  • 403 cubic inch engine, 187,000 miles. Loaned to me by elderly original owner who wishes to sell it. Just replaced leaking rear main seal, air shocks and muffler. Will be detailing very dirty engine and interior, repairing a minor fender dent and buffing paint. Rust beginning to appear on lower doors and fenders, not economical to address.
    Automatic climate control blower does not work except automatically on low when AC is on to prevent evaporator icing.
    Lack of heat for defogging, defrosting, de-icing etc is a problem.
    Owner says he found and jumped a burned contact years ago, but then that repair shorted.
    Automatic climate dash controls appear to be rare, with a vertical temperature dial on left, and a single horizontal lever.
    Am just beginning to look into problem.
