I still have some friends here who knew me in real life, and some of you knew my family as well.

My dad passed away yesterday. Mom found him collapsed in the hallway. His heart completely gave up...

I was very close with my father, and I am totally lost now.

My 1981 Plymouth Reliant and 1984 Chrysler LeBaron Mark Cross Edition

And my scabby 1986 Chevy Cavalier I have had since the start of 2022.

Two before & after shots of my two Chrysler K car engine compartments. Cleaning is very important to me. A clean engine is a nice engine to work on.

Chrysler 2.2L
Mitsubishi 2.6L

If I read correctly, it's the same exact chipset old Speak & Spell toys used, made in the same time period by Texas Instruments, as you said. I believe the Chrysler voice is the same, too.

I need to figure out how to get it to self test and read all of its functions out. This is the only one I know how to activate easily.

My LeBaron does indeed talk.

It's a Mark Cross car. So as well as being fully dressed on the outside, it's also very loaded on the interior. All leather, all custom colors and patterns for the Mark Cross package.

Nah I honestly get it. I have so much sideloaded software filtering crap over there, my timeline is pretty much what it was before the platform went Toxic Deluxe Super Plus 7000: BRAIN ROT

I rather just not piss people off here so I'll do this, lay low, and car post.

Hello.

I hope my antique K car posting entertains a few of you.

I do not browse the timeline here at all.

I do however read and will reply to comments.

My LeBaron is coming along pretty nicely. Got a better look and discovered it’s rust free. Very solid clean car.

This car runs on a carb so none of this stuff is needed and can be disposed of.

This is how it looked originally with it's emissions era Mikuni carb. Very complicated and malfunctioned constantly.

Simplicity is key.

Webber 32/36 DGV Carburetor conversion.

Really, only folks who know cars will really understand what I had to do here, custom fabricating all the linkage for the gas pedal, cruise and one other cable.

Antique Car, Chrysler, KCar, K,Car, K-Car, K Car, station wagon

I'm going to post here a little here and there. I have very little to offer, but some friends still come over to see how I'm doing on the other platform, so I want to return said effort.

My life is all cars and only cars.

So here is my first year plymouth Reliant K wagon.

so, if there was not engine connected to this transmission, it could still move whatever its installed in with just this?

Hi.

Thanks for stopping in, I'm still alive and well. I am not active here, but I check in on you on occasion. I'm glad to see you doing well and thriving.

Anyway you take care of yourself, friend, I'll see you around.
