SD> Re: Parting Out: 1985 Chrysler Laser Turbo
How much for a CV axle? Joey Dalton Hillbilly Racing I have a 1985 Chrysler Laser Turbo that is too rusty to repair. The car is pretty much complete. For some reason, it has 4 lug swiss cheese wheels. The 525 transaxle will not shift into gear, the front fenders are shot, and the gauge cluster is cracked. Let me know what you need. I can provide pictures of all parts. Any reasonable offers will not be refused. This car is located in Nunnelly, TN 37137.

SD> Re: Repositioning the Radiator?
I would mount an Omni radiator in it. It is more narrow. It would then use the same rad hoses as a t-II car, easy to get, and it would fit good. You would have to make a couple mounts, but nothing too bad. You could even cet them from a car in a yard, then just weld or screw them in. Or you could get a T-II rad with the cooler brackets for a direct bolt in. This would leave you around a 6 inch gap to run the hoses on the drivers side, right where the factory cooler was. If you have air, you would need a narrower condenser, I belive the minivan condensor was skinnier. This is what I hope to do soon, to mount a cummins cooler in my Daytona.

Rear wheel drive, direct fit bolt on. Seems like a no brainer to me. I have also thought of building a rear wheel drive Daytona.

Re: SD> Parts For Sale
Roy, that is insorrect. Fuel pump block off's are on all 88 / older blocks, 89 up do not have them. An 88 C/S Daytona would not have came from the factory with an intercooler. Someone has added it. The factory motor would have been a T-I, but it is possible that if someone added an intercooler, it could have had an entire t-II engine and everything installed. Also, are you sure its really a C/S? I have seen Shelby Z's that someone has added C/S emblems to the fender. Look at the VIN. If its got an A in the 8th didgit, its a factory T-II car. If its an 88, it would have to be a shelby Z. 10th VIN digit should be J for 88. if its a C/S it will have an AGB on the fender tag. An 88 C/S would have the 8th digit of the VIN an E (2.2 T-I), 10th J. 89 C/S's were available with T-II's, on the AGS package. If thats what it is, it will have AGS on the fender tag, an A in the 8th VIN spot, and a K in the 10th. TO tell if thats a T-I or T-II, There's really no way to tell on the outside. Black valve cover and T-II turbo can be added to a T-I, so that is no real way to tell for sure. Same block and head. Without taking them apart its hard to say for sure. If its got a grey valve cover and intake, on an 88 C/S, I would bet its a T-I like it should be, but with an intercooler added.

Got it all straightened out friday afternoon. Thursday night, I took it for a test drive. I had let it idle for 45 miniuts, no changes. This was WAY more steam then you would normally see, even on a cold day. Water was spitting out the tailpipe. But I let it cool down, and the coolant level was perfect, so with no signs of any real problem, I gave it a test. At 5 psi, the engine would cut out and backfire, spit and sputter. Then it just died. Pushed it back in the driveway, and after it cooled I tried again, no start. So friday I start looking. Still not starting at all. Cam timing was fine, no codes, nothing. Go to check ignition timing, no signal from timing light. Check into it, no spark. Turned out to be a cap / rotor. Replaced that, started right up, with no problems at all. No more steam either. Wierd. It ran fine till I replaced the gasket. Must have gotten some dirt or grease in the cap when putting timing belt in after the gasket swap.

The thing to do would be to find out what the centerline of the TAFT s2 is, then use a degree wheel to set it correctly. I also use a Taft S2, and square tooth sprocket.

SD> Re: question on head swap
The round tooth sprocket and the square tooth sprocket should have the same timing. Any difference should be the cam itself. I could be wrong though. However, remember that the same roller cam was used with the 88 cars that still had square teeth, so I doubt they would make a noticible chang in timing like that. You could always get a set of offset cam keys and see if that fixes it, and keep the roller, or swap in the slider, and see how that runs. Hello, over the weekend I installed a 89 roller cam head onto my 87 turbo 2 motor. when it came time for the timming belt pulley on the cam, I just swaped those so I could use my existing belt and not have to change the bottom pulley as well.

Re: SD> Interior Question
I didnt realize the seats were different. The gauge in my 86 C/S has the electronic speedo. So cable. So baybe it was a mid year change? It has a cable, but that drives the cruise. Remember that they all have electronic pickup at the tranny, for the EFI. everything will swap for the most part since it was virtually the same interior from 1984 to 1989 with some minor cosmetic and vendor changes along the way, so for the most part everything will swap except the instrument cluster (gages).

Re: SD> Interior Question
Yes, everything will work. There were a couple wiring changes, but it will all go in. Are you keeping the 87 dash? Would be easier, if its any good. Everything else is direct bolt in. I cant think of any differences, other than the stitching/material on the seat, and the very minor differences in the dash. Actually, the differences there are only the gauge faces, and the ones with the sat belts hooked to the doors had the lower dash change. Everything else was color changes only. I acquired a 1987 Daytona as my daily driver. I also have (had) a 1986 Daytona. The 86 daytona has a beautiful interior, but has a bad case of cancer the floor pans, firewall, and rear wheel tubs are badly rusted through. I junked the 86, but pulled the interior out. My 87's interior has seen better days. I know that both interiors are slightly different, but I was wondering if I the 86 complete interior would fit in the 87.

My 90 Daytona shelby A/C compressor is so hard to turn when it gets hot,that it trys to stall the engine.I bought a new mopar compressor and dryer. Should I put R12 back in or change it over to 134?

SD> a/c compressor
The A/C compressor in my 88 started making a lot of noise, and stretching the belt, so I swapped it with a used one from a 91. The replacement looked a little different, but the clutch and pully were the same, and it bolted right in. It worked great, except it has a gasket that leaks all the refrigerant. It is near the clutch end of the compressor, the end bolts on to the main body of the compressor, and I can see the oil bubble out when I tried to fill it. Can this gasket be replaced? I am really trying to avoid buying a new compressor, I just dont have the cash. The old one I pulled out was hard to turn by had before I emptied the system, but now it turns easily.

SD> used turbo, no boost
I blew the turbo up in my driver a while back. It smoked like a freight train but still make around 5 psi. I pulled it out and swapped in an old garret t-! unit I had laying around, after converting it to T-II by swapping compressor covers and swingvalve housings and grinding the notch for the intake runner. Bolted it in and put it all back together. Car sounds good, idles fine, no smoke, but no boost either It wont boost at all, in fact it sits at 2 inches of vaccuume at WOT. No hoses leaking or anything. Idles at 15 inches. Sounds normal, acts normal, just no boost. I thought the wastegate can's arm came off the swingvalve, but its fine. No vaccuume leaks. Anyone have a suggestion? Or is the turbo just dead? It was good when pulled, but had been around a while. The shaf was tight, no excessive play, spun freely. No ideas here.

Is it possible for a short to happen inside a starter? THe brown wire betweek starter relay and starter solenoid in one of my cars is grounded. A circit tester lights up when placed on the battery positive and the brown wire. I checked with a DMM, there is .4 ohms between the negative battery post and the starter solenoid plug. I pulled the wire out of the loom and it looks fine. No visible breaks in the insulation. I felt down there and the lug on the starter is not touching the block or anything.

SD> Re: Dead relays?
Well, figured out half the trouble. The fuel pump wasnt coming on because the engine hadnt been cranked, therefore no distributor crank reference signal from the HEP. DU!!! I figured it out when I checked for power to the coil. There wasnt any, so I plugged in a spare distributor that had a HEP in it. Plugged it in, turned it, the LM got a reference signal and the pump came to life. Now with the one onthe engin plugged in, when I turn the car to run it powers the pump for its initial charge like it is supposed to. I think I figured out the starter problem as well. There is a short in the brown wire between the relay and the solenoid. I think I know why... There is coolant leaking from the back of the head!!! Seems to be getting the starter wires wet, causing the short. Do any of the intake/exahust bolt holes break into a water jacket in the head? That would explain the coolant leak...

Yeah, my 88 Shelby Z had a factory airbag. Its in the VIN, I forget offhand which didgit and what letter it is, but you can see in the VIN if the car has airbag, passive or manual belts, whatever. Mine has passive on pass side, manual on drivers side, with airbag. But when I bought it, it had tapped something, and the bag was blown, so I tossed it in the trash and installed an 84 tuff wheel. actually the dodge daytona did have an airbag installed in the steering wheel in 1988. my 1988 shelby Z with a build date of april 1988 has a factory installed airbag wheel, and the stock wiring harness is a 1988 airbag harness. this car was not modded to have this. its a factory harness setup. at the end of the 1988 production model year airbags were phased in. there were a total of 1,859 daytonas of all type in 1988 produced with the airbag available for purchase by the public at the end of 1988.

They had been there less than 2 weeks before, but I didnt have any cash. They also crushed a complete and VERY restorable 58 Desoto Firesweep Sportsman I had been ASKING to buy! There are no words for how pissed that made me am I the only one noticing that since the price of steel is rising, our 80s Mopars are lasting a very short time in the scrap yards before they get crushed and sold? Our local yards used to have 200 to 300 L, H, P, AA, G, and J bodies at any one time. Now they have 50 and a lot of open space. I am concerned because our supply of plentiful and cheap parts could be coming to an abrupt halt.

Trying to swap my bad turbo in the 88 Shelby Z. I have heard of this being done without pulling the head, or dropping the engine. Unhook the mount and rotate it...Anyone have more info on this? I have been fighting it. IT sucks. Tomorrow I think Im gonns pull the axles and dump the coolant and just drop the engine. Seems like that will be faster than trying to reach this crap. after 3 hours, I have gotten ONE of the nutts off.

SD> Turbos Unleashed
Just wanted to let everyone know about the experience I just had. Ordered a couple of gaskets from Chris, online late one night. My order shipped the next morning, and was in my hands the next afternoon. Opened it up and one of the gaskets was wrong. Called him, and he IMMEDIATELY sent me the correct gasket, and REFUSED to let me pay him for the shipping. I told him there was no need to lose money shipping me an order for 2 dollars worth of merchandise. He says it was his mistake, well, yes it was, but he told me to keep the wrong part, and made sure to fix things, and I dont expect businesses to go out of their way on a $2 order and LOSE MONEY, lol. Chris is great, and great to deal with. We just had him rebuild a turbo for my friends Charger, good turnaround time, great service, and his braided lines are NICE, hehe.

Re: SD> Poor Charger.
H, You are right. The thing that ruins its looks is not the color, its the lack of stripes. Black would look great. A nice semi gloss though, like the hoods of old 6bbl Roadrunners and stuff.

SD> Re: dim headlights WAS: Headlight module for LeBarons
Mine are very dim as well. I know headlights dim over time, and mine are old and need to be replaced. But I believe the headlight swith causes them to dim as well. The rehostat for the interior lights is messed up, the lights do not dim correctly. I figure the connections for the headlights are degraded as well. I have had several headlight switches fail in the past, and I keep several spares from other cars, but they all have the same problems. I have been thinking of adding relays to mine, to brighten the headlights, and also to keep the low beams on while the high beams are on. Before I do this, are the headlight switches available new still? Are there downsides to haveing the high and low beams on at the same time (always wondered why this wasnt done anyway, more light seems better/safer to me). What has everyone else done about dim lights? What kind of relays should I use, with the current draw of the headlights?

I was wondering if someone knew the wiring formula for me to convert this to a later model plug in setup so I can simply plug & play a nice late model factory (non-Infinity) Chrysler stereo radio in it. I think I've got all the supplies I need, as I recently cut off some of the female gray & black connectors from a few Dodges from the junkyard to splice in but I need to know what goes where to make everything work correctly. The wires coming from the mono AM radio are as follows: a light green next to a black wire going to a black twin connector (which connect to the dash speaker harness) and a red wire & a orange wire going to a bigger white plug. The red appears to be the power and the orange wire routes to a removable bulb lighting the faceplate. From prior notes on file the newer wiring is as follows (with minor wire color changes): left front speaker- brown/yellow stripe, dark green (spliced together in the harness) brown/red stripe right front speaker- dark blue, violet (spliced together in the harness) dark blue/red stripe radio memory-pink nightime illumination- orange ignition on/acc radio power- red nighttime illumination dimmer- yellow I'll only be using two door speakers in this system (it's a temporary beater) but I'd like to figure out this formula since I've got to do it again on my 1982 Rampage Sport to put in a custom stereo w/amps later on. ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

I will be looking for this stuff once I figure out what I need. Thanks! ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions? Visit http://www.sdml.org/ To be removed, visit http://www.sdml.org/pages/leave.html

List price from the dealer, If I remember correctly, was around 12-15 bucks a pop, so Id say If they are NS1, 20 to 25 bucks each would be about right. I believe you can still get them on parts voice, though. I dont have the Part numbers available off hand, so I cant check. Now as parts voice runs out, the price will go up. If I couldnt find em anywhere else id pay maybe 30 bucks each. I need several sets myself, and I want NOS ones, I also need some for an 86 turbo Z. I need the Dodge and Daytona Turbo Z for the rear, and I need 2 sets of the C/S fender badges, and 3 of the 87-88 Dodge, and Daytona badges, and 2 Shelby Z badges. I have a Pacifica badge NOS that I bought years ago when this was normal inventory at a dealer. If you can get em for a decent price, I say get em. Even if they are available now, they wont be for long. 5 years from now, you may be the only one who has any. If I was restoring another car then, I know id be looking for good emblems for it.

SD> rear disk brake swap question
My 88 shelby z has a bad rear caliper. This is the solid disk withthe crappy screw doohicky e-brake. Since I will be replacing parts, I want to swap in the 89 and later setup with the improved drum e-brakes. I'd like the vented disks, but I doubt I will find any in the junkyard. The solid disk/drum e-brake should be easy to find. When I install this, will I need to swap master cylenders or proportioning valves? I dont know the size of the pistons in the calipers. If I DO find the vented setup, would the master cyl/prop valve need to be switched? Just wanting to know what I will need to pull off at the yard. Thanks.

SD> Re: Shelby Wheels
Those look like the wheels sold in the DC book. I dont think they are a 4'' bolt circle. The 4'' and 100 mm are so close, if he used a ruler of mesuring tape, hed think it was 4''. Id bet money those are 4 on 100 FWD wheels. Joey Shelby was a sourch of aftermarket wheels back in the late 70s and early 80s. I'd bet those are for a Pinto, or Vega. I know the Vegas (H body) and the HS body (Monza,Sunbird,Starfire,Skyhawk) had 4x4" pattern. But the offset looks like a FWD application. I have heard of people using 4x4" on 4x100mm. but I NEVER would. The custom wheels I had on my 1980 Sunbird had oval offset washers and slotted holes in the rim, so they would work with 100mm or 4". What is weird is that they are standard patterened wheels, but he has metric lugnuts. Back then I would assume that anything US would have had standard studs. ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions? Visit http://www.sdml.org/ To be removed, visit http://www.sdml.org/pages/leave.html
SD> Re: 85 T1 engine / T2 Induction setup, what parts to go with?
I have a 85 T1 engine from a Turbo Z that im using for my 84 Rampage.. Would this have the 10mm or 11mm headbolts? 10mm What mopar performance head gasket should I run.. stock T1 head w/T2 component buildup (GLHS style) You want the T-! gasket. Even if you use a crossdrilled head. The block isnt crossdrilled, so use the non crossdrill gasket. Ive used crossdrill gaskets on non drilled engines and not noticed any difference form the non drill gasket, but I have heard that the coolant holes are different sized (smaller) in the drilled gasket, to make better use of the crossdrilling, and that will reduce colling if not crossdrilled. I cannot confirm that, just hearsay, but if you are ordering the gasket, they are the same price, so even if the little holes are the only differenc, they wont do a bit of good, so might as well get the other just in case. also any differences in the water pump housings G body vs. L body? Yes, the L body housing on the block is different. The heater core return is located on the g body water pump, L body housing does not have this, the return is on the radiator. So you need to match the pump housing to the radiator you will use. I had a common block in my other L body and had a sweet 1 piece pan gasket.. Went to the parts store and all they had were the cork gaskets listed.. Anyone have a 1 piece pan gasket on a 88 and older engine? no, only the common blocks have this. You need to get the cork gasket's rubber ends. Only use the rubber ends, forget the cork, and run some ultra black high temp silcone for the rest.

SD> Re: 1985 T1 engine/auto trans how to seperate?
Chris Meant to get back to you sooner, sorry for the delay. Im assuming this is the drivetrain from the 85 daytona, so its sitting on the floor already? You can pull the tranny off, leaving just the torque converter. It should come off if you pull straight out. If its still in a car, skip that, it just makes things easier to reach. Next pull the 4 bolts that hold the TC to the flexplate. They are 18mm. Easy to reach with a wrench, if the tranny is out of the way. If not, you will need to pull the lower inspection cover and get them from there with a socket or wrench, just turn the engine over to reach all 4. That should have it off of ther, then just pull the flex plate. *6 and newer have 8 17mm bolts. An 85 will have 6, Im not sure if they are still 17mm, or larger, with that setup. After that its ready to bolt on a flywheel and clutch, just remember the flywheel needs longer bolts than the flexplate, so use the bolts from the 5 speed donor. Joey Dalton Ive never delt with the automatics before and have no idea what needs to be done to seperate the trans from the engine.. I\ve unbolted the transmission bolts and this wont seperate.. If anyone knows how to do this and the sizes of the bolts that need to be removed, that would be fantastic! I didnt want to try and pry it apart because I was unsure.. Also.. I have to borrow or buy tools as I need them sence a good majority of my matco tools grew legs and broke a window on their way out of my truck.. :( thanks ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD> Re: Cam Timing Question
The roller cam and lifters drop right in. Do not swap the cam caps! May be off a little, from one head to the other. Yes, its been done, yes it works, but it can also cause lots of bearing clearance problems. If you want to plug the slider oil squirters, for better oil pressure, just squeeze a little anerobic gasket maker into the squirter groove before you bolt the cam in. You can use the 85 square tooth gear just fine. If you feel the need to adjust, go for it. It will be fine either way. The car mar drive a little better by tuning the cam timing, for more bottom end, or more top end. But it will be fine as is. If you decide to adjust, any of the 3 methods will work fine. Removing the cam key just makes it hard to set. Offset keys are great because they make it easy, and you know where it is. Adjustable gear is best for frequent changes, so you wont need that. Before you do the T-II swap, you might want to consider the 11mm head bolt conversion. Joey Dalton I am planning on swapping my 85 2.2 Turbo Cam and Slider Rockers over to a 1990 Turbo Cam with Rolling Rockers. Dimensionally, everything should just drop inremove the cam caps and swap everything. My question is regarding the cam sprocket and the effect on timing. I am planning on simply unbolting the square tooth cam sprocket from my 85 cam and bolting it on the newer 90 slider cam. Apparently, doing this will effect my cam timing by retarding things 4 degrees. Am I correct? Is the solution to this using off-set cam key (like those provided by FWDperformance for $50) or is the solution to use an adjustable cam sprocket (also available for ~$130)? Of course I prefer not to spend any money Do I need the keys or adjustable sprocket or can I simply line up the cam timing manually as specified by Donavan on his webpage? (http://www.thedodgegarage.com/timing_belt.html) I do not plan on tweaking this after I have the timing set. I should continue to use the cam caps from the original 85 cam and not the newer 1990 roller cam caps? I know the difference in oiling channels but more oil on the cam is probably still a good thing, even though the roller doesn't need it. The engine in question is an 85 2.2 Turbo I. Plans are to convert it to a stage II calibrated TII in the very near future. I was going to do this swap prior to swapping the turbo and manifolds and other TII required parts. Anything else I need to be aware of? Thanks. -- ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions? Visit http://www.sdml.org/ To be removed, visit http://www.sdml.org/pages/leave.html

SD> Re: Shifter Compatability (shadow vs. daytona)
Yep, fits and works fine. Some body styles had a slightly different bend in the lever, to clear different consoles, but I have seen shadow shifters, if I remember right, they looked identicle. The neon shifter is bent a little more, but works fine in a Daytona. The SRT 4 shifter looks good in there. Pretty much any of them will fit, and work, just some will be a better reach from the armrest, and not be up in the cupholders or anything. The daytona lever is baisically straight, so any of them with little bend will be perfect.

SD> Re: 555 to 523 mpg?
No typo. At 70 mph in 5th, I was turning like 2,400 rpm with the 555. Now its 2,900. Better milage is brobably from the engine running in a better spot in the powerband. I can feel a huge difference at part throttle on my engine at those two speeds. At 2400 it isnt pulling hard. At 2900 i can feel the power coming in. I guess its running more efficiently. It surprized me, I figured Id lose a couple of MPG. Joey Sorry for my ignorance, but is this a typo? If not please explain how the mileage went up ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

Re: SD> Re: dual engine
no idea. I never said it couldnt be done, just that they sold new hubs. Maybe it was mostly just to convert the wheel pattern? With a RWD pattern in the rear, you would want to convert the front if you wanted to have the wheels match. Maybe he did like the other guy here said, and put the end of an axle in there? I towed 2 of my cars 5 miles, with no axles in them, when I moved recently. The wheel bearings are loose in the hubs of both cars. Ive done that many times before, however, for longer distances, with no problems. I had never known it was bad for it, until it happened a couple of months ago, even then I didnt know why, till it was said on here. Now Im wondering if I will have to replace the hubs/bearings, or If they will tighten up again when I install axles? Anyone know? Joey ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD> Re: dual engine
When MP sold the k frame, they also sold front hubs, eleminated need for front cv nut, and converted front bolt circle to match musclecar wheels Joey first off you cannot use the stock FWD hubs and bearings on the front since everything is pressed together on the FWD wheelbearings. as such if you did this there would be nothing to retain the wheel hub from flying off the car in an extreme cornering situation except mebbe the fact that it is pressed onto the bearings inner race. Scairy thought. you could probably use the stock front bearings and hubs if you use the outer axle stub and spline assembly from a FWD axle, and nut and cotter key it in place on the hub to keep it from pulling apart. the nut on a FWD axle is what holds the hub from coming off the bearings inner race. ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD> Re: A-555 to A-523 conversion
> What > about trans mount bracket and bobble strut brackets? Some grinding will be needed on the trans mount bracket. You'll see where. Also, the clutch arm may want to pivot lower (not sure about '90). You can either use a '91+ clutch cable or re-key the arm by grinding off one of the splines. You'll see what I mean. I left mine alone, the cable adjuster adjusted the cable, it works fine, but not all cars will adjust correctly. > Will the 90+ > shifter bolt to my 89 console or do I need to install the 90+ console? Your old console and boot is fine, looks fine. Thats what I used, before I cut the lever in half, lenghtened the bottom, and added a hurst t handle. Now the t handle sits on the top of the boot. Shifts NICE!!! MUCH BETTER transmission than the 555, better gearing for the g body, and stronger design (no need for chrome moly end plate) even better if you can get a 523 with 385 gears. Mine does. Look in 2.5 n/a daytonas. VERY nice with heavy cars. Mine picked up 3 MPG by turning 500 more rpm at the same speed. Joey > Is the shifter cable adjustment procedure the same as the 89? TIA, RICK Yes, but it's not that critical since you don't have the reverse lockout business. ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?
