I thought the same thing, that's why I posted it. Crazy.

Yikes! I hate those things. I had one on my '79 Dippy that would only go about 40 miles, before shutting the engine down. After a 10 minute cool -down on the shoulder of the road, it would fire right up and go another 40 miles. I replaced this mess with a carb and distributor from a junk yard pickup truck, and it ran like a champ after that.

Same thing with our 78 Fury Sport. Once the lean burn was gone, along with the lock in converter it was much nicer to drive.

My buddy had a new 78ish Volare wagon with the 318-4 barrel lean burn. He brought it to the track one day to run in street eliminator, which at that time had an 18.50 break, and it wouldn't make the number. We started screwing with the timing and kept putting more initial in it and it kept getting faster. We stopped when the engine became hard to crank, but we picked up over a second and he made the break.
The slant 6 in my ‘82 Ram wouldn’t start once temps hit -10F until I deleted the lean burn and swapped in a standard distributor. It ran much better at normal temps too…

Yup.. Everyone i know that had lean burn threw it away
What's sad is many of the failures were just a fractured solder pad on the molex connector. Back in the day my neighbor was a master mechanic at a Chrysler dealership, and I would solder reflow many of these and successfully have them back in service. I used a brass barrel brush to remove the potting. I didn't charge anything because I couldn't guarantee it, but he helped me with my Mopars which was more than enough repayment.
