Figures that Chrysler couldn't do it right the first time when they designed
the parts or at least design a washer that would take into account for the
differences in the manifolds.
Sorry, but it's a typical American design problem, same for their crappy
problematic trannies.
My dad used to be a big American car fanatic until he bought my mom a Vega
and then a 1976 Aspen. Last American cars he ever bought. POS
