~ Two Things ~
.
Well, two things.................
A friend of mine has one of those somewhat rare rag top Dodge pick ups that were made for just a few years.
It has gone from running real nice to a nightmare in one day.
The owner is an automotive expert of 30 years plus experience, in Antique cars.
Auburns, Cord, Packard,... stuff like that.
He does not have stupid friends, they are a bunch of smart bastards, including retired Chrysler line and dealership mechanics
After spending over $2,000 he has parked it & put a tarp over it.
Sounds like it's haunted.
From conversations.........................
From his house in the morning South on the 5 freeway, just when he is across from the Gene Autry Museum,(about 20 min), in the exact spot,..... it starts to die.
Tap tap tap tap, stab stab stab..The gas pedal trying to keep it alive.... Pull to the side...
I remember he said the computer has been replaced twice, the last time after a guy in San Diego who is an expert, when thru it 100% and set it up perfectly.
The throttle body has been replaced twice, new modules , sensors, etc,etc.
He could tell it in detail, but this is what I remember.
I spoke to him today,..... he lost his job.
Is anyone here an expert on these trucks?
This guy could use a ray of sunshine.

The other thing..................
I remembered something,...... My friend Trace has a unique Mopar item.
He was friends with "Racer Brown" and received from him a beautiful full size, 1:1 scale, Big Block Hemi exploded view assembly blueprint.
Racer Brown was sent this blueprint by the factory.
I have seen this print a couple of times, Trace put it up when he first got it, it's huge.
Then he quickly took it down because he was afraid something would happen to it.
So, I am asking...............
1) Who wants me to take a picture of it?
2) Who would like to own it?
3) Who would like me to search around & find a copy place that can handle that size?
4) Who would like to own a copy?
