    If like my Sission choke that was on my 52 Plymouth it attaches to the starter terminal on the starter and applies power when the starter is energized. The other end fastens to the terminal on the choke. Be sure the screw is just long enough to connect as too long will short out on the Manifold. A search should give you pictures.

    I have heard they are good. I bought the parts for mine several years ago from Then and Now.

    The confusion about the Volare/Aspen comes from the fact that the Compact torsion bar set up from them is used in a lot of custom cars as the suspension is strong and reliable.

    No Flash no Cash is often a problem. Good reliable running cars often just sit cause few want to drive them to the car shows. Not Cool enough I suspect. Good luck.

    We drove a 2001 Chevy Astro from 2002 till June of this year. We put about 175,000 miles on it In that time. AWD, reliable, with the exception of the transmission which went out at 178,000 Miles I was able to fix any and all problems myself. If it hadn’t dissolved to the point of concern I would still be driving it. And if the still made them I would have bought another. So, yeah, some minivans are worth it. Funny thing is I paid the most fot it than any other car I ever bought including the 2016 SUV that took it’s place.

    Seriously it seem that most of the old folks like me I know or have know really have lost the urge to go anywhere and when they get there do anything. The only exception that comes to mind was the then retired owner and his wife of the place I spent 40 years at. She dragged him around the world. India, England, France, all over, them and their scooters. Of course they had a ton of money.

    Could have been on a farm back south of absolutely Nowhere. Old Farmers often were consistently able to make anything out of nothing.

    Do I remember Travel? No I don't

    You're welcome. Sorry I couldn't help more.

    Carfax needs the 17 digit numbers put into use in 1980. Do you know anything at all about it’s past? Last state registered for example? I believe there are threads here discussing this as well. You might go onto the AACA site as well as it has been discussed there.

    Remember though, they are getting better and faster. And no matter what you do, you will get old and slow. A good relationship goes a long way to eliminate problems with family ?

    CarFax needs a modern VIN to work. Most of our cars have a different system. Some are registered using engine numbers, Some using serial numbers. Depends on where it was registered and by who. What year car are you dealing with?

    My wife’s 2012 Kia Soul has 15 more horse power than the Hp 1982 Mustang I bought new had. And probably could outrun it. Every year the cars and trucks get faster and faster and our reaction time gets slower and slower. I don’t even try anymore.

    Regarding your son, remember he knows where you sleep and you do gotta sleep sometime. ?

    Small vacuum leak? Idle a little too low? Issue with the idle circuit in the carb? Fluid drive or manual trans might be involved as well.
  16. plymouthcranbrook
    Most likely if you are wanting prior owners names there are two chances. Slim and None. And Slim just got on the Stage outta town. Seriously it is highly unlikely to be able to find out who they were as records either don’t exist or are hidden for privacy purposes. If the are only a few you might have a chance if the person you bought it from knew the previous owner as happened with my Volare. I do wish you luck. I suspect you will need it.

    You might check with Walmart as well. I bought filters for my Traverse there with free shipping.

    It should be sticking down into the slipstream to create a vacuum that will draw the fumes out of the engine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    I would expect you could make it work. Stranger swops have happened. Depends on how much work you want to do. Have you done a Google search to see if any information is out there http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5900 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwicvPeW_arsAhUPeKwKHSeiC0gQFjAQegQIAhAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fp15-d24.com%2Ftopic%2F43011-slant-six-swaps%2F&usg=AOvVaw12v2L7LHAVwWV3wyzU-ccs Just a couple I found.

    I put a mini starter in my 80 Volare when the local shop said that they cannot fix it as parts are no longer available. Works great.
  21. plymouthcranbrook
    Can you post a vid or recording of the noise? Really hard to get an idea Without hearing it.
  22. plymouthcranbrook
    I love finding stuff like that.
  23. plymouthcranbrook
    Along the lines of Sniper’s thought if the crank was from a late 50’s car that had a Powerflite(?) trans would the crank hole be finished all the way? I ask because a guy I know who has owned a 57 Jeep since High School(50 years) found out that while rebuilding the engine a couple of years ago that Willys did not finish machining the end of the crank where the flywheel bolts on. They and he 50 years later had to grind each one of the flywheel mounting bolts to match It’s place on the crank. I know it sounds crazy but he showed me what he had to do.

    Happy you got through the summer.
  25. plymouthcranbrook
    I wondered who bought that one. Thanks for saving me from having to try to convince my wife I need just one more old Mopar. Looks' like a good bargain. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine. Welcome to the site.
