The Neutral safety switch

Hi all

As you may know I am having issues with my 79 LeBaron. It can cut out for no reason and there is no pattern in the cut-outs. Last time it did it was a week ago when warm and just idling in the garage.
However there was one occasion some time ag…

A/C Delete kit ?

Hi Guys

Since we never experience extreme heat here in Denmark, and the A/C on my 79 LeBaron is not working anyway, I would like to remove it from the car.
I have searched a bit online, and someone mentions a delete kit for this purpose, but I have no…

Power steering issue

Hi folks

The power steering on my 79 Lebaron is working fine when I drive along, but not in idle when it´s needed the most..
I know some work has been done to it when it came to Denmark, and the seller said it had an issue with turning more to one side than the other, but that should have been fixed.

Changing ignition lock in 79 LeBaron

Hi guys

My ignition lock is a bit loose, so I have decided to change it.

Lean Burn / SCC trouble…

Hi Guys

I just purchased a 1979 LeBaron for Summer use here in Denmark and joined your forum.

The 318 engine has the dreaded Lean burn system with the SCC computer.
I am having trouble with the engine cutting out about the time when the thermostat opens.
It has happened about 5 times over the last two weeks on short trips, but it´s not consistent, and it can happen also when the car is warm and idling: I testet it today and the engine cut out twice over a period of 30 seconds when it…
