can be purchased at any good book store, or they may be able to order a copy of it for you if it isnt available in the store. hope this helps mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

RE SD Does this look right?
are you sure what you were looking at were 88 models. the dash for the 88 and 89 are identical. dash design didnt change until 1990. 3 easy ways to tell an 88 from an 89. the first is look at the build date in the drivers door jamb on the door itself if its still there or still legible. the 89 model production run started in october of 1988. anything before that is an 88 model. the second thing is the headlamp door motor wiring. the 88 models used a 4 wire plug for the door motors, the 89s used a 2 wire plug for the door motors. the third way to tell is by looking at the VIN specifically the 11th digit as counted from the left to right. A is 1981, B is 1982, C is 1983, so G is 1988 and H should denote 1989. hope this clears things up a bit mat. ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

Re: RE SD Does this look right?
the number is actually 1,859 units made with the airbag in the end of 1988 production. this is chryslers official count. or at least what they told me when i called them to ask this question a few years ago. i have not seen another 88 turbo airbag or N/A airbag car in my travels to any junkyard. except my 88 shelby that i currently own. most of the daytonas in my local yards are 89 model cars with the 2 wire headlamp motor plugs. the few 88s i have found so far with exception to my car had a regular wheel no bag. thats not to say in different areas of the country may have gotten most of the 88 end of the year run. its possible. tho the 3 things i mentioned would prove if it was an 88 or 89. the VIN digits especially. if you really want to find out for yourself if the figure for this count is 1,859 or more or less then call the chrysler historical archives at 1(888)456 1924. i have called them and according to them this figure is correct. mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

Re: SD RE SD Daytona Shelby Production Number ?
that is true about the yards getting cleared due to the rising cost of steel. however the local salvage yards i have here in abilene texas. i frequent a lot. i have made friends with the different yards owners. when they get ready to clear out a few rows of cars they usually let me know. they give me cans of flourescent orange spray paint, and tell me to tag the windshields of the ones i want to save for a while. of course i tag all the G,J,P,H,L,AA bodies i can find that are either turbo or have good sheetmetal. but mostly G bodies since that is what i am into. you got the damned chinese to blame for the rise in steel prices, and the oil prices. people say we are the biggest users of the worlds oil supply. i beg to differ. china has blown past us as the biggest user of OPEC oil, and its going to get worse. china has used up most of its domestic oil reserves already. plus with recent changes to chinas economy, and social system there is now the beginnings of a middle class, and its growing. from the amount of people china has it will probably be the biggest middle class the world has ever seen. these people are wanting homes, and property of their own. many of them are buying automobiles for the first time too. believe it or not i read that Bejing has several drive in theaters now. many folks there go to these for their weekend entertainment. GM, Ford, and Chrysler are trying to make major inroads into that part of their economy. the new Chevy Aveo micro car is actually a chinese import made by daewoo a new GM subsidiary coming into the United States. i am not making this up. go to a chevy dealer and read the data tag on the door jamb on one of these cars. i think the U.S. oil companies need to align themselves with Russias Ukos oil company. theres a lot of cheap oil in siberia. problem is the infrastructure and roads to get it to port are horrible in these areas. speaking of oil and gas. part of the problem with the gas prices isnt the availability of oil but the lack of refineries to make it into gasoline and diesel fuel. our populations are growing, but the amount of working refineries in the US has stayed virtually the same since the 1970s. this is the law of supply and demand. the EPA and different cities around the country with the NIMBY syndrome (not in my back yard) have put a stop to adding more refineries around the country. more cars + less fuel availability = higher prices. the higher cost per barrel of oil doesnt help either. am trying to put up a nice welded steel square tube fence frame with nice cedar wood pickets screwed to it as a nice privacy fence around my yard. the cost of my steel tube i am using has almost tripled in 2 years. thank god the sections i needed to put up across the front are done now. so the front of my property looks presentable. i will still continue doing my fence in the back yard in the manner i started but will have to complete it in smaller sections at a time. i urge us all to try to save as many SD and TD parts as you can for your future projects and hoard stuff if you can. i have some room to do this, and will continue to do so. though the hardest stuff to hoard is body parts and trim parts. i am off my soap box now mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

RE Re: SD Does this look right?
actually the dodge daytona did have an airbag installed in the steering wheel in 1988. my 1988 shelby Z with a build date of april 1988 has a factory installed airbag wheel, and the stock wiring harness is a 1988 airbag harness. this car was not modded to have this. its a factory harness setup. at the end of the 1988 production model year airbags were phased in. there were a total of 1,859 daytonas of all type in 1988 produced with the airbag available for purchase by the public at the end of 1988. the 1987 and 1988 daytona forward engine compartment harness used a 4 wire plug for the pop up headlamp motors, the 89 daytona with same dash and interior used a 2 wire plug for the pop up headlamp motors. my 1988 harness has the 4 wire plugs for the lamp motors as an 88 should but also has all the wiring and the sensors for the airbag. the harness was unmolested until i cleaned and rewrapped it. the vehicle total info on the 1988 daytona with airbags i got from chryslers historical archives. did they make a production 1988 daytona with airbags. you bet they did. 1,859 to be exact. for 1987 they did not have an airbag. there is no record of that at chrysler. plus if they had started doing this in 1987 then all the 1988 models would have had an airbag. just a small correction and the facts mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD RE SD Daytona Shelby Production Number ?
the daytona shelby was not a numbered edition low production car. it was built entirely on an assembly line. shelby gave his input on all years of the daytona shelby including the CS editions however he never had them at his whittier california plant for any Shelby type mods. his name was applied to the car on the dodge assembly line by virtue of his input. and it was essentially a performance option package available for the dodge daytona. all that being said my standard book of chrysler shows were a total of 69,998 dodge daytonas of all type base, ES, ES turbo, and shelby made in 1989 with no further breakout available on this car. one can assume that the cars with more options on them were more rare due to the fact that most people didnt load these up with options, 1989 was the last year for the T top too. a majority of the 69 thousand cars were most likely base model strippo coupes, or the base ES non turbo. since the MSRP for these was listed at $9,295, and $10,395 respectively. the ES turbo was $11,995 and the shelby was $13,295. all of these prices are for the basic packages or upgraded trim levels and dont include extra cost items each particular trim level package may not have included in its base price like automatic transaxle, A/C, leather seats, tilt/cruise, sunroof or t top, louvers, upgraded stereo, power windows, power locks, illuminated entry, digital dash, overhead console, power seat, ETC. i would venture to say the daytona shelby is still pretty rare even tho there were most definitely more than 500 produced in 1989. you have to look at it this way. how many of these were wrecked, junked, parted out, stolen, and stripped ETC. after all this car is 16 years old. most average people regard it as an old car or junk. also since it isnt a low production numbered car a lot of SDrs regard it as a parts car for other projects. i feel this will make this type of shelby dodge become even more rare in the future. what helps its collectibility in the future is a numbers matching (original as factory installed) engine block and tranny case. the last 8 digits of the VIN sequence number for your VIN number are stamped into the block and tranny case. this was for theft purposes when the car was new. this now helps with future collectability as long as all the last 8 digits stamped in these 2 parts match the last 8 digits on your VIN in the dash. if you are gonna race it, pull out the numbers matching drivetrain and store it in the corner of your garage and build up and install something from a donor car. this way if you crack the tranny case or engine block it doesnt matter much. the car will be worth more to a collector if you have the numbers matching drivetrain for the car unhurt and stored away to go with the car if or when you decide to sell it. you can call the chrysler historical archives at 1(888)456 1924 they may have a further breakout on actual production figures on just the 1989 daytona shelby on file, or email me back if you need more information hope this helps mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

as far as i have seen it seems like ALL lebaron coupes and daytonas in 1989 weather turbo or not came with non vented rear disc brakes as standard equipment. of course the 89 daytona shelby, and 89 GTC had vented rear discs tho. i havent seen an 89 lebaron or daytona base non turbo without them and wearing rear drums in my salvage yards yet. tell tale sign its an 89 look for the old style square 80s looking dash and make sure its got an air bag. tho some late 88s came with the bag too. hope this helps mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

Re: SD RE SD Last Call!! '87 GLHS # 0567 AS IS $600.00
i was not jumping down jerrys throat about it. i was just pointing out the fact that eventually these cars are gonna be gone and then when somebody decides they want one again in the future they will be so scarce that those who have them will either hold onto them or demand a high premium for them due to rarity. i was pointing out the fact that it may be better to squirrel it away in a garage or barn somewhere until the time comes that you have the money, and the time to fix the car properly, rather than just strip it and junk it. if it has severe rust that cannot be repaired that compromises the structural integrity, or if its wrecked beyond repair thats a different story. but we are talking a GLHS one of 500 made right?? i have never even seen one in person. i have 3 non numbered turbo cars i currently own. i love them as if they were numbered cars. i would never think of selling them to a non TD enthusiast, nor as parting them out ever crossed my mind. i see a lot of TDs in my local salvage. i seem to be the only guy around my area interested in them. i have tried to salvage parts off some of these forgotten cars in the junkyard for future use. i even rescued 6 TDs. 4 came from the salvage, 2 from auction sale more than likely were soon to be salvage. 1988 daytona shelby Z T top (2) 1990 daytona ES models 1987 Le Baron turbo coupe 1989 turbo mini 1987 daytona pacifica T top the turbo mini and one daytona ES found good homes, the second daytona ES was totalled by my wife. it was beyond repair, i was lucky she wasnt killed in the wreck. the other 3 i currently own. i have done my part to try to rescue some TDs, if i could i would rescue more of them. maybe numbered cars havent fallen in my lap. but thats ok i like what i have. as far as a lack of buyers for these cars i own three of them as evidence of that. i think we all need to keep trying at car shows, and car cruises to interest other car guys and gals in our type of transportation. for some it could be the little cash outlay to go fast. for others mebbe its just the thrill of driving a turbo car. i am doing my part here in west texas to keep these cars alive. mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

RE SD Head Flaw?
the cracks between the valves are normal. there is no water passage behind this area to cause you a problem. the ones in the triangular water passages worry me a bit. you can carefully grind those cracks out with a rotary file on a dremel tool, and have them TIG welded back up to add material, then resurface the head. i actually have my welder guy completely weld up these triangular ports after i grind the cracks out, then using an old head gasket as a pattern i redrill the holes where they need to be. a round water hole has less stress on it than the triangular ones with the pointed corners. a crack will seek a weak point like the points on those triangular holes, and an overheated head will crack like this. it is repairable tho. my welder guy does a nice TIG weld job on the aluminum for me and charges me like $50.00 per head. then they need to be resurfaced after that tho. hope this helps mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD RE SD Last Call!! '87 GLHS # 0567 AS IS $600.00
why not just store it until you can get around to repairing it. eventually with all the strip it and junk it mentality a lot of guys sem to have, these wonderful little rockets will be gone. if the car is structurally sound and in restorable condition. a fried piston is no big deal to fix. later on years down the road when most of these cars are all gone you will want a GLHS again and you will end up kicking yourself for letting the car go to the shredder. the prices will eventually climb to outta sight levels. you may be able to piece together a clone car, but certain key parts are tough to find now, imagine finding these parts 15 years from now. repops of parts will only happen if there is a large enough need for them. we are seeing this now. this happened with muscle cars, it will eventually happen with these cars too. especially the low production numbered cars. their prices will be the first to climb. to all the naysayers out there this will happen it just takes time. its all a waiting game. back in 1987 i could have purchased a barn fresh all original 1968 Hemi road runner for $5,000. car was all original, all there, numbers matching and was not modified in any way. it still needed a full rotisserie restoration. i passed on it. restoring it was beyond my experience and capability at the time back then. any of you priced a 68 Hemi runner lately??? oh about $50K restored now. in the late 1980s all the mopar muscle cars were in the same predicament as our cars are in now. most of em were just hitting the 20 year old mark at about that time. nice clean original examples could be had for a couple thousand bucks, parts cars could be had complete and running for a couple hundred bucks. decent daily drivers could be had for mebbe $1,000. the salvage yards were littered with them. does all this sound familiar to you all??? well it should. mark my words history does repeat itself. the only thing the mopar muscle cars had going for them that our cars dont, is the lack of obscurity. people seemed to remember those cars. tho some folks i talk to do remember turbo mopars when they were new too. sorry if this post is too long. i have said this before. it will happen you all just need to be patient, and play the waiting game. a positive high visibility in car crafting circles doesnt hurt either. taking your fixed up / restored turbo cars to local car shows, or cruise nights can have positive effects for us too. if people seem interested tell them about your ride. get enthusiastic about what makes a turbo mopar so much fun. tell them the stats that these cars can run at the drags if set up properly, give them some web addresses to check out about our cars. granted car shows are a little boring compared to dragging, but if it can gain us all awareness, then mebbe we all win. some on this list like the obscurity of owning one of these cars. but seriously how many of us now have 3 or even 6 or more cars because nobody else seems to take an interest in them. obscurity = lack of parts availability in the future. mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

how much from matco $$$ wise. i have matcos 2005 catalog and didnt see this type of tool listed. what is the matco tool part number?? i am already using this home made tool with excellent results so i dont need one myself. this tool is designed to work with existing harmonic balance pullers that most SDrs have in their tool box. snap on sells a tool for this 5 bolt application for over $80.00. from my own experience most SDrs dont want to spend $80 or more just for a tool that has one application. but if it is fairly cheap and can be used with existing tooling they already have then why not. mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD 2.2 / 2.5 common block crank sprocket puller adaptor
hi all i have a crank sprocket puller adaptor for the common block 2.2 / 2.5 sprockets with the five bolt crank sprockets, also fits oddball 87/88 turbo ll 2.2 with square tooth 5 bolt crank sprockets. i made 2 of these as prototypes, and i have a patent applied for / patent pending on this item. i am selling one of them off since i dont need it anymore. i have it listed on ebay. this item works super great. it doesnt damage the sprocket when pulling it either. the response i get on ebay, and its final aucton value $$ wise will determine weather or not i decide to go ahead and make these to sell to others in our SD realm. the auction number for this tool is Item number: 4540796613 please go to this page on ebay, look at this item and either bid on it if you want it for your tool box, or email me back and tell me what you think of it, tell me if you think its worthwhile pursuing to make and sell copies of these. since they are machined of 1/2 steel plate they take some time for me to make. thanks mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD GTC coupe rear coil springs
hi all i was told the lebaron turbo GTC coupe used a different rear coil spring (stiffer) than a reg lebaron coupe. i was also told the daytona shelby rear coil was too stiff due to extra weight in the rear the lebaron doesnt have, and would raise the ride height. i have 2 sets of daytona shelby rear coils. i guess they wont work. anybody got a set of lebaron GTC turbo coupe performance spec rear coil springs they want to get rid of??? i only want to buy a set if they are different (stiffer) than the stock turbo coupe rear coils are. no point in getting a set from a list member if they are the same as what i have already.

SD WTB lebaron vert seatbelt parts

RE SD from Turbo Dodge to Chrysler 300 C, It's got a HEMI, my sad story
well last time i checked an airplane is one of the worst investments you could ever make next to buying a new car. i would dump the KR-2 to get up some cash. i work as an aircraft mechanic. aircraft parts are a ripoff because of the certification tags they must carry. my buddy wants a square tail 172 i told him that he is nuts. theres your cash to redo the turbo, and anything else it needs. I finally got it back from my teenage son but it has a little trany damage and or CV damage ( yet to really look at it close) as well as suspected engine damage. sounds like junior has been trying to play street hero or is it street zero with your 1985 turbo ll vert. BTW i was never just given a car to drive when i turned 16 by my folks. i had to work a part time job to save up some dead presidents of my own to get a car, as well as the $$$ for the insurance too, and in doing that i certainly appreciated it more. i hope junior doesnt screw up your PT cruised the same way as your vert has become in his hands. oh well you live and you learn, sometimes you learn from other peoples mistakes too. my kids will be saving their own cash to buy their cars. i will not buy them a vehicle nor will i just give then one of mine to thrash. just my .02 and some common sense mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

RE SD Shelby Z, 1987 4-Sale
ron i feel your pain. this is why i am totally restoring a 1988 daytona shelby Z t top car and NOT trying to sell it. i am redoing the car because i owned one when they were new and had to sell it for financial reasons back in 1992. i found a well worn example of an 88 model and started my restoration. i dont care if these cars wont ever be worth anything this car brings me back to when i was 18 years old. god willing i want to be 65 years old and still driving this shelby i am currently rebuilding. i let one slip thru my fingers i wont let another one go. hell you dont get rich doing car rebuilds / restorations for profit. unless you restore brass era motorcars, or duesenbergs or something. build up and enjoy the car for what it is. the grandaddy of sport compacts. chrysler was way ahead of their time back then in the 1980s. it will take some time before these cars will be worth something. i could remember when i was 16 years old back in the mid 1980s i bought a 1968 dodge charger with a 383 inch V8 in running condition for $400. you cant do this today. just empty 68/69 charger body shells with titles are hitting $3,000 on ebay. then you gotta dump a wad of cash just to make it drivable. i think turbo mopars will end up this way. forgotten then found again. only time will tell, but for now i am hoarding cars and parts while they are still cheap and plentiful for when that day arrives. mat 1988 daytona shelby Z turbo ll T top 1987 daytona pacifica T top 5 speed 1987 lebaron turbo coupe soon to be T ll and 5 speed (new arrival) 1987 lebaron turbo coupe parts car ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD 90 Daytona VNT speedo question
your odometer doesnt work because the odometer drive gears are broken from brittleness due to age and heat. this is pretty common. i can rebuild your odometer, and install new gears, and guarantee replacement parts and repair work for 1 year on your daytona odometer for $100 plus $10 return shipping for a total of $110 providing the unit is not messed with within the warranty time frame. the repair includes the new replacement gears i get from a supplier who custom machines them from dupont delrin plastic for me. i can repair the daytona odometers in the electric speedometers from 1987 to 1993, and lebaron coupe/convertible models from 1987 to 1995 there is no body module fault. the only thing the body module does on your 1990 in regards to speed is lock the electric door locks automatically if so equipped above a certain speed. it gets this vehicle speed information off the VSS. tho i know how to do it i will NOT clock an odometer drum since it is illegal so please do not ask me this question. email me if interested in getting this repaired. or call me at 1(325)695 5958 my address is Matthew Maloney 4609 Sage Circle Abilene, Tx. 79606 hope this helps mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD headgaskets
i am running a fel pro 9296PT with steel shim built right into it on the block side on my o ringed 2.2 T ll . i used spray hylomar on both sides of the gasket and used ARP head bolts. i feel this gasket is good for the o ringed applications. i believe i was recommended this gasket by Gary Donovan. i feel this to be a really good headgasket for o ringed applications. now my 87 turbo beater lebaron with T l non o ringed block is using a MP 005 headgasket. the head has been welded and resurfaced. 7K miles on this one and no problems yet. i have no experiences with the cometic headgaskets so i will not comment on those. a big part is making sure both surfaces are smooth and flat, making sure both mating surfaces are clean and dry. using a thread chaser on all the headbolt holes to make sure the new headbolts will tighten easily and not bind up giving you a false or lower reading on your torque wrench. i use some 30W oil on my new MP headbolt threads so they dont thread in dry. and dont forget once you tighten every headbolt to spec in foot pounds in pattern with your replacement headbolts you will need to tighten the headbolts an additional 1/4 turn tighter in pattern to get the stretch on the bolt. (ARP head studs do not get additional 1/4 turn) i have used felpro and MP headgaskets in several 2.2 buildups, and repairs. never had one of em pop yet. just my .02 and some experience mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD wheel polisher
i finally got off my dead A$$ this weekend and started work on making my aluminum wheel polisher for TD wheels and anyhing else that fits a 5 bolt 100MM circle. i had most of the parts scrounged up to do this as freebies. i did have to spend some money though. i had to get a 1/2 fan belt, some nuts and bolts, a can of spray paint, electric cord, 4 diameter pulley for the motor, and a rheostat to adjust the wheel speed. for the stuff i needed to buy i spent about $35.00. this thing will be portable so it can be stored when not being used. i know some of you jack up your cars and let the wheel spin while the car is running to polish up the aluminum. i feel this is dangerous for many reasons. i will have some pictures of this polisher soon for those of you who may want them to make a variation of it for yourselves. mat ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?
