SD Mopar filters for sale (cheap)
A while back I came into a case full of original Mopar air filter elements that may have been a discontinued part. They weren't the regular size ones I was used to that most of my cars use but were a little different shape. They're a little longer and have a separate foam filter attached to one end. I wasn't sure what vehicles they fit but after doing some research at a few local parts stores (and calling a cross reference hotline) I've got most applications figured out. First off the Mopar part number is 04268981. The first cross reference number I found is an STP brand which is SA6576. I believe the Fram number is the same but with a different two letters in front. The Puralator equivalent I found in Advance Auto Parts came up as A14652 (or AF14652) and I found a dusty, beat up one on their shelf and it matched up perfectly. These will fit most of the 1990 to 1992 LeBaron's, Daytona's, Shadow's, Spirit's, etc. with a 2.2 or a 2.5 turbo that have either a C or a J in the 8th digit of the VIN number. These ones I'm describing measure about 4 x 11 vs the other ones that are about 4.5 x 8. They also fit the 1990 model only Caravan/Voyager turbo minivans as well. If your not sure you can see it at http://www.mindspring.com/~shelbydodge/90_92AirFilter.jpg These may be discontinued or getting harder to find elsewhere since I did try to cross reference one in the Fram book at Wal-Mart tonight and they dropped the part number. I've got a bunch of these available and they don't fit anything I drive so I'd like to turn them into some much needed cash (or possibly trade some of them for something). They retail for around 7.00 or 8.00 dollars each so I'd like to get 3.00 for the first one and 2.00 for each additional one purchased and shipped at the same time. Shipping shouldn't be much. I figured somebody out there would be wise enough to stockpile up on a few spares since they're a regular maintenance item everyone needs plus the price is right. You could mail in a payment, use PayPal or I can use my Positive Impressions account to process a credit card payment over the phone. Let me know and I'll set some aside for you.

It was built by a guy named Jim down here, back in 2000. He used to have a shop in Upland called K.A.R. I think it's gone out of business now so I will just tell you he did me a number when my girlfriend asked him why he was taking so long. Got upset and a couple days later the engine was suddenly done. I didn't drive it much before I had bearing slap. He had me fooled into thinking it was the JE pistons I put in.

So the JE pistons looked better than good. We just hit the bores a tad to unglaze them. We found out that the crankshaft was way overground, and Jim had shoehorned in a bearing. Jim charged me a lot to knife the crank, too. Whatever, live and learn right? Well John from this list sold me a replacement crank and it's been turned and installed with new bearings (after balancing of course). Jim - Do you Yahoo!? The all-new My Yahoo!

RE: SD White Factory Valve Covers, on White Cars?
i had a black '90 lebaron GTC (2.5/t1) with the same color valve cover. mike '87 CSX #481 From: Joe Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: shelby-dodge@sdml.org Subject: SD White Factory Valve Covers, on White Cars?

If it ever quits raining,I'll go out and take a picture of the engine bay. Ralph Scott,thanks for adding the picture link in your last SDML post.It helped clear up an interesting tidbit,still wondering if the factory painted them( and many more cars had the white valve cover treatment). -Original Message- From: Ralph Scott Sent: 1/18/2005 3:55:07 PM To: shelby-dodge@sdml.org Subject: Re: SD White Factory Valve Covers, on White Cars? We have a White 92 Lebaron GTC Convertible with a Dingy White Valve Cover. My Son bought it last year from a list member for a daily driver.

RE: SD white Valve cover?
It's funny, I never understood why ChryCo bothered to paint silver a cast aluminum valvecover. I stripped mine once on my old Pacifica T1 and it looked ten times better. It's not like it's gonna rust or tarnish. -J Southern California Forced Induction 1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby Turbo II 1986 Chrysler Laser XE Turbo 1990 Plymouth Laser RS Turbo 1991 Mitsu Eclispe GSX Turbo(for $ale) 1990 VW Corrado G60 Supercharged (for $ale) 1984 Nissan 200SX Turbo 1985 Nissan 200SX Turbo 1983 Datsun 280ZX Turbo -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Paul Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 7:41 AM To: SDML Subject: SD white Valve cover? I looked at the picture. Just looks like what the silver valve covers turn into as the paint degrades/ fades. I have never seen a white valve cover on any TD. Silver in various states of looking bad. Red and black both wrinkle finish. That's it. The later cars doo seem to turn into that flat whitish silver color as they age. Early cars just seemed to peel off.
