The previous owner of my 1976 360 Dodge Sportsamn installed the Edelbrock's Performer Series caruretor which was "calibrated and factory flow tested". Also installed the Edelbrock intake manifold and performance cam shaft and lifters. It still stalls when its cold unless you work the pedel to keep it running.

Hello Hello. I just bought a nice 78 440 Dodge Itaska with 80,000 miles and all original. Just need to work out the bugs. What about headers or duals for this is it worth the trouble?

There is some kind of bed in the back of my rv. Kind of looks like it would swing down and set on the table or something. But it doesn't move. I cant seem to find a latch or anything. Anyone got an idea what this is and how it works.

Doug Thorley THY-109Y-C... Ceramic coated headers $499 @ Summit Racing. You can get them cheaper if you don't get the ceramic coating, which is to help keep the engine compartment cooler.

It was just a shelf that lets down that needed some oil. The bed is pulling the table of some pipe, setting the pipe aside and inserting the table to make the bottom support of the bed.

My first Dodge and it's a 1977 Tioga Sportsman 24' with a 440. I'm new to RVing and this one was given to me by my grandpa after it sat for several years. Guess I'm gonna have to hire a handyman to help me get her on the road again. Anyhoo, hello all. Julie

What a trip, put water in the RV, no leaks things actually worked. Few flushes and what looked like a dirt bowl flushed down, cleaned itself and sealed. Little weird when your family lines up to use the RV toilet. Found some sanitizer, 8oz does 40 gallons. Of course no one is happy because they don't have hot water, propane is next. The weight of 40 gallons of fresh water (320 lbs) really presses down on the rear duals. Got to find a way to check pressure and fill tires. The dealer put two new tires on the back because one of them went flat and the casing cracked. I found out I don't have an inverter, just an ac inlet that connects to a simple 20 amp charger with a 12.7 output voltage. Think I'll just by a small inverter for the 19" TV. The only generator I have is a 6500 watt Coleman Powermate that is the second loudest generator ever made and known for throwing cranks. Needs a tractor muffler and a spark arrester. When you can actually wash and poop in your RV it makes you feel kind of good.

I'm thinking that's from wind pressure against the overhang, but I'm not sure. They are caulked, but if wind pressure is doing it, I'm wondering about anchoring the overhang to the cab or bumper in some way??Greg
Wow!! I can't believe all the new folks that signed on ths summer!! Hi to you all.
We've been out with the rig every chance we get. The michigan farmers hate the drought but it makes for GREAT camping. Zero problems with the old girl.
Greg, I'm not sure but if ther is signs of water damage on the panneling on the inside area where you see the splits and or wrinkles in the siding, you may have wood rot in the structure at the top and bottom of the overhang. The overhang may beginning to sag. Try not to overload the loft until you can replace the supports.
Long live summer!!!
