Also, be aware that there are differences between even close year models, and makes. Back in the day, Dodge Darts and Plymouth Valiants were the same body, but often different engines, transmissions, and such. If you were lucky, they had a slant Six engine. Those were easy to fix, and very reliable. I drove one ( a Dart) from Florida to Nevada in 1978, with a broken cam shaft. Determined that when I popped off the valve cover to replace the gasket found the thing broken between cylinders 2 & 3. Broken ends were rusty as heck. Probably like that when I bought it. I did fix it, but probably could have gotten away with leaving it as it was....</p></blockquote><p></p>
