Default Got my winter beater...turbo..(pics)

So i picked up this 86 Lebaron Turbo Convertable for the winter...its pretty pimp, white leather, power everything...and the turbo spools really loud. The only problem is it pisses the power steering fluid out of the press fitting and the shifter is stuck and i guess the shift lock release is broken because you can shift without applying the brake. The tranny also slips...or takes a few seconds to engage...sometimes while stopped and sometimes while driving..but yeah pretty pimpin...

i have no clue...anyone know??


and yeah im going to check the tranny fluid...maybe throw in some syncromesh...as far as the pressfitting on the power steering line...anyone know if i can just ghetto caulk it with silcone or anything...its high pressure i think so that might not work..

you might be able to go to napa and get a new fitting or o-ring for the ps leak.that almost as pimp as the 2.5 turbo spirit i just picked up for 400. long live the turbo dodge , you will have fun if you decide to turn it up.
