1992 Dodge Stealth R/T

This is my latest vehicle purchase. A 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T in blue. Car had a few electrical problems and thus didnt run when I bought it. Lady I got it from liked to park too close to the park curb. For some reason the main harness was hanging below the radiator. She kept grinding against the curbs and wore the insulation. After hitting a snowbank (Yhea, sports care in winter eh) the exposed wires corroded until it just wouldn't run anymore. A shop wanted $1600 to replace the harness. So thats where I come in. After realizing the issue exactly, and $2000 later, I had a Stealth. Took about 6hrs to repair the harness and it was running. Engine had a ticking sound from the valvetrain. I reaserched it and apparently these engines had a poor lifter design. I guess the oil drains easilly or somethin. When I took it for a test drive it would run just fine, but when I would accelerate, the engine would stumble. After some pondering, I figured I would check the plugs. Staring at the engine, I noticed the intake covers the rear cylinder head. I thought, I bet the rear plugs have never been replaced. So I got new plugs. Pulled the intake and Voila! No1 plug wire was just resting on the plug. Was burnt right though. I have no idea how she thought it was okay. Also the plugs were platinum plugs and had negative electrodes left. Just unreal. Replaced everything, and it runs just awesome. Other than the burnt out clutch, it still did a wicked burnout. hehe. Now its the begining of winter. Once the Cirrus is out of the garage the engine and trans will come out of the Stealth and I will mock my 5.2l in there. Well see how that goes. Cheers.
