    Hi all,

    Recently purchased a 1969 Dodge A108 Tradesman. 318 V8 with Torqueflite auto trans.
    Its running and driving but could use a tune up and overall health check.

    Any recommendations for mechanics that know their way around these vans?

    Thanks,
    --Waldo

    welcome to vintage vans,
    the amp meter in the dash, a lose wire or oxidized connections have burned a lot of these to the ground.
    the voltage regulator has points and could fail. ,a new electronic one would be a wise move.
    distributer with points should be on your future list to replace, depending on the year tells what saftey features it has???
