I've driven a '73 Duster, a '64 Plymouth Fury, and a '89 Dakota 4X4 V6 (can you say dog?), and an old Dart that I cannot remember the year. It had the slant six. Maybe about a 1970? It would occasionally stall on left turns through intersections. That was fun

A veteran Dodge guy would know to take three right turns, instead.

Good to hear Jay! It is starting to cloud up out here and looking like there may be a storm or two tonight.

You do not need to make three turns with a Dodge because they trun so short, that is why they die when you truned left because all the fuel rolls to one side of the tank.

Afternoon all.

Just leaving work to try and get one more mowing out of my lawnmower. I need to pull out both plugs and clean them before I can get it to start. It is on its last tire (leg). I figure I need about 10 more times to make it until fall.

That's probably because it does not have three plugs...
