    I am not sure, I have seen 400's with a manual (non-turbo) so I assumed the 600's would have been available with manual transmission.

    Found the reason it ran bad, injectors were clogged. Swapped out a new set and it ran great. Drove up on the trailer for a trip to the shop for exhaust. First time in over 2 years.:dance:

    Nice that it was only a simple problem to get her running fine.

    Well, I was approched by a mechanic at the Mopar store next door to my dealer about buying an 87 LeBaron Turbo for $300. I decided to take the van to the bodyshop for an estimate on paint and body work. Wound up leaving it there, should be ready in a couple weeks.:thumbsup:

    Is the LeBaron going to be your next project?
