Non-Ebody Mechanic Request
« on: April 12, 2014 - 07:53:38 AM »
I recently moved to Pennsylvania, I am living with family in Lebanon, PA which is about 40 miles from Carlisle and I am looking for a mechanic that knows Mopars and/or older cars.  It does runs but not like it use to.  If anyone could point me to someone that they know and trust that would be great.  I own a 1971 Dodge Super Bee with a 383 magnum automatic.   I will be attending Chysyler's at Carlisle and it needs to be reliable.  It has been in the past and now I just feel a little apprenhension to take it out.

What kind of problems are you having? Is this something that a basic tune-up or carb adjustment won't cure?

ya, do the basic tune up first. Might solve all your problems. New plug wires, plugs, distributor cap and rotor.
Check timing.
