Finishing up my dash rebuild project. New wiring harness, instrument panel, AC box and radio/speakers are all back installed. I’m still chasing a few last gremlins.
I’ve got a bug with the wiring for the panel lights and I think it’s related to the SE special light package. It seems to be wired...
I went with the two port system as per the service manual.
The only thing left is the throttle cable attachment to the edelbrock carburetor and the fuse box tie-in.
I have a cable. The bracket I have may or may not be correct. Does anyone have a photo that clearly shows the bracket hookup for...
Hey y’all,
I’m in the process of installing a carter electric fuel pump to overcome hot startup problems. The pump isn’t intended to run continuously.
I’ve installed the wiring to the relay located under the package tray. I have the switch wired to the signal side and will take power from the...
Had fun today. I think I’ve gone as far as I’m gonna go. Now to get it all back together.
New instruments, new wiring harness, rebuilt switches, new Rebuilt AC box. Rebuilt heater AC control panel. New brake booster/master. New electric aux fuel pump.
Trying to get the original AC working...
Shim it!. I had to put shims in that gap as well. Maybe split the gap and shim 1/8” on each side. Fit the chin panel and see if it helps. New panels aren’t perfect. The gap between the inner and out fenders isn’t closed that I’ve seen. You run across all sorts of weird stuff redoing these old...
So I discovered all the under dash wiring and switches for the cruise control unit seem to still to be present, so good news.
My question now is why the cruise control unit that came with the car only has provision for one vacuum line when the diagram shows two lines and the brake cutoff switch...
The car is a ‘69 Charger with factory air which I’m trying to get going again. The car came to me with the AC equipment in the trunk.
I had the compressor rebuilt to run R 134 refrigerant. I had the evaporator rebuilt at classic air and a new condensor.
Any more details on the thermostatic...
So I’m in Deep on my dash project! Goal is new wiring harness, gauges and AC box. Plus a new brake booster while I’m at it.
Quick question, is this valve required somewhere? I didn’t find one in the original system. If so, where is it located? I bought a NOS piece but have no idea if it’s...
I’ve started a big dash rebuilding project and want to install a newly rebuilt instrument panel, radio, new wiring harness and the new heater box.
I’ve changed these once before but not on a 69 Charger.
My forum question, is it possible to get the heater box out without removing the dash? I’m...
So the car died and coasted to a stop last weekend. The water pump belt broke around the same time but might have broke a few minutes before it stopped. I replaced the distributor today and it cranks fine and has 6V to the coil. The distributor rotor was rubbing the pickup. I’ll replace the coil...
So I was out driving my 69 Charger and the car died at ~55mph. The cars brakes became rock hard and getting it stopped took a huge force on the brakes. I had noticed previously the pedal was rock hard when the car wasn’t running.
The brakes work fine when the car is running. The master and...
Classic Industries seems to be out of stock, anyone know of an alternate source? I was hoping not to have to switch to a universal kit.
thanks in advance
So I’m painting a 69 Charger in silver metallic base. I plan to follow up with a House of Kolor Kandy. First complete car I’ve tried painting. The car is dis-assembled and on a cart for painting. I didn’t really appreciate how hard silver is to paint.
Everything on the car has an epoxy primer...
I really like what you did with the hoses. How did you go about the adapter to go from the flanged rv2 connectors to modern hose connectors?
I just got my compressor back on the car withh all the pulleys. Now alls I have to do is sort out the hoses.
The evaporated and condenser are getting...
