6=8 and bore over?

The bottom line is that the engine sounds probably OK, and you just need to resolve some common issues. Taking cranking compression readings is a good thing to do up front just to be sure the engine is sound. Things like the suspension and steering parts renewal, and clean the fuel tank and lines, are just needed period due to the car's age.

BTW 67dart273 lives over in Spokane, IIRC. He is pretty knowledgeable with all of these Mopars.
