I hope that you left the driver's door assembled to use as a guide... I'd need a road map, instructional dvd and a cooler of beer to figure that out Those are both the driver and passenger door trim. I haven't pulled the trim off the two side or two back doors yet. Let alone all the wood trim still on the dash and inside. I swear Starcraft used an entire tree to outfit my van. There are also several pieces on the doors I couldn't get off for one reason or another yet. _________________________ '87 Ford e250 Starcraft camper van v8 5.8L 351W-HO Wayward Pussy Inn\|Facebook

Grogan14 member Registered: August 07th 2011 6:43 pm Posts: 103 Loc: Live Free Or Die	I finished up the retrofit to a standard Chrysler electronic ignition in my 1987 Dodge B150. I recently bought this well-used van for $400. After freshening the engine and rebuilding the carb, I still had a terrible bog upon hard acceleration, and my timing was bouncing around. It had the spark control computer, but not the lean burn carb, so the change-over wasn't bad at all. Being an electrician helped. Used stock parts for a 1983 Dodge D150 from Advanced Auto, costing me maybe $100. The timing mark is now rock steady. By the time I got it done, I only had time to take it down the street, but no more bog! _________________________
