Hello all, my Doba was purchased by a family member about 12 years ago from a Chrysler corp member, the car has sat in a garage for the past 5 years, i decided it finally time to let the 360 breath
thanks all im getting ready to upgrade to a 4 barrel thanks to craigslist i bought a carter thermoquad and a stock chrysler intake manifold for 20 bucks each, i cleaned and dismantled the carter thermo quad and i am now in the process cleaning the intake, is there usually a metal plate thats on the bottom of the manifold?
LOL 30 years? when they were brand spanking new? heck i wasnt even around thenWelcome Homey! Looking at the house in the background, it sure looks like Detroit! Did you know that we have more Bars per-capita than any city in the country!? Unfortunately, ours are all on the windows!!! Car looks familiar...did I steal your wire hub caps about 30 years ago?
Cool!
it looks good with the driver's side steel wheel w/blackwall tire, you should do the whole car like that with chrome lug nuts, and lower it slightly.
put some dual exhaust and a 4-barrel and call it done!
Thanks im definitely thinking about keeping the steels and re-painting them black, as for lowering it i would like to but the drive ways around here are retarded high
and as for the 4 barrel im trying my hardest now, i found a stock 79 cast iron 4bbl intake and i have a carter thermoquad ready to be mounted...what else do i need?
yeah you're right about the lowering part,it actually sits well the way it is,we have crappy streets here and if you have headers or deep sump pans it's a real problem too!
as far as the 4 barrel goes you'd need to modify the kickdown linkeage some,or possibly get the linkeage from a thermoquad equipped car.
Nice Doba! You can tell it's been garaged especially for being in Detroit. It's cool that a company man had owned it. Know if he special ordered it? That is definitely a 70s color combo, but it's good and I'm trying to get a neighbor's yellow/brown El Camino. Are you going to get the trim pieces and hubcaps to go back stock?
