79 ramcharger 5.2L 4brl help

Anways im pretty it has headers,lifters,cam,carb, in take maniford but still needs alllott of work to get it going good.... Basically does anyways have a list of what ramchargers need? Factory specs? Compression etc:y night high
You may also look in the first gen truck section as they are almost the same.
They have the same issues as the trucks. Not working/melted amp gauge, burnt wires etc... Oh, And don't forget rust! Post some pics of it!

Had a '77, 360, 4 spd., 4 wd, 600 Holley on an Edelbrock with headers for 11 years. Stock internals. Ran really well and reliable. 140K without clutch change. Some flat towing and snow plowing.
Steering stabilizer made quite a difference on mine. Front wheel bearings were pressed on that were a pain when doing rotors. Everyday driving ate headers every 2-2.5 years. Went back to the stock manifolds after three sets.
Wheel wells, rear bed support channel, and door bottoms were my major rust areas. Some roof line at the front where it bolts to the windshield frame rust also.
No electrical issues for me.
