'74 Dodge D100 Adventurer - Finn The Truck
Well, the truck is down for maintenance:banghead: This truck is my daily driver. Today, on the way into work, its started misfiring like mad. I thought as I rode into work, "Oh please, don't be that" Nope. My head gasket was blown. Water was in the oil. The oil reeked like antifreeze. Time to pull off for a pit stop! :D
Things that are gonna be done while its off the road are:
Power valve in the Holley
Heads machined, maybe some small stuff done to them while they are at the machine shop.
Head gasket
wiring cleanup
transmission cooler lines cleaned up.
transmission pan gasket
rear main seal.
new valve covers and cap and PCV
Tach wired better.
Quick and cheap exhaust made and done.
Coolant system flush
Thermostat
Wiper motor
New wires
Plugs Cap.
vacuum advance pod
Lokar kickdown cable and linkage(most likely gonna fabricate something simple to keep the stock throttle cable)
(any input on a better made kickdown would be awesome)
Damn! That's a list!:happy1:
Here's some pics of the truck, I traded the Zombie Dart to Terry(ef8340) along with quite a lot of parts to make it even. Thanks again Terry, even though it can be a drama queen sometimes, gotta love it:cheers:
Before it was fully running again
Had to get the vintage Coca-Cola bear while I was employed at the junkyard:glasses7:
Once it had been resurrected! Pretty happy day!
I ditched the black plastic toolbox for now. Saving it for long trips.
Feel free guys to always chime in with advice or suggestions! They are always appreciated:cheers:
