Looking for this part the Lean Burn System someone took off mine and didn't realize when I bought the car. I have a 1978 Monaco with a 318 engine.

There's no emissions testing in florida.
Run it as is? If not? I have a old dodge parts truck that has a lean burn 318 that was transplanted into it. Was a slant 6 truck. You can have it. I'm in Ocala Fl.. Is it year specific? Is there a part # on it. Let me know. If I don't respond immediately, it's because I sometimes can't get on this site from time to time for some weird reason.?

Many were taken off due to reliability issues.

I agree! My 78 magnum 400 had its lean burn system removed by the previous owner. It runs good. Besides I saw the exhaust manifolds glow orange hot on these lean burn engines . SCARY HOT!

That statement could not be more accurate. And the key phrase "if it is working" . It's a crap shoot, a common occurrence back in the day we would have to fix. I'd swap out that LB for the electronic conversion kit.

I am pretty sure it will work for my car. Are you coming to the turkey rod run by chance?

Hey guys, thanks for the help and info. How do I go about a new distributor to by pass this? I don't have spark so thinking it was this piece as I have gone through everything else and really want to get it off my trailer and hear it run. Thanks!

My '77 Newport 400 Thermoquad had LB. The only problem I had was I got about 9 MPG. Could've been that I had my foot into the sweet sounding secondaries all the time! I swear to you they must've been 2500 CFM alone! Still have the LB air cleaner unit and the distributor.
ECU good??

I'd like to go to the rod run. But I doubt it. I'll definitely be at garlits and the Florida Mopar association show and swap meet.this and the following weekend.

@Islandkent If you are asking about mine, it was a running, driving car when I took it apart.

If you don't have spark its usually a bad coil or wires
