Dodge 440 Brougham 1978

Hey there,
My lady and I just purchased a 78 dodge brougham that did not come with any manuals, think i could get a copy of the ones you have?
Thanks!

I hope you enjoy the Dodge Brougham as much as we did with our first motorhome. Ours was a 1977 Dodge Brougham 22'. Had a few issues with it on the road but nothing serious. I hope you have an Edelbrock carb on yours. After I installed the Edelbrock carb, it was rock solid reliable. Over the years, I installed the carb, then the Performer intake manifold and finally headers. It was probably the most over-powered 22' Class C on the road. We absolutely loved it. Drove it 5 years then bought a 1987 Minnie Winnie.

Hello!

I myself purchased the same RV today! Mine, unfortunately, did not come with the manual. Any chance you could share with me? It would be a huge help, as the previous owner knew next to nothing about the vehicle and it is going to be a fixer upper!

Enjoy the motorhome.

There is a chance that the distributor is not working at the correct level anymore. Stretched springs, leaking vacuum advance, and other things can prevent the RV from making the power that it should .

A place like "Clutches Unlimited" in Midway City CA can rebuild the distributor and make at least as much power as it made when new.

Check the rims. Probably do not have the R - for Radial rims with a circle around it (indicating that Radial tires are acceptable for this style rim! ) The first generation of radial rims had some problems, and could not use radial tires to their 'full rated' capacity listed on the rim. Later designs had more weight capacity, and have a circle around the R.

Good luck!

Fred.

Congrats! Enjoy.

Pictures? :)

Now all you need is some nice weather!
Enjoy your new rig.
