Carter AFB 4BB carb. Electric choke, starts on the first crank always. Electric fans, 4 core radiator. Original vacuum operated headlight doors. 275/40/18 BFG tires on AR Torque Thrust wheels have about 6000 miles since new. 3.23 rear with all new bearings. Front end has all new Moog parts and bushings. Power brakes, drums all around, system completely rebuilt with new hard lines and internals. Vinyl top is new. Paint is new and conservatively 9 out of 10. All gauges were refaced and work, but the clock adjuster doesnt catch all the time, but the clock works! The hood turn signals work which seems to be a rarity in these cars. The wipers and washer system work. The interior is easily a 10 out of 10. New seats front and back. New package tray and headliner and carpet. The dash pad is perfect. The console is beautiful with new wood (not vinyl paper) veneer. The AM radio is an original Dodge thumb-wheel type and works with the speakers in back and the new fender antenna. It's very cool. The cigar lighter works as well as the glove box light, map and console lights and dome light. The rear view mirror is an original day/night type.
Car runs very good and sounds even better with the dual exhaust. Mileage is around 10 mpg, about normal for an engine of this size and era. Compression is low, around 9.4 so pump gas is fine.
