then the 700R4 came out for a rebuild and stall convertor:
Got it too pass emissions, on the road and some new/used ROH Snypers
The heater core decided to puke all over the interior, so that was a fun replacement
I've just been cleaning the interior and replacing a bunch of broken Radio / HVAC / Shifter plate / Console parts, as it was broken into for the stereo, and they must have used a sledge hammer !
I've been driving it around town and to work quite a bit, much more fun than my P/U
Plan for now is just keep repairing the small things ... still needs a HVAC / radio bezel and maybe a new pod, seats are in pretty rough shape, some small under-hood items like leaky vacuum lines, etc.
And of course original red paint and most of the original decals
Also picked up a set of Eibach prokit rear springs, and need to find matching fronts.
Well I took the red dragon to a local AutoX as my '82 was still a couple hours from being ready (oil change, etc.) ... I didn't like it after 5 of 8 runs it decided to not run, had to pull the driveshaft and rope tow it 4-5 miles home
Symptoms:
Starts very briefly and dies almost instantly
Can hear the fuel pump running / priming
Oil pressure gauge reads pressure so I don't think that's shutting it off
Time to get a fuel pressure gauge on it, and have the ignition module tested (suspect)

I would agree with ignition or ECU issues too if it has good fuel pressure at the rails. It could also be low pressure from the pump.

Let me know a price ... Car funds are hard to come by (too many projects) ... But it sits like a 4x4 !
Please tell me you took the re-stricter plate off the red dragon to give it a little more juice?
Hell yes I did !
The Red Dragon doesn't get a lot of love, between other projects but heres a few random things:
TPI nameplate and airfoil, worth 4–6 hp and if you believe that I also have a bridge for sale!
Snypers back on after winter:
due to a radio thief ... New radio / HVAC "pod" & trim plate, stereo mount kit, rewired the old deck, new hidden antenna so I can eliminate the broken external power antenna on the fender:
