good catch.
a Pacer is not a Plymouth, that's for sure.
you got it .........dodge Omni, or Plymouth Horizon,
but why would anyone want one ??!!
and............when you find yours, contact me for a shop manual. I have
one.

I think some of those had a crank with a longer stroke or something funny
like that too.
