I bought my Charger in ‘85, and it was my daily and I cruised Lansdale and Pottstown Pa. I lost count of how many times I heard… “Do you climb in the door?” Hey! Slide over the hood!” :^} It was goofed on at the time.
Dusters are already pricey. To the point where I’d rather build a B body.

The first time I’d prefer a 318. There’s a first for everything!
A guy I worked with had a 400 with the pilot drilled and machined for the bushing. And that was out of a ‘72 Newport. The 4 speed cars got the same forged crankshaft.
Does that really matter in a car that was raced, and made the scene? I know the OEM resto guys stress about that stuff. Same guys that will give a pass to 70% Asian sheet metal from a few years ago.
Beautiful car BTW!
The issue with aerodynamics is you end up with the cars we have today. There’s only one way to cheat the wind in a 4 wheeled vehicle. To me it just takes any kind of artistic thought out of car design. The federal regs did the same.
Funny thing about that era… you could buy an older car for not much $’s. I got my ‘68 Satellite wagon for $425 in 2001, and my ‘68 4 door 383 Satellite for $1200 in mint condition. Then “Cash for Clunkers” happened. So a lot of cars from the 90’s into the early 00’s got scrapped. Almost...
I’m glad I bought my 4 speed car back in ‘85. Back then it was had to find all the parts to convert, but it seems like less than 10% of total ‘68-‘70 Charger production had 4 pedals.
It’s been a long time, and The DC manuals are buried. But I followed the procedure they recommended for the Six Pack setup. Mind you, I have headers on both cars and a slightly more aggressive cam. They basically said the carbs were all jetted to lean from the factory. They recommended two steps...
It’s funny… I don’t have my 1970 FSM handy, just the 1968. But from that excerpt above, it almost reads as if they are telling you to disconnect the thing… without actually saying so. They allude to a “650 to 700RPM curb idle speed” that you would never experience with the thing energized. It’s...
If it has nothing to do with emissions why the 900RPM idle speed? GM used air pumps on all their high performance engines at the time. Chrysler didn’t use air pumps, but leaned the mixture on the carburetors, (idle mixture, and main jetting). It was all to meet the ever increasing emission...
Mine are the 1970 version. I’m not sure if the 1971 had electric heat. I do see you don’t have a center carb bowl vent. It was open to the atmosphere in ‘69-‘70, but was piped into the engine in ‘71.
