Parts store had the part, but this was 30 years ago. Maybe get the part from wrecking yard. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 33 newbie | newbie Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 33 | Dropped off the dodge with my mechanic while I travel the next few days.

I have an HEI distributor to drop in my 302, have resisted due to requiring a rewire to the ignition, since the factory wire has a resistor in it, removal of it is impossible, unless you would like to strip the wiring harness to find it, I'm trying to get by till I get the nerve up. BTW anyone wanting to install a relay headlamp harness, don't get a cheap one, mine has failed yet again, the relays are good, but lights won't come on dim, this is the second time this has happened, not sure the cause this time as last was corroded relays. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 | Well, the '93 had a loose/floppy tilt column so I dug into it earlier in the week. Tightened and secured those four little tork-headed bastards..... Then put in back together. UGH! Then changed out the OP sending unit, changed oil/filter and began flushing the brown water from the cooling system. Anybody who neglects the cooling system in Georgia (say Jawga) is one sunny day away from being a pedestrian. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 | That's the only pic I took.
