P15-D24

Fire burned so hot it cooked the ground solid so nothing can take hold until it breaks down. Problem is water just runs off with no absorption.

Worse part is the County is telling us to expect this for the next two years. Takes that long for new growth to start on the mountains because the heat from the fires cooks the ground down 6-9 inches. Good/bad news is we have only 2 more months of rainy season. But we do need the rain for the reservoirs.

Another way is mail him a disposable film camera. Shoot the entire roll and have him mail it back.

Good news, rain ended up less than forecast! Creek is flowing pretty good but no flooding danger for this round. :-)

Well, Santa Barbara County just declared another mandatory evac for us tonight, 4th of the year. (Impact is 20K-30K people!) My wife and I live in the western area of Santa Barbara and we are expecting rain and possible mudslides and flooding. You may remember in the news back in January the mudslides in Montecito that killed 22 people, (12 miles east, they are under the same mandatory evac order.) We had a 18K acre fire in July in the mountains and canyon above us and we live on the creek that runs down the canyon. Heaviest rain will hit around 2-3 am. We are planning to shelter in place unless it starts to look dicey, then evac to our neighbors across the street who are at 100 feet higher elevation. Good news is the creek is about 40-50 below our house elevation, but you just never know with these events. Full moon tonight will help, we should be able to at least see something. Animal carriers are staged, (3 cats, 2 dogs) flashlight charged, radios ready and overnight stuff packed. We have done this so many times we now just walk away, everything is backed up off site. If we stay and get cut off we have power, food and water for a couple weeks. (That's living in earthquake/wild fire county) Good news is the storm should be over by 5 or 6 am Friday morning. Wish us luck.

BUY IT!

DCM claims to have them: https://dcmclassics.com/27-Fuel-System?id_category=27&n=75

Is this a 4 or 6 cylinder? Did you pull the valve covers to see if you have a valve(s) stuck open? How did you do your compression test?

This is why an investment in a factory parts book is a very good idea. It has all that info in one place for the entire vehicle.

From the manual...

If it is the factory manual, all specs are usually listed on one page at the start or end of a manual section.

For the donation. They do help keep the site running even donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you again member Lloyd!

If you have that much play you need to rebuild the box, plus all the associated joints in the steering system. The drag link isle a common source or contributing source of the issues you have described. Be safe and do it right.

THe /6 would start, just wouldn't run! My P15 started easier and ran better in the cold.

It was purchased new, location was Indianapolis. It gets cold there...

Had a 225 in a '68 Dart with auto. Found neither performance nor mileage to be that good. Auto choke was pure junk, near impossible to start in cold weather. Eventually changed it out to a manual choke. From my experience not a big lover of the /6.

I think some of the design work ended up in the hemi inline six they used in Australia instead of the slant six. From the reading I have done on the internet the inline hemi was/is a very good engines, better than the slant six.

Still need some P15 shots, please!

How mother Mopar was going to do it...

Nope

Need one of these...
