Ugh. This is getting on my nerves. So, i got my big ol jack out, put the front of the car on stands, opened the cap, opened the heater valve, heat full on, and monitored. The top tube to the radiator was cold until about 186f, then it got hot (i assume thats when the thermostat opened). At idle...

So i might have been an idiot x2. I think my diff is broken too… Can someone help me figure this out. So, i have 469 case, 3.55 sure grip. I dont recall which gears ive bought, but they werent the top of the line, but werent the cheapest (one of the ones summit was selling). I had a gentleman...

holly crap... yea, i never knew about this issue... all i knew was that it was bullet proof, so was very surprised that something broke. The material inside the transmission tray seemed like cluch material. under normal driving (just sort of cruising), it seems to operate just fine. Ok, ill...

apologies, i used a premixed 50/50 solution (orange fluid for american cars). To answer other questions, the car was restored 9k miles ago (10yrs ago), so most items are in a fairly good condition. I did have replace a fan clutch a few years ago, but since then it operates well (no overheating...

any ideas on rebuild cost?

Hi all, so im here to say that im an idiot. 68 charger/383/727 tranny. I forgot to check my transmission oil level and I think i broke it. I normally add some tranny fluid like once a year, but last year went by so fast and I forgot. How I know the level was low? when starting from cold, I had...

ah... and here i thought something was wrong. I was having some noise (unless i point it out to my car friends, you couldn't really hear it) on light throttle. So I guess it might be normal. I'll change the diff fluid as i was starting to get some chatter at low speeds.

so this past sunday, i poped my cap off, got the car idling, but didn't see too many bubles at idle. My idle temp seems to be around 190, so perhaps not enough? I steadily increased the revs to about 2.5k rpm (car warmed up a bit closer to 200), held there for about 30 seconds, and then...

do you mind sharing some sound clips. After another day of driving with my cut outs, i think Im just gonna opt to remove them, and do a full system from the headers. I just now need to figure out something that sounds like a true mopar / not too loud, but loud enough to sound like a muscle...

Thank you so much for quick responses. So the whole coolant replacement was because we replaced the bottom hose since it appeared to be collapsing (though i've never had overheating issues) due to wear/age. We put in Gates flexible heavy duty hose (my mechanic swears by them - and just...

hi all, I was in the shop getting some fluids changed, and we noticed that one of the bottom coolant hoses was bad, so we drained the coolant from radiator, replaced the hose and refilled the fluid (of note, my heater valve was closed, and we didn't flush from the engine plugs), closed the...

im actually not sure, i would assume something stock'ish (there is no fancy lettering on it or anything), as during the restoration it was restored to mostly stock speck. Its my understanding that old mopar sound is sort of unique, id like to enhance that sound. Is 1 1/2 turbo a dynomax exhaust?

Hi All, I have a 68 charger with 383. The car was restored about 10 years ago, but im not sure whats inside the engine (likely stokish cam / 650 carb). I've had doug's 3 inch headers installed a while back, the rest of the exhaust is 2.25 inches (stock) with an h-pipe. I also and electrical...

Hi, I'm working on replacing my AC system, and manual calls for a matching set of Gates 7575 xl belts. I'm doing searches on some vendors, and I can't find anyone that sells a matching set. Any recomendations on where to go to find it?

Hi, I have ended up ordering the kit from original air/vintage air, and the instructions are not very clear to me. Would anyone mind sending me an underhood picture around the firewall (how everything is connected there on the return).

thank you. Could u give a full spec on the bolts please. I'd like to order a set ahead of time, in case they fell out or something.

Is there a way to check them/tighten without pulling the tranny? I'm starting to look up info on it, and it does seem like this might be flex plate. But in some vids that im looking at, its making a noise when stationary, mine is only making noise when driving. also, any recommendations on...

I have a buddy with a shop, but he's no expert in old mopars. Is flex plate bolts easy to reach? is replacing flex plate a simple job, or requires taking everything apart and having special knowledge?

so i def have a clunk when i shift, but its not a ujoint, its the diff. I had me a dif built by a local building (489/3.55 posi), but he fucked it up. It whines a bit, and does have the clunk. I need to either rebuild it again, or just buy a new rear diff, and I don't trust local builders...

Hi all, 68 charger/383/auto. On my recent drive I got some weird noise from the driveline, and I can't isolate it well. Most of the time it sounds like a very loud valve tapping (or like something was stuck to the driveshaft and as it spins it hits something - tapping increases as the speed...
