1977 Dodge Power Wagon Camper

Rockauto is always a good spot for inexpensive parts. Because of the camper possibly needing a custom exhaust you might check into getting the manifold welded by a welder that knows how to do cast iron right. If it is a stock manifold then there should be no problem finding a aftermarket. Someone on here mentioned the ballast resistor going bad. Very common problem. buy one and put it in the glove box for when you need it. Not an "if" but "when". My 318 ate one about year and but my 360 about 18-24 months. That should have a rock solid Torqueflite trans that should just need some clean fluid. Stick with dino fluid in the axles because the synthetic will probably cause the seals to seep. Stick with a dino or blend oil for the engine that is designed for older engines. The classic car guys can help you with some brands you can get locally that will be the right oil. Oil manufacturers only backwards compatibility their main line oils for about 20 yrs. They make specialty oils for older engines. Those year Dodges had a penchant for sticking brake calipers after replacing the pads. The used a carbon/metal piston that would get a rust ring that was hard to clean off so when you pushed them back in they would stick. Fortunately they were cheap calipers to buy. I'll look in my garage tonight I might still have some old Dodge service manuals laying around and if so you can have them.
