I am East of Sacramento but still close. I don’t recall seeing this car.

I have never RE-torqued any engine fastener except header bolts since some gaskets do seem to compress a bit after a few heat cycles.

That is funny...I was thinking the same thing! You can be cavalier and even ballsy when it isn't as hard to replace what breaks! I've thought the same thing about trying parts here that are of unknown history. Transmissions though, they are not like engines where I'd wonder more about valve...

I think I like the pedals better with no trim on them. Today I took the trim off of the parking brake pad and gas pedal and I like it that way. PG Classics? Thanks for the tip. I just ordered a pair. They should be here well before Spring Fling in Van Nuys!

Ha, yeah… when I was still working, you knew I wasn’t an office guy when you shook hands with me. The last 5 years though mine have been developing cracks and splits in the colder weather. I have tried a variety of lotions and balms but nothing works 100% other than sitting on the couch. Screw...

If I cut too much, I expose some of the ugly inside that is usually hidden. The ignition pushrod is one thing. That is on the left side. If I cut too much of the collar off, it will be visible through the drivers door. I still shake my head at the way the ignition switch is in the GM...

With every project that involves making a part designed for ONE car fit a DIFFERENT car, there will be obstacles to making it work. I expect those but sometimes there are things that pop up that you didn’t think of. The wiring looked to be the hard part but thanks to some helpful members, that...

ALL 68-70 Chargers are worth money. For a shop to estimate a measly $10,000 value, they are clearly out of touch with the market. Cars that are relatively complete but need a LOT of work often get listed for over $20,000. What sets the 1970 apart are the one year only parts that are harder to...

The '346 heads I used in my 383 had seats installed that hung over the port walls.

There were no Charger 500 models for 1968. The guy wrote the ad wrong or just added the "500" to get more responses from a word search.

There were 400 4 speeds built for cars and even trucks. I have a 440 in a 75 Power Wagon that originally had a 4 speed. It has a forged crank. The 400 4 speeds may have as well.

I didn't retire from 36 years of construction to end up being the guy that gets blamed for damaged parts during shipping....

This topic REALLY needs to be discussed in greater detail in the political forum. The most accurate answers would be directly related to moves or actions by highly influential people and that stuff is a hornet's nest in the General forum. An equally interesting question might be to look back...

The E body K member will physically fit, there is a slightly different angle for where the steering box attaches. The 71-72 B and 70-74 E K members were supposed to have a unique center link to accommodate it but I have used an E body K member in a 70 Charger with no problems. If you can weld...

The roll pin held that bracket in place like the roll pin in our traditional pot coupler. Now the firewall plate can come off. I could either use the plate from my original column or modify this plate. I’m not sure which way that I will go.

Backing up a bit…. This adapter was in the shed out back. It is splined with the same diameter as my column. It seems like it will work. That black cover needed a little file work to clear the horn tube. It fits neat. The other end…. The lower shaft was removed. It will need to...

It looks like I removed that bracket in the red car. See finger pointing to the mounting holes: Here is the evap lines from the gas tank to the weird trunk tube. From the top corner of the tank…. Through the RR frame rail, hugging the floor then… ….attaching to hose nipples to...

The 1970 was the only year of the 68-70s that had that emission evaporative tube and 5 vacuum lines. I'm wondering if it is also there to protect that. I'd have to look closer at the car to refresh my memory.
