Yep and EVERYTHING in them was mechanical! Good ole vacuum powered wipers that stopped moving whenever you accelerated and I actually had to carry a spare fuel pump in the glove box for my R/T. It got ripped apart so often I could change that puppy in 6 minutes on the side of the road. And now we whine when we get a "cricket" noise from the fuel system!
