Congratulations.
Your Dodge is all Dodge running gear.
Being a '76 and very low millage it
has been sitting a long time.
The motor, transmission, etc. is the same
as found in Dodge trucks, vans and cars.
It just needs a good tune-up.
Distributor cap and rotor, possibility wires
and plugs and most likely a crab kit for rebuild.
maybe a fuel filter or pump. Nothing that a 1976
car or truck would not need as routine maintenance.
Be sure to change the fluids.
If you are not mechanically inclined any tune-up shop
should be able to do that for you.
Being a Mopar fan from the day, be sure to pick up
and extra Transistor control modular for it.
They have been know to go out with out notice.
Neither Dad not I would leave home with out an extra one.
They were about $20.00 back then.
They are strong and reliable drive trains. I have put a
lot of miles on the Mopars.
Hope to start enjoying it soon.
