Hey all, thanks for letting me join! A couple months ago, I purchased my first Mopar vehicle - a 1971 Plymouth Scamp. She has a 5.2 318LA with a 904 3 speed auto, factory A/C, bucket seats and a console with floor shifter (not original). So far, I've added TTi long tube headers, dual 2.5" exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers, and Rallye wheels to replace the Centerline style wheels. I have an Edelbrock 4bbl carb and an Edelbrock 2176 intake I'll be adding soon, along with a performance air cleaner. She didn't come without issues, so I'll be searching the site for some answers.

I'm excited to learn from everyone here, and hopefully share any wisdom I've gleaned along the way. I've included some pics of how she sits today.

Welcome from Wisconsin!
A few pointers about this site:
If you're going to ask a question, include as much info as possible.. car, engine, etc. PICS!
Some people get a little cranky at times on here. Don't take that to heart, they want to help you.
There is an awesome amount of knowledge on here. If you can't find info about what you're asking on here, you're not asking the question right, or not enough info. Search previous posts.. there's a search box in the upper right corner.

Don't expect a miracle answer within 5 minutes. Wait a few days.. people have lives.

Most importantly.. be humble.

That's a sweet ride!
 
Welcome here; yes very nice Scamp
If you have a 318 LA, then you have a 318LA.
If you call it a 5.2, we'll be thinking it's a Magnum
Which is a different animal. And if you get to asking questions, this will become important.
 
Welcome to FABO!! Great looking car...love the color!!

Righty Tighty works great, except on early Mopar driver's side lug nuts, lol.
 
So that's what that color is supposed to look like. Haha
Very nice! Welcome!

Couldn't have said it any better than RIse. Welcome from Minnesota and hope my car starts looking as nice as yours soon.

Thanks for the tip. That would've gotten very confusing not only for me, but for anyone trying to help.
