Pitman Arm done, front shocks done, sway bar bushes done...

Ran like a pile of crap on the test drive...

What can go wrong with a car on axle stands for a couple of weeks? This is the second time it's developed a misfire. Last time I changed the plugs and it seemed to cure it. This car does my nut in...

sounds like your masking a problem up, is your charger points or leccy???

Points. I've got a leccy dizzy on the other engine, but no control box. Points don't look brilliant. I might just try re-gapping them first and see if that cures it.

I wanna get the 440 built this winter and bung that in, so I'm going to have to get a kit soon anyway. I just want the bleeding car to cut me some slack for a change.

Know how yer feel Gringo.

Is the Ballast fitted/ok , 12 volts on a points ignition system will burn em up real quick.

I don't know mate. I've had my suspicions in the past that the ballast might be on the way out. I'm getting it MoT'd tomorrow, and the guy who's doing it might be able to shed some light, as he runs a '69. Just gotta hope it makes it there...

SHE'S PASSED THE MOT!!!!

I've got to thank Sidewaysjas, Kiwi, Dave, and everyone else's help and advice. Well chuffed.

Getting better, but the arse is sagging a bit, even though it's got new springs. Might get an extra leaf added.

Loooks great down there in the weeds. Leave the ride height as it is, don`t "Jack" up the rear end like all the other "SADO`s".

About time you had some luck with the car, well done for sticking with it.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but when somebody buys a car that is a potential "DEATH TRAP" from a dealer????????????? and pays top dollar, he needs a bit of backing and help to stick with it.

By the way, I think he`s xxxxxxx mad to waste all that money on a Dodge

Whereas he would be XXXXXXX COMPLETELY mad to buy a Plymouth

Anyway Mr. Runner, what do you mean 'Dealer'.
