Had a 78 LeBaron 2 door with a 360 bolted to I believe a 704. Had a hell of a time with a mechanical linkage kickdown trying to jimmy rig it from an Edelbrock 4 barrel to the side of that tranny. Once it got dialed in though, it really moved out. Basically a 2 door diplomat. Everyone here my age and older should remember the diplomat. I still have what somebody called Moon Rims from it with Firestone Indy 500 raised white letters. Tires only got 3500 miles on them if you are ever traveling through the jungles of Illinois with some extra cash.

AC Delco Gold are now made in China
I worked with a guy that used to work at AC in the shipping department. His job was to peal the "Made in Mexico" stickers off the oil filters and put them in a box that said "Made in the USA". Well, the box WAS made in the US.
This was over 35 years ago. Makes sense that China can make 'em cheaper than Mexico now. Ain't slave labor wonderful?
