I have a strange issue where my left rear brake light and signal light isn't working. The front left signal works fine. The trail lights are fine too. I checked the bulbs and the ground, they are good. What would cause this issue on just one corner?

I'm hoping to confirm what I think is the cause of my sloppy steering in my '69 Charger. All steering components and ball joints are new, steering coupler is good. I removed the steering box and adjusted the worm gear following the procedure in the manual - it was a bit loose, so that was...

Sounds good. I'll do that when i switch back to the red cup for the pump.

I believe it was a blue cup. The car had a red one in it.

I did, vacuum at temp is about 17 and I have pink springs in it which are rated for 7, so probably could go up one more to the natural spring at 8. Also used the vacuum gauge to set the idle mixture. Considering that it does eventually start running good, I think this might all be a product of...

I tried raising the accelerator pump, relooked at timing and pulled the idle Air screws out a bit. Still no difference. Maybe blocking the exhaust cross over was a bad idea?

That's a good suggestion. When I rebuilt the carb, based on the instructions, I did lower the height of accelerator pump and thought it was strange that it was set so high from the factory (it's not a very old carb). I'll try straightening that rod out a bit to be more like what it was.

I only drive it when the weather is nice ~20 degrees C or more. I have a manual choke and keep it on for the first several minutes of driving.

Just rebuilt the carb on my Charger (383), and also changed the intake manifold gasket to block the exhaust cross-over, hoping to eliminate my vapor lock issues. For the carb, it's an Edelbrock 650 AVS and I used the Edelbrock kit, following the instructions word by word. Getting the car back on...

Very helpful information beanhead! I'll go through the process tomorrow!

I have it on ported vacuum. Switched to manifold and it was worse.

I had some surging at cruise. Thought it was a fuel issue and ruled that out. Then I disconnected the vacuum advance and the problem went away. What's the deal with that? I didn't change anything on the car and did notice that the surging got progressively worse in recent weeks. Does that signal...

I'm installing a 3-gauge set with mechanical oil pressure and water temp on a '69 Charger. Curious where everyone is running the lines. Quickly peeking under the hood, i don't see a good spot, so before spending a bunch of time exploring, i'm wondering what others have done? I'm not opposed to...

My 69 Charger with manual steering has a squeak in the column, sounds like in the lower portion in the engine compartment. It sounds kind of like dried or a tight rubber bushing. Besides the squeak, everything else seems fine. Can it be lubed or is there something that needs to be replaced?

Yes, i've adjusted the gear. Had it a little too tight and the steering wheel wouldn't return to straight on its own after a turn, loosened it up a touch from there and I think it's as good as it gets. Is there a center position in the box? I wonder if when adding the quick ratio Pittman arm...

They are radials. I'll have to read up on alignments.

I do, but not on hand. Does anyone have the ideal settings that I could compare to?

Yes, sorry, positive caster

My 69 Charger drives straight, doesn't pull and no vibration in the steering wheel. It's all stock front end components except fast ratio pitman arm and idler arm. I had a recent wheel alignment and asked the guy to try and get it to the top end of spec in terms of negative caster. Still, when...

Bronze bushing. I'm pretty sure the clutch is fully disengaging, no signs that it's not. I haven't tried shifting without the clutch, I'll try that tomorrow.
