    72 Charger fuel gauge incorrect

    Thanks, I will see what I can reach on the back of the gauge tomorrow night and try to check for good connections. Anything else I can do on the gauge end? I should add that I had the gauge out of the car to put a decal over the face to restore the look - also hoping nothing got damaged that I...

    72 Charger fuel gauge incorrect

    Hi, I have recently completed my restoration of my 72 Charger and one of my various bugs I noticed on the first ride (to the gas station) was that the fuel gauge does not read correctly. It is the original fuel gauge, with a new sending unit and tank. I have found that it took a lot of fuel for...

    Speedometer not working in 72 Charger

    I took a look at the manual and now understand better. The gear holder has to be clocked correctly based on the gear in it. I was off on the wrong setting. I was able to rotate it, I can no longer spin the end by hand, so I am willing to bet this has solved it but I just won't be able to try the...

    Gas leaking between filler neck and gas tank on 72 Charger

    Sounds like I will need to order the more expensive one from steel...I took a closer look just now... Should I be sitting it in past the lip pointed out in the photo or just up to it like I had it?

    Gas leaking between filler neck and gas tank on 72 Charger

    Thanks, all. I will take a closer look at mine tonight - I recall it going in pretty tight. I am not sure if maybe i went in too deep or not deep enough with the filler neck? I'll also check for any damage to it. For what it is worth - I don't see one on Rock Auto right now, and I did find my...

    Gas leaking between filler neck and gas tank on 72 Charger

    Hi, I have recently finished a complete restoration on my 72 Charger. I took the car out for my first test drive and one of the issues I have after adding more fuel at the gas station is that fuel leaks out on to the ground between the fuel filler neck and the grommet that goes into the tank...

    Speedometer not working in 72 Charger

    Hi, I have recently finished a complete restoration on my 72 Charger. Included with that restoration was a new 408 crate engine from Blueprint and a new 727 transmission from TCI. I took the car out for my first test drive and one of the issues I have is that my speedometer does not work...

    Questions about 904 transmission upgrades

    Thanks for the info. Here is an example of one of the forums where people mention the value of upgrading to the steel planetary: http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1129309/904-aluminum-vs-steel-planetary-sets.html. Also, the last post on this page is one of the examples of...

    Questions about 904 transmission upgrades

    From my research I have found that the 727 had a steel planetary opposed to the aluminum explaining why they never had issue ripping the splines like the early 904. I do plan on putting some power to this thing hopefully starting around 450. Also, the 24 spring setup on the front drum is one of...

    Questions about 904 transmission upgrades

    That is a good idea though, I bet the washer was in backward and dug the tab/tabs in.

    Questions about 904 transmission upgrades

    I have a long list of other things that I will be upgrading with this front planetary and priced out the parts separately. Recommendations for upgrading the front planetary were that the early model aluminum ones had issue with the splines, not necessarily the number of pinions.

    Questions about 904 transmission upgrades

    Hi, I have been doing a lot of research on upgrades for my 1972 Dodge Charger with the original 904 transmission. One of the items that many people mentioned upgrading was the front planetary from the original 3 pinion aluminum to a 4 pinion steel. I ordered and received a used 4 pinion steel...
