My 1980 dasher has been blowing lots of oil into the intale lately and now is having starting issues even though it sucks fuel well and the glow plugs tested well. My new heat shields will be here soon so I can test the compression so pending the results I will probably be doing a re-ring with new c...

I'd be interested in the engine without the head if it is a good 11mm block, I live pretty close to you to boot. Name your price.

Looking for a cheap 1.6 to rebuild for my dasher wagon I live in cavalier north dakota. I have a very new 11mm 1.5 head tuat i plan to use on it so head not critical just must be a good crack free block.

I'll take a look at those, thanks.

I've found a bunch of quantum hitches for sale, are they identical as far as the under carriage is concerned?

I'm going to put a tow hitch on my 1980 dasher to pull my little 14' aluminum fishing boat. Any suggestions on what type and where to get it?

Nice, a bushing kit for my dasher is $80 for some reason so I won't be installing one anytime soon.

I didn't think about that, it shows it is in the book.

Yup that's what I figure, that part will be impossible to find in itself.

Yup the ceramic ones. Its melted pretty good hope it holds up.

Yeah there are a bunch in the circuit but no bulb holder.

The picture in my dasher manual shows that there should be a bulb holder on the printed circuit just to the right of the clock but when I stuck a mirror up there there was no holder, so what the heck did it fall out and is missing or did some models have a not so accessable bulb?

Got her going, there is a mini fuse box above the main fuse box with 2 fuses in it total, it was sort of melted, but the fuses were intact, I wiggled it and the blower came on. I checked the old blower and it was bad so I imagine one thing led to the other. The manual is way wrong on all the wire di...

I checked the fuses first thing and they are ok I'll check the voltage there to see where it is at.

yup, it sure is a pain, hope it is the switch or relay and not some fried wire in an obscure place.
